THE new owners of a popular Wirral pub have a shared a sneak preview inside their latest development.
The Manor at Greasby is set to open this winter, with Nelson Hotels and Inns promising an "upscale gastropub-style restaurant and a luxurious wedding and events barn."
A spokesperson for Nelson said: "The Manor restaurant will offer great food whilst paying homage to the building's rich 17th century lineage.
"For their fifth venue, the Nelson Hotels and Inns team is working with an award-winning interior design agency, known for developing unique venues with leading hospitality brands, including Michelin-starred chef and entrepreneur Tom Kerridge.
"The inspiration behind The Manor’s design was to create a premium yet accessible dining concept and the designers were inspired by the historic character of the building when they set out to create a welcoming, unique and vibrant design which would modernise and elevate the grandeur of the original building.
"Expected to open its doors this winter, the relaxed restaurant interior will feature rich tones throughout the décor, alongside comfortable plush seating, low lighting and warm colours to create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere for family dining."
Like all Nelson Hotels and Inns venues, The Manor at Greasby will also be dog-friendly throughout.
The bar area will feature a worldly selection of wines and local ales on tap, with "opulent luxe" serving as the key inspiration for the space, according to the spokesperson.
In addition to the main space, the restaurant will boast a green room with bi-folding doors, flooding the space with light and opening out on warmer days.
The garden-inspired conservatory will offer an airy space for relaxed, semi-al fresco dining, bathed in natural light and "accented with delicate florals".
The Manor will also be home to a luxury wedding venue: The Barn at The Manor will be an "elegant and rustic space set within the grounds of the 17th century manor house", accommodating up to 80 seated guests and available for exclusive hire for wedding receptions and special events.
The spokesperson added: "The Barn’s design focuses on delivering an impressive space to serve as an idyllic backdrop for celebrations from day to evening.
"Historic character and contemporary sophistication combine to create a romantic, elegant space full of rustic charm, with exposed brickwork, parquet flooring, antique mirror finishing and an understated colour palette bringing the space to life.
"Framed with impressive timber and illuminated by beautiful pearl chandeliers, the key features will create a bright and spacious venue for intimate gatherings and receptions.
"Guests celebrating in the lovingly-restored barn will see their special occasions shine in this stunning space, which will enjoy plenty of natural light and offer an array of elegant venue dressing options.
"In addition to the impressive Barn itself, the picturesque courtyard at the forefront of the venue will provide a beautiful backdrop for capturing picture-perfect moments and acts as the ideal space for al-fresco drinks receptions and canapés"
