There's something special about walking into a pub where the landlady genuinely knows your name and remembers how you like your drink. For the regulars at The Saddle in Horwich, that's exactly the experience they get thanks to Chantelle Jones, a 35-year-old from Ellesmere Port who's been running this Amber Taverns establishment for nearly four years.
Chantelle's love affair with the pub industry started early. She's been working in pubs since her teenage years, gaining invaluable experience and honing her skills in hospitality. But it wasn't until she made the move to Horwich that she discovered her true calling as a landlady. "It's been brilliant," she says about her time at The Saddle, and you can hear the genuine passion in those words.
What makes The Saddle stand out in the community isn't just the perfectly poured pints or the welcoming bar staff—it's Chantelle's commitment to creating a space where everyone feels at home. Whether you're a regular who's been coming for years or a newcomer stepping through the doors for the first time, the atmosphere is warm, inclusive, and genuinely friendly.
Under Chantelle's leadership, The Saddle has become more than just a place to grab a drink. It's evolved into a genuine community hub where locals can gather, socialize, and feel valued. Her four years at the pub have clearly left a mark on both the establishment and the town itself.
What's particularly impressive is how Chantelle has managed to maintain that personal touch while running a successful business. In an era where many pubs are closing their doors, The Saddle is thriving—a testament to her dedication and understanding of what makes a pub truly great.
Being named Pub of the Week is well-deserved recognition for Chantelle's hard work and the excellent service she provides to her community. If you haven't visited The Saddle yet, this is your sign to stop by and experience what everyone's talking about.
