Significant Investment Planned!

Internally, a comprehensive refurbishment is planned, involving major structural changes to create a single-room operation with distinct lounge and bar areas. The new bar is being repositioned, and a modern catering kitchen and accessible toilet facilities are being added. The existing toilets will receive a complete makeover, and the fireplaces will be re-commissioned. The pub is set to come alive with live music on weekends, making this transformation truly extraordinary.

Externally, the refurbishment will significantly enhance the pub's curb appeal with a striking new signage and lighting scheme. To the rear, a delightful outdoor seating area is being created in the courtyard, complete with a covered pergola, bonded resin flooring, fixed bench seating, and enchanting festoon lighting. Additionally, the garden wall's height will be reduced to make the outdoor space visible to passing traffic, inviting curious patrons to explore the remarkable changes. The pub's facelift, both inside and out, promises to provide a fresh and inviting atmosphere for patrons seeking a classic premium village pub experience.

Excellent Location

The Railway Hotel is strategically situated in the heart of the historic Cheshire market town of Nantwich, just steps away from the bustling train station. This charming town hosts a plethora of festivals, drawing visitors from surrounding villages, with live music being a particular weekend attraction. The local demographic primarily consists of medium to mature adults (35+) with medium to high affluence, encompassing over 16,000 residents living within walking distance.
