Oak HouseRestaurant

Oak House Restaurant occupies the former Royal Oak pub on Station Road in Chapeltown, run by directors Joanne Beauchamp and Rob Lake since 2019. By day it serves as a small coffee shop from nine, then resets for an evening restaurant menu of British and European dishes such as pan-fried duck breast and an 8oz ribeye. The restaurant carries no alcohol licence of its own; diners bring their own wine or beer and pay a corkage fee per person instead. Around ten to twelve tables fill the dining room, so bookings run through Facebook messenger rather than a table-management system built for higher turnover. It opens Wednesday to Saturday for dinner, with a coffee-shop lunch service the same days, and a single Sunday opening on the last weekend of each month.
