Pub & Club Annual Awards
While the branch celebrates four Pub Of The Season winners throughout the year, these often go to long standing pubs and bars which are awarded for longevity of excellence. Starting from 2013, the branch decided it wanted to also recognise pubs that excel in specific areas.
The branch presents four annual awards in addition to existing Pub of The Season and Pub Of The Year awards:
Best Newcomer
Most Improved Pub Or Club
Best Community Pub
Best LocAle Pub or Club

This year we are lucky enough to have not one but two pubs in out Most Improved Category - the Auld Chimp in Urmston and Electrik in Chorlton
Our inability to separate these two means we have to have 2 awards nights - the first on the 9th April for the Auld Chimp, followed by a tour of some other pubs in Urmston, the second on the 30th April at Electrik in Chorlton (where, no doubt, we will also visit some nearby pubs). Awards usually start around 8pm
The Auld Chimp, formerly the Steamhouse, is part of the Brew Chimp empire and features, you guessed it, Irish Ales amongst more local offerings.
Electrik, a long standing part of Chorlton's Beer scene, has upped it game with 3 real ales after many years struggling to sell 2, Jaipur and Sonoma usually are present along with a rotating guest from Red Willow or other, slightly more local, breweries.

After a long and unavoidable delay the Salutation was finally presented with the award for the most improved pub 2020. A sympathetic refurbishment of the interior took place in summer of 2014 which saw a many of the original features retained keeping the character and ambience of the pub intact. In 2019 there was a further refresh and "spruce up" and which give the interior a "fresher feel" without destroying the atmosphere of the pub. They now offers a selection of typically four cask ales from Bollington Brewery and a wider selection of keg making this a "goto" destination. Here we see George the Branch Chair presenting the award to Ben and Lilly of the Salutation.

The Trafford & Hulme branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has voted the Old Abbey Taphouse its Community Pub of the Year for 2022. Here we see Tim Field the Branch Pub Protection Officer presenting the award to social entrepreneur Rachele Evaroa and the staff of the pub.
In presenting Tim said:-
“Ever since the takeover by the STEAM hubs and pubs community interest company, the branch has been impressed with the progress made at the Old Abbey and how it has reached out to a range of communities including local people, the university, musicians, performers, and, of course, real ale drinkers. It has also highlighted links with past communities such as the former residents of Greenheys and has celebrated the boxer Len Johnson who openly challenged the race bar in the late 1940’s. Most impressive of all, however, has been the pub’s involvement in the provision of regular ‘pay as you can’ meals for local people delivered by volunteers; a service started during the dark days of the Covid pandemic and now continuing as people try to deal with cost-of-living issues. All involved in this array of community activity can be extremely proud of these achievements and the local CAMRA branch is delighted to present the pub with this award.”
