The Ancient Oak in Cottam is open following a four-week refurbishment.
Guests can expect a brand-new look that Ember Inns describe as stylish, cosy, and designed to make the pub feel like a home away from home. There’s a refreshed bar, new seating, and an enhanced function room, dining room and beer garden.

A fixed-price menu offers three courses from £13.79 between 12pm and 5pm on Monday to Friday, and for £16.49 after 5pm. New dishes include pub classics and fresh offerings such as grilled seabass fillets and maple glazed belly pork. There is also a fixed-price Sunday lunch menu with up to three courses available.

Ciaran Treanor, General Manager at The Ancient Oak, said: “There’s nothing better than seeing both new and familiar faces settling in by our fire. We can’t wait for everyone in the community to see what we’ve done with the place.
“Whether you’ve been coming here for years or you’re stepping through our doors for the first time, you’ll still find that cosy, warm welcome that makes this pub so special.”


Four-legged friends are also welcome at The Ancient Oak as the pub has a dedicated dog-friendly space in the bar, along with water and treats available at the pub’s doggy treat station to ensure they are as comfortable as their owners.
