Landmark pub reopens with fresh new look

The Rising Sun in Wistaston has reopened following a six-figure investment.

The Middlewich Road venue, part of pub company and brewer Greene King, has undergone a top-to-bottom renovation and is officially welcoming customers back through its doors to experience the pub’s improved look and feel.

The works have carefully preserved the Rising Sun’s traditional charm whilst ensuring elevated experiences with a range of modern-day comforts.

Inside, the renovation has helped to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere with stylish new décor, lighting and furniture.

The bar has also been enhanced and the layout has been improved with additional seating, ensuring spacious zones for drinkers and diners alike.

First impressions count, and the Rising Sun’s garden has received investment to create the ultimate spot for an alfresco refreshment.

Highlights include the introduction of festoon lighting, fresh signage, upgraded outdoor furniture and increased covers to better cater to the busy summer season.

To celebrate the official relaunch, the Rising Sun invited James Hale, chairman of the Wistaston Jubilee Tennis Club, to cut the ribbon. The pub also donated to the club as part of its efforts to support local community initiatives.

Sandra Hudson (pictured) general manager at the Rising Sun, said: “The Rising Sun is a cherished local pub in the picturesque countryside here in Wistaston, and we’re proud to be a lively social hub for families, friends, dog walkers and more.

“The pub’s investment has helped to give this much-loved pub a new lease of life, and with fantastic improvements both inside and out, the team is ready to serve up brilliant experiences this summer and beyond. With a wonderful food and drinks menu and cosy spaces to relax, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
