Staffordshire pub company Parogon Group will open its long-awaited next venue on Tuesday.

The company – which runs a number of successful venues across Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire – has confirmed that its newest restaurant, The Broughton, will open on October 12.

The highly-anticipated venue’s opening has been postponed a number of times due to various different factors, including the Covid-19 pandemic.

But bookings are now finally open for customers who want to be among the first to secure a table at the Betley site.

Richard Colclough, managing director of Parogon Group, said: “This opening has been a long time coming with many factors, including a pandemic, meaning the planned opening has been pushed back a couple of times. However, we navigated these hurdles and I am very happy to say we will be opening our doors to our guests on the 12th October.
