’Owd Nells Tavern at Guy's Thatched Hamlet officially reopens under new owners

The canal-side venue in St Michael’s Road, Bilsborrow is now open daily from 8am for breakfast, with food served throughout the day alongside a full drinks offering, including cask ales from Bowland Brewery.

Rooms are also open and welcoming bookings as the venue begins a new era under Bowland Inns & Hotels, who acquired the venue after it closed suddenly in February.

A spokesperson for new owners, Bowland Inns & Hotels, said: “ We are pleased to confirm that ’Owd Nells Tavern at the Thatched Hamlet is now officially open for business, following a successful soft launch earlier this week.

“While the team has only held the keys for a matter of days, work is already underway across the site.

“The initial focus is on bringing the bars and dining spaces back to life, with a wider programme of refurbishment planned for the bedrooms and pavilions later this year.

“This marks the beginning of a careful and considered restoration of The Thatched Hamlet, ensuring the character of the site is retained while steadily improving the overall offer.

“With Easter approaching and the canalside setting coming into its own, the venue is once again open for locals and visitors alike to enjoy.”
