The White Horse Pub

A crowdfunding scheme set up by the founder of Elite Bistros for the recently purchased White Horse pub in Churton has raised more than £140,000 in less than a day.

Gary Usher, the chef and restaurateur behind Chester's Sticky Walnut and Heswall's Burnt Truffle bistros, launched the Kickstarter at 9pm on Tuesday evening (November 1) with hopes to raise £200,000 to refurbish The White Horse, which was purchased last month.

On Wednesday, the scheme had 793 backers contributing £142,628, with a further five days left before its deadline.
