We’re delighted to that we are finalists in the Publican Awards!

We are finalists in the Best Operations Teams category, which refers to our wonderful support team who have been nominated due to their effectiveness in innovation, leadership and business success.
Please wish us the best of luck for the future interviews and announcement in March.
This week has been an exciting one for Almond Family Pubs. We’ve been endorsed not one, not twice, but 3 times! And by some very famous faces…
On Friday 27th September GM Dave and the team were visited by local legends ‘The Blossoms’ to celebrate their 4th Number 1 album, a massive achievement and very well-deserved… Well done guys.
As you can see our General Manager, Dave was only too happy to take a photo with the guys.


The Spread Eagle have also got their fair share of fame….The Manchester Evening News recently asked their followers to name their favourite spots when came to a carvery or a Sunday roast. They received hundreds and hundreds of responses and our very own Spread Eagle got an honourable mention, with one customer saying “so much choice, meats, veg, potatoes and gravy”. Another said: “The staff are all so lovely and friendly. They can’t do enough.”
Well done team Spread!
Last but definitely not least… The Jolly sailor was recently mentioned by the VERY famous Jason Manford. Jason Manford is local to the area and has been spotted a few times in the Jolly, enjoying a carvery or participating in our weekly quiz.. When recently interviewed, Jason was asked his favourite pub and after a thought, he said the Jolly Sailor!! We’re so pleased to be mentioned and we look forward to welcoming him back soon!
- Service Charge
We add a discretionary 10% service charge to your bill as most of us now use cards over cash. Our fantastic team receive 100% off tips. We’re more than happy to take this off, just let us know. - Changes to your booking
If you find yourself running more than 15 minutes late or would like to make any changes to your reservation, please call us and ask to speak to the manager on duty. If you are more than 15 minutes late, and we haven’t heard from you, we may have to give your table to someone else. - Dogs
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in our bar area all day Monday- Wednesday, and Thursday – Saturday, until 7pm.
We are unable to take bookings for parties with dogs as our only bookable areas are dog-free, as we are a pub at heart, we don’t believe in taking bookings in our bar area. If you are wanting to dine with your dog, please just come along and we will find you the next available table. - Your table
Your table is required back 2 hours after your booking time. While we will always do our best to accommodate your preferred table, regrettably, this isn’t always possible. - Dining outside
If you are looking to dine alfresco, just come down to the pub and speak to the host on the day. Our outside tables are seated on a first-come, first-served basis and are not able to be reserved. - Dates not available
We may not accept bookings for certain times/dates & busy sittings. If you cannot see your preferred date or time, please call the pub and we will be happy to check availability for you. - Sundays
If you are reserving for a Sunday, you will be dining from our Sunday menu and prices may vary. (The majority of our special offers & our vouchers are not available on Sundays). - Accessibility
If you require access for a wheelchair or any high chairs, then please call us and speak to the duty manager.

For our 10th One Small Step Pub Walk, we are not charging entry fee for anyone with PWS and their immediate families (i.e, parents & siblings) – Please email Hannah@almond-pubs.co.uk to confirm your place.
How much is it for children?
This year we have changed our pricing for children of primary school age (under 11). We have taken off the £10 donation that goes straight to charity and are instead charging a more pocket-friendly £8.
Infants under 4 are free of charge; infant t-shirts are available to purchase for £5. Please contact Hannah for yours – Hannah@almond-pubs.co.uk or buy on the morning at the Fletchers Arms (sizes may be limited)
Is the route pushchair friendly?
The route was planned to be scenic and as enjoyable as possible and, as a result, is mainly off-road. There are styles, narrow/ overgrown pathways, and uneven surfaces…just to make it that little bit more challenging! The route may therefore be difficult for cyclists, wheelchair users and children in prams/ buggies (although definitely doable with some helping hands!).
If you wish to join us at a later point we suggest that the Spread Eagle or Puss in Boots would be more suitable for anyone worried about the off-road parts. There will be no charge for anyone only completing part of the walk, however, please note that all refreshments and food will need to be paid for as normal. For anyone wanting to get in the spirit, One Small Step T-shirts will be available to purchase for £5 at all of the pubs. All money from the sale of the t-shirts will go straight to the FPWR UK.
We would recommend if only completing a shorter version that it is better to complete the later sections so you get to cross the finish line and enjoy the party atmosphere at Jolly Sailor.
I still have my T-shirt from last year, can I wear this?
If you have your t-shirt from last year then please do bring it along to wear as this will save the charity significant money.
Are there vegetarian/ vegan/ gluten free items available on the day?
Yes of course! Please let us know your requirements in the sign-up form so that we can arrange for this to be available at the Puss in Boots ( You will be given a different coloured ticket so that the pub can easily see your requirements).
I am no longer able to make it, can I get my money back?
Yes of course, please just let us know so that we can arrange for your payment to be refunded. In the past we’ve found many of you have been generous when unable to attend and have donated your fee (thank you!!). If you’re unable to attend but would still like to donate your fee then please let us know as soon as you can. This way we can easily ensure the full fee goes to charity and we may be able to fill your spaces again.
Some people in the group are starting later, what should we do?
Just let us know, you can either pick up their t-shirt and meal ticket from registration or we can arrange for it to be left at a pub of your choice.
How can I get sponsors?
We’ve found the best way to fundraise is through Just Giving. You can fundraise through Just Giving in two ways.
1 – Set up your own Just Giving page. This way you’ll know how much you personally have contributed to the charity.
2 – Share our general Just Giving page between your friends and family. This saves you the job of setting it up but will make it more difficult for you to work out how much you’ve raised.
Our general Just Giving page is: https://www.justgiving.com/page/almond-pubs-osspubwalk2024
You can download a paper sponsor form by following this link and print your own or pop in to one of the pubs, where we will have them available for you to pick up.
I don’t want to pay online; can I pay cash?
Yes, please just pop in to any Almond Family Pub and speak to the manager who can sign you up and take your payment

We are delighted to be organising our 10th annual charity walk for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research UK this July. So far with our combined efforts we have raised a staggering £148,976 and we would love to continue to see this figure grow. The research the FPWR UK finances is imperative to making the lives of those affected by Prader-Willi Syndrome more manageable.
Not only is this a wonderful day for our pubs and the local community but it’s a great chance to catch up with friends (whilst getting your steps in!) and to raise money for this important charity that is so close to our hearts.
This year’s event is on Saturday 13th July and will follow the same route as last year.
We will be starting slightly earlier this year so we can start celebrating a little earlier at the Jolly Sailor. Registration will open at 9.30am at the Fletchers Arms, ready to set off at 10.30am.



The day will include a pub pit stop at the Spread Eagle, lunch at the Puss in Boots, and finishing with a celebration party at the Jolly Sailor.
There will be a raffle, DJ, bouncy castle & more…
We really hope to see some familiar faces there again, as well as many new walkers. We would love you to invite friends and family and help us make the 10th event even more memorable!
If you have any questions at all please visit our FAQs page or contact Hannah – Hannah@almond-pubs.co.uk
