About this space

Back Area at the Royal Oak is a cosy section of the pub with built-in leather banquette seating that gives groups their own comfortable spot without feeling completely closed off.

Design: Dark timber panelling, herringbone parquet flooring and exposed beams give the area a traditional pub feel, while brass wall lights and tall leaded windows add character and natural light.

Ideal for: Small group dinners, drinks, casual celebrations and relaxed get-togethers where guests want a more tucked-away seating area.

What guests say: Guests describe the space as cosy and comfortable, with attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere.
