Congratulations to Costello’s Bar Altrincham
Are the winners of our Pub Of The Season Autumn 2023.
The award was presented to the Manager and Assistant Manager, Jack and Olly, by our outgoing and new Chair.
At the time of the presentation Jack was serving his last few shifts as Manager. Lucy from Costello’s Bar Times Square, Warrington, has taken over the top job at Costello’s Bar Altrincham.
It is very much a case of welcome back Lucy! Lucy used work in their Altrincham bar before taking on the role as Manager at their Times Square bar. Trafford and Hulme CAMRA wish Jack all the best for the future after serving customers for 12 years at Costello’s Bar Altrincham.
This is the third award we have presented to this venue this year, in January they were presented our Special Award for being in the Good Beer Guide for 10 consecutive years and then in May they were awarded our Runner-Up Pub Of The Year 2023. Plus, all the other awards that the bar and brewery has won over the years.
Well done to all the team!

The pub should exude a sense of welcome and the experience of your visit should leave you wanting to return.

Best LocAle Pub or Club

Cider Pub Of The Year Article Count: 6
The Cider & Perry Pub Of The Year award recognises a pub, bar or club that has best excelled in the promotion of real traditional draught ciders and perries appropriately served. Quality of the cider and perry offered is the most important criteria alongside overall promotion of real cider and perry and cider producers by the pub (e.g. posters and literature in the pub; tasting events; cider and perry pub festivals). A branch cider/perry pub of the year should offer a good range of quality real cider and perry, and ideally the choice over time should include a range of styles from different cider producers.
