With a backdrop of contemporary decor with eclectic fabrics and furnishings, The Chequers will offer a wide range of local beers and cask ales as well as a full range of spirits and wines from around the world.
Charles Harris, operations director of the Warwickshire based business, said: “We’ve been looking for the right venue to complement The Forest at Feckenham for over a year and our highly acclaimed head chef Tom Robinson will be based at The Chequers.
“We are investing nearly £500k in a full scale stylish refurbishment of the pub, both inside and out, which includes a new roof and an increased electrics supply to the pub with a new upgraded transformer to be installed by Western Power in the village.
“The 16-week works programme also includes the removal of overhead electrical cables and an upgraded underground power supply to the pub.
“The chance to introduce our successful formula to the village of Crowle for great food, at great value in a great atmosphere is very exciting, and we are looking forward to becoming an integral part of village life,” he added.
