The team behind Inventery bar and kitchen in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, have confirmed the venue's closure after six years in business. A sign announcing the news was placed in the doorway of the bar and kitchen on Station Road this evening.
Six Years of Service
Inventery opened in 2020 as a cocktail bar before expanding to serve food. Located within a short walk of the train station, it offered quick links into Manchester and surrounding suburbs. The team shared an update on social media this evening, thanking supporters, while the sign on the door read: "To everyone that has supported our journey over the last 6 years, thank you!"
In a social media post, the team wrote: "Thank you for all the support we have received from everybody over the last 6 years. And a special thank you to all the community and our regular friends - you know who you are. It's been an absolute blast. Have a great end to the year and a fabulous Christmas. Thank you, everyone from Inventery past and present."
Community Reaction
Customers took to Facebook to express their sadness, with some calling it "a shame" and others saying it was "so sad". One wrote: "Oh no! That was my favourite bar in Cheadle Hulme. Such a shame." On Instagram, a customer said: "So sad we loved Inventery, from watching the Euros and World Cup, to Sunday roasts, breakfast and the odd birthday party over the years. Good luck in your new chapter guys." Another added: "Sad, we have had many memories and always happy and important to support local businesses, reality is Cheadle Hulme needs more so hope we see something reborn and soon."
Venue History and Offerings
Inventery was created by Inventive Design Associates, a small design practice in the North West with hospitality design experience. The venue expanded into a small plates kitchen, with dishes including beer battered fried coley with homemade katsu curry, homemade lamb kebabs, and crispy jacket potato skins with melted cheddar, green onions, jalapenos and sour cream. The menu also featured weekend brunch, Wednesday steak nights, and a board and bottle offer with wine and charcuterie. The venue hosted events such as live music, comedy nights, and wine tastings.
In 2024, the venue underwent a refurbishment, introducing a new menu, a Garden Room area, and a hidden garden space where many events were held.
