Holywell's The Royal Oak set to re-open its doors next week
The Royal Oak closed in January of last year, having previously been run by Emma Fletcher and her staff for nearly a decade. During that time, it had built a reputation as a locals and tourists public house over the years. The pub, located between Holywell and Greenfield, was then up for sale at £295,000 through Celt Rowlands and Co. Now, it is set for its new lease of life under new management, with its new team confirming that the venue will be re-open as of Friday, July 18. General Manager Simon Owen says he is grateful to the local community for the 'encouragement' and 'support' they have already shown. He said: "I'm really excited to start a new venture in such a close community and to become part of such a community." He added: "A few locals have already popped in whilst we were doing work inside the pub. They've given such encouragement and support, which I love and can't wait to open to meet everyone and create an amazing environment for the locals and families. I'm looking forward to it! The Royal Oak are now on the lookout for part-time staff to join the team. Experience is preferred, but not essential. Anyone interested should contact jack@ A Facebook post from The Royal Oak team added: "We are so proud to announce we have taken the keys to The Royal Oak and we can't wait to re open the doors to this cracking building and meet everyone! "Keep an eye on our Facebook page for more information regarding the launch and things to come! See you on Friday 18th July 2025."
