As with all Weatherspoon’s, the Penderel’s Oak has a large food menu at low prices which is available all day. Various drinks promotions, plus the standard Weatherspoon’s cocktail list are available along side the usual range of beverages.

Internally, there is a carpeted bar with raised levels, and a variety of seating catering for those who require padded seats; bar stools for the hardened, and slightly segregated booths for the more intimate moments.

The Penderel’s Oak is kitted out with several old fashioned paintings, a chandelier, and several book cases which could be an attempt to give it a cultured air? There is also a family area on hand which is reasonably separate from the rest of the pub.
