Hope Collis and Jacob Thrasher who run The Bottle Bank in Holmes Chapel have taken over another unit in Cheshire.

They are planning to turn a unit in Bollington near Macclesfield into Coupe, a neighbourhood bar and café serving up fine wines, craft beers, cocktails and coffee while bring a 'fresh approach' to casual dining.

Jacob said: "Hope has long dreamt of opening her own space, and we couldn't be more excited to see that dream come to life together here in Bollington. Our ethos is where quality and community come together.

"We aim to source much of our drink selection from local distilleries and breweries in Cheshire, along with artisan coffee and fine wine."

Jacob said: "Like Holmes Chapel, we were drawn to the strong sense of community within such a beautiful setting.

"The premise is located in a beautiful location looking out onto the village green."
