Pub Overview

Fantastic Sea View - Refurbishment Planned

Due for refurbishment the Harbour lights is located in the large seaside town of South Shields. The pub is situated just off Ocean Road, which is well known for the selection of curry restaurants it offers, and beside the water affording it fantastic sea views. It is already popular with both locals and tourists, but given its close proximity to a large caravan site and varied entertainment venues at the seafront, as well as the town centre being nearby, there is excellent opportunity to capitalise on the extensive passing trade.

Post refurbishment by Star Pubs and Bars the pub will have a fantastic new look and this combined with the development of the food offer, potentially with a seafood influence, and a complimentary drink offer, including more premium beer and spirit options, will build the pub's appeal and make it a go-to spot for a drink or a bite to eat in a lovely location.

If you've benefited from running or owning a pub business, we'd love to hear what experience you can bring.

The right operator for the Harbour Lights will have extensive experience in a similar hospitality business. They will have a clear vision for their food & drinks menu and marketing strategy and can create a memorable experience for their customers.

Trading Area & Facilities

Once the planned works are complete, the Harbour Lights will showcase a refreshed, contemporary interior decor complete with new or revamped fixtures & fitting and soft finishes throughout. Currently, the layout consists of a main bar area as you enter, with a snug area to the left, both of which are used for both eating and drinking. There is a conservatory to the back, which is predominately used for dining.

Externally the pub has an eye-catching facade with large black painted window frames and gold signage and as part of the refurbishment plans the outside will undergo a facelift to maximise kerb appeal through new lighting & signage scheme. To the rear of the pub is an enclosed beer garden with picnic benches, which adds to the pub's appeal especially in the warm summer months.

Private Accommodation

The private accommodation upstairs consists of two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, and lounge. Where required there will be appropriate works carried out in line with the Star Pubs & Bars Ready to Trade Promise.
