Historic pub in Cheshire's "prettiest village" to become destination foodie inn

An historic 17th century coaching inn in Cheshire's "most picturesque village" is to get a major transformation to become a new destination foodie pub. The Cock o' Budworth is a local landmark in the village of Great Budworth - known as a village so pretty and frozen in time that film crews flock there for period dramas.

Now the pub's owners Holt's Brewery have announced a new parternship with the burgeoning Cheshire Pub Co. to create a new future for the old pub. Cheshire Pub Co are the team behind the recent transformation of the former Red Lion to become The Space Invader in Goostrey and also own the acclaimed Churchill Tree pub in Nether Alderley.

The partnership comes after Holt’s Brewery reached out for an independent associate to lead a new beginning for the 17th century coaching inn. They say they hope the partnership will now bring a "unique, independent touch to its operation as a local, and destination, drinking and dining spot".
