A WIRRAL pub is set to unveil its new look and menu after a £190,000 investment by pub operator Punch.

The Black Horse in Lower Heswall will reopen on October 20 and will be backed by publicans Christina and Andrew Powell who love good old-fashioned hospitality.

The couple also run The Ferry in Wallasey which has been named the number one pub for food in the area.

Christina said: “The pub is going to be much fresher and brighter and will feel very cosy.

"One thing that we are going to introduce from our other pub is our fun ‘Scouse Burger’ menu where each burger is named after famous Liverpudlian celebrities.

"We have the Cilla Black ‘Surprise Surprise Veggie Burger, The Beatles ‘Need a Little Help from my Friends Burger’ and the Ken Dodd, ‘Something to tickle your fancy burger’ to name a few.

"As well as burgers, we will be introducing a traditional pub menu, all home-made and cooked by Andrew.”

Regular entertainment will include live music and quiz nights.

Publican Development and Training manager of Punch, Alex Felix-Thomas, said: “The Black Horse Hotel is a great community pub in a village setting.

"Christina and Andrew are enthusiastic publicans who know what it takes to keep their customers happy.

"We are delighted to have been able to enhance the pub’s facilities and I’m looking forward to supporting the team going forward.”
