Trafalga Inn

Description

Trafalga Inn is a family run traditional pub and restaurant, located within the local residential part of the popular seaside town, meaning the pub benefits from year round trade, as oppose to many other sites that rely on seasonal demand. The pub has been in the family ownership since the 80's, with a long standing reputation and well established good will. The pub boasts large and well apportioned trading spaces, creating a relaxed atmosphere, attractive to families, locals and tourists in equal measure, serving hearty portions of a range of British Pub classics

Location

The Trafalga Inn is located in Chapel St Leonards, a popular coastal village on the Lincolnshire seafront, well known for its strong tourism trade and busy seasonal footfall. Chapel St Leonards sits between Skegness and Mablethorpe and is a well‑established holiday destination, benefitting from caravan parks, holiday accommodation and day‑trip visitors throughout the year. The pub is well positioned to serve both local residents and the significant influx of tourists, making it an established food‑led destination with repeat custom and strong peak‑season trading potential.

Internal Details

The Trafalgar Inn offers an extensive and versatile internal layout suitable for both food‑led and wet‑led trade. The pub provides approximately 170 internal covers, arranged across a dedicated restaurant area (around 60 covers) and a main bar/lounge area (approximately 110 covers). The trading areas are served by a single central bar servery, providing efficient service across the pub. To the rear is a fully equipped commercial kitchen supported by ancillary stores, offering strong capacity for a high‑volume food operation.

External Details

Externally, the property benefits from a customer car park with space for approximately 30 vehicles, a key asset for destination dining and seasonal trade. To the front of the pub is a beer garden providing seating for around 30–40 covers, ideal for summer and tourist trade. Additional external storage areas support the operational needs of the business.

Owners Accommodation

The Opportunity

The pub has been in the family ownership since the 80's, under several generations so the pub has a lot of good will with the local community, as well as tourism trade.
