Village pub unveils stunning transformation after 'out there' name change
The new owners of historic village pub The Red Lion caused something of a stir when they decided to rename it as The Space Invader. But locals have been won over on the "out there" name now they've seen the spectacular transformation of the old pub which has just been unveiled.
However it appears the critics have been silenced with the new look for the pub - having now seen the impressive renovation of the building, which sits right next to the village church. The village is famous for its annual Goostrey growing competition, as well as its famous former footballer residents including Manchester City and England star Raheem Sterling and Man United's Cristiano Ronaldo.
They say they now hope to restore lost connections to the village and community, which in the 18th century sold beer to residents and passing travellers and was the first to host the historic Goostrey Gooseberry Show. The decor embraces old-time pictures from the Goostrey Parish Archive of events and residents from the past, as well as images of Jodrell Bank from its early beginnings.
The menu includes a range of pub classics like fish and chips, burgers and lamb hot pot, as well as the likes of Morroccan lamb tagine, Thai tofu peanut curry and cod, squid, monkfish and king prawn thermidor. There will also be a lunch menu that includes their twist on "old school toasties".
