Our Pub of the Season award for Autumn 2026 was awarded to the Royal Oak in Cossington. A presentation evening took place on 23rd October.
The Royal Oak is an old village pub at the heart of the community. The interior is modernised in traditional style with some genuine beams. An L-shaped bar-lounge at the front; up steps to the right to a small snug area with dartboard. At the back is a small lobby with seating, leading to an attractive garden with picnic tables, alongside a long skittle alley which also doubles as a function room. Guest ales that change weekly, home-cooked food, and great band nights.
