Decent pub with a couple of friendly locals in. Cracking pint of Wainwrights. Also Sunbeam and Amber on offer. Happy to have called in.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Royal Oak

Modernised pub with a fairly new coat of paint externally and an opened-out 'L'-shaped interior. Refurbished in a semi-traditional style, although the pillar-box red leather-look covering to the banquette seating is a bit much. Two banks of four handpumps on each side of the counter, with Banks's Amber (good value at £2.30), Boon Doggle and Razor Back from Marston's plus Courage Directors available as a guest.

Update: It has altered a little inside and has been redecorated, but in essence it is the same: Did a history of this one for those interested https://wyrleyblog.wordpress.com/wyrley-landywood/the-pubs-of-great-wyrley/the-pubs-of-great-wyrley-the-royal-oak/
**********************************
July 2011: This pub is a detached Banks's pub, with a now cream painted brick exterior. The pub area is in fact a cream rendered extension on the front of a house, which remains the living area and the backyard has become a two-levelled patio area with lots of flower baskets and large pots.

The interior is open plan L-shaped room around the serving bar. The decor is white, white walls (half plain and half wallpapered)with a wood rail, white ceiling with a chocolate moulded cornice. There is a carpet at one end and red tile flooring at the more 'bar' end where there is a dart board. There is a brick fireplace. There are lots of old local and mining photos and prints on the walls and there are a couple of TVs, mainly used for sport and often not on. There is a traditional feel about the place, with a piano and brick pillars to support the roof. The pub now does a general and good value menu - i have eaten here a few times and it is decent enough - well, the steak is anyhow! The seats have been re-covered. Service is always fine and clientele mixed - gets busy, especially on the music nights.

Beer; usual tap stuff, with Banks's Bitter and MILD on handpull. The MILD is excellent. Pedigree seems to be a regular now as well and there is usually a guest

This is a good local pub, always a nice pint and decent atmosphere
