Liverpool on the menu for New Moon

CHESHIRE pub and bar operator New Moon Pub Co has agreed a deal for its first Liverpool site.

The Knutsford-based company owned and run by chef David Mooney and Paul Newman, a former marketing director with Living Ventures, has signed a lease on the iconic Old Blind School on Harman Street in the city centre.

It will invest around £800,000 in the project, with the The Old Blind School (TOBS) opening in late spring, early summer.

It will be modelled on New Moon’s  successful Old Sessions House  in Knutsford. The Grade II listed  building, will be totally revamped and after many years of neglect, restored sympathetically to convert it in to a 200+ cover restaurant across two floors, with a state-of-the-art kitchen.

The venue will also create 30 to 40 jobs including positions for bar, kitchen and waiting staff.

Paul Newman said: “We have been looking for the right site in Liverpool now for a while and it has always been our intention to be in this fabulous city. We are delighted to have found the perfect site to showcase our thing in Liverpool.

David Mooney added: “We are buzzing and can’t wait to start work on the building. We have already given much thought to our menus, we just can’t wait to get the dishes on the tables.”
