A scant 12 miles from the border at Farndon, Ruabon is just beyond and there you will find the Bridge End Inn. CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year competition values all the things that make a great pub; atmosphere, decor, service, welcome, value for money, customer mix, and most importantly, the quality of the beer. The Bridge End was taken over by the McGivern family in 2009, with the pub earmarked as ideal premises for the family micro-brewery, McGivern Ales. The family were praised by CAMRA members for restoring the pub’s interior. Now serving 7 real ales and a selection of local ciders at any one time, the pub has stocked real ales from over 100 breweries since opening, with a particular emphasis on local produce. As well as acting as the brewery tap for McGivern Ales, LocAles from North , Cheshire and feature. Peter McGivern, the licensee, said: ‘We are a family business, and the pub has been a real labour of love. We strived to create a pub not focused on food that we would enjoy visiting, putting the product first and offering a wide range of traditional beer styles. As a result we’ve built up a mixed trade of locals and beer lovers from all over Britain. 39 ‘We are delighted with this national award, particularly as we were told that there was little demand for real ale in the area. Through a lot of passion and hard work, we’ve enjoyed great success, with the support of family, close friends, staff and customers.’ Julian Hough, CAMRA Pubs Director, said: ‘The pub is an unbelievable success story; a perfect case study of a local playing a pivotal role at the heart of a community. By investing time into providing a quality beer range full of choice, the pub has become revered across Britain by many beer lovers.’ Chester & South Clwyd CAMRA were delighted to hear of the award. This small THE OLDE community pub, in the part of the branch area, had been empty until it was bought by the family who transformed it into COTTAGE INN a haven for real ale, despite comments that CAMRA PUB OF THE SEASON there was “no call for real ale in this area.” - SUMMER 2011 CAMRA Chair Colin THREE CASK ALES Valentine presented TIMOTHY TAYLOR GOLDEN BEST, the award to a pub LANDLORD & A GUEST ALE packed with the local community, ACCOMMODATION AVAILABLE dignitaries, CAMRA LOCALS’ PUB WITH DARTS, DOMINOES, members and the BAGATELLE & POOL TEAMS media. It was so busy that COAL FIRES the presentation took FOR THOSE COLD WINTER MONTHS place outside; it All are welcome - Jean & Trevor wasn’t raining, but still cold and damp. It was good to return to the cosy atmosphere NO FOOD - NO SKY SPORTS, of the pub afterwards and benefit from the COVERED SMOKING AREA TO REAR warmth of the real fires, the hospitality of 34-36 Brook Street, Chester mine host, and another pint of real ale! 01244 324065 WEST CHESHIRE WITTERINGS South Cheshire Halves Braving the cold and wet weather it was a bit alarming to finally reach the Willey Moor Lock Tavern only to see the pub sign on the A49 unlit! Worries that it might be closed proved unfounded thankfully but popping in a new bulb or two might be a good idea! Crossing over the rushing waters of the canal lock always make me feel cold so it was nice to get inside and take up residence next to the warming log fire. The two beers - they sell more in the busier summer months - on offer were Ruddles County and Merlin's Kings Ale. We chose the latter and were rewarded with a tasty ale which belied its low strength. Nice to have a darker brew for a change too. It was back on to the pale hoppy beers in the Blue Bell at Tushingham though with JHB and Shropshire Gold on the bar. Luckily we'd timed it well as a new barrel of the Salopian had just been pulled through the pump. As we savoured the beer we were able to study the local domino teams in action. The scoring seemed a lot more complicated than we'd imagined - must look up 40 the proper rules some time! Our final stop was at the Wheatsheaf in Nomansheath. I'm sure the owners could save a few quid here by turning down the radiators as the pub was roasting inside! Two beers were on offer here - Spitting Feathers Thirstquencher and Tatton Blonde. The Tatton turned out to be the pint of the night, an excellent pale ale. It was nice to see a large group of younger drinkers in here too supporting their local. Wonder if any of them were on the excellent Tatton? (Mr W) The Ship Inn Relax in our cosy, traditional English pub with real fire and great bar platters.

Tel: (01244) 678400 Dodleston & Pulford A recent HOPS survey for our pubs database took us south west of Chester to two pubs near the border. The Red Lion at Doddleston is a whitewashed, attractive watering hole in the shadow of the village church and one of the better Vintage Inns outlets (Chimneys at Hooton is another good example). It boasts a real fire, separate dining area, and public bar with three ales from a booklet which included Acorn, Adnam's, Hook Norton, Itchen Valley, Moor, Orkney and St Austell to tempt drinkers. A wide-ranging menu minded us to return at a later date. Next, down a few back lanes to Pulford and the vast Grosvenor Arms Hotel which is a health spa, hotel, wedding/conference venue, and bistro/restaurant rolled into one. Drinkers are not neglected, with two ales from Weetwood in the bar. Elton News I had my first pint ever in the Wheelwrights in Elton not so long ago, despite having worked almost next door for over 30 years. If ever a pub should have sold real ale this is it. It is an excellent little community local with lots of character. The beer was Caledonian Double Dark Oatmeal Stout. The nearby Rigger remains keg. Tarvin, Kelsall & Ashton Out Inn Cheshire drop-off time again. At the George & Dragon in Tarvin, hailstones and snow couldn’t deter a clutch of well-heeled diners from their un-seasonal oriental food, washed down by a seasonal selection of ale including Jennings Robin Redbreast, Marstons Pedigree, Wychwood Bah Humbug and Banks Bitter. In the packed Red Lion across the road Thwaites Bitter cooled the passionate supporters enjoying big-screen footy. In Kelsall the Lord Binning, a reincarnation of the Morris Dancer, is a food-led upmarket 41 pub but happily, drinkers are not neglected with three ales in the front bar often including the local Weetwood. As a reward to supportive locals anyone with a CW6 or WA6 postcode gets up to 30% reduction in meal prices on Monday evenings. Meanwhile, at the Farmers Arms, this LocAle pub continues to sell excellent Weetwood ales. The Goshawk featured next where Brimstage Piffle, Weetwood Eastgate and Ruddles were getting some hammer from a rambling/hiking club along with “Ladies who do Lunch”. Last call was the Golden Lion in Ashton. Come on, give this place a try. Copper Dragon Golden Pippin, Old Speckled Hen and Shepherd Neame's Rudolph's Reward were the cask ale tempters.

Cider Pub of the Year 2010 CAMRA Regional Award GOOD Winners 2007/2008 BEER GUIDE CHESTER CHUNDERINGS Local Grog at the Frog We're pleased to announce another new recruit to the branch's LocAle scheme. The Frog in Upton-by-Chester sells two Weetwood ales one being Cheshire Cat and the other a special 4.2% house brew called Chester Blue which features a Chester FC club badge on the pump clip. It's good to hear it apparently flies out and is sure to be well received by any Tranmere and Wrexham fans who just so happen to be passing by(!). The pub was recently acquired by new owners who are also involved in the Chester Events photographic and events company. They harbour plans to install a third hand pump - serving, of course, another local ale. Tasty Tempters at the Cellar Not only is the Cellar on City Road offering discount to CAMRA members from Sunday to Thursday but they’re now dishing out free bacon sandwiches to customers on Sundays. The inducement certainly works as a recent posse of eight stayed on for two more extra pints each of Liverpool Organic Cascade while the token vegetarian wasn’t disappointed as he got his own bowl of parsnip chips! Something to Shout About at the Town Crier Outside Chester railway station, the listed Town Crier has been heavily promoting their real ales in recent months. Initially they had a loyalty card – after eight pints (not neces- 42 sarily all one session!!!) you get your ninth free – but this has since been superseded by them offering 10% discount for CAMRA members. This applies to all cask ales except for Marstons EPA (which always sells at £1.89) and on Tuesday Cask Day when everything (bar the EPA) is £1.99. Beers tend to be from the Marston's stable. Time for a Swift One The new micro-brewery at the Canalside (just off City Road near Old Harkers Arms) was up and running just in time for the new year. Ales are called Swiftys have included Golden Glow at 4.1%. Incidentally the eponymous landlord is not to be confused with his unrelated namesake at the nearby Cellar. Beer Festival Diary Date The Pied Bull on Northgate Street, Chester will be holding another beer festival in April. Last we heard the key dates are Thursday 19 to Sunday 22. Handbridge Circuit In keeping with CAMRA’s policy of using public transport, we took the bus to the Chester suburb of Handbridge to slog uphill to the Carlton Tavern (right) and ponder a choice of Allgates Lubelski bitter or Hydes Bitter. It was then back downhill to the Grosvenor Arms - a vibrant and lively local handy for the shops, where a large number of clubs and societies base themselves. Lunchtime and evening snacks and meals plus two guest ales from a choice of Landlord or Adnam’s Regatta complete the package. Uphill and away from Chester, the now defunct Water Tower overlooks the Red Lion. Totally revitalised by a lively and enthusiastic landlord after a spell as a cocktail bar, this suburban boozer has a cosy snug with a real fire, a separate dining area and a heated patio at the back. Three guest ales included Landlord, Adnam's Bitter and Black Sheep. Back down the hill, to the Handbridge (formerly the White Horse), now a very tidy, well appointed pub with a nice mix of diners and drinkers enjoying the “uncluttered, traditional with a modern twist” surrounds. Ales here tend to be Deuchars IPA, Black Sheep, Bombardier and Robinson's Unicorn. >>> >>> Final pub, close to the narrow Old Dee Bridge, is the Ship Inn. If ever a pub shouted ‘revitalised’ then this is it. Closed for years and neglected, it had new life breathed into it and now serves coffee and pastries from 10 am, lunchtime and evening snacks and full meals in the upstairs restaurant. Downstairs the open plan bar features marvellous local prints and a huge log fire. A Wednesday quiz plus board games amuse punters while on the hand pumps there tend to be three guest ales such as Moorhouse's, Phoenix, Thwaites and Titanic. FARNDON & HOLT OVER THE YEARS When I first came to Farndon over twenty years ago, there were seven pubs to choose from. Just across the Dee bridge into Holt, Wales, could be found the White Lion, the Gredington (Red Lion really) the Golden Lion and the Hand in Heart, while on the English side, there were the Greyhound, the Nag’s Head, and the Raven. So where are they now? The Hand in Heart has for some years been an Indian restaurant. The internal layout of the building is little changed, but sadly the only “beer” now to be had is Carlsberg. The White Lion struggles on as a keg and lager pub, the Gredington has been shut for several years, 43 and is quietly decaying underneath the boards. Only the Golden Lion survives, though now of course renamed the Peal O’ Bells. Here can be found a bastion of cask ale, in a Good Beer Guide regular hostelry, enthusiastically run by Phil Liddell, whose spats with the owning PubCo are the stuff of legends. Always at least two and often three cask ales can be found here, sourced from as far afield as Hawkshead, Bowland and Wrexham. Over the water into England, a journey raucously made years ago by most of Holt on Sundays when Holt was “dry”, the Greyhound is still vibrant with at least four cask beers always available, albeit the well known national brands. Mine host used to have the same role just up the road at the Nag’s Head, and has breathed new life into the place. Sadly, the Nag’s Head has been boarded (well tinned actually) for several years. King Power can remember his first night in Farndon where a friendly neighbour took him to the pub. At 11:00, the curtains were drawn but beer serving continued. Expressing surprise at this, and wondering about the local constabulary, he was told everything was fine, and the chap at the end of the bar was the local constable. So famous was he that years later, a street was named after him. The Raven became the Farndon Arms after a ludicrously expensive refit, which failed utterly. A subsequent period of closure was followed by rebirth as the Farndon, but when the licensee moved on about a year ago, villagers feared the worst. Happily, Michelle Yvonne and Gordon have quietly built up the pub as an excellent restaurant serving good local produce, and featuring local beers at the bar. Weetwood, Sandstone and Spitting Feathers beers are usually available. (King Power) Alan Frain RIP Local CAMRA was very saddened to hear before Christmas of the surprise passing away of Alan Frain, landlord of the Bunbury Arms at Stoak. Alan was a big friend of CAMRA and, back in 2009, he was presented with an award by the branch to commemorate pubs under his stewardship featuring in 25 editions of the Good Beer Guide. This covered spells at the Thatch at Faddiley, the Morris Dancer in Kelsall and especially the Boathouse / Ale Tasters Bar in Chester. Branch chairman Brian Vardy reflected

"Alan Frain was one of the very best licensees you could ever meet. He had a unique understanding of the licensed trade, built over many years of experience. He had a unique understanding of pub customers and how to make them welcome. He always made time to talk to his customers and always had an interesting tale to tell. Alan was constantly organising events such as 44 quizzes or charity fundraising and had the ability to make a pub successful, even where others had failed. He was very enthusiastic about real ale and always kept an excellent pint. He will be sadly missed." Indeed so. Editor’s Note I had the good fortune to meet Alan on a few occasions. The trade needs more like Alan. He was a superb landlord; friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about his calling. I shall miss him. Cheers Alan!
