Self-Employed Manager

The Three Tuns is an extremely popular community pub situated in the heart of picturesque village of St Keverne on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Nestled in the heart of this busy and bustling village, the pub has a history of a strong food offering and boutique style letting rooms as a great base for locals and holiday makers to enjoy rural and coastal Cornwall.

Area:

Located in The Square, The Three Tuns is one of two pubs located in the village. The Three Tuns is a traditional Cornish community village pub (with a premium feel) which has benefited from fresh investment, well looked after, and has grown an exceptional reputation over the last few years. It enjoys significant footfall from spring right the way through to autumn months and well supported by locals in winter.

Its prime location makes it a great stopping-off point or place to stay for a drink or something to eat. It offers guests a creative and welcoming internal design, with the exterior redecorated in 2024. The pub offers different areas for drinking, dining, pub games and entertainment, giving customers great reasons to visit, whether it is a family meal, drinks with friends, live entertainment, or a lunchtime snack.

For those looking for a Cornish escape, the pub has five exceptional letting rooms providing outstanding design and comfort, decorated with charming country touches and cosy home comforts for a relaxing stay. It is a perfect base to explore the Cornish countryside and coast. During summer months, hidden in the rear garden are six luxury Bell Tents for those guests looking for a unique outdoor experience in a glorious West Country setting. A true delight offering panoramic views of the local countryside.

An all-day dining experience, the kitchen can cater for up to seventy covers throughout. The pub has an excellent local reputation for its seasonal menu and range of local and craft drinks

Unsurprisingly, the pub becomes increasingly busy during the summer months, and visitors will often stop for a bite to eat or a drink. You will capitalise on a pub that trades well throughout the year.

Internally, you will find lots of character in this traditional Cornish style pub.

The Three Tuns has been at the heart of the local community for many years. The business is unspoilt by time. You will need to embrace the style and create the atmosphere through astute zoning of the sections to create defined spaces for your guests.

From dining to entertainment, beer to bingo, this pub caters to the needs of its community. You can make it excel as the true hub of the area.
