Real ale discount scheme

An early 1900 Commercial Hotel virtually derelict before a tasteful renovation in 2012 retaining and restoring many original features, including tiles, panelling, and windows. The retro decor is typical of this small local pub chain. Serves a varying range of real ales and cider on handpumps. Cosy real coal fires in winter and two unobtrusive televisions. Customer loyalty cards in operation. Wednesday cask critics night offers discount on real ale. Serves good home made pub food at a reasonable price.

Asset of Community Value

Built 1904 (dated of 1904 at 2nd floor) in Edwardian Baroque style of brick and buff terracotta by Heaton, Ralph and Heaton for Walkers of Warrington. Inner door with 'Raven Hotel' Edwardian etched panel in screen. Down the left hand side wall is a dado of glazed pale green wall tiling with Art Nouveau foliation which continues up the open Jacobian style staircase. Well opened-up interior still with some pieces of wall with tiled dados. In the area on the rear right opened up to the passageway is some old (original?) fixed seating re-upholstered and what could be an original Edwardian tiled, wood surround and cast-iron fireplace with a cupboard in the mantelpiece. The bar on the right is good - the listed description (1999) states 'mahogany panelled bar' and the bar back fitting has drawers and cupboards so may also be the original one? Some remains of screens survive. There is a large modern room at the rear.
