The Moor Hen Tea Rooms are situated on the grounds of Seaton Hall, which is easily accessed via the nearby A174 main road from Whitby. It is close to the popular seaside village of Staithes, which enjoys year-round tourist trade.

Accessed via the front it leads directly through into the main trading areas. These are open plan with modern contemporary style décor. There is engineered oak flooring, seating on a mixture of tables set at loose tables with spindle back chairs and comfortable chairs and sofas. It is currently laid out for 36 covers.

The serving counter is located to the rear with base units behind. Ancillary accommodation includes ladies and gentleman’s customer toilets. There are ample storage spaces, a staff toilet, dry store and a good size catering kitchen fitted with a range of stainless-steel fittings and full extraction.

External areas are located at the front where there is an enclosed seating area with picnic benches. Parking is via a car park shared with the antique shop and is located to the side of the café.

Our client owns the adjacent hall and surrounding land. They are currently running the café themselves with staff but are now looking to create a lease for a new operator. The café and the antique shop were created out of some unused outbuildings. It has proved successful, but our client needs to free up more time to concentrate on developing other parts of the land and the holiday letting cottages.

This represents an excellent opportunity for a new operator to really develop and push trade to higher levels. It currently operates purely as a tearoom, but given the kitchen facilities on offer it would be possible to develop a more extensive food range, open longer hours and make better use of the space on offer.

Located in one of the most visited areas of the country with excellent access to Whitby and the surrounding areas, as well as the nearby North York Moors National Park. The Moor Hen is ideally situated to take advantage of the high number of visitors to the area, having prominent signage on the main road. There is also a good level of local population that can be a very useful source of income during the quieter winter months.
