Lord Combermere scoops CAMRA award

Last night, the Lord Combermere was presented by CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, with the South Cheshire Village Community Pub of the Year award for 2013.

Derek Davey, chairman of the CAMRA branch said that the Lord Combermere was a deserved winner with its commitment to village life: sponsor of Audlem FC; supporter of numerous events, notably the Music and Beer Festivals and the Fireworks night; host to numerous village groups such as ARS as well as keeping a great range of beers, including many local brews.

Derek also singled out the popular Tuesday night Quiz Nights and live music every Thursday evening.

In response, Allan Brown thanked CAMRA and all the Lord C's customers for their support. He said that he and Jo had now been at the pub for over three years and had definitely made Audlem their home. "You've got us for a long time" he added to loud cheers.

CAMRA member Colin Donald travelled to Audlem for the presentation while local CAMRA member, Will Williams, who had nominated the Lord Combermere for this year's award, was there to celebrate the pub's success.
