The Royal Oak

The Royal Oak offers locally sourced, home cooked food. We also offer a fine selection of real ales and a welcoming atmosphere, with real fires burning in the cold months.

The building is reputedly haunted by several mysterious ghosts that come as they please. There is an old prostitute in the front bar; ghosts of children playing by the fire; a tall, gaunt man in the back room and two female ghosts, one on the first floor called Alice and one in the flat called Mary. Staff have repeatedly heard someone walk up stairs but on investigation have found no one there and staff have felt hands holding theirs as they pull pints.

The tour bus stops close by Monk bar if you wish to get off and come for lunch or evening meal.
