Frodsham Pubs Launch
In amongst recent projects and work. We here at Monkeyhead have been putting together a local directory of restaurants and bars for the town of Frodsham and its surrounding areas. Its a comprehensive site featuring an events page, independant reviews and details of the establishments in and around Frodsham.
The site isn’t completely finished. We still have to update some of the details, finish the mass of reviews which need to be written and complete the restaurant listing section. In addition we have to add more pictures, events and special offers to upload. We thought with the amount of workload required that an early launch may spur us on to get things completed.
Visit the site and tell us what you think. Visit frodsham pubs
