The pub and location
The Oddfellows Arms is ready for a talented publican to take the lead. This is a pub with real character, sitting proudly on Frodsham Street in Chester. It’s housed in a beautiful 19th-century brick building, full of charm with timber beams, stained-glass windows, and a stone-flagged floor. A recent refurbishment has made it even more inviting.
Step inside and you’ll find a warm, welcoming space. The bar greets you on the right, with a snug tucked away at the back and a larger room opposite that’s perfect for live music, quizzes, and karaoke. Locals love it. Students flock to it. Visitors find it by chance and come back repeatedly.
This is a pub that buzzes with life. It’s surrounded by Chester’s historic sights and sits on the edge of the old town, just a short walk from the city centre. It’s a place to relax, to celebrate, to enjoy a cold pint or a well-priced glass of wine. The atmosphere is friendly, the service is warm, and the crowd is always up for a fantastic time.
Oddfellows is more than a pub. It’s a community hub. It’s a place people look forward to visiting. If you’re someone who knows how to create great experiences, build local connections, and run a pub with pride, this is your chance. Oddfellows Arms is waiting for you.
