Title: "Oak" in the Shambles
Post by: Sorastro on February 06, 2025, 08:08:30 PM

Looks like the Royal Oak in the Shambles has been bought after it's stood empty a while. Didn't read all of it but apparently it's been bought by a couple of Ex teachers. Who says teachers are badly paid?

I haven't been in the Oak in donkeys years, I remember it was a decent pint but it always looked like the bar scene from Star Wars.
I wish them luck.

Always good to see a pub this old reopen.
Good luck to whoever takes it on
