The Royal Oak in Mole Valley

Lovely vegetarian breakfast, great tea & coffee. Pub was spotless, service very friendly, great to use our local pub again.

Had a great night here tonight. We had burgers which were lovely with chips, onion rings, coleslaw & salad. Wine was good too. Fantastic service . Beautifully clean

The food was good and the service - BUT the toilets were dirty - not just the sanitary ware but there were cobwebs at all levels and one of pans leaked water all over the floor so trousers had to be rolled up to avoid getting them wet! The tables in the restaurant could also have done with a wipe down and the carpet didn't look as it had been hoovered in a while. Would suggest getting a cleaner and then more people would return. I'm afraid we won't be, for a while at least.

First time visit to this pub, but won't be the last - it was excellent in every respect. Very warm welcome from the young lady behind the bar, who looked after us during our stay. Well kept beers and a good menu selection at reasonable prices. Food quality was very good and generous in portion size. It's clear that a lot of investment has been recently put into making this a really nice, comfortable pub - both inside and in the garden to the rear. Already looking forward to a return visit.

Really lovely meal here with great staff and feeling very welcoming. Such a shame some locals had their dogs there barking incessantly and didn’t bother taking them outside. Really ruined a lovely lunch and was not the pubs fault. Certainly give this place a try.

Main manager, who i believe was named Dave or David, was very rude and unwelcoming. All other staff were lovely including a very nice young man who was very helpful. Used to go here a lot but after this i will not be returning.

So pleased this village traditional ( non gastro) pub has reopened . Clean and dog friendly with welcoming log burner and staff . Just had the best Sandwich I've had in ages . Great value and so nice not to have to HAVE a Sunday roast just because its Sunday

Great pub Friendly staff . New decor nice. Excellent fish and chips. Beer well kept. Wish they would get the fire going. Toilets very clean

In all my years of visiting pubs in the UK, I have never experienced such disinterested, unfriendly and unhelpful service as in this pub. We had booked a table, but the bored-looking girl in childish plaits at the bar didn't believe us, saying she didn't have any bookings that day, and accusing us of mistakenly booking the other pub a few yards away. We ordered food and drinks. I chose a ham & cheese toastie, and politely asked if I could have some onion in it. Madam at the bar turned to a very scruffy-looking man (presumably the chef??) slouching at a table, and asked "Is that OK?" He sulkily turned his back and gave a slight nod. I said "He doesn't look very happy about it", whereupon Madam smirks "Well he said it's OK ..."! Having sat down again, we decided we didn't like their attitude, so cancelled our order and went to the nearby Grumpy Mole, which was fantastic, and (unlike the Royal Oak) buzzing with life and a wonderful welcome.

Visited to grab some food and we were not disappointed. Food was well presented and very tasty, good portions and excellent value for money. We had scampi and chips, and ham egg and chips. The ham was of a high quality and very tasty. Staff are polite and buzzing around keeping tables clean. I recommend this pub as a good place to eat.

Unwelcoming and unfriendly. They took a booking for 12.00 midday but when we arrived we were told aggressively that they "weren't cooking until 2.00"! Best bit? They told us to go to the Grumpy Mole next door. We did and they were charming and the food was delicious.

Pub very well presented cleen and tidy and the one member of staff was very polite and helpful. Ordered food and drink from a limited menu for three adults and three children. My friend was served a ham salad with very poor quality ham . And after a 30 minute wait I was served my steak pie with gravy . 1. No gravy. 2. The appearance was very poor quality . The " pie " was served in a meatal tin with a single slice of pastry on top. 3. The gravy in the " pie " was extremely watery . 4. The mash potato served with the " pie " was robbery and dry. 5. We chose to sit in the garden witch was clean and tidy but muddy and had a lovely vuie of the rubbish and scrap from the pub. If you just want a drink with your friends then it would be fine but DO NOT eat there.

Bad atmosphere. Manager extremely rude and arrogant (other staff always lovely) - made to feel completely insignificant. Used to go here every Sunday pre Covid times - will not be going back again.

We were a party of three who sat in the rear garden on a very quiet Wednesday lunchtime, and were served by a young waitress who will shortly be taking up a university place; if she is ever available for work at the Royal Oak again, we can recommend that she be hired, as her friendliness and general level service indicated to us that she would be an asset to the place. Our food was delicious,( the chips were especially good ) and we left feeling well fed and welcomed. If a table in the front of the pub had been available we would have had an excellent view of Brockham; I would gladly eat there again.

Great friendly pub. Excellent covid procedures in place. Table service, bar runners are brilliant, they watched the tables ensuring we didn’t have to wait to be serviced. Polite and friendly staff, a real credit to the pub. Good range of snacks and food.

We came to have lunch on my Son’s birthday. We had visited the pub in pre COVID times and enjoyed the food and the service . Today We were the only customers on the premises so no atmosphere . We were given only a very basic menu and told that was the only one available , we ordered the food , hamburger, veggie burger and cheese panini it left a lot to be desired .. There was a man (maybe the landlord ?) constantly walking back and fore past our table going outside with garden furniture ...... totally annoying and disturbing , no apology was made . These people don’t deserve to be in business ..... the whole place was SO unwelcoming .

We've been here a few times with my mates. It was good fun with a few drinks and some bar snacks. Nice area, especially if you are into hiking.

Good place for a pint with mates. Traditional and ambient, polite staff, good selection of alcohol. We were satisfied.

Lovely traditional pub. Very well kept beers. Friendly and polite staff. Great views of Brockham Green. 10/10 would recommend.

The young staff were nice and polite, and the pub seemed COVID-19 Compliant, but the older manager was rather brusque. Service was slow. Loud ‘biker’ ie heavy rock style music was playing which I’m sure reflected the taste of the manager rather than their clientele. Offputting. Food (bar snackmenu only) was served from a polystyrene box and was not appetising at all. Damp fries and tasteless breadcrumbed fish. I wouldn’t eat here again, but the beer was fine.

This was an impromptu trip. Sadly no food post Covid but a really exceptional location, great beer, friendly staff and a well managed social distancing policy. Great to see this place reopened. Harvey's is so well kept. Thank you.

Excellent meal and excellent service from Jasmine. Lovely environment Good beer. And good music - not too noisey

We have been here twice now, 1st visit: just myself and my husband. Had a lovely evening sitting and chatting, ended up staying a few hours. 2nd visit: brought the mother in law, grown up kids in the Christmas week, and played board games and spent a couple of hours there. The pub staff are fabulous, they have made us feel really welcomed. We have spoken to the Landlord Tim on both occassions and was telling us his background. This pub is definately in safe hands and we will make this a pub as one of our favourites. We will be back very soon and we will eat next time. We saw food coming out from the kitchen and it looked and smelt lovely. Lovely pub, go visit for yourselves to find out.

We were a party of 11- coming for lunch after a walk. Table ready when we arrived and friendly welcome fromTim. Menu was varied - we had roast/ sausage and mash/ burgers/ fish and chips - food was delicious- good size portions . Staff were friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be going back!

Stopped off for lunch after a rather muddy walk and was greeted by Tim and team with a very warm welcome. 11 of the family plus the hound. A lovely pub lunch with nice choice of food and good sized portions. Dog friendly. Family friendly - even allowed my Mum in. A lovely way to end the walk.

Friend had plateful of prawns on fresh lettuce with slices of oval bread for a starter, good if you are hungry enough.I had confit of duck leg, it should fall off the bone but I had to ask for a steak knife. A good selection of lovely veg. Mashed potato passable, but why does nowhere do a good one with butter and pepper?

Just had an amazing sausage and mash better than trendy London restaurants. Highly recommend and a great view of the green.

My wife and I spent a great evening at the Royal Oak last night (28/09/19) the food was excellent, a proper pie just like my mum used to make!!! all the food was perfect and you could not wish for better more friendly staff, we will definitely be back, can't praise it enough. P&F Dorking

Book a table for one o clock gone two at this point and still no sign of any food only to be told that the empty bar , restaurant is busy . A truly disappointing not to be repeated repeated .

Ideally situated on the green - take your drink outside and revel in the beauty of a quintessential English village. Good food too!

Have eaten here 3 times in last couple of weeks, and each time we have enjoyed a good meal. I must mention that the chef makes a proper homemade pie, shortcrust pastry and you get a very large slice of it. Last night it was steak and guiness, think it changes daily. Several of the puddings were also homemade, I had apple and blackberry pie with custard. You can sit either in the bar area or restaurant section. Rear garden needs improving to make it more welcoming, but that's about it for suggestions.

A group of us went for a walk from the pub then returned for lunch. We had preordered meals and these were served to us efficiently with a cheerful manner. Food was good and set us up for an afternoon walk.

I visited on Sunday the week before last but unfortunately have been too busy to write a review. I had stopped in whilst on a walk with friends for a few rounds. We weren’t planning on eating and this seemed to be a good thing, the bar was full of customers and there was only one barmaid. She was trying her hardest to serve everyone as efficiently as possible and making sure that she served us customers in the ‘first come first serve’ order as she should. She did seem very young however she knew what she was doing. There was no other staff members in sight until the chef came out of the kitchen saying she needed to serve food. The poor girl couldn’t be in two places at once. When buying what was probably my groups third round I saw that there were actually two other staff members working with her. Clearly they had picked a bad time to take a break.

Two stars more reflecting our disappointment more than anything quality related. Had a great lunch here on a previous walk and consciously set out on a long hike to get to The Royal Oak at half-way. All going to plan, lovely day and pub had "Food served all day" board outside and menus in the bar but as we ordered our drinks there followed a slightly awkward moment when it became clear food wasn't an option. A large party was due in about 10-15 mins and we were fairly bluntly told that two burgers was beyond the capacity of the chef so we had to move on.

Choice of two pubs in village so chose this one as the other is a chain (Grumpy Mole). Nice welcome but it seems the young lady serving was quite new and got flustered trying to work out the change. Seems the ladies toilets are in the process of being refurbished but the carpet could do with replacing - old, faded and a bit sticky. Sat in garden as weather was so nice - this is a wasted asset, would be so much nicer if the grass was cut, the tables painted with woodstain and some tubs of flowers but appreciate how little free time there is when running a pub. A good village pub however.

We are limited to a choice in Brockham, for somewhere to have a few drinks or a hearty meal. The Royal Oak fits that bill quite nicely. Is situated on Brockham Green with a nice outlook onto the varied architecture of the village. Has a good selection of real ales, ciders, lagers and the option of Guinness, with some good bottled beers. A good wine list and with summer coming up a good selection of gins (some locally distilled). The menu changes to suit the seasons and the food is very good value for money. They appear to have a very good kitchen staff. Just one thing, if you want to eat Sundays is a good idea to book a table, especially if the weather is good.

We stopped in for a light lunch during our cycle ride. The main menu was extensive but since we were after a light meal the waitress went to great lengths choosing things from the different menus to accommodate our varied requirements including vegetarian options. The service was excellent as the waitress kept coming to see if we were ok and providing anything we needed very quickly. We really felt welcome and had a lovely lunch in the pub garden where we were able to leave our bikes very securely. We have now ear marked this pub as a new favourite tea stop and hope to visit again soon.

Excellent lunch for the four of us. We booked a table inside but chose to eat out the front of the pub in the sun looking over the village green. Service was great, water brought to the table without having to ask, wait time for the food very good. I had a chicken and ham pie which was lovely, others had the cod wrapped in bacon, reported to be excellent. We hadn’t been here before but will definitely return.

We stumbled upon this pub when looking for a dog friendly place to stop for lunch. It has just been taken over by a new owner 2 weeks ago and the food was far beyond what we expected. Courgette flower starter was quality, and the friendly service made it a memorable experience. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent service is matched with good for and beverages. In the summer thare is also an outside area that is also nice.

We had a very nice experience at the Royal Oak. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was very tasty. We will be going back again very soon.

The scene at Brockham Green is lovely, especially on a warm summer's day, and this pub is situated right there- which makes for a lovely afternoon drink. I personally have no problem with the wine, but I have it on good authority from my husband and his friends that the draught beer is simply awful- therefore only buy bottles if you go!

We stopped by for drinks during our walk from Reigate to Dorking. The pub was quiet, and was staffed by one of those magnificent barmaids, friendly but totally in charge of her domain. The pub was spotlessly clean, very glass gleamed, and the beer was poured efficiently. We sat outside in the winter sunshine, and we just knew that our empty glasses would be gathered, washed, and back on their shelves before we walked the length of the village green.

Just love this pub lovely log fire with a fantastic atmosphere friendly staff just a nice feeling and with a nice meal check it out you won’t be disappointed 🤪

Nice log fire and comfortable wing backed chairs. Staff were friendly and the soup was home-made. Just had lunch but would recommend it.

Had a simple evening meal and a drink. The food has fantastic, very tasty. I will have to go back. Service was good and friendly.

Popped in today for a roast with the wife. I must say one of the best roasts I’ve had in a pub. Good value for money and a great portion ohh errr! Would definitely come back! Live Jazz while we ate too!!

Popped into the Royal Oak in Brockham the other day. I'm not from the area, but I must say, it's always a pleasure to stumble across a real gem completely by accident. It had a good balance of traditional decor and a modern vibe, a great range of beers and a barmaid that was as pretty as she was friendly! The manager was as helpful and welcoming as any manager I've ever met in any bar I've ever drank or worked in. Will definitely make the effort to go back next time I find myself in the Surrey Hills.

Having lived in the village for a while and seen many changes to the Royal Oak I would just like to say that I believe the pub has finally turned a corner and is now being run properly. The new owner Richard is charming, courteous and obviously has much experience in keeping good beer and cellar craft. The manager Jacqui greets us with a cheery smile and is always warm and welcoming without ever being obtrusive. And they obviously have a new chef as the food has improved massively over the last few months. Great portion sizes, value for money, interesting menu choices and daily specials. Last Sunday's pork belly was the best roast we've ever had in a pub.

We had Ham,Egg,Fries and Beans. It cost £12. The portions were small and it was very basic. Disappointing.

I am a bit late in writing this review apologies, we visited the Royal Oak on Thursday 23rd August with relatives from Canada, I have to say, everything was lovely, from the greeting we received to the lovely waiter (I think his name was Jack) and the food, there were eight of us and everyone enjoyed their meals. The service we received was very attentive and to the right degree. Thank you and see you soon.

Lennon is a fantastic chef, he is passionate about his food. He displayed the lamb before cooking it. It melted in the mouth. The rest of the meal was great. Jazz at 3pm. Staff were fantastic and very attentive despite the restaurant being full. We shall visit again. Get there early to get a table most were booked.

What a delightful village pub, fabulous staff, great atmosphere and the bonus of superb jazz on a weekday in Brockham. Will certainly return and wish the new owner and his staff every success.

Haven’t been in here for a year or so because last visit was not good !

First time here. What a lovely evening out. Staff were amazing. Food was excellent courtesy of the new chef Lennon. Chef came out to greet us to make sure our food was to our liking. Would definitely come again. Thank you to one and all. Nikki and Jimmy

Originally was going to the Grumpy Mole but there was no signs of life although gone 11;00 am, so decided to try the Royal Oak whick looks lovely and has a nice view of the green and village. We were told there was no food serving until noon so we walked around the village to help whet the appetite. It was clear that it had recently been taken over judging by various comments by the staff. It is a lovely pub on the inside though the garden needs a lot doing to it to make it more appealing. Staff were friendly and we didn't have to wait too long to be served, the presentation was good and the portions adequate if a little over-priced. The menu has changed since we went in early July, and looking at some comments on here since then it may be going through teething problems, but it is a nice watering hole with a lovely aspect and we may give it another visit...

Dropped into the Royal Oak for the first time since the latest "take over" for a work stop over for lunch.

What a superb location, right in the middle of the village, looking over the green towards the church. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, the new owner is a certainly a cheeky character making customers feel right at home! The female staff are particularly helpful, and importantly the barman attentive with a bright smile.

Visited this delightful pub whilst en route to friends. Met the owner who was very charming and accommodating and Jacqui, who served us, was very attentive to our needs. Burgers were delicious. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Stopped here while passing through on Sunday afternoon with the children for a bit of lunch.

Having been the to the pub today for lunch with my partner and son, I can say I will never be returning and will advise other people not to go either.

Met some friends here for lunch. Have visited many times before and always been good but apparently under new ownership since 2nd July. Waited an hour for a jacket potato..when it finally arrived it was too hard to eat and also contained the wrong filling...cheese instead of tuna.

Stopped for lunch here on a family bike ride. The food was disgusting. Service poor. Massively overpriced- though couldn’t have eaten it whatever the price. We would have asked for our money back - but we’d already waited over an hour for the food to arrive and the staff clearly couldn’t have coped with a complaint.

I visited twice in a week and both times it was fantastic. My sandwich was a little mean for the price and not served with crisps or chips at the price they charge was a bit disappointing. But had the pie mash and veg another day which was excellent.

After a drive out from home25 minutes later,we came across a lovely little village green with what l can only describe a nice boozer blooming with customers sitting outside with their bikes and dogs. Not forgetting there tipple.

A fantastic Pub that has recently come under new ownership. The owners are all about making you feel comfortable and ensuring you have a great evening. I took my family here at and they fit us in at the very last minute. Food was delicious. I will be back.

Sadly on this follow up visit the evening was a disaster. Apparently the chief was not there (late), so had some drinks. Fifteen minutes later told that chief still not turned up. When food finally arrived it was not up to standard. Wife's jacket potato raw in the middle, my cheeseburger soggy and tasteless. Service slap dash, not professional at all. Would I go back? No. Grumpy mole across the road much better. Bit dearer, but far superior. Pull your socks up Royal Oak.

We visited on Saturday night for a spontaneous bite to eat. What a lovely atmosphere & great service. I had the tex-mex burger & my husband had the duck, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Visited on Sunday 13 th, as a family treat for a Special Birthday.

Table booked for 1 pm very short staffed and a long wait to order, long wait for food. Did not bother staying for dessert or coffee as scouts were doing afternoon tea on the green.

We decided to take a trip out last night for a meal, and decided on the royal oak, we are so glad we did,the pub is lovely and is set in a beautiful village,the beer was well kept and tasted great, and as a whisky drinker there were so many to chose from,the staff were both friendly and very welcoming,the food was delicious scampi and chips, and a steak for me with a side of garlic bread, which was oozing YUM YUM,big thanks to all the staff for making our night out, such a lovely one, we will definitely be back to sample more of the menu.

Following a trip to another restaurant that was closed at after 12 midday on a Bank Holiday we came to the Royal Oak - couldn't have made a better choice! Staff attentive, polite, cared as to whether we enjoyed our experience here - will return

We have visited the Royal Oak a few times now, primarily as the owners are just fab and they are so lovely and welcoming to us and our little boy.

My husband and I had Sunday Lunch in Brockham today. I googled the menu beforehand and found a dish that I liked. When we arrived there was a notice outside saying that there was a new menu. I complained to Jackie the manager that my dish wasn't on the menu. Jackie was very pleasant, apologised and offered us a free drink. My husband really enjoyed his food but I made the wrong choice and complained again to Jackie. Again she was very pleasant and offered us both free desserts. Whilst waiting for the desserts I wondered if I'd googled the menu for the right pub, went outside to check the name and found that I'd googled the menu for the wrong pub! Hugely embarrassed I confessed to Jackie thinking she might be annoyed and charge for the drinks and desserts but she didn't, she laughed and said we could still have the freebies! In the end we all had a good laugh and my husband and I had a really good time, huge thanks to Jackie. We highly recommend The Royal Oak and will be back!

This was a half way stop in a walk. The landlords (fairly new to the pub) were really friendly and helpful. We sat outside and when they saw we had a toddler with us they brought out a high chair. Then when they saw we had dogs they brought a bowl of water. We had a selection of the light bites to share and this was just right for us along with some ale and soft drinks.

I went for a family lunch on Easter Sunday and I was not disappointed at all.

We stopped by for lunch a couple of weekends ago with our 19 month old son. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, helping us get everything we needed to make our son comfy.

It's a lovely local pub. New landlords are welcoming to regulars and one off visitors. Great meal tonight, good friendly attentive service and we'd bought family here who were impressed. Well done Sue and Gary for getting to know the locals so quickly and looking after us all tonight, we all had a great relaxing evening.

We have been in this pub many times and eaten Sunday Lunch, Afternoon snacks and evening meals all have been great, We have just got back from a Friday night at the Royal Oak and it had a REAL village pub feel, It has great friendly staff who could not do enough for you and made you feel at home like a local. The Atmosphere was good as was the food i had the Salmon my partner had the Pie both meals were served quickly presentation looked great to, The Empty Plates said all we needed to about the food perfect!!!

Very welcoming friendly staff, very good meal, varied menu. Good selection of wine and London pride. Came from Worthing to stay with friends, would recommend.

Four friends met up for lunch to catch up at noon Service was a bit slow but staff were very friendly. It was steak Wednesday so two ordered Fillet. The peppercorn sauce was tasty but there wasn’t much flavour in the meat I am afraid. It also took three quarters of an hour for the mains to come out and people on other tables were getting restless at the wait for theirs too.

Pub lunch for my wife and kids on Mothers Day. Part of the TWS group and under new ownership, very busy but you kind of expect that on Mothers Day. Food not as special as I've come to expect from TWS but ok and I enjoyed the local ale brewed at the Royal Oak in Holmbury. Probably better to visit on a quieter day and with a normal full menu rather than a Mothers Day special menu and it was clear they were struggling with the number of covers booked for the same time, which is TWS's failing in setting it up like that. Super location for a wander around the village of Brockham as well.

Firstly this is my first review. I joined specifically. Hopefully it conveys how disappointed we are.

We visited the Royal Oak for Mother’s Day lunch, and have to say what a disappointment. The service was abysmal...

Visited The Royal Oak today for Mother’s Day and was very much looking forward to this, because of the how...

Vriendelijk personeel , gezellig en lekker eten .... mooie locatie .... managers zeer vriendelijk en professioneel

Just had lunch at the Royal Oak in Brockham today. The food and service was great. Nothing was too much trouble especially as we can be very demanding with our requirements. We were looked after by Gary and we send him very special thanks and best wishes. He was really welcoming and helpful. We will be returning next weekend.

Visit irregularly but always a good welcome. Last visit, left a treasured scarf behind. It was no trouble to them, and is now back in my care. A place to enjoy.

We popped in on impulse and had a great meal! Half the family are vegetarian and had lovely options too!

My husband and I stayed nearby for the weekend. We were after a relaxed friendly atmosphere and we definitely found that in this pub. We had food & drinks Fri & Sat nights, & the roast lunch on Sunday. Very friendly and helpful managers Gary & Susan have been working hard the past 5 weeks to improve everything here.

The new managers are doing a great job of running the Oak. I always prefer to see a couple in charge, rather than very young adults. The young chef trained under Tony Tobin. There is a new menu, everything from Sunday lunches, beef cheeks, and about seven different burgers. I only wanted a light bite so ordered salmon fish cakes and sweet potato fries and hubby had the chilli burger, both were extremely good. Lovely view over Brockham green and the church.

We came here by chance after hike in Box Hill. Pub has really nice atmosphere and very interesting selection of dishes. The choice of burgers is wider than in special burger restaurants. I was really tempted by the Tuna Melt burger, my friend - French (with melted camembert and caramelised onions). Portions were huge, everything was very fresh, service was really nice. We massively enjoyed it and will definitely come back if in the area.

We visited here on Sunday for lunch. It was a beautiful Sunny Day for November & just warm enough to sit outside the pub in coats. What a treat! We ordered 4 Sunday Roasts, 2 Crispy Pork Belly & 2 Roast Beef. Our table number instructed us to collect cutlery & sauces from the station inside. It became apparent after a confusing exchange with staff that this was out of date. But, it was the food that was such a let down. Roast potatoes under cooked, with black bruises and possibly deep fried not roasted. The veg was OK. The crispy pork belly was not crispy, it had not been cooked for long enough and was flabby with the top pan fried / grilled for colour. Yuck. The beef was so bad we were not sure it was beef. Pan fried Gravy.......yeah, Bisto's best. Apple sauce from a Coleman's jar, really? How hard is to make apple sauce? It wasn't overly expensive at around £14 ish, but I'd rather pay more for real food. Nice spot for a drink.....I wouldn't eat here again. It was a family occasion that had been spoiled enough already so we didn't speak to the venue whilst there but it felt like a rip off having to pay for it.

When we visited the pub, being very pleasant in the past, we most definitely will not be returning. My guest ordered the soup which came and was more like badly flavoured water than a wholesome soup which is what you'd expect in a country pub. I ordered the crayfish cocktail, a dish you'd expect to be packed with flavour and rich with sauce, it came and was dry past the first small layer then I was left with watery lettuce.

Very well organised and planned evening last night. The manageress and her team should be very proud of themselves. We had a sensational evening there. We are regulars at this pub but had not been to this event before. The £10 pre ticket entry was well worth it and the right thing to do. Great food, great vibe there last night and would 100% get a ticket for next year. Well done Team Royal Oak. James.

We have visited The Royal Oak several times and their Sunday roasts have been absolutely lovely, but on this occasion it was not up to their previous standard.

Ordered rump steak medium but it was served medium rare. After complaining it was taken away to reheat but when it came back it was the same rare inside.

We enjoyed our walk along the valley of the Mole to the next village of Betchworth and back again to Brockham. We had booked a table at The Royal Oak, our table by the window overlooked the green. What a lovely pub, deservedly very popular by walkers and locals. We received a very warm and friendly welcome. Two of us chose the Sunday Roast, the other two had Plaice, we all really enjoyed our mains. My daughter and husband had ideally wanted Vegetarian Roast, but unfortunately this was not on the menu, although the waitress did double check with the kitchen, we did feel a non meat addition to the Roast menu was disappointing. We all had room for a dessert which was a nice end to our meal.

Pub was quite a nice experience however would not order Sunday roast there again. Shockingly small portions (it was so small I had to go back to the bar to check as it was smaller than my child's meal!!) and very overcooked vegetable(s). (1.5 potato, 2 baby carrots and 6 peas).

Great Sunday lunch with family and very hospitable Landlady who was attentive but never overbearing. Roast beef was of a very high standard with crispy potatoes and flavoursome and very rare Beef (exactly to our taste) the landlady was quick to 'warn' us of it rareness which would be handy for those who prefer their beef well done.
