Great time…But it isn’t coming home just yet!

History was made on the Saturday the 8th July as England beat Sweden in the World Cup Quarter Finals! This will be the first time in 28 years they have made it to the Semi finals! Although we did not make it to the final. We are proud to have come fourth in the World Cup and what a great time was had!

Chum appears to have real pedigree in dog friendliness

So now it’s official! The Cholmondeley Arms (‘Chum’) has been recognised by three national newspapers in the space of six weeks as a great place to bring your pet dog! The Guardian’s latest take is linked here below….we have featured in the Independent and the Telegraph too. Voted in the Top Ten Pubs in the UK three years running! Nowadays our chefs bake the biscuits for the dogs staying with us….a gourmet treat…and we have Cholmondeley Arms blankets that one can buy their Pooch as a lasting memory of their favourite pub! Dog Beer is available to toast ones Master as well as a bed or two to sleep it all off! The Chum…..a real howl!

Shane gets 30th treat!

Our very own Shane Davies celebrated his 30th this month and as a very small treat to celebrate, Tim took Shane to drive the new Porsche Cayenne off road in the highest village in Wales!

Shane drove the car up hill and down dale and across a lake or two… as he tested the car out to the full! He did say after the challenging off road run….”can I borrow the car to drive back to Mobberley please??”

Sadly, no, was the answer!! Big thanks to Porsche Chester for setting up the session for Shane (and Tim) to enjoy!!
