The picturesque village of Car Colston has 29 acres

of village greens and is believed to be the largest rural

common in England. The building of the Royal Oak is over

two hundred years old and is thought by some to have a

hosiery factory hence the rather unusual vaulted brick ceiling

in the bar which certainly would have carried  the weight of

the appropriate textiles machinery above.

​

With Vicky offering her delicious culinary delights from the

kitchen & Richard behind the bar with his fantastic tasting

Cask Marque approved traditional real ales you are sure of

a warm welcome and enjoyable experience but look out for

the reportable ghost of a Roman Centurion roaming the

building.
