The Cuckoo Oak reopens following six-figure investment

Located on Bridgnorth Road, the family-friendly venue – part of pub company and brewer Greene King – is officially welcoming guests back to experience its brand-new look and feel from 10 February.

The Cuckoo Oak has been completely transformed to offer top-notch drinking and dining experiences in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with key features including a vibrant open-plan restaurant space with comfortable new furniture and stylish décor, and an upgraded bar area to ensure quicker speed of service and create an improved space for those stopping in for a midweek drink.

The Cuckoo Oak has also introduced a new self-serve coffee machine, enabling guests to stay fuelled with unlimited hot drink refills throughout the day.

Sports fans can make the most of the pub’s elevated sports offering with modernised TV screens and sound systems showing the latest live fixtures on Sky Sports and TNT Sports, plus the creation of a dedicated darts zone and a new pool table for those seeking a competitive socialising thrill. The toilets have also been refurbished to ensure a modern new look.

The Cuckoo Oak’s outdoor areas have been renovated to enhance the pub’s kerbside appeal and provide customers of all ages with an inviting spot to enjoy an alfresco meal or drink, complete with upgraded outdoor furniture and festoon lighting.

Following the relaunch, guests can look forward to a delicious breakfast menu, which is now available seven days a week from 9am – 12pm. Highlight dishes include Waffles Benedict, a Big Brekkie Roll and a Frozen Smoothie Bowl, as well as a range of options for little ones to enjoy.

To celebrate the relaunch, the Cuckoo Oak invited members of the Randlay Colts Junior Football Club to cut the ribbon marking the pub’s official opening. The pub also made a donation to the club as part of its efforts to support local community initiatives.

Charlotte Jones, general manager of the Cuckoo Oak, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be welcoming our guests back through the doors of the Cuckoo Oak following a month-long investment. We’ve created a brighter, more comfortable space for our customers to relax, dine and enjoy time together, and we can’t wait for everyone to see it.

“The Cuckoo Oak has something to suit everyone, whether you’re coming in for a quick drink, looking for a spot to support your sports team or celebrating a special occasion. Seeing familiar faces return – and welcoming new ones – is part of what makes this pub so special, and we invite locals to come in and experience the Cuckoo Oak’s hospitality today!”

The Cuckoo Oak has a fantastic schedule of weekly entertainment, including a poker league every Tuesday, a new bingo event on Wednesdays and a local darts league that plays on Thursdays.
