You know Christmas is on its way when gin enthusiasts arrive from far and wide for the Annual Gin Appreciation (AGA) competition. This year’s Judge was Alex the Gin curator for Opihr Gin (remember his Tuk,Tuk!!??) but also Gin ambassador for Thomas Deakin Gin the newly founded Manchester Gin.
Alex judged the competition with Jess our manager in close proximity.
The ‘Peoples’ Champions, chosen by the competitors themselves, were Phil and Sarah Probin and the runner up was Chrissie Crossley!!
The Judges Champion as chosen by Alex was Chrissie Crossley, second was Andy Latham and third was Richard Goodwin. The winners got a bottle or tow of Thomas Deakin Gin.
Well done to all the amateur fruit gin makers and thank you for taking part.
Well done to the placed finalists and the winners of course.
Start making that gin ready for next year!
At a glittering dinner at Chester Racecourse in late November we are very proud to announce that the Cholmondeley Arms was chosen as the ‘Tourism Pub of the Year 2015/16’.
Local Chum regulars Kit and Phil did a cracking job with the 2015 Cholmondeley Charity shoot in April. The event attracted a great deal of support and with fair weather was a great success with the shoot raising a record £3600 split equally between the Air Ambulance and Hope House with £1800 each. The charity shoot is an annual event so do join us in 2016. A big well done to Kit and Phil and all the rest of the locals with Jess and the Chum team for all their hard work!
Tuesday Evening saw Professor Ted’s quiz final at the Cholmondeley Arms, with over 12 teams battling to win.
For the second time in less than a year the Daily Telegraph Travel section has put the Cholmondeley Arms in the top ten places to bring your dog this time we are featured in the Top Ten Hotels around the UK.
