The pub name celebrates King Charles II's escape by hiding in an oak tree at Boscobel, Shropshire after the battle of Worcester. King Charles II stayed at the nearby Queene's Arms in Charmouth where he failed in his attempt to find a boat to take him to France. The pub sign shows a commemoration stone in Bridport.
