The back function room at the Royal Oak is available for parties of 30+ to hire 7 days a week, and boasts a fully equipped bar with friendly staff to ensure your guests are served quickly and easily.
The room is perfect for parties between 30-60 people with changes being made to the seating arrangements to accommodate larger numbers. We have had many parties invite 80-100+ guests knowing that many will be happy to spill out into the shared garden area which is covered and has heat lamps for cooler nights.
PLEASE NOTE
Sunday to Thursday the room can be hired for the whole evening until closing time.
Unfortunately we cannot privately hire the back room of The Oak for the entirety of Friday or Saturday nights for the whole night, due to the busyness of the garden which requires the use of the back bar. We can offer the room to private parties anytime from 12noon to 9pm but from 9pm onwards unfortunately we do have to make the room available to the public.
This does not mean your guests have to vacate the room at this time, but it does mean that other customers are able to come into the room and order at the bar or sit at any free tables.
UNDER-18's POLICY
Although under-18's are welcome to attend a private function they are restricted to the function room and toilets only as The Royal Oak is licensed as an over-18's venue, but the function room itself can be designated as a private area.
If the room gets a little hot or busy it is often desirable for kids to want to play outside.
Unfortunately to meet our licensing conditions and keep everybody safe we cannot allow this, which can upset guests if they unaware of this in advance.
We do not want to put people off booking the room but we always prefer to be honest at the start as the room is probably not a suitable venue if there were more than five under-18's likely to attend, as it may be hard for you to make all guests aware of this rule and avoid any disappointment or inconvenience on the day.
We would ask that all persons aged under 18 vacate the premises by 8pm. We operate a Challenge 25 Policy, please ask anyone who is lucky enough to look under 25 years old to bring ID. We will not serve anyone that cannot show proof of age.

Millsy's operates a smart casual dress code. Though this is more relaxed during the day please note that workwear, sportswear, baseball caps and flip flops are generally not permitted.
On busy Friday and Saturday evenings, the door staff will be a little stricter on types of trainer etc, so dressing smart is recommended to avoid disappointment.
On Friday & Saturday evenings Millsy's is an over-18s venue only. Challenge 25 age verification is in place and we only accept physical IDs, copies shown on a phone screen will not be accepted as proof of age.
All decisions regarding entry or service are at the management's discretion.
Children are welcome in the bar while the focus of the area is dining rather than evening drinks. The cutoff time for this can change depending on the day but is usually around 7.30pm. We have a children's menu available during standard food service times.
In the restaurant children are welcome at any time on Friday & Saturday evenings.
When booking a table please remember that children of all ages count in your party size. Space for prams is limited so let us know if this is needed, along with any highchairs that might be required.
For warmer months we have an outside garden seating area on Earlsdon Street where well-behaved dogs are welcome. Unfortunately we are unable to allow dogs into the building (with the exception of service dogs).
Millsy's is wheelchair accessible via the rear entrance on Moor Street. We have a disabled WC located on the ground floor, and a stairlift to offer access to the upstairs restaurant.

We have a small garden seating area on Earlsdon Street.

There is also a pay and display car park a few minutes walk away on Warwick Street.
