The Oddfellows Arms, on Church Street in Eccles has re-opened on Thursday 30th November, following a major investment of £270,000. The pub, which is part of the Proper Pubs division at Admiral Taverns, has undergone a complete transformation and now boasts a brand-new look and fresh décor to appeal to all the local community. Inside, the pub features a brand-new bar, flooring and furniture throughout. Whilst outside, the Oddfellows Arm’s garden has been completely transformed, including new-signage, lighting and a new beer terrace to ensure use all year round. To celebrate the reopening, customers enjoyed a weekend packed of entertainment, including a live DJ, karaoke and prosecco reception. Operator of the Oddfellows Arms, Claire Woodcock, said: “Opening night was fantastic, it was amazing to see all our customers, old and new, coming to see what the pub has to offer! The feedback we received from our community was amazing, and we can’t wait to see them again soon!” On top of the wide range of drinks offers, including cocktails, wine and fizz promotions, the Oddfellows Arms has a full sports package with Sky Sports, TNT and horse racing. Customers can also expect to enjoy frequent entertainment such as quiz nights and karaoke, as well as a regular schedule of charity events to support local causes. Matthew Gurney, Operations Director for Proper Pubs, said: “The refurbishment at the Oddfellows Arms looks fantastic – the team has worked really hard to ensure it is a success for the local community. On behalf of the Proper Pubs team, we would like to wish our community hero, Claire, every success for the future in making the Oddfellows Arms a fantastic hub of the community.” Proper Pubs is always supporting its communities through an array of events and charity fundraising initiatives, from Christmas selection box collections to local foodbank donations and charity walks. Proper Pubs recently installed its 130th defibrillator across its estate with the help of its locals through hosting different fundraising events.
