Introduction

The Royal Oak in Winchester is a historic pub considered to be one of the oldest in England, with parts of the building dating back as far as 1002 AD when it was the residence of Queen Emma. Hidden down a cobbled passage, the low ceiling beams and wood-panelled walls feel like a true celebration of the building's rich heritage.
