About This Kitchen

The streets between Gunwharf Quays and the University of Portsmouth's main campus create a unique crossover zone. Daytime trade comes from the 25,000 students and university staff; evenings and weekends draw from the Gunwharf outlet shoppers and the apartment residents along the waterfront. The delivery catchment covers both PO1 and the northern edge of PO5.

Positioned in the crossover zone between Gunwharf Quays and the University of Portsmouth's Guildhall campus, this pub captures two distinct customer bases without committing to either. Lunchtime brings the student crowd; evenings and weekends bring the shoppers and waterfront residents.

The kitchen is mid-sized with a combi oven that the previous operator installed for a rotisserie chicken concept. The landlord reports they were averaging around £5,200 per month in food sales before relocating to a larger unit in Fratton. The combi oven alone is worth approximately £6,000 and stays with the premises. The minimum guarantee model here is designed to attract an operator confident in hitting the numbers. Below £4,000 in monthly food sales, you pay the base rent of £500 and nothing more. Above that threshold, the landlord takes 12% of the excess — which still leaves you with strong margins on a well-run operation. The Clean Air Zone boundary runs nearby, but the pub itself sits just outside it, meaning your supply deliveries are unaffected by the HGV charges that complicate operations for venues closer to the naval base.
