Robinson’s pub, The Horse Shoe in Coppenhall, is the best in show following the Stockport based brewery’s significant joint investment with the pub’s tenants, Les Rowland and Michelle Russell.
Transformed in just four weeks, the latest investment comes in a year which has produced some of Robinsons’ most exciting refurbishments: the in-house design team have taken what was once a tired, well used pub and created a quirky, welcoming environment for customers both old and new.
Les Rowland, tenant of The Horse Shoe said:
“The old pub was really dated. We had our loyal group of regulars who came in but it wasn’t exactly somewhere you would bring your partner or friend for a quiet drink. We wanted to make the pub more friendly not only to our regulars but to new customers too!”
Neil Robinson-Stanier, Director for Robinsons Brewery said:
“The design team were keen to ensure that the right mood and feel were achieved for the site. We decided on a rich colour palette of greens and accompanying neutral tones to complement the striking feature wallpapers. The atmospheric lighting and furniture was chosen to create an industrial feel with a ‘beer shrine’ twist.”
With an uplift across all trading areas, the biggest improvement is the bar area. With a new bar counter and rough sawn box style back fitment, customers will now be able to view the premium spirits range that The Horse Shoe offers alongside 5 new hand pulls offering a rotating selection of award winning cask ales.
Around the pub, you will find tasteful features such as vintage saddles, leather strap book shelves, old bottles, books and local historical photographs of the area. A new wood burning stove and the addition of a feature fireplace maintain a striking focal point.
“It’s given the pub a completely different atmosphere” said Les. “We’ve had nothing but positive feedback from all our regulars and we are seeing couples and new groups of people coming in to check it out! It’s been great for business so far!”
“The change is remarkable. The Horse Shoe which may have been a pub that you once walked past, now attracts your attention and invites you in!” said Neil. “The new look Horse Shoe is sure to continue to be the centre of attention in the years to come!”
