ODDFELLOWS TIMES SPRING ISSUE - MARCH TO MAY 2026

Smile and Say Cheese! For Cheshire Day Every year on Cheshire Day (30th March), we proudly shine a spotlight on the incredible local makers and suppliers who help shape the Oddfellows experience. At Oddfellows Chester, celebrating Cheshire isn’t just a date in the diary — it’s part of who we are. From passionate producers and creative artisans to flavour-obsessed foodies and craft drinks makers, we love championing the people right on our doorstep who care deeply about quality, provenance, and doing things properly. Cheshire Day gives us the perfect excuse to raise a glass, share their stories, and say a heartfelt thank you to a few of our very favourites — the local legends who bring character, creativity, and a little bit of magic to everything we do. www.visitcheshire.com/locations/cheshire-day

DAVID JOINSON QUALITY MEATS The Oddfellows team has proudly worked alongside multi-award-winning local butcher David Joinson for many years. David and his exceptional team share our passion for great food and are always on hand to advise, collaborate, and get just as excited as we do when it comes to menu planning. Together, we create truly special celebratory dishes — the kind that bring family and friends together around the table and turn moments into memories. David is not only a trusted partner of Oddfellows, but a true champion of food across Chester, Cheshire, and North Wales. More than a supplier, David is a friend, a collaborator, and very much a part of the Oddfellows foodie family. www.facebook.com/DavidJoinsonQM

WEETWOOD BREWERY & DISTILLERY We’re also proud to work with Weetwood, a multi-award-winning brewery and distillery based right here in Cheshire. Independent, family-owned and family-run, their ethos mirrors our own — from caring for their people and community to minimising environmental impact. At their purpose-built, sustainable site, Weetwood brew a carefully crafted range of permanent beers alongside seasonal specials and one-off creations, and distil their own premium spirits from grain. It’s this dedication to quality, creativity, and craftsmanship that makes their beers and spirits the perfect match for the Oddfellows experience. Together, we believe great drinks add to the enjoyment of life — and we’re delighted to share them with you. www.weetwoodales.co.uk

THE CHEESE WEDGE At Oddfellows Chester, we’re passionate about working with brilliant local producers who share our love of flavour, quality, and doing things right. One such favourite is The Cheese Wedge. A true purveyor of quality cheeses, The Cheese Wedge champions provenance, craftsmanship, and exceptional taste. Their carefully curated selections celebrate both classic favourites and more adventurous finds, all chosen with care and knowledge. They also create wedding cheese cakes made to order — a stunning (and delicious) alternative to tradition. Layered with characterful cheeses and finished with thoughtful detail, they’re designed to be shared, talked about, and thoroughly enjoyed. Pair them with their beautifully matched chutneys, jams, and marmalades, and you’ve got something truly special. Our partnership is built on shared values: supporting local producers, respecting ingredients, and believing that great food should bring people together. It’s a genuine foodie friendship, and one we’re very proud to celebrate at Oddfellows. www.facebook.com/TheCheeseWedgeChesterMarket

THREE WRENS GIN DISTILLERY In the market town of Nantwich, three friends set out with a simple idea: make gin properly, with care, curiosity, and character. Today, Three Wrens Gin continues to do exactly that — crafting small- batch gins built on bold botanicals, thoughtful experimentation, and a deep respect for flavour. At Oddfellows Chester, we’re proud to pour their spirits behind the bar. It’s a partnership rooted in shared values: championing local makers, celebrating provenance, and believing that great drinks should tell a story. From the first sip to the final flourish, Three Wrens brings a sense of place, passion, and personality to every glass — and we wouldn’t have it any other way. www.threewrensgin.com

WILD FLOWER DESIGN Just beneath our feet — quite literally — sits one of our most loved partners, Wild Floral Design. With their beautiful shop located directly below Oddfellows Chester, it’s only natural that we’ve grown more than just neighbourly fondness. Their flowers are always stunning — thoughtful, seasonal, and full of personality — but it’s the team that truly makes them special. Always welcoming, always smiling, and always up for a friendly chat (especially when the conversation turns to our resident ghost, Joseph…), they bring warmth and creativity to everything they do. From everyday blooms to unforgettable wedding florals, Wild Floral Design shares our love of beauty, storytelling, and a little bit of magic — making them not just a supplier, but a cherished part of the Oddfellows family. www.wildfloraldesign.uk
