Sutton Oak, St Helensback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This pub now appears to be flats. I went to the nearby Red Lion Hotel instead, which was probably the worst pub of 14 I tried in the area on Sunday. It's not listed on here and not worth adding.

A great pub; but is it still open ? I strongly suspect the over-critical Mr/Mrs "Needapub" was/were the staff sacked round about the same time their 'review' was penned.
Sour grapes methinks !
My own experience of T'Oak was of a warm, cosy and friendly pub that was trying really hard to keep alive the essence of what a good pub should be. The choice of real ales was legendary throughout Merseyside. If "Needapub" insisted on drinking that awful chemical drink known as lager I'm not surprised their rear end was painful soon after ! Had they stuck to the extremely well-kept real ale they would have had no problems.
In short, a great pub, serving great ale in a trouble-free and safe environment; just as it should be. I sincerely hope some way can be found of preserving it for future generations "

Sutton Oak, Bold - Simply a flithy, damp smelling, dump of a pub! New Bold Estate had been promised a new decent pub on the estate - instead we got this stinking flea pit with unfriendly owners. Dont drink more than two pints, as they will run out of Ale, if not you get the shits - No soap or loo roll either!! A total shambles! Whoever gave them the Real Ale Award 2006 needs stringing up they obviously have never been their!!! And they even wonder why it is always empty!!! Dont waste your time or money - it really is the pits!!

Overrated in my opinion. Pub was empty when I went and there wasn't even any staff behind the bar. I left, beerless. Not as many draughts as I thought they'd have either. I believe you can't use the beer garden there either.
