A pub created inside an historic tenants' hall in a "millionaires' village" in Cheshire has been nominated for a top national award. The Churchill Tree pub is set within a gated country estate in the village of Nether Alderley which has been described as among the poshest villages in the UK by The Telegraph.
Now bosses are celebrating after it made a national list of the best new pubs to open over the past two years. It is the only pub in the north west to feature in the Best New Site nominee list at the upcoming The Publican Awards.
The pub industry awards are considered among the most prestigious in the biz and involve a "rigorous" judging process. It will see The Churchill Tree up against The Mainwaring Arms in Newcastle Under Lyme, Heidi's Beer Bar in Cardiff and three London pubs - The Little Scarlet Door, The Boleyn Tavern and Brewdog at Waterloo.
