"It was a privilege to open the beautifully renovated and converted Lion and Swan in Congleton.
Congratulations to Andy Pear and everyone involved for not only respecting the important heritage of this historic landmark in Congleton, but also bringing to the town much welcomed and right up-to-date residential, restaurant and refreshing pub facilities.
Knowing Andy and his family as I have, over many years, I know everyone will be assured of a truly warm welcome at the beautiful Lion and Swan, Congleton."
