A NEW business will be taking over the former Slug and Lettuce unit in a Cheshire village.

The popular bar in Stockton Heath closed earlier this year and reopened as The Phoenix Bar and Grill.

Now, it will soon be taken over by Owen Williams, owner of the thriving Tank Bar and Live Lounge which is based in The Hive in Warrington town centre.

It will still be known as Phoenix but it will officially open on Friday, November 15.

Owen is planning to bring ‘the very best in live music’ to Stockton Heath.

“With a minimum of five artists every weekend, Phoenix will be your go to venue for live music and a sensational atmosphere,” Owen said.

The venue will offer bottomless brunches and afternoon tea and it will be introducing an ‘on-trend’ food menu.

There will also be cocktail trees, two for £15 cocktails all day, and two-for-one cocktails between 4pm and 6pm every day.

Two pool tables will be available at the site and live sporting events will be shown.
