The Royal Oak has a cracking little dining room, which we are very proud of and in which we serve a traditional pub menu with daily specials and of course our very popular Sunday lunches. The back-bar area opens on to our garden and a rather grand Gazebo. With stunning views over the Surrey Countryside, it's no wonder that we're popular with walkers and ramblers too..If you're driving or working and want a break, great coffee, and free wifi, then please stop by and say 'hello'.
We can not take table reservations for outside tables and a deposit might be required for bookings for six (6) or more in the dinning room.

Lovely friendly people. Doesn't pretend to be a gastropub but the food was excellent
Have been quite a few times now and the staff behind the bar are always welcoming and friendly which should really be a key focus. The manager unfortunately always seems very grumpy, never smiles or says hello and is usually muttering something negative about someone which is a shame, the atmosphere does seem to dwindle when he is around. Could have so much potential as a local pub with more events and a bit of modernisation. Menu is quite standard and quality isn't fantastic but good for a sandwich or some chips. As the only pub in walking distance to so many locals it would be beautiful to see it thrive with a more positive fresh energy from management.
Me and my wife are new to the area. Popped in for a pint. The locals are wonderful! Had a great chat about the history of the area. The bar staff were friendly or just wanted to go home but we don't blame them. It was fun and that's all we'll take from it. Reasonable drink prices. Glad to be a part of the neighbourhood! P.s. sorry lady who was serving us but totally understand. Happy 2024 and hope you get a break :D
Really lovely. I visited this afternoon with a friend for an impromtu Sunday lunch and was really impressed. Facilities-wise and atmosphere-wise it's fairly basic, but it was warm and festive with a nice fireplace. The food was really lovely. The slow roasted lamb shank in particular was very delicious.
Another lovely meal in the Royal Oak. Thursday night special. I chose the steak and my partner chose the Gammon accompanied with a nice bottle of red wine. Steak was cooked exactly to my liking. Compliments to the chef and to Adrian and Calum.
