Refurb Update!

We’re now into week three of the project, well and truly making a mess and getting dirty in the process. You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs after all!

Whilst it will be next year we get to enjoy the garden properly when the good weather returns, we’re already super excited for this.

Bookings are now open for our reopening from 5pm on the 9th of November, and of course when our festive menu goes live 25th November.

This is your last chance to visit before our refurbishment begins! We’re open as usual this weekend and close after service on Sunday 27th, so come and see us and raise a glass to the Hesketh, old and new!

We reopen on Monday 9th November, so we’ve a lot to do in a short space of time. Reworking the outside spaces, creating a large dining terrace and gardens and a family area.

Inside, we’re refreshing and adding to our Georgian features, and we’ll be serving food all day. We want to keep everything that makes the Hesketh special while making the very most of our wonderful pub. Ten bedrooms will follow in a second phase next year.

We’re also growing our team, recruiting for all departments. We’re particularly keen to meet experienced managers and chefs, including a roaming head chef to support our opening before moving on to other projects at our sister pubs.

Come and meet us at our recruitment evening. Rufford Village Hall, Wednesday 7th October, 4.30pm to 6.30pm
