You are funny yin yang,if you know where to go there are places where you can smoke... Yeah, they're called doorways! Anyway, don't smoke anymore. Used to drink in the Oak, and The Brom as well once upon a time, but the Oak was a bit of an old man's pub as I seem to remember.

I used to go to the Royal Oak all the time, in fact it's where I met my husband! I think for a time it was called the Twilight Cafe? I'd be in there most Thursday nights boogie-ing away to Alan Bates playing his records  Also, I wish I knew which pubs allow you to smoke indoors now? I know you prob can't say on here but oh, to be able to sit in a pub puffing on a fag is my idea of bliss !

I don't think I remember any music nights at all but then I never went in there all that often. Always seemed a bit cold in there, as well. Remember someone telling me it was haunted but they were probably just winding me up! Will be sorry to see The Archers get replaced by a Nursing Home or flats.

Maybe we're talking of a different decade? During the mid 80's the back part of the Royal Oak (the doorway faced the A41) was known as The Twilight Cafe and was a pub disco.

Lived across from that place until i was 25, some 15 years ago not many weekends without a fight outside or the police in the Car Park, went in to the Archers a couple of years ago more of a drug den than a pub and if anyone was asked for ID they wouldn't be drinking
