Robinsons Brewery has completed £1.25m worth of investment in one month, refurbishing three of its tenanted Cheshire properties.

There are new looks for The Hawk Inn, in Haslington, The Unicorn, in Congleton, and The Swan and Chequers, in Sandbach.

The significant investments, each very different, showcase the brewery’s commitment to developing and enhancing its diverse 250-strong pub estate. 

The investment sees the re-opening of a previously closed business, generating additional jobs within the region. Robinsons is also welcoming two new business partners to operate two of the restored pubs. And it is celebrating more than 30 years of partnership with its business partner at The Unicorn.

This year, the Stockport brewer has invested the highest amount of capital expenditure across its pub estate, with 17 investment projects completed in 2023 so far.

“The investments we are making across our pub estate reflects dedication to our business partners and the communities they serve,” said William Robinson, managing director (pub division).

“These recent investments and the innovation we are driving in our cask and keg beer range demonstrate our commitment to delivering a great experience for consumers, in unique and welcoming surroundings.”

The Hawk Inn has benefited from a delicate restoration of a listed building. The well-loved Unicorn, in Congleton, was refreshed for its community and their interest in live sport. The Swan and Chequers brings a new dimension to Sandbach , being a transformed town centre pub.
