Opening and last night
The Farmhouse was built as a Beefeater in 1996 beside the older, listed Marshfield Bank farmhouse. It stopped trading as a Beefeater in early 2026. Wetherspoon opened the Marshfield Bank Farm House here on 1 September 2026, before Beefeater’s final national night. CAMRA ↗ Caterer Licensee 31 Aug 2026 ↗ Listed Buildings ↗
Local record
History of this pub
The Farmhouse stood on Coppenhall Lane at Woolstanwood, beside Crewe’s Premier Inn. J D Wetherspoon converted the building at a reported cost of £1.5 million and opened it as The Marshfield Bank Farm House on 1 September 2026. Local reporting said the project created 70 jobs, giving this former Beefeater one of the clearest and quickest successor stories in the final estate.
CAMRA’s 30 September 2026 update records a 1996 Beefeater build. The older Grade II-listed eighteenth-century farmhouse was retained but is empty and outside the current pub. Wetherspoon holds the freehold. Its confirmed successor opening remains 1 September 2026; an earlier Beefeater end date is not settled here.
