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.

Here at the Three Greyhounds Inn Head Chef Craig and Sous Chef Richard and the kitchen team have developed a lovely menu for you all to enjoy from autumn salads that can be enjoyed as a starter or main course such as Home Smoked Combermere Abbey Pheasant Breast Salad with cranberries and pickled wild mushrooms or King Prawns poached in white wine with a salad of crab and avocado.

There are heart- warming dishes such as Duchy Estate Venison Steak with a little game pie, braised red cabbage, Pan Haggerty and juniper gravy or Slow Cooked Shoulder of Cheshire Lamb with red cabbage and braised layered potato and a red wine gravy or Honey Glazed Baby Gammon with fresh caramelised pineapple, crispy duck egg and chips.

For seafood fans we have caught Grilled Fillet of Bream on crushed new potato cake with creamed peas and shredded ham hock or Roasted Hake on a Yorkshire chorizo, butter bean and red pepper casserole with rocket salad.

For Vegetarians we have Staffordshire Oatcakes filled with wilted spinach and wild mushroom in a creamy white wine sauce with English garden salad or Belton Farm Organic Red Leicester, Caramelised Red Onion and Potato Pie with buttered greens and chips with a cream mustard sauce.
