About this property
Deacon's Bank is an established Modern British restaurant occupying an impressive Grade II listed former Williams Deacon's Bank building in the centre of Chapel-en-le-Frith, a Peak District market town. It is offered at an asking price of £40,000. A new lease is available directly from the freeholder, and the premises are fully fitted and ready to trade.
Since opening in July 2023, the restaurant has been listed in the Michelin Guide, has held two aa Rosettes for three consecutive award years and has been featured in The Times. Restaurant turnover was approximately £380,000 in 2024, and sales of approximately £330,000 were recorded in the nine months to September 2025. Alongside à la carte and tasting menus, the restaurant has traded Sunday lunches, afternoon teas, private dining, weddings and ticketed events.
The building combines carved stonework, sandstone piers and exposed timber beams with a contemporary fit-out. The accommodation includes a main dining room and bar, a separate second dining room, and a chef's counter set at the original vault doorway into a well-equipped commercial kitchen. To the rear is a landscaped garden with a terrace and decking. Most fixtures, fittings and equipment are landlord-owned and will remain available for the incoming operator's use.
The restaurant trades five days per week, Wednesday to Sunday. The freeholder is open to either continuing the Deacon's Bank concept or introducing a new one. The current operator and team will provide a full handover. Two apartments above may also be available by separate negotiation.
