The Royal Oak in New Forest

Lovely traditional friendly village pub serving a great range of real ales and decent pub grub. Cant keep myself from popping in whenever I am in the new forest. However best not to visit as, unsurprisingly, it becoming just a tad too popular these days!

Fantastic pub with a great atmosphere real ales and great landlord and landlady. Would recommend a visit and at lunch times the ploughman’s

GREAT ALE with fabulously friendly staff and open fires which sadly is a rare thing these days. Up there with the East End Arms as a proper locals pub in the New Forest which has surprisingly few real pubs.

A very small pub with a fantastic all year garden with cover and warmth outside. Great beer and restricted but favourable food. Worth a visit as part of a cycle or walk. Set in a lovely spot

Great pub, simple menu but great food and plenty of it- best ploughman's we have ever had. Lots of tables outside and happy for dogs to cone in. Would recommend as part of a walk or even a specific visit.

Lovely little old forest pub full of charm and character. There is a limited menu due to size but well worth a try. Lots of outdoor seating and also some undercover

Thank you for making the humble homemade warm pork pie meal so delicious & healthy. The Double Flack is really good too! We'll be back.

Like many others, we decided to visit after seeing this place on the TV programme "Remarkable Places to Eat" with Fred Sirieix. We live on the edge of the New Forest and tied our visit in with a walk. There are plenty of trails near the pub, which is nice, we walked from the forest car park to the pub since the road was busy. Initially we thought it was a little expensive for a ploughman's, however there was actually a decent amount of food and plenty of cheese! The bread was still warm and the salad and accompaniments were all really tasty. We all ordered different variations and everyone enjoyed their food. I know currently they are only serving in boxes because of covid which made cutting and eating a little fiddly, but the food itself was excellent. A filling lunch after a morning walk, worth a visit.

Went for the first time today and wasn’t disappointed at all. Big garden with plenty of seating and cover, well planned out. My wife and I both had the ham and cheese ploughman’s and was the best pub lunch we have had in a long time. Great value at £10, plenty of it and the quality was top notch, loved the whole lunch.

Nice spot for a pint after a walk or a picnic style lunch. The food boxes were delicious and were generous portions. Good range of options all served with a base salad and coleslaw.Loads of picnic benches outside, some in shade to sit out. Seating atm is all outside.
