First Team
What a great day once again. A dry and sunny day when the Treasure Hunters rocked up to collect their clues before heading off into the lanes around the area. A record 13 teams took part, an appropriate number for our 13th ‘Lucky For Some’ Treasure Hunt! Thank you to everyone who took part. We all hope you all enjoyed the day.
The 13 teams competed very well for the title of Bulls Head Treasure Hunt Champions! Everyone enjoyed the drive out for 42 clues, as well as the random pub questions.
This is of course, the time when the 3p Car Club and the Goodfellows Car Club, both go ‘head-to-head’ to be treasure Hunt champions depending on which car gets first place!
In third place, winning a £40 Gift Card for the Bulls Head were the ‘Dumb and Dumber’ Team. In second place, picking up a £60 Gift Card for the Bulls Head, were team ‘Brum and Coke’. Well done all.
The Winners and 2024 13th anniversary Champions were the ‘Where’s Woody?’ Team in an Aston! A massive well done to Joe and Laura who have won a £200 Gift Card to use in all our pubs, kindly supplied by our sponsors Lucky Saint.
Pub Plates were served up by Head Chef Andy, with our compliments, as a reward to the competing team’s endeavours and we raised a total of £140 for the Air Ambulance.
Since the very first Bully Treasure Hunt, way back in 2011, the hunt has always been about the rivalry between the 3P (Porsche Pub and Pint) Club and the Good Fellows Car Club and this year the trophy once again went to the Good Fellows with ‘Where’s Woody’ in their Aston Martin making it 7-6 in favour of the 3P Club so the Good Fellows are catching up!
Thank you again to all our enthusiastic competitors with two ladies dressed as Bavarian Fräuleins, all brought a smile to proceedings, it was great fun seeing everyone and we look forward to seeing you all in 2025.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to Lucky Saint for helping us put up the most marvellous prizes for the Treasure Hunt.
See you next year!

Our pub company Cheshire Cat Pubs and Inns, owned by Tim and Mary, is celebrating again after two of their pubs achieved great accolades at the Pub and Bar Magazine Awards in London on Wednesday 26th June 2024. The Cholmondeley Arms and the Fitzherbert Arms made the journey to the awards having been chosen as County winners of Cheshire and Staffordshire respectively.
Cholmondeley Arms Manager Helen and Deputy manager Leigh arrived in London to see if the Cholmondeley Arms Team could go one further and win the Northwest region. Great news! The Chum won it! We now have the honour of ‘Best in the Northwest’ back within our Company Cheshire Cat. We held the honour previously with our sister pub the Church Inn back in 2021. Owners Tim and Mary were at the awards to help the teams celebrate!
The Fitzherbert Arms meanwhile had already won ‘Best Pub in Staffordshire’ for the third year running. The Fitz Manager Rebecca and Head Chef Connor headed to London to see if the Fitzherbert Arms Team could go one further and win the West Midlands region. To their complete surprise they went one better and won the honour of the National ‘Best Taste’ Award sponsored by Tyrells Crisps, which recognised most notably the great food performance under the stewardship of Head Chef Connor and his kitchen team and of course the effort of the entire team who make the Fitz the great pub it is today.
Please check out the photo of the entire team at the awards and you’ll notice the enormous bag of Tyrells crisps which has a photo of the Fitzherbert Arms across the front! It was fun carrying that around London after the awards! All in all, it was a great night in London, and we are all very proud of Rebecca, Connor and the entire Fitz team and Helen and Leigh and the entire Cholmondeley Arms team.
