The Cholmondeley Arms

The personal touch

Originally a Victorian schoolhouse, with steep gables and an octagonal bell tower, the Cholmondeley Arms stands in rural Cheshire close to the entrance to Cholmondeley Castle. Imaginatively converted to an inn in 1988 – although it’s still part of the Cholmondeley Estate – the ‘Chum’ retains an old school atmosphere with high-roofed halls, large windows and huge radiators. More recently, it has been restored by Tim Bird and Mary Mclaughlin who operate some lovely individual pubs in Cheshire and beyond smart pastel-painted walls are festooned old photos of the school and estate, shelves groan with over 300 gin bottles, and there are leather armchairs by the blazing fire (arrive early to bag one of these). Elsewhere, note the colourful rugs on plank floors and old dining tables topped with fresh flowers and candles, plus blackboards listing forthcoming events. It’s no wonder that the place draws an appreciative crowd for its lively vibe, great staff, amazing drinks selection (those gins, again) and freshly cooked, modern British pub food.
 

Sticky fingers

Children under 10 are allowed in pub until 7pm, in the garden until 9pm during the summer, and they are welcome overnight.
 

Muddy paws

Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the pub: dog bowls are by the doors, doggy treats in a jar on the bar, and you even can order a dog ‘beer’ (a meaty stock-based drink). Dogs can stay overnight in the two downstairs rooms (£10 charge). The Telegraph has recognised the ‘Chum’ twice in the last year in the top ten places to stay with your dog!
 

Alfresco

There’s a decent sized lawn to the rear of the pub, and a number of smart French oak tables and benches to the front. Both enjoy peaceful country views.
 

What’s on?

Gin-tasting classes are a big talking point. They take place on Saturday afternoons and bookings are required. Also don’t miss the ‘Gin Fest’ four day gin and music event in July.  ‘Professor Ted’s Old School Quiz’ is held on the last Tuesday of each month, and there are live music sessions on occasional Friday evenings. The Cholmondeley Arms has its own Car Club with five to six meets a year featuring Vintage, Classic and Sporty styles as well as the cherished variety of car! Check the roller chalkboard above the fire for other events ranging from clay-pigeon charity shoots to vintage car rallies.

The Cholmondeley Arms

Do not disturb

Six comfortable rooms are located across the car park in what was the headmaster’s house (converted some 10 years ago). They retain the simple ‘home from home’ charm of the original – note the striking leaded windows – and are named after famous and (mainly) fictional teachers. Tastefully freshened up in January 2015, they are cosy and inviting, with warm heritage colours (Farrow & Ball), good-quality beds and down duvets plus tiled en-suite bath or shower rooms. The pick of the bunch is Mr Bird – one of the larger ground-floor rooms with rugs on polished boards, darkwood furniture, a leather wing chair in the bay window, and prints and paintings on deep burgundy walls. Most rooms also have views of the garden and surrounding countryside.

Mastering the menu

Tom Richards heads up a busy kitchen that delivers a wide-ranging selection of dishes all day, every day. Using local game in season, Rose County beef and lamb, local venison and other produce sourced from the surrounding area, the seasonally changing menu offers something for everyone. Kick off with a sharing ‘pub plate’ laden with black pudding Scotch egg, crayfish and prawn cocktail, crispy whitebait, potted ham hock and other goodies. ‘Old school favourites’ are pub classics with a twist, perhaps a gourmet Wagyu beef burger with Cheddar rarebit, treacle-cured bacon, onion rings, pickles and chips, while ‘seasonal specials’ might list ale-braised oxtail cheek with celeriac and mustard mash. Round off with a delicious nursery pud or a plate of locally sourced cheese.
 

On the menu

Treacle-cured sea trout, pickled fennel and caperberry salad £5.95
Venison faggot, rosemary potato cake and blackberry sauce £6.50 
Confit duck leg and Yorkshire chorizo hash with fried duck egg £12.95

If Genever’s your thing and you’re with friends, try the ‘gin board’ – three gins, three garnishes, three tonics, all for £15. Ale lovers are also spoilt for choice with an impressive line-up of five pumps dispensing local beers from within a 35-miles radius of the pub – Teachers Tipple, Headmasters Ale and Cholmondeley Best (all brewed by Weetwood) and two guest ales, perhaps from Wincle Brewery. Wine drinkers are not forgotten with an interesting list offering 13 by the glass.

The Sandstone Trail provides unbroken and often elevated walking, from Frodsham on the Mersey Estuary to Georgian Whitchurch in north Shropshire; and there are plenty of other walks as well, taking in wild moorland and rocky ridges, or delightful towns and villages. Further west, the Offa’s Dyke Path follows the Welsh border down from Prestatyn.

 

Cycling

www.visitcheshire.com
A great selection of cycle routes suitable for everyone can be found here. There are nice flat canal towpaths and gentle inclines as well as serious downhills and exciting off-roading. The Cheshire Cycleway offers 176 miles of varied terrain, and there are also several National Cycle Network routes in the area.

Activities

Fishing, Hampton Malpas SY14 8AD
Coarse fishing is available at several fisheries in the area.

Skydive Tilstock Parachute Club, Tilstock Airfield, Whitchurch SY13 2HA
If you fancy something a bit more adrenalin-fuelled, what about skydiving? Both tandem and solo jumps are available. Experience amazing views of the countryside if you’re not too terrified to take them in.

Dearnford Lake Activities, Tilstock Road, Whitchurch SY13 3JQ
Lots of activities, from ballooning, bushcraft and glamping, to cycling, canoeing and raft-building, and swimming. Café and events too. (Fishing is only available to groups of 25 or more.)

Places to Visit

Erdigg, Wrexham LL13 0YT
This very atmospheric country house dates to the 18th century and is ideal for exploring 250 years of the life (both ‘upstairs’ and ‘downstairs’) of a gentry family. There’s a unique collection of servants' portraits, as well as fine furniture, textiles and wallpapers, plus a 485-hectare country park and formal walled garden.

Nantwich Museum CW5 5BQ
Small local museum with displays about (amongst other things) Roman salt making, Tudor Nantwich’s Great Fire, the English Civil War and the Battle of Nantwich (1644). The Millennium Gallery houses a diverse selection of temporary exhibits.

Beeston Castle and Woodland Park, Chapel Lane, Beeston CW6 9JX
In a dramatic setting, perched on a high crag, the ‘Castle of the Rock’ is famous for its spectacular views. You can see eight counties on a clear day, from the Pennines to the Welsh mountains. As well as the views, there’s lovely woodland to explore, with wildlife trails, regular events, and the chance of a bacon sandwich.

Cholmondeley Castle, Cholmondeley, Malpas SY14 8AH
A delightful early nineteenth century Gothic castle, with turrets and battlements and beautiful gardens, still home to the Cholmondeley family. There are fifty acres of stunning ornamental gardens, which have been extensively developed over the past sixty years by Lady Lavinia Cholmondeley, and 670 acres of historic parkland. The hugely popular, annual festival of motorsport, the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power, with racing, demonstrations and displays, is held at the Castle. (The castle is not open to the public except groups by prior arrangement).

Stretton Watermill, Stretton SY14 7HS
One of the best preserved demonstration water-powered corn mills in the country. Visitors can see the ancient wooden machinery in action, hear about the history of the mill, have a go at milling grain, work miniature models, and enjoy the beautiful countryside setting.

Little Morton Hall, Congleton CW12 4SD
A stunning National Trust-owned timber-framed Tudor building complete with moat, knot garden and kitchen garden supplying the tea room where you can enjoy light lunches and afternoon teas after a walk around the grounds.

Fenn's, Whixall & Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve, Wrexham SY13 2PQ
These three peat bogs make up the third largest area of lowland raised bog in Britain. Most ‘mosses’ in the UK have been drained, so the area is a rare survivor. No commercial cutting has taken place here since 1991 and the place is a haven for wildlife. A number of circular, waymarked trails will take you through this fascinating habitat.

Shopping

Churche's Mansion Antiques Centre, Nantwich CW5 5RY
A splendid timber-framed Elizabethan mansion that luckily escaped the Great Fire of Nantwich in 1583.

Reviews

Daily Telegraph: Top 10 best pet friendly hotels, 10 March 2015
This former Victorian schoolhouse-turned-inn is as stylish as Beau Brummell inside. The glorious carved oak bar dominates the main hall and apart from the malted charms of Cholmondeley Best Bitter and Merlin’s Gold, there are a staggering 200 varieties of ruinously good gin to discover. Your faithful friend will not go thirsty either, as dog beer (made from meat stock) is readily available. Food is hearty and delicious and rooms in the old headmaster’s house behind the inn are calm, civilised and comfortable. Three of them are dog-friendly, and dog beds are supplied too.

Inn Location - The Cholmondeley Arms

The Church Inn, Mobberley WA16 7RD
There has been a pub here since 1715, but it reopened in 2013 when Tim Bird and Mary McLaughlin saved it from dereliction and restored it to its original splendour. Located opposite the 12th Century village church and overlooking the famous stocks of Mobberley, this lovely old inn serves a range of local ales and good food.

Cheshire Farm Ice Cream, Tattenhall CH3 9NE
The Cholmondeley Arms serves a few of the 40-plus varieties of Cheshire Farm ice creams and sorbets on its menu, but if you still want to taste more, visit this family-run business and see how it’s made. With a play barn for the kids and a cafe for the grown-ups, it’s no wonder the farm attracts 500,000 visitors each year.

Cheerbrook Farm Shop, Newcastle Road, Nantwich CW5 7EL
Award-winning farm shop offering top quality local food including plenty made on site. They are so proud of their ‘perfect sausages’ that you can order them online by the. Great for browsing as well as shopping and there’s a café too.

Hollies Farm Shop, Little Budworth CW6 9ES
Now run by the fourth generation of the same family that started it in 1959 as a roadside vegetable stand, this exceptional farm shop now sells produce from more than 40 Cheshire suppliers. Stock up with local fruit and veg, homecooked meats, homemade pies, bread, cakes and preserves before having a cuppa in the on-site coffee shop.

Ginger and Pickles, 3 Mill Street, Nantwich CW5 5ST
A bakery and teashop with a good choice of leaf tea and some great cakes.

Wincle Brewery, Wincle SK11 0QE
Set within the Peak District National Park, this award-winning microbrewery was set up in 2008 in a former milking parlour at Tolls Farm Barn. Many of the beers were inspired by local characters, including the Wincle Waller named after dry stone waller Peter Eardley. The shop is open seven days a week and the brewery also runs guided tours by prior arrangement.

The Bulls Head, Mobberley WA16 7HX
Dating back to 1812, The Bulls Head was saved by Tim & Mary Bird and reopened in 2010 after a major refurbishment. It now serves seven cask ales from Cheshire breweries within a 30-mile radius of the pub, 80 whiskies and enjoyable pub grub. The beer garden is a must-visit when the sun shines.

Willington Fruit Farm and Farm Shop, Willington, Kelsall CW6 0PH
You might recognise the home-pressed apple juice sold at this well-stocked farm shop as it appears on the drinks list at the Cholmondeley Arms. Apart from farm-made apple juice and cider, there is a vast range of local fruit and veg, honey, cheese, eggs and ice cream. From June onwards, you can buy strawberries picked straight from the field. Closed Mon-Wed.

We reserve the right to edit any comments left by contributors to the site.


BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
