Revamped Chesterfield pub set to host launch party this weekend – celebrating the venue’s reopening under new owners
The Royal Oak on Chatsworth Road, formerly known as The Spotted Frog, is celebrating its reopening with a launch party weekend between July 19 and July 20.
The Royal Oak has undergone a significant makeover, featuring an all-new interior and furniture that promise a fresh and welcoming atmosphere.
The pub was transformed as part of a six-figure investment from leading operator-led pub company, Craft Union.
In addition to the aesthetic upgrades, the pub now boasts state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor pool and darts facilities, making it the perfect spot for both relaxation and recreation.
The pub is well known for its impressive beer garden, with booths and a covered section for rainy days – as well as the much-loved outdoor bar. The garden has also been revamped, just in time for guests to enjoy the summer weather.
James, a lifelong local resident with over 20 years of experience in the pub industry, is the driving force behind The Royal Oak's relaunch.
James hopes to bring a personal touch to the pub's operations, and he even gained national recognition by winning the popular TV show ‘Four in a Bed.’
To celebrate the grand reopening, The Royal Oak is hosting a launch party weekend.
Festivities kick off on July 19 with an Eras Disco Night, featuring hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. On July 20, the pub will host a garden party with an ‘Ibiza chill out’ theme, complete with stilt walkers, fire breathers and a food van.
As part of its commitment to giving back to the community, The Royal Oak will be fundraising for Mind, a charity dedicated to mental health support. The pub also plans to host regular bonus balls and meat raffles, fostering community engagement amongst guests.
The Royal Oak has been a cornerstone of the Brampton pub scene for 100 years. James and the Craft Union team said they were excited to continue this legacy by bringing a revitalised and modernised version of this iconic pub to the area.
