Great British Birthday celebrations on the Menu
A FAMILY friendly pub in a Cheshire village is celebrating its second birthday party with a nomination for a national food award.
The Ring O’Bells in Christleton, which celebrates its second birthday on Saturday with a giant paella and family fun day, has been shortlisted in the family category to the last eight in the Morning Advertiser’s Great British Pub Awards. The Ring O’Bells won the industry magazine’s North West title for the second year running; the Chester pub will find out on September 9 at an Awards ceremony in London if it has beaten the winners from the seven other regions.
Owner of The Ring O’Bells and Modern British Taverns, Ian Wade, has also been in training over the last few months before embarking on September 17 on a gruelling eight day high altitude climb of Kilimanjaro to raise money for Christleton based charity Children Today.
Ian said:
“To have won the North West category for the second year running is a real accolade for us and is the icing on the cake for our second birthday. We were voted 12th last year by 200 leading lights of the pub trade putting us amongst the best pubs in the country; we hope to do even better at this year’s Awards. We really value the community here and do our best to support it in any way.”
Judges were impressed with the family-friendly atmosphere created at the Pub. They said:
“The Ring O’Bells ticks all the boxes for a great family pub – a relaxed atmosphere, affordable food and, most importantly, staff who are tuned in to the needs of customers with young children. Any family would feel welcome here.”
The Ring O’Bells was also recently commended at the 2010 Chester Food & Drink Festival Awards in the Best Pub category and the Family Friendly Award.
