Situated proudly on Eccleshall High Street, just a stone’s throw away from Joule’s Brewery Flagship Tap in Market Drayton, the Royal Oak is poised to become the go-to spot for pub enthusiasts in Eccleshall.
With enhancements across the board, including operational improvements and an extension of the bar to showcase our extensive Joule’s draught offer. We have created cosy corners, ideal for setting in with a pint. Our outdoor space has also received a transformation, boasting a new pergola in the beer courtyard and refurbishments, complete with draught exclusion, to the coach house. All perfect for live music events.
In addition to the enhancements downstairs, we’ve also spared no effort in upgrading our meeting room and function room upstairs, perfect for any occasion – whether you’re hosting a business gathering or a social event, our revamped meeting room offers a comfortable and professional space for all occasions.
The function room upstairs includes upgrades to the bar and functionality, we have elevated the bar to create the perfect offer for cold beers on tap, as well as added secondary glazing to make it thermo-efficient.
