Are you looking to run a quintessential rural community pub that also serves as a destination venue on the edge of the picturesque North Yorkshire Moors? If so, take the reins of Ye Olde Forge Valley in the pretty village of West Ayton.
Pub and location
Ye Olde Forge Valley is a picturesque pub on the busy A170 road between Pickering & Scarborough.
Guests love the superb traditional food with a brilliant reputation for the successful pizzeria.
This pub resides in the heart of the community, catering for locals, community groups and tourists. It has a fantastic community feel with regular fundraising events that unite people.
If you are looking for a well-established and successful business that’s beautifully decorated and kitted out, this is for you. Guests relax in the cosy window booths for more intimate dining if desired and enjoy a popular public bar that helps create a warm and inviting feel.
The separate trading areas include a bar, a snug, intimate dining room, an impressive long room that operates as a pizzeria and a superb function room.
The pub has a superb, mature, well-maintained beer garden, perfect for those long summer days and nights.
The area benefits from near all-year-round tourism. The pub is a small car ride away from Pickering and the bustling seaside town of Scarborough. It sits near the beautiful views and stunning rolling countryside of the North Yorkshire moors.
