About Us

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it's top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there's always something happening. At most of our pubs, you'll find proper pub grub - with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we've got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that's worth every penny.

The Oakwood is a fantastic community pub with a large sports area, benefiting from a wide range of facilities, from two pool tables to the quiet restaurant. This pub is always running local events and showing a variety of live acts. We also show a wide variety of football and horse racing.

Stonegate Group is the UK\'s largest operator of pubs, bars, and late-night venues, including Slug & Lettuce, Be At One, and Popworld, to name a few. We\'re proud of our diverse portfolio and deeply committed to creating an inclusive culture that embraces individuality in all its forms—including neurodiversity. By fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and supported, we reflect the vibrant communities we serve and empower our people to thrive.
