The Royal Oak

We were at the Oak for my birthday celebration. Only a fairly small group of us, but I'm sure, enough of us to be making noise. The atmosphere in this place is amazing, there's so much good about it. Drinks are well priced, staff are awesome, & are all just lovely people. The management is great, & very attentive, responding to my email query in very good time, & generally running a fab establishment. I always feel welcome at the Oak, never feel the 'snarkiness' that can be found in some pubs. These guys know how to make you feel right at home (this may be the reason I've never seen any trouble, or 'scuffles' there... Folk are less likely to do these things when they're relaxed & in good company). Frankly, I love this place, I always have a good time there, never feel 'out of place', largely due to the wonderful people who work there. & they have the huge bonus that they're only a 10mins walk from my house. Highly recommend you take a trip here to the Oak, you won't regret that you did. They have great local beers & cider, an atmosphere you have to experience to understand, & amazing staff... As an added bonus, there are dogs here, which sometimes get to wander around the place. They just love people, & flopping at your feet for a belly rub, is not unheard of. All in all, great place. Once you've tried it, you'll always want to go back. Thanks for making my birthday one to remember guys, I really appreciate it.
