Westgate Halifax
Situated on a busy shopping street, The Westgate holds a prominent corner position on the busy Union Road in Halifax. Central to the cultural hub of the town centre, the pub also benefits from being a short walk from the ever popular Piece Hall. Infact, there are over 20,000 potential customers within a ten minute walk from the pub, visiting the area to shop and socialise or work nearby.
Once refurbished, The Westgate will be a characterful bar enhanced by quirky details that will appeal to a new, younger demographic. It will also accommodate larger groups due to its eclectic mix of seating. The new kitchen on site will allow for a strong food offer to be introduced - this kitchen will come equipped with a hoist to facilitate a faster service to customers and save staffing costs.
The Westgate would suit a food and drink offer that has a clear identity and stands out from local competition in The Piece Hall. An on trend snacking menu would go down a treat in the area - think Yorkshire tapas or ribs & wings. Combine this with premium draft lagers, a craft beer selection and an excellent selection of spirits to appeal to the demographics of the area.
Innovative Operator Wanted
Post refurbishment, The Westgate will be a stylish bar full of personality. We are now looking to partner with an equally innovative and on trend operator who has prior experience running a similar venue and is passionate about pubs!
