About the Pub The Friendly Spirit is a well-established community pub situated in the charming village of Cannington, Somerset. The pub is enjoyed by locals for the strong food offer and due to the popular surroundings the letting accommodation is frequently well let by visitors. Internally the trading area has been well-maintained and is in good decorative order. The pub has two bar areas; the sports bar which is ideal for watching televised sport, and the lounge bar is suited to those wanting to relax and enjoy a quiet drink, both accommodating 30 covers each. The conservatory offers a further 30 covers and can also be used as a function room. Another fantastic feature of the property is the 10 letting rooms, eight of which are en-suite, and all are in good order.

To the front of the property is a patio area with a few tables and chairs to accommodate up to 12 covers. Across the pub’s driveway is a lovely, well-maintained beer garden, with a fantastic children’s play area. A good size car park is set back from the garden and pub, with space for up to 25 vehicles.

I am now seeking a publican or couple that wish to engage with the local community but also can continue the quality home cooked food, so catering experience is essential.
