PICTURES have been shared showing inside a gutted Cheshire pub as work begins to transform it into a Miller & Carter steakhouse.
The team behind the conversion have set up a new Facebook page to share updates on the new restaurant, which will breathe life back into the former Salt Cellar pub.
Initially aiming for an April opening, the steakhouse is now due to open 'in early September' at the sire in Middlewich.
Posting on Facebook, a Miller & Carter spokesperson said: "Welcome to our new page, make sure to give us a follow to follow our journey of our new restaurant.
"We will be opening early September, so make sure to keep an eye on our page over the next eight weeks as we will be sharing updates, introducing the team and giving you some sneak peeks of what's to come for Miller and Carter Middlewich."
Refurbishment work at the Holmes Chapel Road site started around June 26.
The works include:
- The erection of a new entrance porch
- The provision of a Jumbrella
- New fences, both decorative and utility
- Provision of a bull feature statue
- Installation of external cold room in the service yard
- Removal of the timber pergola in front of the building
- Demolition of existing porch and semi-circular bar window
- Removal of two fireplaces and the chimney stacks above
- Replacement of two windows with full height glazing
- Complete internal refurbishment to reflect the Miller & Carter brand characteristics and requirements including completely new bar servery, and refit of outdated toilets
