Shakespeare Hotel: Halifax town centre hotel and restaurant where forfeiture notices went up is now for sale

A Halifax town centre hotel and restaurant is on the market.

The Shakespeare, on Horton Street, is up for sale for £49,950, according to property website Rightmove.

As reported by the Courier, notices went up at the premises in January saying they were being seized on the authority of the landlord and the lease had been forfeited.

As well as a hotel, the site had been running as a Caribbean restaurant and last summer, set up an alfresco an al fresco Caribbean corner with jerk chicken and reggae music.

"We trust that a dedicated owner proprietor could take this on themselves, exploit the businesses full potential and derive maximum profits,” says the listing.

The sale is being made via agents Alan J Picken of Ilkley.
