THE Chapel House in Burtonwood is now open for business following a full transformation of the public house.

The pub on Chapel Lane, which reopened on August 16 following weeks of renovation work, is under a new management team, who are determined to make it a home away from home for residents. 

Marcella, 43, and Gareth Hammond, 34, hope to give the pub a new lease of life.

Originally from Bolton, the couple, who have been married for more than 10 years, have already fallen in love with their new home.

Gareth said: “It has been fantastic. Burtonwood has a great community feel and everyone has made us feel welcome.

“We would like to thank the lovely people of Burtonwood for the kind and generous reception they have received in the opening weekend at the Chapel House.

"Hopefully they have enjoyed your visit and will join us again at every opportunity.

"We love the village already and have been made to feel extremely welcome and hope to do you proud for many years to come."

This is a new venture for the married couple who moved to Burtonwood earlier this year.
