Well-presented throughout, the restaurant offers seating for up to 60 covers and features thoughtfully designed dining spaces that blend contemporary comfort with historic charm.
In addition to the main dining and bar area, the lower-level dining rooms feature beamed ceilings and slate floors, providing a distinctive and atmospheric customer experience.
Occupying a prime central position just moments from the shores of Lake Windermere, Jackson’s Bistro benefits from year-round tourist footfall, with the Lake District being one of the UK’s most visited leisure locations.
The business has traded successfully for over 45 years, including more than 32 years under the current ownership, during which time it has built an excellent reputation for quality dining and service.
Once a regular at Jackson’s before going on to take over the bistro in 1994, the owner, Andrew Bedford, is now looking to sell due to retirement.
He said, “During my time, my hardworking team and I have built a reputation that I am immensely proud of, but it is now time to hand over the baton and retire.
“I have loved my 32 years of ownership and still enjoy it today. There is so much opportunity for a prospective new owner to develop and grow this successful business to new heights, and I am more than happy to help any purchaser to achieve a smooth transition into a new era.
Marslie McGregor, Senior Business Agent – Pubs & Restaurants at Christie & Co, is managing the sale process and commented, “Jackson’s Bistro is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a proven, profitable restaurant business in one of the Lake District’s strongest hospitality locations.
“Having traded successfully for more than three decades, the business benefits from a loyal customer base, excellent local and visitor demand, and a highly efficient evening‑only trading model. This is a particularly attractive proposition for owner‑operators, experienced restaurateurs, or lifestyle buyers seeking a standout business in a premier tourist setting.”
Jackson’s Bistro is on the market on a virtual freehold basis with an asking price of £625,000.
