This is a rare opportunity to take on an iconic high street bar in Romford town centre, right at the heart of South Street’s thriving nightlife scene. Currently operating as a managed house, the venue is now available on a new 5-year Tenancy Agreement — giving the incoming operator full flexibility to shape it to their vision.

Inside, the pub features a split-level open-plan trading space, designed to adapt seamlessly between daytime and night-time trade. The ground floor combines a relaxed daytime feel with the potential for a high-energy evening atmosphere, offering over 140 covers across fixed booths, sofas, high stools, and bar tables, with plenty of room for dancing and socialising. Running along the right-hand side, a striking 14-metre bar keeps service smooth even during busy weekends.

Upstairs, a mezzanine level provides a further 80 covers, complete with its own 8-metre bar and a mix of sofa booths and loose tables, overlooking the action downstairs — perfect for private bookings, group events, or additional late-night trade.

Out front, the site benefits from a pavement licence for 6 tables and chairs, adding valuable kerb appeal and outdoor seating options. A fully fitted trade kitchen supports the food offer and also operates a successful Dark Kitchen model, with agreement flexibility for the new operator to continue this lucrative revenue stream.

With a 2am licence on Friday and Saturday nights, this is an exciting chance to run a bar in Romford that’s already a key player in the local nightlife circuit, with huge scope to grow both food and drink sales.
