Last month, a popular pub reopened its doors following a significant refurbishment as part of Hydes’ multi-million pound investment programme across its estate. The Bull’s Head in Lymm, Cheshire, underwent a £160,000 makeover bringing with it a stylish new interior and enhanced guest experience.
The refurbishment focused on a complete internal redecoration, transforming the pub’s interior with a refreshed, contemporary design while retaining its warm and traditional character.
Now, the Salford-based independent brewer and pub company, Hydes is celebrating another milestone. One of its longest serving and most dedicated team members, Iain Craig, who is general manager of The Bull’s Head, has now been with the company for 23 years.
Iain, who has managed the popular village pub for the past four years, has played a key role in building its reputation as a welcoming destination for locals and visitors alike.

At The Bull’s Head, he has introduced popular weekly events including live music, live sports screenings, team games and a Wednesday curry night in partnership with local favourite Naz’s Spice Lounge.
Speaking about his long service and the recent refurbishment, Iain said: “Hydes has been a huge part of my life for more than 20 years, and I’m incredibly proud to still be doing what I love.
“The Bull’s Head is a fantastic pub with a brilliant community, and the investment Hydes has made means we can continue to offer the warm, friendly and memorable experience that our customers expect.

“I’ve seen the pub industry change a lot over the years, but the heart of it has always been people, and that’s what keeps me passionate about this role.”
The Bull’s Head serves Hydes’ full range of award-winning cask ales. The refurbished interior has also been carefully designed to elevate the overall experience while preserving the pub’s original charm and community feel.
