Wrexham’s newest gastropub is open for business after a week of ‘first-look’ events, ‘friends and family’ food tastings and a VIP launch.
The Savvy Fox – formerly Rafters – at Hotel Wrexham, which was formerly Holt Lodge, on Wrexham Road has reopened its doors after a £350,000 refurbishment.
Under new ownership, the venue has been completely transformed into a country pub with a new menu.
New owners, Steven Hesketh and Dan Gillon hope to put the venue on the map with local residents, the business community and those staying at Hotel Wrexham, which is also at the beginning of a full programme of refurbishments.
“We’re thrilled to be opening our doors”, says Steven. “We can’t wait to hear the feedback from local residents on the updates we’ve made.
“We want The Savvy Fox to be known as a fun, lively, friendly and down to earth place to meet. We’ll have live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday throughout November and December and lots of events taking place in the coming months too.
“We’ve worked really hard, not just to make the space feel warm, cosy and welcoming, but also to ensure that our team delivers first-class hospitality and service that goes above and beyond expectations. The Savvy Fox is a venue that is perfect for celebrations and special occasions, but equally where you can call in after work for a quick drink and a chat with friends.
“Whatever your reason to visit us, our aim is to surprise and delight our customers and by that we mean to go that extra mile to give them a memorable experience.”
