Description
The Regent is a high-energy, modern pub in a prime Weston-super-Mare location, just steps from the beach and town centre. Fresh from a £323,000 refurbishment, this former Yates’s has been transformed into a versatile, day-to-night venue with stylish seating, private booths, and built-in entertainment zones — including a DJ booth and live music space.
The site is already a go-to destination for live sport, with multiple HD screens showing everything from football and rugby to F1 and boxing. Alongside sport, the pub thrives on its party-led atmosphere, with themed nights, DJs, and community events that turn casual drinks into lively evenings.
The all-day food offer and popular drinks menu — from 2-for-1 cocktails and pitchers to cask ales and fruit-flavoured vodkas — appeal to a wide customer base. For the right operator, this is an opportunity to run a pub in Weston-super-Mare that thrives on energy, big weekends, and community buzz, with plenty of scope to grow both food and event trade.
