The Royal Oak pub is a gem for me. It's got that classic vibe with cozy seating and a warm atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. The bar staff are top-notch-always quick with a smile, remembering your drink if you're a regular, and handling busy nights without a hitch. Their service is what keeps me coming back.

Edit: I've been in several times since my first review and the Brains Bitter has been on and in very good condition. Staff are very friendly and are happy to put on any sport for you to watch if they have it. They do have Sky Sports but no BT. My previous visit must have been a one off with the lack of beer. We love this as our local now, and can't wait to...
