THE company behind a number of popular venues near Chester has given a sneak peek behind the scenes at its latest restaurant set to open soon.

Nelson Hotels & Inns, the group behind much loved venues including Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa and The Fishpool Inn, near Delamere Forest, shared a look inside their latest development: The Manor at Greasby, Wirral.

It is set to open this winter, offering an upscale gastropub-style restaurant and a luxurious wedding and events barn.

Located in the heart of Greasby, The Manor restaurant will offer great food whilst paying homage to the building's rich 17th century lineage.

For their fifth venue, the Nelson Hotels & Inns team is working with an award-winning interior design agency, known for developing unique venues with leading hospitality brands including Michelin-starred chef and entrepreneur Tom Kerridge.

The inspiration behind The Manor’s design was to create a premium yet accessible dining concept and the designers were inspired by the historic character of the building when they set out to create a welcoming, unique and vibrant design which would modernise and elevate the grandeur of the original building.

In addition to the main space, the restaurant will boast a beautiful green room with bi-folding doors, flooding the space with light and opening out on warmer days.

The garden-inspired conservatory will offer the perfect, airy space for relaxed, semi-al fresco dining, bathed in natural light and accented with delicate florals.

The Manor will also be home to a luxury wedding venue: The Barn at The Manor will be an elegant and rustic space set within the grounds of the 17th century manor house, accommodating up to 80 seated guests and available for exclusive hire for wedding receptions and special events.
