The Rascal and Radical

A much-loved former Cheshire chocolate shop is to become a new pub restaurant.

The Old Fire Station Chocolate Shop premises on Tarporley High Street, which was the village fire station before a popular chocolatier business for 28 years, is currently being turned into the latest of Cheshire Pub Co's 'unique' venues.

The pub will be called The Rascal and Radical and is set to launch in the spring. Cheshire Pub Co, which owns other highly acclaimed pubs in the county including The Frozen Mop at Mobberley and The Churchill Tree at Alderley Park, says its venues each "have their own sense of style and charm".
