The The Cheshire Cat Pubs Photo Competition is now open for entries. Our theme is ‘makingmemoriesatthepub’ which you can interpret anyway you like. As long as your photo captures the essence of the pub and what that means to you, you’ll be entered.

Owners Tim Bird and Mary McLaughlin will be choosing their favourite from the entries.

The winner will be given a £250 gift card to be used across any of our pubs and inns on food, drink, rooms, and retail items.

Two runners up will receive a special bottle of wine as selected by ‘Wine Man’ Tim Bird.

How to enter the competition:

  • You enter by uploading your digital photo to Facebook or Instagram and using the hashtag #makingmemoriesatthepub and tagging @cheshirecatpubsandinns.
  • Only photos that have both tagged us AND used the hashtag will be entered. You can write whatever you like in your caption, which can be unrelated to the competition, but you must tag us and use the hashtag to be entered.
  • We will accept entries in both landscape and portrait format.
  • The photo must be of one of our 7 pubs and inns (The Roebuck Inn, The Bull’s Head, The Church Inn, The Three Greyhounds Inn, The Cholmondeley Arms, The Fitzherbert Arms, and The Mainwaring Arms). It can be taken from the inside or outside of the pub.
  • You can enter as many times as you like over the period.
  • Your photos can have people in them, but the person in the photo must be happy for their image to be shared across our social platforms. Please ask permission from the person before you enter.

Entries will be accepted until 11pm on Friday 29th November and the winner will be chosen and notified after this date.
