The owners of Altrincham Market have unveiled their latest plans for a pub they have bought in Cheshire. The people behind the popular food halls will be taking over The Nags Head in Haughton just outside of Tarporley, which is set to reopen in the summer.
The Nags Head, which announced its closure on New Year’s Eve in December 2019, was threatened with being developed into two dwellings with five additional houses being built in the grounds. But it is now set to be reopened by the company who brought Altrincham Market, Mackie Mayor and the Picturedrome in Macclesfield to life.
Set to become a traditional British pub with a 'twist', it will play host to independent food operators Tender Cow, Honest Crust, Little Window and Picos Tacos. With plans to open by mid June this year, the pub will receive a makeover and once opened it will butcher its own meat and feature an outdoor pizza oven.

Speaking to Cheshire Live, Matthew Walsh who runs the Tender Cow, says the pub will focus on sourcing meat locally and providing 'quality' for their customers.
"The big focus is one animal butchery and that’s why we are working so closely with the farms. With that we get a much better focus on quality and consistency," Matthew said.
"We will work Hollowood farm, Pool Hall Farm, Wholly Cow and Hill Farm, which is only ten minutes away and their dairy products are fantastic.
"We are going for an education into what is available in the local area and buying animals means we know exactly where they come from and how they are cared for. We can have a much better focus on quality and we feel that’s the route the meat industry
