The Oakman Brands

Oakman operates two key brands 'Oakman Inns' and 'Beech House'. The Oakman Inn is the original iteration and is designed to be secondary to the local identity of the pub. It is in effect an endorsement brand. The original business plan identified a demand for a warm, welcoming pub that embodied all that is good with respect to the historical values of British pubs but operated at a standard expected by the modern day consumer.

Alongside this was the insight that the general demand for smart, casual dining was growing but in certain areas, particularly small market towns and around the edges of larger towns, that demand was not being satisfied. From this insight the concept of the modern public house and the development of the Oakman Inn as an operating concept for premium pubs with an individual local identity but supported by best in class systems and processes.

The brand promise of "We want to see you again" encapsulates what an Oakman Inn is to its consumer - a friendly, professional business focused on delighting and engaging its guests and forming an enduring relationship with the local community. Following the success in 2013 of the Beech House in Beaconsfield, the Oakman management team quickly recognised the opportunity to develop the concept as a high street offering capable of being developed in retail units and, thereby, providing further flexibility in terms of the type of sites that Oakman could acquire. Furthermore, because these sites do not suffer from the same planning restrictions as listed buildings, they could be developed more quickly, and, at a lower cost than traditional Oakman sites.

The brand thinking was developed further for the opening of the second Beech House in St. Albans in 2014. Designed to introduce a more welcoming business to high streets populated by bland casual dining brands; the brand promise created was that The Beech House should be "a friendly neighbourhood bar and restaurant serving food that people want to eat with big flavours, no pretence, and no culinary boundaries. Our food is always authentic, tasty, sustainable and seasonal. We want people to relax, feel at home and always trust us to be trying our best to give them what they want throughout the day".

The pysical design was further evolved to evoke an artisanal feel that delivers a promise of homeliness and authenticity. The Beech House layout features zones that progress through the building. The bar becomes the café and then the restaurant both in terms of aesthetic feel and operational functionality. The St Albans site was also a huge success and was awarded the accolade of Best New Pub Design in the UK at the 2015 Publican Awards.

In terms of operating methodology and support systems a Beech House is exactly the same as any other Oakman Inn. However, there are subtle differences in the offer, for example it stocks more craft beers, and in the feel of the business with a different uniform, menu design and music profile. The brand image has a progressive feel reflecting of the values and self-image of the forward looking, modern consumer who are prevalent in prosperous market towns.
