History: “Never judge a book by its cover”. Externally the 1970s architecture did not inspire, yet inside was a different story. Within lay openness, warmth and friendliness. This was exemplified by the greetings and farewells from the regulars. Expect to be engaged in friendly conversation. This really was a local community pub in the true sense of the words, where it was no surprise to walk in and be greeted by a wake or birthday party. Latterly an Oakwell Brewery house, the Oakwell beers were rare for the area and its closure was a sad loss.
