The Mile Oak Inn was built in the mid 1950’s. Over the years it has had only a handful of landlords (although many managers) including ‘Brighton Tigers’ ice hockey stars Bobby Lee and Gib Hutchinson. For nearly twenty years Mick Goble has been at The Mile Oak with his wife Louise. The ‘Mile Oak Inn’ is in the heart of the Mile Oak community; it supports and sponsors many local groups, clubs and societies. The pub is split into three bars, a sports bar which has two pool tables and a 5 foot plasma TV showing sporting events and ‘wii’ tournaments on Sunday nights! The middle bar has a relaxed atmosphere and a great place to meet up and chat. The function room is used throughout the week for meetings and darts and at weekends a great venue for parties. The beer garden is open from March to October. Interesting internal features including what seem to be the original bar counters. There is also an illuminated Charrintons sign above the Saloon back bar. There is planning permission to build a single storey retail unit to the side of the function room which is in the process of going up. The car park at the front has been re-arranged as a result. May 2021 - partition between the public and Saloon bars now removed. No longer has real ale.
