The Royal Oak

The Royal Oak is located in a quiet backstreet in Borough, Southeast London. The nearest Tube is Borough. This Victorian pub dates from the mid-nineteenth century. In 1997 @harveysbrewery of Lewes in Sussex transformed this run down ex-Courage pub and restored it to its former Victorian glory. This is a traditionally decorated two bar pub that has a cosy intimate feel. The centrepiece to this pub is the beautiful ornate servery which spans both bars. The bar at the back has a period fireplace, historical black and white prints and etched mirrors. The front bar is similarly decorated with brass chandeliers, a boarded floor plus you get a great view of the stunning back bar. There is plenty seating throughout combining conventional tables and chairs plus a few pews. The beer line up consisted of some familiar keg beers plus four Harvey’s cask ales and some no and low options. I decided on a Cruzcampo, my pint was excellent, price point was average. There is a classic British pub grub menu available, Fish & Chips costs £16.50, Roasts are available on a Sunday.
