W**e Man, Tim, has been busy, and something exciting is coming to the Roebuck Inn!

Our brand new w**e list lands next Friday, with some really special new w**es by the bottle and by the glass 🍷

Top of Tim’s list? A French Chenin Blanc from the sun-soaked Languedoc that he’s sure you’re going to love.

Chenin Blanc is one of the world’s most versatile white grapes. It was born in France’s Loire Valley and is loved for its bright, refreshing acidity and notes of crisp apple, pear and a touch of honey. In the warmer Languedoc, it takes on a riper, rounder style while keeping all that lovely freshness.

Tim has paired it with the scallop dish on our new menu. The w**e’s natural acidity lifts the sweetness of the scallops, making it a match he simply couldn’t resist.

It’s time to bring back Chenin Blanc, and we can’t wait for you to try it. 🥂

W**e Man: Barbera and Ripasso magnum food pairing at the Cholmondeley Arms

The W**e Man loves a big bottle 🍾 A magnum ages more slowly than a standard bottle, and many w**emakers say the w**e simply tastes better for it. Perfect for sharing with friends.

🍒 Tenuta Il Cascinone D’Annona Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG, Piedmont: fresh and juicy, with gentle spice, cherry and a touch of chocolate.

🍇 Prà Morandina Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC, Veneto: refermented over Amarone grape skins for extra depth, with ripe black fruits, fig and a twist of orange peel.

He’s paired both with our slow-cooked short rib of beef. The Barbera’s freshness cuts through the richness, while the Ripasso’s dark fruit stands up to those deep, slow-cooked flavours.

Magnums available at the Cholmondeley Arms and Church Inn. Gather your favourite people and make an occasion of it 🍷

15 years of the Cholmondeley Arms! ✨

Thank you very much to everyone who has come down the the this weekend to join in our 15 year anniversary celebrations 🎉 What a weekend!

It’s been 15 years since we took over this wonderful pub, and we couldn’t be prouder.

A huge thank you to our amazing General Manager Helen. She’s been an integral part of the Cholm for many of those years, and has been amazing in her role at the helm. Also to our incredible Head Chef Richard for bringing so much passion and talent to the kitchen.

Thank you to our loyal community and to every single person who has drank, dined, and stayed with us over the past 15 years. We are so proud of the incredible institution that is the Chum 🙌🏼

W**e Man’s top 5 reds for autumn 🍂🍷

As the evenings draw in, W**e Man has been reaching for something with a little more warmth and depth. Here’s what’s on his list this season. Take notes! 📝

1. Nielson Pinot Noir, California 🇺🇸

Named after Uriel Nielson, who planted Santa Barbara County’s very first commercial vineyard in 1964 when everyone said it was too cold for grapes. Cool coastal fog gives this Pinot its freshness: black cherry, cranberry and a hint of cola spice on a silky palate.

2. Valpolicella Ripasso, Italy 🇮🇹

Often called “baby Amarone”, Ripasso is made by passing young Valpolicella over the dried grape skins left behind from Amarone, giving it extra richness and depth. Think black cherry, plum, raisin and a hint of cocoa.

3. Juan Gil Monastrell, Jumilla, Spain 🇪🇸

Grown on 40-year-old bush vines high in the hot, dusty hills of Jumilla, this is generous and fruit-packed, with ripe plum, blackberry and a whisper of vanilla spice.

4. Adobe Organic Carmenere, Chile 🇨🇱

Our organic favourite from Emiliana in the Colchagua Valley. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant meet Carmenere’s signature green pepper note, with soft tannins and a warm, peppery finish.

5. Boutinot Cairanne, Rhône, France 🇫🇷

From Boutinot’s own hillside vineyards above the village of Cairanne, this southern Rhône cru is rich and smooth, with morello cherry, cinnamon spice and liquorice.

Which one’s going in your glass first? Let W**e Man know in the comments 👇

CASK ALE 🍺 - or ‘REAL ALE’ as it’s known to the purists - is the beating heart of any great pub. Unlike its keg cousins, it keeps maturing after it leaves the brewery, working its magic right there in our cellars.

Pulling a perfect pint of cask is a skill, not a switch. Our teams train not just to pour it, but to look after it - cellar management is half the job ✅

From the brew to the pour to the flavour that hits your glass, cask ale is craft from start to finish.

When we opened our first pub, one rule came before all the others: every pint had to be brilliant. That’s why everything on the bar comes from breweries within 35 miles of our pubs 🍻

Small, local, and brewed fresh every single week.

So this Cask Ale Week, if you’re ordering a b**r, make it a cask 🍺
