The Royal Oak - New Forest

Tony’s frying machine, a mobile fish and chips van, served on Saturday with live music under an outdoor tent-sorted fried fish, hot dogs and obst on the royal oak. the fish is fresh and the teig is light and fritted to perfection. service is fast and friendly. when judged by the people who were there, this seems to be a favorite among the native and families.

This place is ALWAYS busy and it’s easy to see why. Food wise, they only serve ploughman’s. But if you’re going to do one thing then you do it really well! Lovely homemade pickle, dressing, pickled onion and coleslaw. Delish ham, pork pies and sausage rolls. Lots of beers and lagers on tap. Interesting Gins like mermaid gin. I believe they try to source everything locally and you can taste the quality. The perfect pub to walk through the new forest and enjoy a pint afterwards.

Went here on a Wednesday afternoon. Pub is in a beautiful location and has nice beer garden . The ale I bought was flat. I think the barman knew it was from an old cask when he served it. The cask had clearly been sitting there for ages; the pub is not open on Monday and Tuesday. Probably the worse conditioned ale I have ever had. There were lots of local ales to choose from. For a pub that specialises in ale it js not really great. The brewery would not be happy to know this pub is serving its beer in the state it was served to me.

One of the best pub lunches I have ever had, so, so tasty, presentation was incredible, just amazing

Excellent choice of beer from the wood. Wish it was my local
