WHAT. A. MATCH. ⚽🇬🇧

We had a right ol’ beano last night, and England are through to the quarter-finals! Way to go, England! We’re still recovering, frankly, but there’s no rest for the footy faithful…

We’re kicking things off early today with the bar opening at 3pm for Portugal vs Spain, so feel free to develop a mysterious little stomach ache, excuse yourself from whatever nonsense is keeping you away, and get stuck in. 😉

Then tonight, we steady ourselves for USA vs Belgium at 8pm, and it’s shaping up to be another cracking night of World Cup action. Go USA! 🇺🇸⚽

We’ll have the always fantastic Shepherd’s Pie on tonight, plenty of board games to keep you entertained until kick-off, and lots and lots of delicious concoctions from the bar to keep the nerves at bay.

So grab your mates, bring your best cheering voice, and come join us in rooting for America’s team!

Come tarry awhile! 🍻⚽🥧

We hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday weekend! 🇬🇧⚽🍻

We are officially excited, nervous, and yes… we’ve got the collywobbles ahead of England vs Mexico at 8pm tonight. It’s going to be a proper big day of sport here at The Cheshire Arms!

We’ll have Wimbledon on the tele this afternoon, followed by Norway vs Brazil at 4pm, and then the BIG one: England vs Mexico at 8pm. What a day!

The kitchen is serving up the ever-popular Shepherd’s Pie, along with Chef Simon’s delectable Watermelon Gazpacho—cool, refreshing, and just the thing for this hot weekend.

The drinks are cold, the pub is cold—temperature-wise, of course; we’re as warm and welcoming as ever. 😉

And don’t forget: the kitchen will be closing a wee bit early tonight at 7:45 sharp so Chef Simon can catch the match. Priorities, folks.

Come in, grab your seat, and tarry awhile. And if you want prime seats for today’s matches, give us a call or make a reservation!

Happy 4th of July and Happy 250th Birthday, USA! 🇺🇸✨

We hope your day is filled with fun, laughter, family, friends, and maybe just enough fireworks to make the dogs mildly suspicious.

We know it’s hot out there, so if you need a little place of respite, we are here for you—with the AC on, the bar stocked and cold, and the hospitality overflowing.

Today feels like the perfect day to celebrate what makes America so special: the incredible mix of cultures, stories, traditions, foods, music, art, and people that make up this big, beautiful, slightly bonkers country. And what better way to do that than with the World Cup on the tele, cheering on teams from around the world as fans come together for the love of the beautiful game? ⚽

Today’s matches:
Canada vs Morocco at 1pm
France vs Paraguay at 5pm

And yes, we’ve got some proper deliciousness coming out of the kitchen. Chef Simon’s Watermelon Gazpacho is on the menu—cool, refreshing, and exactly what this scorcher calls for. We’re featuring Fisherman’s Pie for lunch, followed by the fantastic Rabbit Pie for dinner.

And don’t forget—England takes on Mexico tomorrow at 8pm! Come early and get your food orders in, as we’ll be closing the kitchen at 7:45 sharp so Chef can enjoy the match too. Priorities, folks. 😉

So come cool off, raise a glass, cheer on the world, and celebrate the day with us at the pub.

Come tarry awhile! 🍻🥧⚽

It is obviously too hot to do anything outdoors, so why not come relax at the pub instead? ☀️🍻

We’ve got the World Cup on the tele, icy cold drinks behind the bar, and delicious food coming straight out of the kitchen. Sounds like another cracking evening to be had at your local, if you ask us. 😉

And Chef Simon has made an absolute doozy for this scorcher: Watermelon Gazpacho, served chilled, refreshing, and packed with all the lovely hydration your overheated little body is currently begging for.

Plus, we’ve got all the other pub goodies you’ve been thinking about—because let’s be honest, soup is lovely, but sometimes you also need a pie, a pint, or something fried.

So come escape the heat, settle in, and tarry awhile.

We’ll be here! ⚽🥣🍺

We think this is a fantastic idea 💐🥀🌻

One English town decided to stop treating every patch of grass like a golf course.

Instead of mowing miles of roadside grass over and over again, Rotherham replaced long stretches with wildflowers.

The result became known as a “River of Flowers.”

Eight miles of colour.

Road verges that were once plain grass turned into habitat for bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators.

And the best part?

It did not just help nature.

It also saved money.

By cutting back on constant mowing, the town reduced maintenance costs by thousands of pounds.

Less mowing.

More flowers.

More wildlife.

Lower costs.

It is one of those ideas that seems almost too simple.

For years, councils have spent money cutting grass short just so roadsides look tidy.

But when Rotherham let nature do more of the work, the verges became more beautiful, more useful, and better for the environment.

Sometimes helping wildlife does not mean building something new.

Sometimes it means stopping the machines, letting the flowers grow, and giving nature a little space to come back.

Well, it’s a scorcher out there! ☀️🔥

What better way to spend the afternoon and evening than tucked inside your favourite local, where the AC is pumping, the bar is serving up all your chilled favourites, and the kitchen—though approximately the temperature of the sun—is still working away to make sure everything is up to s***f.

We’re still riding high from that USA match last night—what a bit of World Cup magic! And the good news is, we’ve got even more matches on the tele today to keep the excitement going.

And for dinner? Oh, we’ve got something properly special: the absolutely incredible Rabbit Pie with creamy gravy and sweet potatoes, all wrapped up in our house-made rough puff pastry. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds.

So come escape the heat, grab something cold, settle in, and let us take care of you for a fun-filled, cool evening at the pub.

We can’t wait to see you! 🍻⚽

07/01/2026

Alright folks — we are properly excited for England after that one, and now we ready ourselves for the USA match tonight! 🇺🇸⚽

We’ll be opening the doors at 7pm, with the cheering, shouting, nail-biting, and general World Cup magic kicking off at 8pm.

We’ll have a shortened menu this evening, but don’t panic — all your favourites are still on the list. The bar will be ready, the tele will be on, and we’ll be fully prepared to make some noise.

So grab your mates, bring your lucky shirt, and come join us for an evening of footy, food, drinks, and magic at the pub.



Go USA! 🍻⚽

Well, well, well… looks like the rain has decided to unpack its bags and stay awhile. How very British of it. 🌧️🇬🇧

Not to worry—there’s no better place to hide from a rainy day than your local pub, and lucky for you, we know a rather good one.

We’ll have South Africa vs Canada on the tele at 3pm, plenty of board games to keep the whole family entertained, and food coming out of the kitchen that could make even the grumpiest rain cloud perk up a bit.

The cocktails are cracking, the beers are cold, and the wine list is full of delicious little surprises—so really, the weather is just giving you permission to come sit down and enjoy yourself.

We’re kicking things off with the beloved Fisherman’s Pie, and later this afternoon we’ll be rolling out a proper treat: Rabbit Pie with creamy gravy and sweet potatoes, wrapped up in our house-made rough puff pastry. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds.

So grab your umbrella, pretend you had outdoor plans, and come let us take care of you. Footy, games, pies, pints, and no need to mow the lawn—sounds like a win to us.

Come tarry awhile! 🍻🥧
