Last week we launched Dogs Dinners at The Three Greyhounds Inn, we now offer a doggie menu featuring a selection of dry food from Ocars pet food.The menu includes a Lamb and Rice meal, a Chicken and Rice meal and some tasty treats, all meals are gluten free and contain no artificial flavouring.All of these tasty meals and snacks can be washed down by some doggie beer… yes that’s right doggie beer (non-alcoholic of course)! The first choice beverage for many dogs, is a meat stock based drink.

Dogs are welcome in the ‘Brandy Snug’ and also in our large garden. There is a lovely strole around Shakerely Mere nature reserve. Our walk leaflets can either picked up from within the pub of found on the website.

Don’t forget there are doggie treats on the bar provided by our friends at WAGS Kennels, Middlewhich.

See doggie menu below.

The team have worked hard over the last few days on Summer drinks training and you can see from the photo that the drinks were put on the bar for
customers and staff to sample…the most popular being the ‘Brandy Mule’ which is our take on the famous Moscow Mule except using brandy instead of
vodka, with chilled organic ginger beer and fresh limes with ice.

Also enjoyed were the ‘Apple Orchard Mist’ using apple juice and cider brandy in the form of our Kingston Black or Somerset Pamona mixed with lemonade and then with ice, fresh mint, Orange, Strawberry and cucumber, think of an Applely Pimms and you have it!!

As you will see from the photo of the summer drinks board there are a few more including the ever popular Pimms No.1 and the increasingly popular
Aperol Spritz ….sunshine in a glass.

So even if there is a little cloud about pop in and cheer yourself up with a special summer drink and test the team!

It’s a great dog’s life!!

It’s unbelievable but true doggie beer (non-alcoholic of course) is on the shelf here at the Three Greyhounds Inn. Pet dogs are welcome in our ‘Brandy Snug’ named after our famous collection of some 50 brandies of all different styles!! There are the usual Dog biscuits on the bar (supplied by our local Dogs kennel ‘WAGS’) as you would expect but now for only £1.50 your ‘pooch’ can have a little beverage with you!! Doggie beer is made up of meat stock and is certainly lapped up. Sometimes the bottle is nearly as big as the dog as you can see!!

Shakerley Mere the picturesque lake is opposite the Three Greyhounds Inn and is well worth a walk with your the dog before you arrive at our pub. Walk leaflets for this are available here on our website or from within the pub itself.

We also have a large garden at the side of our pub which is ideal in the spring and summer months for your respective hounds..just venture through the Brandy Snug and through the French windows and you are there!

What a great time over Christmas our teams have had. It is tiring work but there are plenty of smiles and fun around the place!! The Bulls Head in Mobberley held its annual Christmas Jumper competition and the judges moved around the pub secretly assessing the best. Pete had won it last year with his ‘snow man number’ so was a favourite again this year.

There were a number of good efforts but I am pleased to say Pete held on to his crown with an ‘elf jumper’ with matching hat!! Well done Pete! There must be someone out there who can out do Pete in 2014??!

The teams as you can see had a good go with our personal favourite being Tom at the Church Inn with his Christmas pudding version!! Thanks to all our teams for making the effort. At the Cholmondeley Arms the ‘Snow Ball’ Drink was re-incarnated by the team and you can see Miya sampling some for the camera behind the Cholmondeley Bar!!!

Thank you to all our customers who have added to the atmosphere at all our pubs. There have been Christmas Carol singers at Cholmondeley and Brass bands at The three Greyhounds Inn at Allostock and The Church Inn in Mobberley as we managed to squeeze them in our newly decorated Church Inn ‘boot room’.

On Christmas eve as the Carol service finished at St. Wilfs church opposite the Church Inn in Mobberley we were on hand to serve the masses (get it!!) with mulled wine on the terrace with warm chimineas  burning away. There were festive nibbles and roasted chestnuts and a lot of good cheer! A very happy Christmas to all!!

Thanks to all our teams for working so hard!!

We apologise for the delay in picking the winner of our Shakerley Mere photo competition. James and his fellow judges got their heads together and chose the photo sent in by Sally. It was felt that the photo captured the scenery and wildlife of the Mere and had a great deal of feeling attached to it.

So the first prize for Sally and her family to enjoy is £50 of Three Greyhounds Inn vouchers and a cheese and wine hamper!!

Thank you to everyone who sent a photo in.
