This a great pub in Hawkhurst and I decided to have lunch before I went to work. I must commend Harry as well as Alfie, who were both very accommodating and welcomed me with a smile. They reacted quickly to any requests that I had and the food tasted great. Also, their lovely dog Mya was lovely. Will be definitely returning to this smashing restaurant. I highly recommend it.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Royal Oak Hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. I booked a room from the 25th to the 1st, expecting a comfortable and enjoyable stay, but the numerous issues I encountered left me thoroughly disappointed.The most significant problem during my stay was the inconsistent heating situation. The hotel seemed to have a policy of turning off the heating intermittently, and despite repeated requests, the issue persisted. I was forced to rely on a portable heater provided by the hotel staff, which is not what one would expect from a 100-pound hotel room. This not only impacted my overall comfort but also raised concerns about the value for money.To add to my discomfort, the rooms I stayed in on the 25th and 26th had hygiene issues. Dog fur on the pillows was a clear sign of inadequate cleaning standards. The water kettle provided was in terrible condition, and the washroom door wouldn't close properly, compromising both privacy and convenience.Moreover, an unusual and irritatingly bright green light in the room (room num -6) significantly impacted the quality of sleep. It was an unexpected disturbance that made the overall ambiance less than desirable.One of the most alarming discoveries was finding dog poop in the corridor. This not only speaks to the cleanliness of the hotel but also raises questions about the level of attention to detail and hygiene.What adds to the disappointment is that two more rooms were booked by my family at the same hotel, and they had all the same experiences ? issues with heating, cleanliness, and the overall condition of the rooms. This consistency across multiple rooms suggests systemic problems within the hotel that need urgent attention.

Turned up out of the blue after our dog walk and we were made very welcome on New Years Day. Lovely ambience and very welcoming to us and out dog. Only had some snacks but they were super. Lovely owners chatted to us for ages and our dogs played in the garden. Lovely afternoon. Will definitely be returning again. Thank you Harry and Hayley. Happy New Year to you.

We've been a few times.. not for food for a long time, but it was lovely in the past.. they are only accepting card payments at present..Update- we stopped in for lunch today, the food was lovely and the staff went above and beyond to cater for vegetarian needs. Photos added regularly.

Comfy place. I heard it got burned out some time ago. They've fixed it up nice. Also I enjoyed the beer, very smooth stuff on the hand

My friend and I by chance went for a drink in the pub . Great place. Warm and friendly staff. Lovely chunky chips. ( the chef was kind enough to cook after hours ) If you love dogs this is the place for you too. Highly recommend.

I organised a surprise meal for my husbands 50th birthday at the Royal Oak. They could not have been more helpful. The meal was for about 25 people. They were very accommodating and were great because everything was done at the last minute re the menus, numbers and everything else.They decorated the table & room for us and the table looked beautiful. The food was delicious.Thank you Harry and the team for making this an absolutely great night and keeping the surprise until the last second.First class service. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing Sunday lunch here. 10 of us including kids and the staff couldn?t have been more helpful.Portions for both the kids and adults were very generous. We had a mixture of roasts and normal main dishes all of which were really tasty. The beef was cooked perfectly and the veg was great too.Desserts were huge and lovely. Chocolate brownie is a good recommendation and kids meals came with ice cream.Good range of beers on tap and nice wine too.Super friendly staff and nothing was too much hassle.Highly recommended.
