The Royal Oak is a 300 year old listed building. The 1856 reference is simply The Oak, South Cerney.

When excavations were being made in 1997 to lay pipes for a new cellar human remains were found which necessitated a police enquiry. A Cotswold stone extension for a new restaurant was opened in time for Christmas 1999.
