The Oak is looking more welcoming and feeling more comfortable. Mark is putting some real effort in and has a great range of beers and ciders. Pitty much of the village has never supported the Royal Oak, it’s been the same I moved into Kinnersley the better part of 30 years ago regardless of who has been running it. A village without a pub is a bit like a dog with no home, shouldn’t rely on ‘outsiders’ to keep going, though very welcome they obviously are. Those locals that do support the Oak are rewarded with some great banter and craic, just as it should be!
