Gary Usher has said that he’s ‘nervous’ about opening his first pub, which is set to open later this year. The chef behind restaurants like Kala and Hispi is in the process of buying The White Horse pub in Churton near Chester.
The country boozer has been empty for two years, after its previous owners said that they wouldn’t be reopening after lockdown. But Usher plans to have the pub reopened by around October, if all goes to plan and contracts are exchanged next month.
Speaking to Cheshire Live, he said: “It's how I started, and who doesn't love a pub. I'm nervous, though, because for the last 10 years we have been running restaurants. That's definitely our area of expertise at the moment in terms of the food and the service and we hope we can translate that to a pub.
