Are you a talented operator with a passion for food and a thirst for a promising, new business opportunity? If so the Dawnay Arms could be your perfect fit.
Nestled in the heart of a vibrant North Yorkshire village, Shipton by Beningbrough is perfectly situated to make your business thrive.
As you enter, there’s a welcoming bar servery, where locals gather and stories flow as freely as the ale. To your right, a bustling restaurant area awaits, perfect for sharing your culinary creativity. To the left, a cosy, intimate dining space offers a quieter retreat for couples and small groups. And tucked away at the back? A snug lounge where familiar faces return day after day, making it the unofficial living room of the village.
Step outside and discover the crown jewel: a beautifully appointed beer garden. With space for alfresco dining, summer drinks, and larger community events, this garden is ripe for transformation into a seasonal hotspot. Think live music, garden feasts, and family-friendly festivals.
The Dawnay Arms York.
The pub already enjoys a stellar reputation for food, with Sunday Lunch being a weekly pilgrimage for locals and visitors alike. With your vision and energy, there’s room to elevate the menu, expand offerings, and turn this into a destination for food lovers from Thirsk to York.
Positioned on the A19, just six miles from the historic city of York and a stone’s throw from the market town of Thirsk, the pub benefits from excellent visibility and access. Surrounded by picturesque countryside and a cluster of caravan parks, it draws steady footfall, especially in the warmer months when tourists and day-trippers are eager for a pint and a plate.
Ideal Publican
We’re looking for an experienced food operator to bring the Dawnay Arms to life.
Whether you’re a dynamic duo or a passionate solo publican, this is a fantastic opportunity to make your mark on a much-loved local.
If you’re a duo, one of you will take charge of the kitchen crafting simple, delicious, home-cooked meals that offer great value and keep guests coming back. You’ll love food, understand what locals want, and know how to build a menu that works. The other will be the face of the pub, welcoming guests, building relationships, and creating a warm, friendly atmosphere. You’ll have a natural flair for hospitality and know how to make every visitor feel at home.
If you’re a single operator, you’ll be hands-on and full of energy, leading from the front and building a strong team around you. You’ll understand the importance of great food, great service, and great community spirit and know how to bring it all together.
If you’re enthusiastic about people, proud of your craft, and ready to lead a pub that’s central to town life, this could be the perfect fit.
