Pilgrim Oak High Street Hucknall
lets start with Hucknalls most popular pub right in the middle of the town centre. Opened on july 14th 1998 it was once a fine fare supermarket and several stores after that. Named after a tree which stood at the entrance to Newstead Abbey (about 3 miles from Hucknall) which is the ancestral home of Lord Byron the poet who is buried in Hucknall Parish Church (close to the pub on the market place). It is a JD wetherspoons pub and has a wide range of real ales, wines, ciders and other drinks which are reasonably priced. The pub opens at 8am everyday and does the usual wetherspoons fayre again at reasonable prices (i can personally reccommend the farmhouse breakfast). Children are welcome in the pub if the parents are eating until 9pm. the pub closes at 12 midnight everyday. The pub is quite busy at any time but particularly Friday and Saturday nights from teatime onwards. It also hosts several beer festivals throughout the year. there are tv screens dotted around the pub which usually show sky news but the sound is usually so low you can't hear anything so i can't really see the point. Music is not played and its a very good place for conversation and a good pint. The bar service can be a bit slow at times in my opinion especially at busy times and i'd like to see the tables cleared and wiped much more than they are but all in all i think its a decent place.
