We are all very proud to announce The Cholmondeley Arms has been chosen as ‘Pub of the Year’ at the Great British Pub Awards 2023/24 on Tuesday 19th September at the awards evening in Manchester.

The Cholmondeley Arms was initially chosen by the judges as ‘Rural/Country Pub of the Year’ at the awards and then went one further to be chosen as the overall winner the Great British ‘Pub of the Year’ 2023/24.

We would like to thank our wonderful team for all their hard work and loyalty and of course all our guests and customers who have helped make the Chum what it is today. The last few years have been a challenging time which makes this award very special indeed.

‘VisitEngland’, along with the other tourist organisations of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the UK government, have launched a new industry standard mark as a way of supporting tourism businesses and providing reassurance to visitors. The industry standard is a way of letting our customers and guests know which businesses have made necessary changes to their day-to-day workings, including social distancing measures and staff training.
