The home owners and publican have a great relationship and the beer garden is not often used – thank you British weather – and when it is, it is closed at 9pm! There is a gate into the beer garden for bin access for Royal Oak Barn. To the front is a small, attractive gravelled forecourt Garden – well kept with a pretty pot plant or two. The neighbouring pub does have pedestrian access over a corner of this to access their store rooms.
