The Abbey Tap Stratford

Superbly located on The Broadway in the heart of Stratford this iconic venue is well known as the place to watch live sports, socialise and party! A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire the site on a new 5-year Tenancy Agreement.

Internally you will find a multi-zoned ground floor open plan trade area which is perfect for creating both a high energy night-time entertainment vibe yet also a lower key daytime environment great for getting a drink and bite to eat with friends and socialising throughout the day. An 8meter long bar runs across the rear of the venue perfect for busy football fan days. The open plan layout comfortably accommodates circa 100 seated covers across its mix of fixed booths, banquets, high stools, and bar tables with room for dancing and socialising, total capacity is circa 250 depending on layout adopted. The premises enjoy the opportunity of an 10am till midnight licence across the week which extends to 1am on Wednesday and to 2am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This is a very busy ‘fan pub’ on West Ham home match days and attracts a crowd pre and post other large events at The London Stadium, otherwise current weekly activity is focused on Sports TV events, with entertainment focused on a weekly Karaoke and DJ along with the occasional themed event and promotional evenings. A fully fitted trade kitchen not only serves the on-site dining trade but also successfully hosts a “Dark Kitchen” operation, our agreement allows the successful operator the same flexibility should they wish.
