The Royal Oak, Kings Bromley

I would just like to thank everyone that supported The Royal Oak's first Open Mike night. I do hope that everyone managed to enjoy something and that you'll continue to support this event. From small acorns and all that I am hoping that once word gets round this event will get better and better. I would also like to thank the entertainers that performed last night and helped make it a success even if it was only a small success. In the coming weeks I have several high profile musicians coming so please don't miss these fantastic musicians.

Plea: If anyone reading this or you know someone that can or would like to come on a Monday from 9pm until late to perform and entertain, whether it be musical, vocal, telling a joke or two or something they can do that others would appreciate, then please point them in our direction or come yourself and join in the fun!

Thanks to everyone that supported this event once again. Ken

The Royal Oak, Kings Bromley

I have just read the comment from the previous commenter and I must disagree 100% with the comments posted by this user. This is the only pub in Kings Bromley and for many a year has been one of the worst run pubs in the area if not the county. A landlord named John changed all this but his stay was short-lived due to the sudden death of his wife. Since then Mary McGeechen has taken over and has really put her utmost effort into producing a customer/child friendly pub that caters not just for locals but for everyone that enters the door.
I feel that the previous commenter is an agrieved local, I know not why, but has the audacity to critisise his local that is trying extremely hard to please all. Mary is putting all the hours God allows to make this pub work. Since her Managementship she has put on Music nights, Theme nights, Bouncy castle and Barbecues on at every possible moment.
The Staff are welcoming, courteous and friendly and all go out of their way to make the customers visit an experience to remember, where can you go that competes with that!
The beer is good and very palatable with a good choice and competes with any pub around. The bar area is adorned with very comfortable seating and the restaurant area is a delight. The background music is just right not too loud and not too quiet with a very balanced genre of music.
This is a quite large pub and with any pub of this size everything isn't perfect but I think Mary is trying extremely hard to come to terms with these minor problems and she will, I'm sure, make this the perfect place to visit, drink and eat.
I think it's worth a visit and to see for yourself whether I have been biased in any way, but I tell you this that I have visited many pubs around the whole country and I haven't found a more comfortable pub anywhere.
