| Perfectly decent pub that gets very busy Friday and Saturday nights - although there are times when it just lacks a certain something - maybe its the lack of background music, but then thats not to everyones taste. Handy seating area at the back jonnyg - 29 Dec 2009 14:09 |
| Called in yesterday and tried the Hobgoblin (a beer that is not a patch on its former self after its down grading to 4.5% abv) which was a decent enough pint. I'd have stayed for another of the four ale's that were available but the pub stank of those yellow bricks you find in the bottom of the urinal in the toilet. Shame really because its a good, down to earth, no thrills boozer. ICTGringo - 24 Sep 2009 22:38 |
| The Royal Oak has changed little over the last 14 or 15 years since Ray took over. Still serving good condition regular real ales and guest beer(s). The clientelle are generally still your local Earlsdon residents rather than the pub crawling, pre-clubbing youths and drunkards that are taking over the area these days.

| The smoking ban seems to be having a serious effect on the numbers. It is noted that you can still smoke in the "garden" a small collection of dying houseplants and the largest gravel ashtray in the world. We await the new marketing masterplan with anticipation and trepitation. anonymous - 16 Sep 2007 21:14 |
| i cannot believe all these negative comments about this pub,i have recently experienced great service and great beer. i can understand some of the gripes, changing barrels at peak times and the clean ashtray fetish can be annoying but overall has to be an above average pub. I am surprised that the owner has not risen to these negative inputs - maybe a comment or 2 in the myspace arena, after all he is the land lord of the oak! Think I might try a search! to see the response if any. anonymous - 27 May 2007 18:11 |
