Property Description
A refurbishment investment of approximately £500,000 is planned to transform Church Green into a stylish, premium local at the heart of Lymm’s social scene. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
Church Green has long been a well-known venue in the area and this planned investment will reposition it as a high quality, welcoming pub with broad appeal. The upgrades will create a refreshed environment designed to attract both existing regulars and a new wave of guests seeking great drinks, quality food and a vibrant atmosphere.
About the area
Located in the attractive village of Lymm, Church Green benefits from a strong residential catchment and a steady flow of visitors drawn to the area’s independent shops, cafés and canal-side walks. There are approximately 3,500 adults within walking distance of the pub, providing a solid base of potential regular trade.
The pub sits within a lively hospitality circuit, meaning there is healthy competition but also a proven appetite for eating and drinking out locally. The refurbishment will elevate Church Green’s offer, allowing it to stand out with a more premium look and feel, appealing to discerning locals, families and After-Work Socialisers looking for a relaxed but stylish setting.
Demographics
The area is characterised by a mix of established homeowners, young professionals and families. Many residents are economically active and socially engaged, supporting a strong midweek and weekend trade. The investment will enable Church Green to better meet the expectations of this audience, particularly those seeking quality surroundings, a strong drinks range and a compelling food offer.
