Part of the former Nude Dunes restaurant is being advertised for rent as “a rare opportunity to operate from a highly visible and much-loved location” with a guide price of £20,000 per year.
The letting being marketed by Le Rossignol Estates comprises use of the existing kitchen, serving hatch and an external seating area.
Another twist in a protracted saga
It marks another twist in the protracted saga over how the building will be used, following multiple failed attempts by its owner in recent years to secure permission to turn it into self-catering tourist accommodation.
The La Pulente site was once briefly home to Nude Dunes, which went bust in November 2023 just months after opening its doors.
The property description on the Le Rossignol Estates website outlines “a rare opportunity to operate from a highly visible and much-loved location at the south end of St Ouen’s Bay”.
“The space is ideally suited to a simple, well-executed grab-and-go concept, with a focus on quality, speed of service, and a strong, well-presented brand offering,” it states.
“The location benefits from strong year-round passing trade”
“It will particularly appeal to operators who understand the value of a clean, efficient setup and a consistent, high-quality product in a destination location.
“The location benefits from strong year-round passing trade, with particularly high levels of activity during the summer months.”
It notes that there is “no requirement for the tenant to provide or manage customer toilet facilities”.
“A portaloo will be in place on site whilst the owner continues to work with Planning, the Parish, and Jersey Property Holdings towards a more permanent long-term solution,” the property description continued.
“The existing kitchen infrastructure is available for use, with any ingoing contribution to be agreed depending on the proposed operation and specific equipment requirements.”
It added that: “This represents an excellent opportunity for an independent operator or established brand seeking a standout coastal location, with the ability to build strong local recognition and repeat trade.”
