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.

What we're planning & why
Refurbishment details
This is a full internal and external transformation of Church Green, backed by an investment of over £500,000, designed to reposition the pub as a premium food-led destination with strong all-day appeal.
What's happening?
The refurbishment will completely reimagine the pub, including a new extension that increases capacity and introduces a flexible function space, helping unlock new revenue streams. Internally, the layout will be opened up to create a more visible and inviting bar area, alongside a dedicated dining space that supports a high-quality food offer.
A refitted commercial kitchen will enable the delivery of a strong, consistent menu, positioning the pub as the go-to place in Lymm for great food. Externally, the pub garden will be fully revamped, complemented by a covered patio area to maximise year-round trading and enhance the customer experience.
These improvements will transform the pub into a versatile venue capable of catering for everyday dining, special occasions, and private functions, giving the incoming operator multiple opportunities to drive trade.
Why invest?
This level of investment will completely reposition Church Green within the local market, turning a closed site into a thriving, high-quality destination pub. With a forecast turnover of £24.6k per week, the refurbishment is designed to significantly increase both footfall and dwell time by appealing to a broader audience and encouraging repeat visits.
