BUSINESS OVERVIEW Fabwick is a fast-scaling, high-margin hospitality and events venue located in Hackney Wick, one of East London’s most creatively driven and regeneration-led postcodes.

It represents a rare lifestyle and investment opportunity within an area recognised for its cultural activity, youthful demographic, and design-focused audience.
Fabwick incorporates a fully licensed cocktail bar, commercial kitchen, private terrace, indoor event space, and an unused upper floor, enabling multiple revenue streams from a single location.
With more than 500,000 invested into the premises, a distinctive brand identity, and substantial untapped potential on the upper level, Fabwick offers immediate profitability alongside medium-term scalability, including venue expansion, brand replication, or digital product development.

BRAND EQUITY & DIGITAL PRESENCE Fabwick has grown organically through word-of-mouth and social-led marketing, appealing to a trend-aware urban audience. The business benefits from a fully functional website with reservation capability, a strong Instagram presence featuring cocktails, events, décor, and community engagement, consistent five-star reviews across Google and Facebook, regular private hire bookings and DJ-led weekend events, and a proven track record of hosting influencer nights, brand activations, and private celebrations.
STAFFING & SYSTEMS The operation includes a kitchen brigade led by a head chef, an experienced bar team trained in cocktail service, and a front-of-house team supporting daily operations and events. Optional handover support is available from the owner to maintain branding and marketing continuity. All staff are expected to transfer under TUPE regulations.
The business operates with low owner involvement, providing a streamlined and scalable opportunity for a new owner.
GROWTH & EXPANSION STRATEGY While current profitability is strong, Fabwick is positioned for significant future growth under an expansion-focused operator. Opportunities include monetising the first floor through co-working space, supper club concepts, VIP lounge or event studio use, expanding ticketed nightlife and private hire offerings, forming brand and agency partnerships, introducing corporate and experiential packages, developing branded merchandise and products, launching pop-up bars, replicating the concept in other key urban locations, introducing daytime trade such as brunch or café co-working, and expanding digital revenue through e-commerce, ticketing, and delivery partnerships.
