The Church Inn on 78 Newton Road in Lowton, Warrington re-opened last Friday 12th July following a major investment of £265,000. The pub is part of Proper Pubs – the award-winning community operator division of Admiral Taverns – which has more than 200 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales and marks the sixth site under its new mid-market offering.
The pub has been transformed both internally and externally to ensure it appeals to all the community. Inside, The Church Inn features a brand-new bar as well as new furniture, flooring, fixtures and fittings to modernise the pub and elevate the overall look and feel. Outside, it has been completely repainted and now hosts updated lighting and signage to welcome customers. In addition, it has been fitted with a brand-new garden to the rear of the pub, for visitors to use during the warmer months.
To celebrate the reopening, customers were treated to a complimentary glass of prosecco followed by an evening of entertainment from local soul singer, T Kay.
Operators of The Church Inn, Esther Ryan, said: “Opening night was thoroughly enjoyable for everyone and the feedback we’ve already received from local residents has been fantastic! It was wonderful to welcome all our customers, old and new, into the newly renovated pub and to show off its brand-new look.
We can’t wait to continue showing the local community everything we have to offer at The Church Inn and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in due course.”
The Church Inn offers a wide range of drinks including premium draught beers, ciders, cask ales, an extensive cocktail menu and wine list. Throughout the week, the pub will run various drinks promotions including after work cocktail deals where customers can buy two cocktails for £12 between 5-7pm Monday-Friday, Fizz Fridays offering a bottle of fizz for £12, and Wine Wednesdays where customers can get £2 off a bottle. In addition, it will host a coffee menu and an array of sweet and savoury bar snacks such as pretzels, popcorn and something sweet to nibble on whilst enjoying time with friends and family.
The Church Inn also offers a busy schedule of entertainment for the community to enjoy. This includes hosting a local darts team, live music evenings at the weekends and moving forward the operators are excited to organise weekly quiz nights and regular coffee mornings. As passionate community-minded individuals, Esther and Jason will also host several fundraising days for causes close to their hearts such as the local kids’ club, charities dedicated to supporting those affected by Multiple Sclerosis and MacMillan Cancer.
Matthew Gurney, Operations Director for Proper Pubs, said: “The transformation at The Church Inn has been fantastic to watch and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the entire to team who helped bring this to life.
On behalf of everyone at Proper Pubs, we wish Esther and Ryan the very best in cementing The Church Inn at the heart of the local community.”
