This pub was built as part of the post-war new town initiative to have a pub, school and local shops at the centre of each new housing estate.Very much a community based local tucked away in the back streets of the Oakfield district of Cwmbran, and with a typical estate pub feel, but welcoming and friendly. At the rear is a large enclosed garden with a smoking room. Good value Sunday lunches take the form of a buffet. Midweek opening time in Summer is 2pm.Dark clouds are on the horizon for this community with local shops closed and shuttered, the neighbouring primary school is due to close, while the large comprehensive school is under threat of closure, all of which is likely to have adverse impact on local traders. The licensees of the Oakfield themselves may be on the move soon due to the downturn in trade suffered by so many pubs these days.
