Mr Delaney said: "The Kennel Bar outside, will be an addition onto The Crewe Dog - offering outside seating during summer and a live events space bar.

"Crewe's music scene has unfortunately gown downhill since the the loss of local venues like The Box and The Limelight.

"If we can offer one tenth of that we will be happy.

"Scheduled live Crewe Central performances including non-ticketed free events and ticketed events will be happening and advertised in the coming weeks.
