The pub company which bought the Ring O’Bells three years ago has said work is set to get under way shortly on its refurbishment.
Stange & Co bought the historic public house from Greene King in 2020, just before the Covid-19 pandemic.
They unveiled plans to invest substantially in the site, including building a side extension and outside terrace.
But their plan to complete the work and reopen the pub by Christmas that year was scuppered by the lockdown.
The company – which owns three other pubs in Wirral, including the Jug & Bottle in Heswall – instead focused on supporting its other sites.
The last update was issued in September 2022 when the firm announced that work would be starting shortly – but it came to nothing.
Now the company has told West Kirby Today that work is imminent and they are aiming to open later this year.
In a statement they said: “We are as keen as local residents to get the project under way and after a number of delays with contractors we can confirm that the refurb is due to start imminently.
“All being well, the project will be well under way by spring, with plans to reopen later in the year.”
