Fantastic village pub, good selection of drinks, large games rooms with slittles and pool, beer garden looks good (was raining on our visit). Great food with large portions.

Good service, slightly quirky menu and the garden needs a bit of a makeover

Fantastic Sunday lunch for 10 people last weekend. Not only were we treated to a live music jazz duo, the team at The Royal Oak went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and to provide for our vegan and vegetarian guests as well as two small children. Both food and ambiance were superb! Thank you so much for making our family celebration extra special.

I went for a Sunday roast here with friends this weekend. I had the vegetarian option which was absolutely delicious. The staff can't do enough for you, really friendly and helpful. It turned out that we had a problem with our accommodation booking we had up the road which led us to needing somewhere to stay and the owner was so accommodating to make the apartment upstairs available for us. He went above and beyond...and what a gorgeous apartment!!! Very comfortable and luxurious stay. We'll definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at the Royal Oak. A little gem!!!

Spontaneous lunch idea with a friend. Apon entry the decor was charming and suttle. Quiet Tuesday lunch. Service by Lydia was pin point perfect. The food was otherworldly (trout) paired with a beautiful picpoul bottle of wine. Very reasonable price range. As both of us work in the hospitality industry. We have high standards and this blew us away. Phenomenal is an an understatement.

After seeing the menu we were in 2 minds whether to leave or not as nothing really caught our eye, but there was something on this menu if we stayed, we decided to stay and what a good decision this turned out to be, the food was lovely and a big portion as well, (couldn't manage a pudding), would we go back? a definitely yes we would, a great lunch enjoyed by the 4 of us.

We came here for a lovely late Sunday lunch on mother?s day. After a great walk around Barcombe we settled into the friendly and relaxed pub for some great gastro-pub food and great drinks. We didn?t do starters, but the mains were excellent and we had a great cauliflower cheese for all to dip into. The roast lamb was amazing, the burger great and the fish (haddock on crushed purple potato) outstanding.
Really nice and relaxing. Dog friendly. Lovely staff. Much to recommend.

The team are so friendly. The food is amazing. What more could you ask for from a village pub. They can?t do anything better.
