Covid-19 – Pub and Club Status – Updated for Tier 3

**** Update **** 24-Oct-2020 ***

Greater Manchester is now in Tier 3 and licenced premised are only able to serve alcohol as an accompaniment to a substantial meal.

Our Pubs have reacted to this in different ways. Some pubs, even those with substantial food offerings have closed or switched to off-sales only, whilst others where previously only light snacks where available now offer substantial meals.

Be aware that pubs and clubs are operating under strict rules. You may be required to leave contact details and confirm that all of a group are part of the same bubble. Booking may be required and is often recommended as establishments are operating at reduced capacity. The “Read More” link may have more information but again please check.

If you find any errors please tell us about it using the “Pub News” drop-down on the Contact Form or by e-mailing whatpub (at) thcamra.org.uk

For details for the whole of Greater Manchester see https://greatermanchester.camra.org.uk/pulling-together/#pubs

Clicking on the Name will take you to the establishment’s entry on “Whatpub”.

New Brew2You APP

CAMRA has launched the “Brew2You” APP for Apple and Google Android devices

https://brew2you.co.uk/

Brew2You was created by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) to support pubs and breweries during a time where trade is low and to help reduce wastage of beer.

The APP is a one stop shop allowing you to search, order and pay for ale in one place

Our aim is to bring people and great beer from great local businesses together.

Representatives needed for Flixton Neighbourhood Forum

A neighbourhood plan is being prepared for the Flixton area https://www.trafford.gov.uk/planning/strategic-planning/Development-Plan/neighbourhood-planning.aspx This link enables access to information on the boundary of the designated and the rationale for the plan.

A neighbourhood plan is prepared by local people to influence future planning decisions. Once approved, it is taken account by the local planning authority when making decisions on planning applications. The key issue to be addressed in this plan will be the allocation of land for housing development and its impact on the greenbelt. However, a key concern for CAMRA will be any policies that support or detract from the provision of local facilities, including pubs. Certainly any proposals to see pubs and/or pub car parks allocated for housing redevelopment need to be strongly resisted.

Altrincham already has an approved neighbourhood plan for Altrincham town centre. This sets out a future vision for the area, as well as including policies that support the provision of local facilities, including public houses. Tim Field, Trafford & Hulme’s pub protection officer was able to join the forum set up to prepare this plan but will be unable to play a similar role in preparing the Flixton plan as membership is restricted to local residents and/or those working in the designated area (which includes Trafford General Hospital).

If any Trafford & Hulme CAMRA Branch members living or working in the area would be willing to become a representative on the Flixton neighbourhood Forum, Tim would be willing to provide advice and support for you in that role. Please let me know as soon as possible as to whether you would be interested in joining the forum and we can approach its convenor, Paul Ashworth.

Regards

George Elmslie – Branch Chair

COVID-19 Pulling Together

COVID-19 has temporarily robbed us of our pubs and inns but some of our entrepreneurial local pubs and bars are keeping the beer and cider coming by offering low contact take out and delivery services. You can help support your favourite local business during this time of crisis, whilst adhering to the Government advice on social distancing measures. As the odd shape of the Branch Boundries means the nearest outlet may be in a neigbouring branch, I have included a link to the Greater Manchester page which listing all outlets in the Region:-

CAMRA and Covid 19

ALL CAMRA EVENTS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED (INCLUDING THE GREAT BRITISH BEER FESTIVAL)

Camra is looking into ways in which we can continue to support pubs and clubs during the
Covid-19 closure period. One of these ways is an addition to ‘What Pub’.

Go to whatpub.com and tick the box ‘only show pubs offering takeaways or other additional services’ and enter your town name in the search box.

This may give you a listing of those pubs taking part in the initiative, although at this stage
we are not yet aware of any pubs in our branch area taking part.

If you are aware of any pubs in our branch area offering this facility can you please
email Graham Privett with the details He will make the necessary changes on What Pub

Graham’s email address is :

pooc.poocenohp@ttevirp.maharg

Above all do not take any unnecessary risks and continue to follow government guidelines.

Stay safe !!

Cheers

Ben

Bolton CAMRA Social to support the flood affected pubs in Hebden Bridge – Possible date: Saturday 2nd May 2020

After hearing of the floods in Hebden Bridge caused by Storm Ciara earlier this year it was decided that we would run a branch social to the town to show our support. Obviously, we can’t do this until the pubs are open again.

I have been in touch with the Chair of Halifax and Calderdale branch and as of the end of February some of the pubs were ready to open but many were not.

We have pencilled in Saturday 2 May for our trip. I will be in touch with the Branch chair about individual pubs and hopefully by the beginning of May the pubs will be open again.

It would be good if several branch members could join us and we can meet up with some members of Halifax and Calderdale branch.

Travel times and pubs to visit will be on the website once I have more information
