Cask Ale Real Cider

The Royal Oak is a quintessential village inn, an attractive Grade II listed building believed to date back to the 18th Century. The freehouse reopened in 2021 under the new management of two local brothers. The pub serves four real ales and excellent food, both often locally sourced. The Oak is popular with locals and visitors alike. Events include quizzes and occasional live music. Warmed by two open fires, the pub has real character with friendly staff and is very welcoming. In addition to the bar area there is a separate dining area. There is an extensive garden area for outdoor eating and drinking.

One picture shows landlord Robin with his collection of 150 different pump clips which have graced the pump handles at the Royal Oak during his first year. They are from more than 40 breweries demonstrating Robin and his team's passion for real ale. As well as these continuously changing ales, Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter is served.
