The Royal Oak, Pirbright

As a new commer to this site i was very interested by all the comments about the Royal Oak. My name is Peter Lucas and have been one of the resident managment team for nearly a year. Over the year the pub has had a lot of changes, one being new owners, that now being Greene king (a traditional brewing company) that should please all the people who have had bad feeling from the laurel pub company over the last 5 years. We are a contry pub and always will be. As anyone can appreciate it take time to get the comunity back in to a pub, and we feel that we are there with a great customer base (some smokers)! We have started not only a charity quiz night that is every two weeks (next on is on the 1st May 8.30pm) but also a charity Race night (11 May 7.30pm). Also the re-introdution of the themed food nights that as most people will know, i started them at the royal oak over 5 years ago when i was training under John and Pauline. Yes, that's right i was born in guildford and i have lived in worplesdon all my life so i know the area and the history of the Royal Oak. Laura and myself have spent the last year working to bring this great pub with traditional ales back to all you pub fanatics so thank you for all your comments and we hope to see you all at the only pub in Pirbright that can offer you all a warm wecome, open fires, large garden, up to 8 real ales, wide range of food, BBQ'S and of course a local manager for a local pub.
