POPULAR Cheshire pub has ceased trading leaving loyal customers disappointed

The Holly Bush Inn in Little Leigh, Northwich, Cheshire has ceased trading with regret, prompting a flood of support and heartfelt well-wishes from loyal customers.

The Grade II listing pub, which was previously a working farm has recently been refurbished to restore the traditional thatch roof, provide a larger restaurant area and 14 en-suite non-smoking bedrooms.

There was an abundance of things to see and do during a visit to The Holly Bush Inn, with local attractions surrounding the 2.04 hectares of land and its conservation area such as;

• Delamere Forest – Go Ape, walking, cafe, and cycling
• Weaver Hall Museum (formerly The Salt Museum)
• Anderton Boat Lift
• Chester Zoo
• Knowsley Safari Park
• Tatton Park
• Beeston Castle

The historic pub located in the Northwich countryside is one of the oldest pubs in the country, a privately owned public house since 1993, has officially said goodbye to its customers for good.

Sharing the news on social media, a spokesman said:

It is with sad news that The Hollybush has ceased trading. We would just like to thank all our customers that have supported us over the years, and we wish you all well.

The pub has been met with a flood of support from disappointed customers on The Holly Bush Inn Facebook page. Sharing sentiments on social media, customers responded with overwhelming statements:

So so sad, a pub with an amazing history. I really hope this somehow remains as an Inn and does not get developed.

Will forever be special to me and my family especially my Grandad who sadly passed away, I loved seeing his plaque on his seat in there. I know he will be up there feeling sad too

I’m so sorry about this, it was my favorite food place. They always looked after our group of over 20 very well every Christmas. Best wishes Martin. Xx

During the pandemic, numerous private ventures have either quickly turned to endure or battled to stay afloat with the hospitality sector being one of the hardest-hit sectors.

Many are sad to see the Grade II listing on the barn and pub go, and the reasons behind the decision to cease trading are not yet known.
