Our story

From Zakynthos to Scopwick

The Royal Oak has stood beside the beck in Scopwick since the early eighteenth century. After more than a year behind closed doors it reopened in October 2019, and in 2020 a family from the Greek island of Zakynthos took it on.

They cook the dishes they grew up with: slow stews, charcoal skewers, meze made for sharing. And the pub classics, the real ales and the games room a village local should never lose have stayed exactly where they were.
