Seabirds, Bridlington

Property Description

The Seabirds is a substantial, detached traditional pub located in a high-footfall coastal area of Bridlington, a popular Yorkshire seaside resort. Positioned on a main road just under two miles from the town centre and approximately half a mile from North Beach, the pub enjoys strong visibility and easy access for both locals and tourists. The area is highly frequented by holidaymakers, with numerous caravan parks and B&Bs within walking distance, creating a steady seasonal customer base. The Seabirds is also situated close to a range of shops, further enhancing passing trade potential. Bridlington is well-connected via its railway station on the Yorkshire Coast Line, operated by Northern, offering direct links to Hull, Scarborough, and other regional hubs.

Pub Layout

This characterful pub is arranged across two main trading areas, both served by a central round bar. At the front of the building, guests are welcomed into a lively bar area, complete with pool table, dartboard, and seating for around 30 guests — ideal for casual drinks and community events. To the rear sits a much larger room, offering table seating for up to 70 guests. This flexible space is perfect for dining, private functions, or live entertainment. The pub is supported by a large commercial catering kitchen, generous storage areas, a basement-level beer cellar, and good-sized customer toilets. Externally, the site offers excellent facilities. There is a large car park with space for over 18 vehicles, a decked drinking area to the rear with a grassed lawn, and several benches at the front of the building, providing ample outdoor seating for customers in warmer months.

A full refurbishment scheme is set to breathe new life into the venue. Plans include complete external redecoration and refreshed signage, the addition of a new terrace seating area with festoon lighting, and bi-fold doors that open from the main building onto the terrace. Internally, the works will deliver full redecoration with updated fixtures and fittings, a refurbished bar servery and back bar, a brand new carvery unit, and upgrades to the toilet facilities. With its generous space, flexible layout, and significant investment in refurbishment, this property offers a rare opportunity to create a modern, welcoming pub that can cater to a wide variety of customers and trading styles

Trading Style

The pub currently operates as a predominantly wet-led venue, with food service limited to a popular Sunday Carvery. There is no midweek food offering in place, presenting a clear opportunity for growth. The business enjoys a strong rhythm of the week, supported by established pool and darts teams as well as a regular quiz night, which help maintain consistent footfall and community engagement.
