Portsmouth Walkabout Bar up for sale

Portsmouth Walkabout Bar up for sale

The administrators of Regent Inns have placed one of the failed pub company's Walkabout sites on the market for £175,000.

BDO Stoy Hayward has instructed property agent Christie & Co to sell the Walkabout Bar in Portsmouth, which comprises an open-plan trading area with capacity for over 730 people, an external 30-cover seating area and space on the first floor that is currently unused.

Anthony Jenkins, associate director at Christie & Co, said: "Close to a number of university faculty buildings and student halls of residences, the bar's location should appeal to a numbers of high-street operators. We have already received enquiries from a number of interested parties, despite the business having only just become available."

Regent Inns, which also owned the Jongleurs and Old Orleans brands, collapsed into administration last October, a year after reporting record losses of £58.1m.

A number of its sites were snapped up by newly formed company Intertain, managed by Regent Inns' former directors John Leslie and Mike Foster and by Mike Dowell, from Pitcher & Piano.
