Regional Manager's Thoughts The pub has a very well-established wet trade and food from locals of all ages who visit for good quality cask ales, this is a revenue stream which could be developed further. This pub would suit a great community publican, with food experience. Food is a must as current customers are locals who enjoy sampling the excellent choice of beers and lagers, and playing in the pub teams, Live sport has a proven good draw. We are looking for a successful publican with catering experience to grow the business through the development of the wet & food offer. Surrounding Area Wilberfoss is a beautiful village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on the east bank of the River Derwent and astride the Escrick Moraine. The Oddfellows Arms is situated on the north side of the A1079 approximately seven miles east of York city centre and 11 miles north-west of Market Weighton. Wilberfoss is surrounded by other villages all of which have a small local pub, but as the Oddfellows Arms is located on the main York to Hull Road there is plenty of passing traffic which the pub should benefit from.
