Former Liverpool and England star’s celebrity bar and restaurant is handed winding-up order

The former Liverpool and England star’s bar and restaurant – a regular haunt among footballers and WAGs – is being liquidated by court after being charged £163,000

  • Parea – a bar and restaurant owned by an ex-star from England – has been liquidated
  • It was a regular haunt of celebrities and footballers, but it was £163,000 in debt
  • Parea made headlines after sushi was served to a half-naked woman at a party

A famous bar and restaurant funded by former England striker Emile Heskey and run by his wife Chantelle in footballers paradise Alderley Edge has been liquidated by court with debts of £163,000.

New documents filed with Companies House show that a winding-up order was served on May 30, marking the end of the venue, called Parea, which opened in 2018.

It was closed earlier this year after a local catering company filed for bankruptcy over unpaid debts. Parea was a regular haunt of footballers and TV stars, including Real Housewives of Cheshire regulars.

It made headlines in 2019 when, at a first anniversary party, sushi was served to a half-naked woman lying on a table, her modesty largely preserved by some leaves and salmon nibbles.

The bar and restaurant were on two floors and also had a large outdoor terrace for visitors to enjoy.

Co-owner James Golden confirmed this to the Manchester evening newsthat they would not renew their lease because ‘the village had become very quiet’.

James said: ‘We closed the bar because our lease was up for renewal and the village had become very quiet. We recently launched in Liverpool and are opening soon in Spinningfields.”

The bar also once made headlines after a masked assailant ‘used stones to smash the windows’ of the location.
