It's just a couple of miles off the M6, but the tiny village of Smallwood feels like it could be from another time, hidden away in pretty Cheshire countryside.

And now a historic village pub at the heart of this tranquil spot, near Sandbach in Cheshire, has unveiled a major transformation just in time for the Summer.

It's set to have big appeal to families too, as the new look includes a brilliant new wooden fort play area that is free for customers to use.
