Cholmondeley Arms

Set in beautiful Cheshire countryside adjacent to Cholmondeley Castle, the Cholmondeley Arms is probably one of England’s most unique pubs.

It sits inside a former Victorian village schoolhouse on Lord Cholmondeley’s estate.

There’s nowhere we’d rather be on a Sunday than the “Chum” 🍻

Our Sunday School Specials are everything a Great Britain Sunday should be.

With melt-in-the-mouth Roasted Prime Sirloin of 28 Day Aged Lancashire Beef, Free-Range Chicken Supreme, or tender Roasted Yorkshire Middle White Pork - all served with all the trimmings you’d hope for. Fluffy Yorkshire pudding, duck fat roasted potatoes, honey glazed carrots, cauliflower cheese, seasonal greens and a rich red wine gravy. Sunday perfection.

Did you know? You don’t have to let Sunday end when the plates are cleared.

Our Sunday Room & Roast offer means you can stay the night and wake up to breakfast the next morning. Now that’s how you do a Sunday. 🛏️☕

Just pop in, book your stay online, or call 01829 720300

Joining our Cholmondeley Dry Gin on the shelf here at the Chum is the second batch of our much loved PINK GIN ~ which quickly became one our most popular serves following its launch a few years ago.

It’s best enjoyed with fresh garden mint, raspberries, and Double Dutch light tonic water 🌿

Available behind the bar, or by the bottle to take home and enjoy.

It’s drizzly, it’s Saturday, and someone needs to make you an Irish Coffee ☕️

Today happens to be World Whisky Day, and we can think of no better way to celebrate than with one of life’s most underrated pleasures.

Warming and indulgent… a measure of fine whisky, a shot of good strong coffee, and topped with softly whipped cream.

Simple and brilliant. Whether you’re at the end of a muddy walk, or just sheltering from the kind of grey afternoon like we have today in Cheshire, the Irish Coffee has you covered.

It’s not a pudding or a nightcap. It’s in a category entirely of its own.

Come on in out the rain, pull up a pew, and let us make you one.
