We have just been to the friendly spirit and I have to say the food was out of this world ! There is so much to choose from, how people on here can say different is beyond me !!! They have a lunch menu with a daily specials board, main and dessert £6.95 and an evening menu and specials board... More

This is difficult for me as I live in the village. However after my last visit I feel I need say something. This time last year had improved greatly, but in the last 6 months has deteriorated. Being the best located in the village should have a lot to offer. We like the idea of being able to have a... More

Good value two meals for £10 before 7:00pm. Food well cooked and good service and resturaunt very clean and tidy. The Friendly Spirit has decent decor and overall a nice village pub with basic but good quality food.

Service was awful, food was average and over priced, staff were unaccommodating and in one case was positively acidic. A real shame as the last time we visited family in Cannington and went for a meal here together we had high hopes for this being the new local eatery, with the village losing the good restaurant at the king's head...

Had an early dinner here as we were staying nearby. The welcome and the service left a lot to be desired. It was poor value for money too. Didn't seem particularly clean and dread to think of the poor souls staying in the place. Wont be returning, even for a drink.

Firstly we didn't stay here, but we were staying in the area, after a recommendation we thought we would try this pub for dinner one night.. Wish we hadn't! Arrived early for drinks in the garden, barmaid was friendly, unfortunately everything went downhill from there! After we were seated at our table we were obviously forgotten about, after waiting a... More

Three of us had a good meal early on a Saturday night. Local cask beers available. Although the menu is simple there were several items on the daily board plus they will try and adapt for you. Desserts are home made and not the run of the mill bought in ones. Treacle tart that is as mother made! Service was... More

Recently stayed at the Friendly Spirit ( 11th-12th Sept. 2011 ) for two nights B&B. The new managers were obviously still finding their feet but overall staff were very polite / informative and friendly. Room was clean and spacious with adequate furnishings and a very comfy bed. T.V. was no use which I presume is down to the local signal... More

We stopped going to the Friendly Spirit as a change in ownership a few years ago meant the food and service went down hill rapidly. However it now has new owners again and they are just in their 2nd week at the time of writing this review. The food and service tonight was good. Everything was freshly cooked. It was... More
