A HOTEL and pub chain, with a number of popular venues on the outskirts of Chester, is set to launch its latest venue.

Nelson Hotels & Inns is expecting to open its venue, this time on the Wirral, this winter.

From the group behind venues such as the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa at Pulford, near Chester, The Pheasant Inn at Burwardsley, The Fishpool Inn at Delamere, The Bear's Paw in Warmingham, The Manor at Greasby is set to become a charming gastropub that can accommodate up to 200 diners.

The site also boasts a luxurious wedding barn for celebrations of up to 80 guests. 

With the ambitious plans set to offer new life to the 17th century building and combine local heritage with contemporary hospitality, The Manor will offer quality dining for 160 diners and sought-after events space to residents of the Wirral and The North.  

A spokesman for the new venue said: "The restaurant menu will focus on a marriage of traditional British gastropub fayre and refined inspiration from European cuisine.

"The talented kitchen team, chosen to execute the group’s commitment to quality, will craft a daily-changing menu to incorporate the finest local and seasonal produce.

"From British gastropub staples to the Nelson family’s famous handcrafted pies and oven-fired artisan pizzas; there will be a dish for every taste on offer." 

In keeping with the group's dog-friendly offerings, four-legged friends will be as welcome in the new pub as their owners and catered for with their very own dog menu. 

Director of Nelson Hotels & Inns, Andrew Nelson said: “After many months of planning, we are thrilled to finally announce the latest venue in the Nelson Hotels & Inns collection.

"We are excited to share our tried and tested recipe of high-quality food, drink and service with Greasby and are really looking forward to welcoming guests from near and far to see what we have in store.”
