Charterhouse Cafe

In spring 2025, the National Trust is relaunching Charterhouse, Coventry, as a flagship partnership project, working closely with the property's owner, the Historic Coventry Trust, and the John Muir Trust. The property has recently undergone a multi-million-pound refurbishment with funding from the National Lottery, and Bromwich Hardy is delighted to invite prospective tenants to tender for the leasehold opportunity of the Charterhouse café, which sits within the historic Charterhouse building but will be outside of the pay-barrier. The café space comes fully equipped with all kitchen and dining fitout. Charterhouse is brilliantly positioned for the National Trust to provide an incredible opportunity to connect the people of Coventry and beyond with the places it owns or cares for and create lasting experiences and relationships. A great food experience plays an important role in this. As such, the National Trust is looking to tender the cafe at Charterhouse (60 indoor covers and 30 outdoor), to a like-minded business partner with flair and imagination.
For further tender documents and to arrange a viewing, please contact Caine Gilchrist and Charlie Glover.

Charterhouse sits just outside the ring road surrounding Coventry city centre and is surrounded by residential housing. It's connected to the city centre via the wider Heritage Park, which will eventually include walking and cycling routes, creating a 2-mile circular leisure walk and sustainable travel route to the city centre and surrounding communities. Coventry's population is changing and is increasingly diverse. It is home to over 345,325 residents, an increase of 28,000 since 2011, making it the second-largest Local Authority in the West Midlands. Charterhouse is easily accessed by car and is highly visible with direct access from the A4114 London Rd, which is the main route into the city from London and South Warwickshire passing Jaguar Land Rover's HQ, which is a mile to the south. The entrance is just off Coventry's inner ring road, less than 10 minutes walking distance of the city centre and the city's mainline train station. Charterhouse also has excellent all-weather car parking for 130 cars with overflow capacity.
