"My friend and I decided to take a trip to the country on Sunday 8th October. I prebooked a table for 3 for a Sunday roast. I’d not been to the Royal oak for a number of years, but remember having a nice experience the last time I visited. We arrived for 3, stood in the bar for some time there was no acknowledgment by the 2 young girls who were making coffee and drinks, not even a hello. After an uncomfortable few minutes an older man came over to us and said very insincerely “ I’m afraid there are no roast dinners left” he then showed us the 4 options still available chips, bean broth stew and some other awful choices. We could not believe it! Never ever have I experienced anything like this when I’ve reserved a table somewhere. We said to the man “ surely in situations like this it would be courteous to give us a call so we don’t waste a car journey up here, in all honestly it was apparent he couldn’t care less. After making some calls we headed back to hove and got a fabulous roast dinner at carne. Due to this experience I will never return to this pub so unprofessional, also there were so many reservations still on the tables, I’d imagine there were many more very disappointed customers after us. Surely when people prebook it should give the kitchen an idea of how busy the day is going to be!"

Lovely country pub with a great children’s play area to the side. We only stopped for a drink and some chips on the way out of Brighton, but the chips were fab and the food we saw coming out to other tables looked amazing, so we’ll go back for lunch or dinner soon. Spacious and a good sized car park. Kid-friendliness: Large wooden pirate ship to play on Price per person: £1–10
