About this space

The Upstairs Area at the Royal Oak is a private event space with plenty of traditional pub character, featuring exposed timber beams and leaded windows that reflect the building’s historic style.

Design: Dark-painted walls, patterned upholstery and wooden furniture give the room a warm, classic look. A fireplace, area rug and a mix of banquette seating and upholstered chairs create a comfortable setup for guests to sit, chat and enjoy the space.

Features: A TV is available in the room, making it useful for presentations or displaying content during private events.

Ideal for: Private dinners, drinks with friends, small celebrations and other relaxed gatherings where guests can spend time together in a more intimate setting.

What sets it apart: The exposed beams and leaded windows give the room a distinctive historic character and set it apart from a typical pub function space.

What guests say: Visitors often mention the comfortable setting, friendly team and easygoing feel of the space.
