Cheshire Cat Pubs & Bars, the pub company headed by trade veterans Tim Bird and Mary McLaughlin, has opened its fourth site as it looks to build an estate of 10.
Three Greyhounds Inn in the area of Allostock near Holmes Chapel has become the group’s fourth pub and recently reopened after a major refurbishment.
The site fits in with the company’s strategy of looking for “village gems” to restore.
Bord told M&C Report last year: “We’ve always said we would like to build a small pub company of probably up to 10 pubs.”
It’s other pubs are the Red Lion in Weymouth, Dorset; the Bull’s Head in Mobberley, Cheshire; and the Cholmondeley Arms near Malpas in Cheshire, a nineteenth century building that was previously a school.
Bird was part of the management team at Eldridge Pope, where he helped developed Que Pasa, and Morrells of Oxford, and was more recently managing director of Brunning and Price and the Freehouse Pub Company.
McLaughlin was formerly managing director of Spanish restaurant chain La Tasca and also worked for pub companies Greenalls and Devenish.
