New Brasserie Joins Thriving Marina Community

Berkeley at Royal Clarence Marina, Gosport

Arriving in the picturesque and bustling Royal Clarence Marina you get a real sense that this already thriving business community is becoming a must visit destination for the intrepid explorers of The Solent.

The Georgian architecture and rich heritage is impressive but it is the recent launch of new commercial space right along the waterfront in The Chandlers and The Malthouse that is breathing new life into this former Royal Navy victualling yard.  

The likes of retailers, cafés and art galleries are set to do well with busy trade from the luxury apartments and the office based businesses. And a new restaurant, Reds Brasserie, is opening very soon. To be run by a head chef returning to the area after having entertained diners in London’s Chelsea, Red’s Brasserie will accompany the established G’s Restaurant and Wine Bar providing the perfect vantage point for enjoying the marina lifestyle.

As this marina is the deepest on the South Coast, it is no surprise to find a number of businesses allied to the yachting and boating world with offices in Cooperage Green and the Bakery and Granary as well as a Multi Hull Boat Show held here in the marina each June. But it is the wonderful mix of to see the creative industries thriving alongside the sea; artists’ studios, galleries, upholsterers and a hair salon providing a practical and interesting mooring to visitors from near and far.

  
One of the most prestigious, and earliest, commercial tenants is Clipper Ventures who are renowned for their adrenalin filled yachting races, corporate and training events. Their magnificent boats dominate the Waterfront and it is from their offices in the Granary that their Round the World Races are run.  

Pippa Bugby, Berkeley Southern sales & marketing director, comments, “In Royal Clarence Marina there is a mix of entrepreneurial businesses that are bringing prosperity to Gosport and these new waterfront commercial units are in a spectacular location.” For further information on commercial opportunities, please call Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell on 023 9237 7800.
