During that time the Arden has become a much- loved local institution winning a string of awards along the way for the excellent quality of the beer and food, pub décor, value for money and great customer service. The pub has been CAMRA Regional Pub of the Year, it has been a regular in the national Good Beer Guide, it features on WKH 1DWLRQDO ,QYHQWRU\ RI +HULWDJH 3XEV and was chosen as Pub of the Year for the Manchester Food and Drink Festival in 2008. Joe told Opening Times: “Myself and my partner Steve have been licensees at the Arden Arms for almost eighteen years. We are so pleased with our journey and of everything we have achieved for the pub. We have always made sure that our customers feel welcome and included, and that the pub is a place where everybody can feel safe and have a sense of belonging. We will be sad not to play an active role at the pub any more; but it will remain in our hearts forever.” Steve and Joe left with a weekend of events from 11 to 13 August with live music, special food and, of course, great beer. They leave with the very best wishes of everyone in CAMRA and out hopes for a long and happy retirement. Their successors were due to take over on 18 August and we hope to meet them in the next issue.
