Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...
Here is little potted history of our pub and the local area... if you have a spare minute or two and maybe a cup of tea (or is that a G&T), we think it's well worth read.
If you'd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...
Manager
Beth is a really local girl, having lived in the area from birth. When she's not in our pub she can be found in other pubs, with her 2 aunties, as together they have a singing act, or you will find her enjoying time with her 2 lovely daughters.
Deputy Manager
Chris has joined our Oakley Family, looking for a new adventure moving from our sister pub the Roe Deer, with a wealth of experience within hospitality He has hit the deck running at the speed of light! Chris has quickly become known as a joker, like a breath of fresh air when he comes on shift, with a big smile and warm nature. Don’t be fooled though, this guy knows what hard-work is and how to get the job done. Chris doesn’t really do down-time, with 2 young daughters to run around after, Lily and Amelia; he and his lovely wife Steph are always off on some adventure!
Assistant Manager
What can I say, Lizzie is one of the best, working between the Oakley and her family run straw making company. Lizzie will always cover a shift and offer to help out at the pub as much as she can. Working in the drinks industry on both sides of the coin Lizzie's product knowledge is fantastic and she is our little gem of the Oakley. Outside of work Lizzie spends her time following the football as she is a huge West Brom fan.
Maintenance Person
Jon is the glue that holds the kitchen together, with his calming influence and caring nature he is a vital part of life at the Oakley, his talent as a chef is clear with his 20 years experience behind him. Born and bred in Stafford he now has 4 boys of his own to keep him on his toes. In his spare time Jon enjoys a work out at the gym and is partial to a cheeky bet... or ten!.
