Property details
A refurbishment investment of approximately £283,000 is planned to transform Horseshoe Croft into a premium local at the heart of the village.
The pub sits right in the centre of the village, placing it at the epicentre of community life. With 1,154 adults living within walking distance, there is a strong local catchment ready to be re-engaged. The area has a premium village feel and benefits from visitors travelling in from surrounding parts of Cheshire and north of Warrington.
There is only one direct competitor in the area, presenting a clear opportunity to establish this pub as the go-to destination locally. Currently, trade is predominantly wet-led, with a 64 per cent wet to 36 per cent dry split. The customer base is loyal but more mature, with limited younger customers and a reliance on weekend trade. The refurbishment will broaden the appeal, attracting families, casual diners and younger professionals looking for after-work socialising, while retaining existing regulars.
The scheme is designed to attract a broader and more diverse customer base. Post refurbishment, the pub will appeal to:
- Local villagers seeking a premium but relaxed place to drink and dine
- Families and casual diners looking for quality food in a welcoming setting
- Younger professionals for after-work drinks and social occasions
- Visitors from further afield are drawn by a revitalised village destination
The pub's trading area and facilities post-refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with a bar
- Separate dining room
- Snug area
- Separate games and sports zone
- Catering kitchen
- Function room
- HEINEKEN SmartDispense
- Two-bedroom private accommodation
- Pub garden
- 57-space car park
- 66 internal covers
- 68 external covers
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom.

A refurbishment investment of approximately £285,000 is planned to transform Horseshoe Croft into a premium local at the heart of the village.
The Horse Shoe is positioned in the centre of Croft, a beautiful and quiet village in north Cheshire. The pub has long been part of the community, but is currently tired and underperforming. The refurbishment will completely reposition it, creating a stylish yet welcoming space that reflects modern expectations while staying true to its village roots.
The finished offer will combine a quality food menu, a strong drink selection including cask ale, and a coffee offer to drive daytime trade. With a new games and sports zone and improved dining spaces, it will cater to everything from relaxed lunches to lively evenings.
