We're thrilled to announce The Lodge Inn, Alsager, as CAMRA South Cheshire Branch Pub of the Year 2026!
This year's judging was tough, so congratulations to our runners-up: The Dysart Arms, Bunbury, and Hops Belgian Bar, Crewe. It is wonderful to have such variety and quality in our Branch area.
It is no mistake that the Lodge Inn has won this award 4 YEARS RUNNING! Their incredible selection of cask ales, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful garden room make it the perfect spot for a pint. Congratulations to Sarah and her team!
There will be a party atmosphere for all the family. We look forward to seeing you there!
