picture of The Royal OakA wonderful Victorian pub in the heart of Borough, the Royal Oak is a winner in every department. It serves a selection of excellent ales (including Mild, Pale, Best and Christmas Ale and Porter in winter) by Harvey's of Lewes and also offers a very good menu; on a previous visits, we've enjoyed such delights as an excellent steak and ale pie, Lancashire Hotpot and rabbit casserole. The service is friendly and efficient, the shortish wine list is pretty decent and is mostly French (good) and now there's an extensive list of ciders should ale or wine not be to your taste. The pub has the feel of a vibrant local rather than just an after-office drinker, with a good mix of people who are in no hurry to leave. On this evidence, why would they? And now it's open at the weekends - great!

Proper pub grub, tasty and cheap; pies are especially good and they serve Sunday roasts, too.
