Have you ever dreamed of opening your very own pub or restaurant serving a host of different people from across the community and beyond.

If so, then the number of vacant pubs and restaurants up for grabs for both operation and investment is extensive. From small community pubs to former nightclubs there are several opportunities to take advantage of.

With a thriving social scene, Berkshire is buzzing with visitors and residents looking for traditional and well-run establishments. Unfortunately, due to rising costs the number of independents is declining rapidly disappointing many locals.

Here are some of the pubs and restaurants – both vacant and occupied – on the market this month.

This £2 Million well-established pub is situated in the heart of Ascot on Station Hill. The public house is a substantial property arranged over three floors.

Previously, Amaiya had room for a ground-floor function room and a basement nightclub.

The first floor is set out as manager's accommodation.

This is an incredible opportunity for anyone with a spare £2 million and a desire to bring some life to the sleepy town of Ascot following racedays.

The Bel & Dragon was a popular established pub located in a prominent town centre position just 75 metres west of Windsor & Eton Riverside railway station.

This is described as of interest to pub and bar operators, investors and brewers who wish to transform a once thriving local pub and restaurant.


The building benefits from a town centre position in historic Windsor, to the northern flank of Windsor Castle, fronting the corner of Datchet Road at its junction with Thames Street.

The pub fronts the main tourist route and a pedestrian thoroughfare from the centre of Windsor to the bridge, over the River Thames into Eton. Many casual dining brands are represented within close proximity, including Browns; Prezzo; Nando's; Thai Square; Giggling Squid; and Zizzi.

Loch Fyne, Ascot, is an attractive pub and restaurant set in an affluent area. Fitted to a high standard, it has room for over 100 covers on the ground floor and 50 external covers.

This business, which is now vacant, had a huge customer base from across Berkshire.

The 1950's former pub arranged over ground and first floors with conservatory extension to side and single floor extensions to rear.

The operations of the restaurants will be unaffected by the sale of the building.

The property comprises the ground, basement and first floor of a two storey detached building with painted and brick elevations beneath a multi pitched tiled roof.

The Castle is in a corner position at the junction of Oxford Road and Love Lane on a primary road in a semi-rural residential area which is a short distance south from Castle School, Vodafone HQ and Donnington Castle.

This would be an excellent opportunity for an investor interested in purchasing an open pub/restaurant.
