Personally, I'm puzzled as to what the Honor Oak is trying to do. Previously it was a good pub though IMHO quite expensive for food and drink, but it did have a lot of things on for the community. It certainly seemed to be popular. Perhaps a bit noisy with bare floorboards etc.

Now its been painted externally aka a East Germany 1980's pillbox, is trying to set itself up for music when the shape of the pub is all wrong (e.g. where's the stage) and the range of food and drink is limited. It just does not look welcoming.

My theory is that the Honor Oak has decided to compete with the Chandos! Although the latter has the TVs for the footie crowd.


Lets hope Honor Oak finds its feet and then the good reviews will come.
