Late nineteenth century pub.

Reopened in November 2016 following an extensive refurbishment with its original features and memorabilia restored,
Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest
Listed status: II
A late 19th-century pub still with four rooms plus an excellent set of four stained-glass window screens along the Beresford Road frontage. More stained glass appears in the panels between the servery and the snug; both rear snugs retain their original tiled fireplaces. The lounge on the far left which doubles as a function room has modern bar fittings but the fixed seating is old.
For many years the Royal Oak was run by relatives of featherweight champion "Peerless" Jim Driscoll, including Kitty Flynn who lived here from 1946 to 2003, which may explain why the interior is little-altered. The pub still sports many boxing mementos and above the lounge was Driscoll's Boxing Gym (which closed in 2006, but may reopen).
