The Button Oak Inn is at least 300 years old and is at the heart of Button Oak village. The name Button Oak is thought to come from the word 'boothen', the plural of booth - a shelter used by charcoal burners who lived in the area. Charcoal burning was a time consuming occupation with the burners keeping watch over their charcoal mounds for five or six days at a time in order to produce the best quality charcoal. Old pictures on the pub walls show when it was also a petrol station! Inside the pub there is a seating area for diners and a bar for drinkers to prop themselves up on and a cosey seated area around a log burner. In addition to this there is also small rear room for diners. There is a large garden with benches to the side of the building, a large covered smoking area and a courtyard drinking area too. The pub sits in acres of land with Wyre Forest close by which is very popular with walkers/dog walkers and off-road cyclists. Motor Home owners are welcome to park overnight: the pub is listed in the "Britstop" guide.
