Hydes puts £3.6m into Merseyside site

Hydes Brewery is set to invest millions in the development of a Heswall building.

Following a £1.3m acquisition of a former police station, Hydes Brewery is set to invest a further £2.3m in the development of the Heswall site.

Set to open as The Harry Beswick later this year, the Merseyside venue will be converted from a vacant building into a new premium pub and restaurant.

The purchase of the building is Hydes’ first property acquisition in over five years. Heswall police station, originally built in 1911, has been empty for several years.

"The Harry Beswick is a great location in a stunningly designed building boasting real history and character," says managing director of Hydes Brewery Adam Mayers (pictured). "Heswall is a thriving area and launching the Harry Beswick opens us up to new audiences.  

"We are working hard to make sure The Harry Beswick will deliver a great experience for customers in the area with a quality, contemporary new design scheme and feel combined with a premium dining and drinking experience and Hydes’ standards of customer service."

Operating just under 50 sites, Hydes has committed over £4.5m to refurbishments of pubs across its estate and it intends to increase that investment substantially throughout 2023.
