The Oakwood, High Street, Glossop
A tradionally named pub with an untraditional feel. The front bar is filled with pale pine, circular tables and wooden chairs, there are plants on the windowsills, and modern paperback books, which look like they are meant to be read and are not just there for show, as in most pubs. It has more the feel of a Bohemian London cafe than a pub. The upstairs room is performance space. There were posters in the window for a performance of a play by the Two's A Crowd theatre company when I visited.
