Yet another first class meal at the Royal Oak. Good old Cod and chips along with chicken creaser salad, both could have come from the Savoy Riverside restaurant. Special thanks to Max who looked after us very well, and the super chefs in the kitchen...of course. Only one small comment, dogs in the restaurant area, bad idea we think. a lovely pooch peed on the carpet while we were eating dinner, owners left staff to clear up the mess. TRMore

Stayed in the village for a few days and dined here twice. The menu was a little limited (the way of the world post covid etc). My wife went 'off piste' for her selection and they accommodated this without a problem (big tick). Nice real...ale (Sussex Ale) Great friendly staff and always busy with locals, proper pub! Right on South Downs Way bonus.More

I love The Royal Oak pub, the owners and staff are so kind, welcoming and friendly. Bliss in particular is super helpful and always attentive. Highly recommend this pub, particularly after a long walk!

Both lamb and beef tough- really struggled to cut. Chicken dry. Parsnips obviously reheated and also impossible to cut. Very disappointing.

Four of us called into The Royal Oak for lunch. Once again everything was lovely, especially Millie who looked after us so well. Pleased to recommend. PS. Only downside, lumping a 10% service charge onto the bill. When paying over £100. for lunch it’s a...bit of a cheek to charge £10.00 to bring it to the table. Happy to give gratuities but it should be left to customers discretion shouldn’t it ! TR.More

Great pub for lunch with a nice patio away from the road. BLT were good. Interesting semm kM exiting of local beers

Had a midweek lunch here. Great atmosphere, place buzzing with people. Small menu but adequate choices. The food was high quality- the best chilli I’ve had in years.

If you'd like a freshly cooked Sunday lunch... DON'T GO HERE. The beef tasted old so I asked when it was cooked - the owner said it was cooked the day before and that's how he's always done it in 23 years in the business...(and that well-known restaurants in Brighton do the same). I'd rather go to a pub/restaurant that takes pride in providing the best quality food. Owner in denial.More

I took my sister there for lunch who came to visit me last Tuesday. There weren't any specials so we ordered off menu. My sis had moussaka and she liked it. I ordered sausage and mash. We had 2 soft drinks and 1tea and coffee....Bill was £51. Seems extortionate. Sausages were not good. Horrible plastic casing. Used to eat here alot last year but will not eat here againMore

We hadn't been to the Royal Oak for many years, my wife decided to book for Sunday lunch. What a good choice, the food was excellent A nice atmosphere inside the pub / restaurant, Saskia was delightful and professional. Good value for money, we will...soon return I'm sure. Give them a try, you won't go away hungry ! TRMore

Amazing location, lovely vibe, great service and food. We were served by Milly who was both spirited and friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience an excellent one. The food and wine is good with a decent selection. It also has a...lovely beer garden at the back too. It’s worth a visit to anyone wanting a genuine country pub experience within a gorgeous countryside setting. Thank you.More

Sunday lunch - incredibly average! Nicely presented but meat was tough, potatoes rock hard and whole thing not overly hot!! Took an age to bring out the condiments after dinner arrived at the table! Wouldn’t recommend very highly!!
