The venue has promised a restaurant, bar and music space that ‘shifts with the seasons’. The food menu will feature everything from brunches to small plates and Sunday roast, with some wood-fired cooking.
The drinks offer will include 20 keg beer lines and four cask ales, plus cocktails.
Nick Muir, director of Libertine, added: “Myself, Hayley and the team hope to be a welcome addition to Withington. Libertine is a prominent building in the village, much-loved by the locals.
