Coppull Moor Restaurant sold to Lancashire hoteliers

20th May 2008, 3:43pm

The acclaimed Coppull Moor Restaurant in the Lancashire village of Coppull, near Chorley, has been sold through the Manchester office of leading international restaurant agents, Christie + Co, to the owners of Ferrari’s Country House Hotel in Thornley, near Longridge in the Ribble Valley.

The restaurant occupies a prominent ¼ acre site alongside the A49 Preston Road, between Chorley and Wigan, within easy reach of Greater Manchester and just south of the Yarrow Valley Country Park.

The large, detached, Victorian property briefly comprises two lounges with seating for 34, three separate dining rooms with seating for 50, owner's accommodation, a large private garden and a car park for 20 vehicles.

Andrew Dodd, agency manager of Christie + Co's Manchester office, comments:

"We marketed the Coppull Moor Restaurant on behalf of chef-proprietor Barry John Rea, who had owned and operated the business since 1991, establishing an enviable reputation for both the food and service and receiving a number of prestigious awards. Mr Rea has now retired from the restaurant trade and is

emigrating to Portugal. Our marketing of Coppull Moor Restaurant resulted in an offer being received within the first three weeks of being instructed. The purchasers are Ginio and Susan Ferrari, who own the 22-bedroom Ferrari's Country House Hotel in Thornley, an acclaimed restaurant, hotel and wedding venue. The Coppull Moor Restaurant will be operated by their daughter and son-in-law to create a fine dining experience."

The Coppull Moor Restaurant was sold for an undisclosed figure after Christie + Co sought offers in the region of £485,000 for the freehold interest.
