Refurbishment begins as couple take over pub where they had their first date

The Broken Cross in Rudheath has closed as work gets underway on a major refurbishment.

It comes as husband and wife Rob and Sammi Garland take the reigns, having worked at the pub for six years under the previous owners.

“I’ve lived in Northwich since 2009 and Rob’s lived here all his life. He actually had his 21st birthday in the Cross,” said Sammi.

“We also had our first date there so it means so much more to us than just a pub.”

“The new look is going to be amazing. Becoming more modern yet keeping the original character of the Cross.

“You will be glad to hear that it’s not changing its name it’s still staying as The Broken Cross. This was really important to us as it’s one of the few pub in the area that’s never had its name changed.”

Inside, a ‘sports zone’ will be created featuring a pool table and darts board, with new ‘strategically placed’ TVs showing Sky and TNT Sports being installed around the pub.

The refurbishment is expected to take four or five weeks, with hopes of reopening in early October.
