A former wine bar on the outskirts of Preston is to reopen as a micro pub.

The Vestry is a family-run venture from Mark Lawson and his wife Toni.

Located at 109 Church Road in Tarleton the pub used to be Mocha Rogue wine bar.

Mark, 37, said: “Our aim is to support local breweries and producers and give the local residents of Tarleton and Hesketh Bank something different.

“We will be serving quality cask ales, craft ales and our special gin sharing trays.

“Toni and I have both worked in pubs in the past but never run our own before.

“I’m currently a joiner and site manager and Toni works as an admin supervisor.”

Mark said they are working on doing up the building with a ‘vintage chic style’.

They also plan to do free cheeseboards on a Sunday.

The Vestry is due to open on Friday 8 March.
