The Royal Oak is the third most common pub name in Britain

Oak Apple Day was declared a public holiday by parliament, and its official celebration continued until 1859. The date is still celebrated as Founder's Day at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. 

The Royal Oak is the third most common pub name in Britain. Since the Restoration there have been at last eight warships called HMS Royal Oak.
