My son and I had a wonderful vegetarian meal last night and the best sticky toffee pudding for dessert we'd ever tasted. Although there was only one option for vegetarians, it wasn't the usual drab mushroom risotto and the like. The chef had obviously put much thought into this dish, which resulted
My husband and I have just had a wonderful lunch at The Royal Oak. It is our Ruby wedding anniversary today and wanted to do something special......we were not disappointed 😃.
The pub situated just off the main A30 is set in the very pretty village of Swallowcliffe.
The building itself is lovely and
We spent two wonderful nights at The Royal Oak and loved it! It is a beautiful old pub with delicious food and drink. Our room was spacious and very well appointed. The staff was all friendly, kind and fun. Alexis was the best!
