A well known Connah’s Quay pub is set to reopen in May according to its new owner. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The Halfway House on Church Street was sold at auction on Tuesday. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The pub closed in 2018 and was put on the market at the time for £600,000. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The pub sold for around £50,000 more than the guide price of £185,000. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

In a post on Facebook, new owner Shaun Ketley said: ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“The pub will be re-opening “hopefully beginning of May 2020.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It will be kept as a pub and eating house along with some live entertainment. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

This is a family run pub which is nothing to do with breweries we are a free house.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

A petition to save the pub was launched in January by Connah’s Quay Councillor Andy Dunbobbin, it gained over 500 signatures. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Cllr Dunbobbin said today: “I am pleased to hear of the news surrounding the purchase of the Halfway House in Connahs Quay. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It is positive outcome for the 500+ people who signed the petition setup only last month.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
