Gabb Lane, Apperley, Gloucestershire, GL19 4DN 01452 780211 Beers - Bass Draught Bass, Wickwar Coopers' WPA and regular guest beers This riverside pub has been a licensed house since at least the mid 18th century, when it doubled as a coal wharf with passing barges taking coal upstream. The interior is one bar nearly the whole length of the premises and has exposed beams and a tiled floor. Good quality home-cooked meals are served up to 13:45 lunchtime and 21:00 evenings. Stone steaks are a speciality. Outside a patio overlooks the River Severn making it a lovely spot to while away a summer evening. The pub has its own moorings and is on the Severn Way. The approach road is liable to flooding in the winter.

The Royal Oak dates from about 1830. The building probably became a public house between 1868 and 1870, having been converted from two cottages. The L-shaped bar serves a long room and the modern no-smoking conservatory offers magnificent views. Children's play area. The Gloucestershire-Warwickshire railway runs past bottom of garden.

Live jazz on Sunday lunch-times. Lively community pub. The original Royal Oak was a stone built pub, with tiled roof, a rendered front, two small bay windows and a central entrance. In the 1920’s it even boasted its own bowling green. In 1957 the house next door, Sunnybank, was purchased by the Stroud Brewery and the licence was transferred. The Stroud Brewery built a large annex onto the house and the original Royal Oak was demolished to make room for a car park. Still trading today, it is a popular suburban pub.
