A former Largs public house that has been empty for years is set to be revived after new tenants were found. 

The Main Street Sheiling premises closed down in the mid-2010s and despite efforts to revive it, the site has been lying empty for a number of years. 

The landlords completed an overhaul in recent years ready for tenants to move in, and a new lease has finally been agreed. 

Property agent Bowman Rebecchi has confirmed a new tenant will soon take over the site, with more details to be announced in due course. 

A spokesperson said: "A fully licensed property with class 3 hot food consent within Largs Town Centre is set for new tenants after a new lease was agreed.

"The former Sheiling public house provides open-plan accommodation, with a new M&S Foodhall to be developed adjacent offering high footfall and visibility for operators.

"The subjects have a new double-fronted display window onto Main Street. The property has two male toilets, a single female toilet and ground floor stores with an integral staircase leading to the basement cellar, which contains an office and spirit store with a keg drop off Main Street.

"The unit also has the benefit of class 3 consent for use as a licensed venue and/or restaurant. A live premises licence is in place.

"Further details of the new tenancy are to follow."

In August 2021, the News reported that the Main Street bar was going to be reopened as 'The First and Last' amid exciting new plans which including a restaurant.

However, after the beginning of a major refurbishment of the property, which saw it pared back to its original Victorian decor, work stopped over the autumn and winter months.
