Revamped pub’s stunning new look
A PUB has reopened after a stunning full renovation.
The Cock and Magpie, on Cockhall Lane, Whitworth has received a complete transformation from Robinsons Brewery.
The pub is most popular with walkers who ramble in the hills behind the pub, and with water-sports enthusiasts who use the nearby Cowm reservoir for sailing and water skiing - but a nine-week refurbishment was required to restore the pub back to its glory days.
Both inside and out have now been transformed, creating the perfect spaces for a relaxing pint and bite to eat, watching sport with friends, or enjoying the views from the garden terrace with a coffee.
Tony Massey, Business Development Manager at Robinsons, said: “Fundamentally we kept the layout of the pub in its original format, the vault and a lounge remain with the bar in the middle serving both sides. We introduced a new universally accessible toilet by revising the circulation routes and formed a new more efficient route for food to be carried through from the kitchen to the lounge side.
“We removed all the textured coatings from the walls in the lounge side which revealed the original stonework underneath, allowing us to create a more traditional country feel.”
The vision was to design a countrified and timeless pub, which would feel comfortable and inviting for all ages.
There is now an enhanced games room with darts and pool, comfy snug areas with new seating, plus a pastel green and an oak colour scheme to partner with the rural surroundings.
