Description:This Inn is on the Holyhead Road (A41) at its junction with Strawmoor Lane. Most of the land in this locality was owned by landowners (including the Wrottesley Estate) each owning quite a number of fields. But the site of the “Foaming Jug” was shown on the Oaken Tithe Award of 1838 o be a small isolated plot of just over an acre owned by a John Royston and having a house on it. It was not then licensed. John Royston did not own any other land in Oaken and there must have been some special reason why he (or his predecessors) acquired this site from a larger landowner. The VCH says the house was converted into licensed premises in the 1880s. It was re-furbished in 1997
