The Market Tavern has re-opened its doors with local publican John Lavine behind the helm.

John has been a Sandbach local for 25 years, having been in the hospitality industry for a long time.

The pub welcomed customers back at the start of the week with plenty of faces popping in to say 'hi'. It's the same pub that people have got to know and love - with just with a few small changes say brewery owners, Robinsons.

"The pub will remain being a community led pub dedicated to bringing people together with great entertainment. From darts and pool, to in house dominoes teams and the late-night Friday and Saturday nights. It's all coming back," said a spokesperson.

"The pub is also introducing a 'Bedroom DJ' night, sofor all those amateur DJs who spend their evenings in their basement or their bedroom spinning on the desks, this is your chance to play to an audience bigger than your our four walls! Look out on Facebook for the announcement of the first Bedroom DJ night." 

Robinsons Brewery say the pub won't be serving food to start with and will be focused on being a meeting place for drinks, with entertainment all the way up until 2 am on weekends.

When we caught up with John he said: "We're delighted to be re-opening the pub and have some great plans to bring back the communities who've loved the pub for years previous, and welcome new faces too."
