I'm intrigued as to what happened at The Honor Oak. Back when it first opened under that name (2006/7 ?), although it wouldn't have been BaggyDave's cup of tea, it seemed well run (by the 2 Jamies) and I enjoyed going there. When I got married we held a party in their (unfinished) function room and they did us proud on catering and drink. We were by no means regulars and it is nothing close to being our local but whenever we went in the Jamies remembered us. After our second child was born we had less opportunity to go but eventually, when we did, the Jamies had gone, the atmosphere seemed different, the food wasn't as good and so on. We gave it another couple of goes and then gave up on it.

Anyone know what happened to the Jamies? I've wondered a few times if its apparent popularity hid a lack of profitability or whether the Jamies were nice blokes but struggled with the management of the business (although I seem to remember them having a lot of previous experience).
