The Hesketh Arms in Churchtown, Southport reopens its doors and launches a new menu after undergoing an extensive refurbishment.
The new look pays homage to the traditional roots and picturesque location of the Hesketh Arms, whilst also breathing in new life into the pub giving it a fresh, contemporary feel.
The refurbishment includes a refreshed beer garden and elegantly styled interiors making the pub the perfect place for getting together with friends and family for a drink.
Along with a new appearance, the Hesketh Arms is also offering a revamped menu which boasts a selection of popular dishes including oven-baked Chicken Forestiere, seared fillets of Seabass served with King Prawns, and a range of Signature Skewers straight from the chargrill.
And, for those guests craving country pub classics, you can look forward to sensational Steaks, traditional Fish & Chips, and the pub’s hearty Home-Baked Pie of the Day.
The pub has been offering a warm welcome since the 18th century. Overlooking the grounds of the 12th century Meols Hall, it is also close to the fascinating Botanic Gardens.
To this day, the pub proudly serves as the heart of village life for the local community and continues to welcome furry friends, making it the perfect pit-stop for dog owners, before, during, or after a leisurely country walk.
Dave Langshaw, General Manager, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome both our regulars and first-time guests to experience the Hesketh Arms new, refreshed look.
“Whether you’re seeking a picturesque setting to enjoy high-quality dining or a cosy spot by the fire to enjoy a drink, our pub has it all.”
The Hesketh Arms has been serving local families since 1704.
It was originally built as four fisherman’s cottages and was previously known as ‘The Black Bull’, operated in its early years by WD ‘Duke’ Sutton, the founder of Southport.
