After a big refurbishment we’ve just seen that this pub has reopened as the upmarket-sounding Oak & Pastor. Certainly all traces of the Drum and Monkey have been entirely removed. Some beautiful tiling advertising 'Smith Garratts Special Mild', which was briefly exposed during the renovation, has now been almost entirely repainted over again in a studious black. We'll get there to give it a review soon.

They have done a great job on the renovation. Looks and feels brilliant inside. Hasnt been ruined by stripping it all back to basics. Great real fire, very friendly helpful staff which makes a big difference to a place. And good food. Not yet managed to make a music/quiz or event night but I will do.

Overview

 The origins of this building can be traced back to the 19th century; the first record being a public house in 1889 when it was christened the Junction Arms. During the second world war this building was damaged by the bombing, however only suffered minor damage to the exterior structure.

In 1964 the Junction Arms became the Drum & Monkey, The tenant instigated the story behind this unusual name, at the time owning an ornament depicting a Drum & Monkey...

So the years have gone by, The Oak & Pastor has passed through many hands, Had many diffrent personalitys, Seen many diffrent things...So many stroies could be told-If only this dear old pub could talk!

This is just a brief insight to the history of a nearly 200 year old pub and what it has to offer, Its time for another story to be told, Heres to the future, The next chapter awaits us, we hope you enjoys it as we do!
