Welcome to the Feversham Arms

After buying the Feversham Arms in 2007 it is now time to move on to the next chapter in my life outside of the dale. Dean and l are moving near Whitby , where I shall hopefully find another job working a lot less hours, so I have time to enjoy all the things I never have time to do. Farndale has been a special place to live, where I have met a lot of lovely people, made lots of great friends and the pub has always been a lot more than just a job to me. Evenings spent with locals in the bar telling stories, the laughter, the bad jokes are all that made it so special and gave me a lot of memories to treasure. The support of customers returning time and time again, whether just calling in for a quick drink to say hello and share their news, coming for a meal with friends or staying over you have all made it memorable and I'll miss so many of you. My excellent team of staff who have supported me over the years are truly amazing and I couldn't have done it without them. So, from the end of October Farndale Estate will be operating the pub. I'm sure you will see some great improvements as they do a few upgrades both inside and out. Thank you so much to all you lovely people who have made my job a pleasure. I'll leave with a full heart, fond memories, and I'm sure I'll still see many of you out and about, or when I call back for a drink at the other side of the bar. Rachel XX

Feversham Arms Update Farndale Estate The Farndale Estate is sorry to write to say that Rachel will be leaving the Feversham Arms at the end of October having decided now is the time to start a new chapter. Running a pub is a full-time role in every sense and for the last 19 years Rachel has given everything to run and operate the pub through challenging times including a recession and Covid. While we are sorry to see Rachel go it is clear the move and fresh start is something she is excited about and we wish her every success in the future, thanking her for all her years at the Feversham. We trust we will see Rachel and Dean back in Farndale and they will not become strangers. On a personal note, Rachel and Dean have been great neighbours welcoming my family when we moved next door. Parts of the pub do require work and refurbishment, and this was already being planned for January and February 2027. We will begin the task of advertising for a new landlord immediately, but it is likely there will be a period of closure. The Farndale Estate is committed to there being a traditional pub in Farndale for the community and visitors to the area. I will update when we have further news. We will be arranging a proper send off and a thank you for Rachel before she departs. Christian Walker Estate Director
