The Oak Inn is an attractive place to return to for beer drinkers as well as diners, with an impressive rotating selection of cask ales and ciders chosen with input from customers and the Burton community. Premium draught lagers, bottled beers, wines, and spirits complete a comprehensive drinks menu, which also includes brewed coffee and soft drink options.
Community engagement is key to invoking a genuine sense of belonging within everyone that visits The Oak Inn. Weekly bingo and quizzes, monthly open mics, darts teams, golf society meetings, craft clubs, karaoke events, and regular live musical and band performances ensure there is a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere to savour. Frequent family days and charity fundraisers help give back to the community, which always remains at the pub's core.
