The Land Oak in Kidderminster reopens following £336,000 refurbishment

The Land Oak is now open, boasting an investment of over £336,000 that has transformed the well-loved family-friendly pub to feature a host of exciting upgrades.

Introducing its innovative “Two Door Pub” concept, The Land Oak now offers a sports bar area and a separate family lounge, creating two distinct spaces: a lively bar for the locals and a cosy, family-friendly lounge. Designed to cater to all occasions, The Land Oak brings the community together, offering guests the flexibility to enjoy their ideal experience with no compromises.

The community hero chosen to pull the first pint at the pub’s opening was Ian Ridgeway, a familiar face at the Land Oak, well-known regular, and local builder whose hard work and dedication played a key role in the pub’s transformation. Also in attendance was the Mayor of Kidderminster, Councillor Doug Hine, who was elected Town Mayor on May 15, 2025. He officially opened The Land Oak by cutting the ribbon.

The newly updated bar area features large HD screens to keep guests entertained with all the latest sports action. The space also includes a dedicated darts area and pool table, so guests can challenge friends, enjoy some friendly competition, and soak up the lively atmosphere.

The Land Oak is a dog-friendly locals' pub with a community feel. Locals can now drop by for a pint and a bite to eat, celebrating unmissable moments in the heart of the community. The pub continues to serve its much-loved favourites alongside a special festive set menu, featuring Christmas classics such as traditional roast turkey and indulgent desserts like dark chocolate mint tart. With gluten-free and vegan options available, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Now open, the Land Oak will host a variety of events over the festive period, such as:

• Mad Dominic Children's Entertainer on 29th November
• Bingo Evening on 4th December
• Build your Own Pizza on 5th December
• Paint and Sip with Caroline on 8th December

General Manager of the Land Oak, Paul Edis, said, “At the Land Oak, we’re excited to introduce our distinctive ‘Two Door Pub’ concept to the community. This investment reflects our commitment to creating a space where both locals and visitors can enjoy memorable experiences, whether it’s the thrill of live sports in our vibrant bar or the comfort of relaxing in our inviting family lounge. Every detail of this refurbishment has been carefully considered to cater for a variety of occasions, blending modern style with the warmth of home. With something for everyone, we can’t wait to welcome guests through our doors.”

With over 1,300 pubs and bars across England, Scotland, and Wales, Marston’s locations range from traditional local and family-friendly pubs to venues designed for a warm, timeless country pub atmosphere offering shared good times for everyone.

The Land Oak reopened on Wednesday 26th November.
