Bear Inns treated staff at The Swan, Tarporley and The Lion, Malpas, to paintballing, pizza, and an awards extravaganza.

The fun-filled day out was to mark team achievements.

Woody Barlow, director of Bear Inns, said: "We wanted to thank everyone for their hard work this year and had a great day fostering team spirit and camaraderie and even enjoyed some karaoke!

"It was wonderful to see everyone having fun and bonding outside of the workplace.

"The award ceremony was a fantastic way to recognise the hard work and dedication of our team members with awards ranging from ‘team of the year’ to ‘funniest team member’, ‘best newcomer’ and many more.

"We're already looking forward to our next event!"
