My visit to this pub on a Wednesday lunchtime found it to be a little quiet with a couple of locals at the bar along with who I assumed was the manager/Landlord, you enter into the main bar area with a similar sized room knocked through to the right, there is a smaller seperate snug type room to the left.Very much a country pub,with a few black beams but not overly rustic. Beerwise four of the five handpumps were in operation ,the one not serving was clipped with something coming soon,the four on consisted of Breakspeare Bitter and Gold,along with Wychwood Hobgoblin and Jennings Cumberland which was surprisingly half decent.Despite the rather plain beer line up I found it to be a perfectly decent country pub.

A large Marstons outlet. Big main bar along the front, knocked-through and pretty characterless. A bit dated décor-wise, quarter length black painted wood panelling and artex style wall wattling (this will some day be considered heritage but hopefully long after I’ve passed on). Herringbone block flooring of some class, though the busted lightbulb brought things back down. Some of the punters looked like extras from Withnail & I. Jukey had been taken over by locals pumping out prog rock and most were happily on their way to oblivion. An odd bunch, we weren’t exactly made to feel welcome and my act of manners in holding open a door for a couple of ladies elicited not a grunt of thanks. Four ales on, Brakspear Oxford Gold (so-so), Brakspear Bitter, Marston Help For Heroes and Wychwood Hobgoblin. Berkshire’s answer to the Slaughtered Lamb.

Looking forward to a post walk meal here but when I arrived, there was a sign saying "Kitchen Closed".

Disappointed, I did stay for a very decent pint of Breakspeare Bitter.

Get the feeling I missed out from the reviews.

Oh dear. I used to really like this place. A nice country feel, even though it's close to Wokingham. Went there 2 weeks ago for weekend lunch. Took 2 hours 15 minutes to get food. Profuse apologies notwithstanding, we were told numerous times the food was "just coming". Finally they admitted there was only one person in the kitchen, and she did not know what she was doing. They should have stopped taking orders when they realised they were under water. They offered free dessert, but no idea how long they would have taken!

This is a pub situated in the lovely area of finchampstead, near to the Californian Country Park, this makes it perfect for cyclist looking for a light lunch or something to drink in a very warm, informal and friendly environment.

Lesley & Jamie became the new landlords of The Queens Oak Pub in the Summer of 2006 and they offer a warm welcome to all their customers.

This country pub, formerly The White Horse, was renamed by Queen Victoria, who planted the large oak tree on the green opposite the pub. It is the only pub in the country named The Queens Oak. For good pub food in a relaxed atmosphere, with a little piece of history mixed in, visit The Queens Oak
