Belgrave Road Pub | Near the Golden Mile | 270 SQFT

For a food operator, the location advantage is procurement. The spice wholesalers on Belgrave Road sell ingredients at trade prices that restaurants in other cities pay double for. Fresh produce from the greengrocers along Melton Road is sourced daily. If your concept has any South Asian influence — curries, street food, fusion — your cost of goods here will be significantly lower than anywhere else in the East Midlands. The kitchen includes a four-pot bain-marie, which points to the last operator's curry-focused menu. They ran a lunchtime thali service that was popular with the local workforce and a delivery menu in the evenings. The equipment is in good condition and the extraction system was upgraded during the 2022 renovation of the pub's ground floor. Diwali and Navratri bring massive footfall to the Golden Mile. During these festivals, the pub's wet sales double and the food demand follows. The landlord specifically wants an operator who can capitalise on these seasonal peaks — the previous concept was closed during Diwali, which was considered a missed opportunity.
