History
Located in the rural hamlet, Ryehill, the pub itself dates back to the 17th Century. Situated on the old Hedon to Patrington Road, it was bypassed when the new road was cut in the early 19th Century. In the early Directories of Licenced Houses, theinn was known as 'Royal Oak', a name associated withthe Restoration of Charles II in the 17th Century. It is reputed that the monarch escaped his enemies at the battle of Worcester by hiding in an oak tree.IN 1880 the pub changed its nameto the Crooked Billet under the ownership of William Edlington. Peter Snow was the next landlord who had the pub for 40 years. The inns name is quite common in Yorkshire alludes to a ragged staff made from a tree branch, the usual weapon of the country yokel. The pub received a complete reconstruction in 1939, and is now part of the Marston's estate.
