The Farmers Arms in Poynton, Cheshire, has been brought up to date - with a nod to its history retained - using floral furniture, a newly built orangery, a rebuilt walnut bar, and even a life-size floral cow.
A host of eye-catching architectural features help to dispel the 'old man pub' image from the venue, which has been restored by licensees Martin Crank and Simon Hood with the help of investment by supplier Robinsons Brewery.
The pub was originally built in the late 1700s, and this has been its largest overhaul since, with the floral design of the cow reflected in the upholstery on the new pub furniture, and across ten square metres of floral motifs attached to the walls.
Nature is abundant also with almost 3,000 butterflies fixed to the walls of the pub, and in the tree-inspired wallpaper used in the newly constructed orangery.
Mr Crank said: "The design has turned everything on its head. If you compared the pub to what it looked like at the start of the year, you wouldn't believe it's the same place.
"It's become more than just a place to drink and eat; it's become an experience."
And yet there are still memories of the past built into the very structure of the pub, which retains much of the same exterior look apart from the addition of the orangery.
By the entrance, eagle-eyed customers who are able to ignore the distraction of the floral cow looking at them may be able instead to spot a half-crown coin built into the architecture.
This was recovered from the bar during the renovation works - and had been originally stuck there more than 50 years ago by Mr Crank's father-in-law.
"It is part of the rich history of this pub and is a microcosm of our core beliefs - embracing heritage, whilst looking towards the future," said Robinsons' managing director of the pub division William Robinson.
The combination of different styles, decorations and even eras is testament to the versatility of a pub environment, and of the ability of pub furniture to be all things to all people, while working well in a forward-thinking venue such as the Farmers Arms.
