Dine with Your Dog
Described by The Good Food Guide as very much a dining destination. Everything on the menu is dedicated to seasonal, contemporary British food and every dish has its own unique twist to allow the natural flavours to sing. The Royal Oak prides themselves on using the very best of local suppliers wherever possible - think fresh fish caught from the South Coast, smoked salmon and Selsey crab, venison and pheasant, ice-cream and cheese. The wine list features more than 100 wines from both the Old and New Worlds, with a wide range of ale, cider and spirits also available. Whether you choose to sit in the contemporary dining area, the relaxing bar or outdoor terrace, you will enjoy the best food and drink on offer. Canine companions are welcome in the bar by the cosy fire and on the terrace in warm weather if you fancy dining al-fresco!
