This “popular” family pub that has had the same owner for nearly two decades is for sale. 

The White Post, in Stratton-on-the-Fosse, is in a roadside position on the A367 leading towards Westfield and Radstock. 

The two storey pub has belonged to the same family for nearly twenty years, and has space to cater for more than a hundred customers. 

The entrance leads into the main bar area, which has a fitted carpet around the main bar area, a stone-built open fire and seating for approximately 40 people, while the dining room can seat 24 and features beamed walls and wood effect flooring. 

Also on this level is the catering kitchen, which has a range of stainless equipment, preparation and wash up areas, a refrigerated beer cellar and bottle store, and a walk-in cold room. 

Upstairs, there is a living area offering flexible accommodation made up of two double bedrooms, a single room, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. 

Outside, there is a customer car park and a lawned garden with seating for 60, plus a patio area to the front with a shelter that can seat 40 people.

The White Post is held on a renewed full repairing lease from Wellington Pub Company, for a term of 25 years commencing January 2018. 

The property is being sold leasehold by estate agent Barons Property Centre for a guide price of £55,000, with yearly rent of £32,000 + VAT. 

The agent described the property as a “popular community freehouse, benefiting from a five star hygiene rating, serving real ale and traditional home cooked foods by the same family since January 2005.” 

The site behind the pub has recently been the subject of discussion, with proposed plans to build 270 homes on the “White Post site”.
