Local record

History of this pub

The Great Oak was built in 2006 on unused land at the A3's Berelands interchange on Winchester Road, opening that September as a Brewers Fayre alongside a 50-bedroom Premier Travel Inn. By 2008 it had become a Table Table, and in 2018 it was turned into a Beefeater. CAMRA describes it simply as a pub-restaurant beside the A3 and A272 junction, and the Petersfield Post reported in May 2026 that it would close with the rest of the chain, which it did on 10 September.
