Lucky Onion Pub Company, run by husband and wife team Georgie and Sam Pearman, is planning to convert a Regency building in Cheltenham into a boutique hotel and restaurant, after submitting planning permission to the local council back in September.
The company, who currently run the Tavern in Cheltenham and The Wheasheaf in Northleach , have today re-opened The Chequers in Churchill.
They will now start work with business partner Julian Dunkerton, chief executive of Superdry, to transform the building into two bars, a restaurant, wine room, private dining rooms, and a games room. An orangery would be built to the rear of the building, with a bar and dining space for eating out in the summer, along with a venue for large parties and weddings. Outside, the forecourt overlooking Imperial Square would be turned into a landscaped drinking and dining area.
