Great pub! Proper fires like a country pub but in the town centre and amazing bar staff, always friendly and there's plenty of entertainment with dj's and karaoke on a weekend, also accept camra card for the real ale drinkers and have a far few on offer plus guest ales, they dont do food but a selection of warm pies/pastys are good on a winters day, they also have a pool table.

Have been coming here a few months now. The place exudes a homely atmosphere, managed by an eccentric Southerner ("an agent of the company he calls himself") and some lovely, always pleasant and helpful staff behind the bar. The manager, known as Damo to his friends, will often be found pacing the pool room like a tiger - where the Royal Oak is home to a strong pool league team - but he in fact looks after the flock of old and young players alike much like a pigeon looks after its newborns, with encouraging remarks like "are you alright?" The Royal Oak is doing extensive renovations upstairs for a private members club (a nominal monthly fee will give you access and discounted drinks) which will see brand new pool tables and big screen tvs installed and some magnificent views of town. The upstairs part of the pub in fact shows off just how old the pub is, with beautiful old stained glass and timber beams which originate from HMS Newcastle. Karaoke on Fridays from 8pm whilst most Saturdays are given over to a DJ. Friendly locals and good prices with a good selections of gins and real ales. Transport by luxury bus is regularly arranged for away games of the towns football club. The pub is easily accessible from the train station on foot and a stones throw from Shay Stadium.
