A popular village pub near Nantwich is set to re-open this summer, bosses have confirmed.
The Olde Barbridge Inn, in Barbridge, was closed last September when the previous landlord James Perrins left after more than a decade.
The pub is a popular venue for boaters as it sits next to the Shropshire Union Canal, as well as villagers and other visitors.
Now owners Punch Pubs & Co have confirmed “exciting plans” for the venue which they say they will open again in the summer.
A licence application has been submitted to Cheshire East Council to transfer the licence back into the company’s name.
A spokesperson for Punch Pubs & Co told Nantwich News: “The Olde Barbridge Inn remains a vital part of our portfolio, and we know its importance in the community.
“For us to invest and reopen the pub as soon as possible, we need to transfer the premises license into Punch’s name, and we are in the process of doing this.
“We have exciting plans for the future and our aim is to re-open in time to welcome guests back through the doors this summer.
“We look forward to sharing more detail with the community about their local pub in the near future.”
