Spon End Pub Near Station | Kitchen Residency | 240 SQFT

The pub itself has trading history stretching back over a century. The current landlord took over in 2022 and invested in a full refurbishment of the ground floor including the kitchen. The combi oven and extraction system are less than three years old. The previous food partner ran a Thai street food menu that was popular on the platforms but left Coventry for personal reasons in mid-2025. The fixed rent at £750 all-in is competitive for a kitchen of this spec. The landlord has kept utilities included because the pub's metering setup makes it impractical to separate — a genuine saving of £250-350/mo based on comparable venues. Spon Street's medieval quarter is a three-minute walk. On nights when the Assembly Festival Gardens programme runs events — which is most weekends from May through September — the overspill reaches this far. The landlord reports a 30% uplift in wet sales during festival weekends, and currently has no food to sell to that crowd.
