The Royal Oak — Restaurant in England

Visited The Royal Oak on Sunday 04 August 2024 for a drink after noticing this Black Country Ales real ale pub was getting good ratings on Camra ( Campaign for Real Ale ) What Pub site . We were pleasantly surprised to find it was being run by Josh - a friendly barman who used to work at The Anvil in Shifnal . He is temporarily running The Royal Oak with a possibility of him taking it over .

The Royal Oak is located on a main road in Coton Hill . It has a VERY SMALL ( 4 spaces !) car park at the rear - accessed by a narrow lane on the left of the building. The Royal Oak has a small astro turf 'lawn' on part of the car park with two tables and sun umbrellas. A small covered wooden seating area is also located by the rear door . On entering a large 'L' shaped room with a bar on the left you are faced with a spacious area with plenty of seating . A group of customers were in the bay window area at the front watching sports on the fixed TV . There is a second space through a door on the far left served by the same bar . We went to that area to discuss some private family things with our son . Once the door was closed we were very quiet and were able to easily able to talk quietly withþ our son.

The Royal Oak appears to be a good sized pub but on a tight space . The quality of the real ale was very good and hopefully it will continue to do well in...

Was a lovely little place to stay. Continental breakfast included in the price, if you want cooked breakfast, it's £5 extra, however I can't complain as the cost is very affordable. Turning into the carpark would have been difficult had I been using a larger car as it is a tight turn with high walls. Once in the carpark, you are basically in the beer garden and may possibly block someone in. From what I saw, there was little accessibility for wheelchair users in terms of rooms as I only saw stairs. Staff were very friendly and helpful, pointing me in the right direction of a corner shop. Overall, was a lovely night away for work, and they had everything I needed. I'd recommend them to others...

The pub is nice - log fire, good choice of drinks, clean toilets.||||The room was disappointing for the price. Uncomfortable bed which sloped with the room angles and a very small, windowless bathroom which could do with a deep clean. If you are looking for matching bedside cabinets, a lightbulb in every lamp and a flat floor, you may need to rethink. ||||Breakfast was basic - he'll yourself to cereal, make some toast or gave some fresh fruit. There is also a kettle and coffee supplies. A cooked breakfast option would have been nice. ||||Sorry, will probably stick with the Premier Inn going forward but good luck with...
