Our Story

Hi! I’m Cameron - Landlord of The Cross Oak.

This photo was taken 6 years ago when my Cross Oak Journey began & heres a little story about why The Cross Oak means so much to me...

I first worked here at 14 for my good friends Becky & Dave. Back then, we used to joke that one day it would be mine - I didn't think it would happen this soon though

I've always loved pubs (bit random, I know). When I was younger, I would set up a "bar" at home when my parents had friends around... and yes, I charged them afterwards . From the cellar to the kitchen, there's just something about pubs l've always loved (and not just the drinking part)

Six years ago, I was behind the bar learning the ropes, not realising how much this place would shape my journey. So to now be able to call The Cross Oak mine, is very special!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way, without you, this wouldn't be possible. I love seeing all of the regular faces again and am enjoying being back behind the bar where it all started!
