Aim: The Oddfellows Arms has been a hub of our community for 169 years. We are at risk and need your help to remain open as the pub you love!
Who are we?
The Oddfellows Arms was first established in 1854 as a hub within the community of Pinner. Throughout the years we have established strong connections with our customers, local businesses, local charities, local clubs, and social groups, alongside participating in historical community days. This has transformed our pub into an eclectic and diverse environment for all to enjoy.
Why do we need your help?
We need to raise £25,000 within the next two weeks in order to fulfill our requirements to renew our lease. We managed to stay afloat throughout some extremely difficult times, we survived through covid and we have absorbed the cost of living crisis. To keep the pub how we know and love, unexpectedly we now need to to find an additional £25,000 to keep the lease. We understand that timescales are tight, but we are positive that the community can rally together to support a local gem!

Quote from the landlord, Richard Devine...
“Our team here are amazin
g! They’ve worked so hard to make this pub what it is – a place where people can feel a part of something. It would break my heart to see that fall apart now. After all we’ve all been through in the last few years it’s more important than ever for people to come together to protect these last remaining hubs of our community. It's a daunting challenge but we are confident that our community will rally together to support this beloved local gem. It’s been our privilege to support our patrons for all these years and we hope to continue for many more years to come.”
We have a special Community Day event this Saturday 29th July with music by our own local DJ, Joe Dwyer, from 2pm, wraps provided by our neighbouring Lebanese restaurant, Sougtani, and a bottle bar in the garden out back. Come along and see for yourself how much our locals love us and why we’re worth saving.”
