The Royal Oak in Horsham

Great traditional pub racked Harvey's fabulous food thank you we will return

A lovely out of the way traditional pub with fabulous food. Highly recommend Ploughmans,the pasty, and the layered potato & cheese dish. Good puds too.

Went here on a quiet Monday lunchtime for a walk and lunch for my Birthday. We ate the Tartiflette and the Fisherman's platter and both were incredible, the rest of the menu looks really nice as well. Friendly staff, good service and really good food, very reasonably priced too. We will be back!

Delicious! We love this gorgeous little pub with it's big outdoor space. Finally ate here after always just missing out on the last table or waiting to book too late in the week and the food was fabulous and such great value for money

Excellent place. It's nice to go out in the sticks and not encounter the usual idiots you find in Burgess Hill. Staff were polite and friendly. A really nice afternoon.

Lovely place for a Sunday Roast. We had a fantastic family lunch. Everything as expected

Lovely local, haven't eaten but a broad range on menu. Harvey's and Long Man ales on draught.

Always fantastic food and service

Food was good but not something id race back for. Service was a bit sluggish but the atmosphere made up for it

Excellent Caesar chicken salad and a pint of barrel kept Harvey's beer. What could be better?

Good cask beer and very tasty light lunch.

A great country pub and a friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit...go!!

Great pub! Friendly and helpful...go!!!

A great, friendly pub! We'll be back.....soon!

Called in for a pint mid-afternoon and to see the menu for maybe later return. Appears 2 small rooms with an old smokey pub feel about them. Friendly staff. Didn’t look at menu as wouldn’t want to eat there. There is a large tented area outside to sit on warm enough days.

Hard to find pubs with such a amazing food these days but Royal Oak had it!! Open sandwiches very absolutely delicious 😋

Lovely old country pub great food fantastic staff, and the wonderful thing about the oak is it never changes.

Charming old school pub, definitely watch your head on the beams. Birthday lunch for the mother in law and wasn't disappointed. Excellent ploughman's which was recommended and staff and settling was excellent. Looking forward to going back to try the Sunday lunch

Lovely old pub with friendly service . Roast was not great beef tasted strange and drowning in gravy. Limited menu.

Little Country pub with great food and fabulous service

Booked table for my Sister and me for Sunday Roast. Phone answered promptly and politely v efficient - nice table next to window - lovely food great location - proper country pub. Made welcome will go again.

Best chicken and leak pie I have ever had !!

Beautiful old pub with so much character, Sunday roast was very good.

Absolutely stunning pub with world-class food. We've been to The Royal Oak a few times now for food, and it never disappoints. The menu is always a perfectly tuned selection of traditional pub dishes made with locally sourced produce. Everything from the starters to the desserts is without fault. The service is always excellent too with friendly staff. I appreciate how much the history and character of the place remains intact. Everything about the pub has an old English rustic charm. May it never change!

Great country pub in rural West Sussex. Lovely welcoming open fire, delicious lunch and a flavoursome beer 🍺 😋.

A fabulous traditional pub with excellent food and welcoming landlord. You even have to go outside for the gents. Reminds me of the Kentish pubs of my youth. Well worth a visit.

Just an amazing old pub, the ploughmans was incredible. Pork belly was also great. Happy to sit there all night.

Good food. No great food. Happy to be back.

Staff were great. Food very tasty and nicely cooked. Nice atmosphere. Good range of beers.

Stunning quaint pub in beautiful surroundings Service was above and beyond xx

Food was very tasty. And good portion sizes. Excellent service.

Very cosy, beautiful fire, love the wild mushrooms on sourdough, real quintessential English pub😊

Love this beautiful, classic country pub in the heart of sussex

A proper country pub with delicious food and scenery

Lovely traditional pub. Fab food. Upgraded offer since my last visit 25 years ago! Would go again love the location. Quiet countryside.

Great home cooked food, friendly helpful staff and a quiet country location.

Had a great afternoon here, food excellent all 6 meals ordered got the thumbs up, Tartiflette was spot on, staff attentive and friendly, highly recommended.

Always a pleasure to eat in this pub. Being bank holiday Monday, and with live music, this was an especially busy day but the two girls serving the tables never stopped and maintained high quality service. Well done girls.

Ate outside, nice and clean. Small menu with no childrens options unfortunately. Luckily we visited specifically for the Ploughmans which had been recommend. It was delicious and a large portion for the price so we could share with our son. Very impressed.

We had booked a table and arrived on time but the 2 bar staff seemed surprised to see us and said there were 7 tables in front of us for food. We waited an hour and a quarter before any food appeared. The place was less than half full. The wait staff in my opinion were inappropriately dressed for waiting tables and looked completely unconcerned that we had waited so long with no apologies. The food was good when it arrived.

Amazing traditional pub. Great ploughman's. If you enjoy your ale they know how to look after it and serve it

Great little country pub with friendly staff and a great atmosphere with live music

A gem! Lovely cosy atmosphere. Food was 10/10 - we had the ploughman and the special smorgasbord which was impressive. Staff were all very friendly. Thank you!

Interesting. Lovely people very dark. Nice food

Only had a coffee but service was very friendly.

Meet here every m9nth with the Sussex Lancia Club. Always a delightful experience. Highly recommend it!

Love this country pub . Thoughtful food and fantastic wine selection.

Lovely young lady served us at the bar. Inside the seating area is old and quite dark. Ample outdoor seating and car park.

Full of character, lovely pub for a summers day and a ploughmans lunch.

Great place with friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere 👌

Great food Great staff Great decor x

Great food and 🍻, nice atmosphere!

Been going to this wonderful pub all my life. Can't get more quintessential in the pub stakes. The food is fabulous too.

Wonderful. Good food excellent ale and a splendid landlord

A proper country pub with great food, beer and friendly atmosphere. Meals aren't cheap, but very good quality and generous portion sizes. Love it! Returned recently, and had a very enjoyable lunch in front of the open fire!

The royal oak is is the best pub, don't go there

Fantastic cosy country pub with a great atmosphere

Gorgeous little pub. Lovely staff yummy veggie roast. My partner loved the chicken! The desert was so delicious.

One of the most antiquated pubs I have been in for a long time but very nice. Food service a bit slow but worth the wait. Real ales still served direct from the barrels. Looks like it could be well worth a visit in the summer with its large outdoor seating area

Terrific service, very good food. Only downside was that it was a bit on the chilly side throughout the building, but you can't have everything.

Amazing Sunday lunch, we had the pork, chicken beef and nutroast all were great ,best Sunday lunch for a long time 😁

Wonderful food, seriously good ploughman's the best I've had in sussex. Gorgeous roaring fire, traditional.cosy pub with great service.

Lovely beer a lovely pub lovely location a must see

Plenty of character. Friendly staff.

Lovely old country pub with excellent food and atmosphere.

One if the very best pubs in sussex. Great atmosphere. Fantastic beer. Beautiful building. Great owner, Michael, who makes everyone so welcome. At its best in winter when the fire is on!!

Great country pub, with excellent friendly staff providing great service and awesome tasty cuisine. There was plenty of outside seating and if you want to eat, I would suggest you book as there is limited seating inside, but it's so well worth it. Well done all the team.

Great Sunday roast 😋, very nice pub , friendly regulars

Lovely olde worlde pub with small areas for eating. Good choice of beers ales wines etc. Nice menu & the staff very friendly and helpful. Wonderful evening

A proper English pub. Great food and drink. No trendy nonsense. Always enjoy going there.

Couldnt b better, late Sunday lunchtime October

Brilliant pint, great service and quent pub on a weekday eve by the fire. Didn't eat, wasn't really fancying anything but will try next time I'm there.

Real time warp. No jukebox no lager just gravity fed beer and good food.

Overpriced mediocre food. If you are going to charge £17 for a roast then at least put more than broccoli and carrots and a bit of mashed swede on the plate. Poor presentation not very interesting and super disappointing…. Looking at the reviews from before the food looked so much better then. Shame as the pub is so beautiful and the staff are absolutely lovely.

Great food, wonderful rural atmosphere and great service recommended this pub.

Amazing food, best ploughman's ever! They are so friendly and attentive. Can't recommend royal oak highly enough

Gorgeous old pub. Really friendly service

This is a lovely old pub, a nice walk nearby too

Very old pub, small with low beams. Garden at the front with plenty of tables with pods. Limited menu but nice food.

Very quaint country pub, small menu but good food. Garden is lovely

Beautiful country pub. Good food lovely staff. Friendly atmosphere xx

Excellent selection of beers, wines and soft drinks including non alcoholic beverages, and superb Ploughman's Lunch. Outside covered seating very practical.

Beautiful old pub, untouched by the modern glam era. Large outdoor area with tree shade. Really friendly staff. Lovely find for a sunny afternoon lunch.

Nice old pub in a quiet country lane. Had prawns and bread as a snack, very nice. Great quality bread.

Quaint country pub, generous meals and friendly staff.

Great country pub , great food. I had a beef ploughman's, really lovely well presented food. Would highly recommend 🙂

Excellent Sunday lunch. Hosting impeccable

Lovely country pub. Good food and very welcoming.

Excellent proper old pub. Friendly staff, excellent food.

The food was really good and beer also good. Don't go expecting a bright modern pub, it's a real mind your head old traditional place.

Beautiful old world pub in the middle of nowhere.

Great pub…..don’t all come at once it might get to busy…..lovely staff lovely setting, great food!!!!

Food was delicious, service was good although a little bit slow today. However the delicious bread rolls arrived warm and freshly baked so that's probably what we were waiting for!

Great old fashioned sussex pub. Harvey's straight from the barrel and probably the best Ploughman's I've ever had.

An absolute gem! Atmosphere, staff, food are excellent. Proper country pub. Non of the London gastro drivel here. Happy that this will be within walking distance in about a month. 10/10

One of my favourite old haunts. Memories galore! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, seating inside and also a lovely open garden area. Food fresh and tasty.

What a find. Fabulous place, with low beams, real fire and a warm welcome. It is how a British pub should be!!

One of my favourite pubs. Lovely garden and everything that's ever come out of the kitchen is amazing. During lockdown they also started selling a few bits in the side dining room!

Amazing sunday lunch. Lots of delicious lamb with 6 veg plus pots & a huge yorkshire. Gravy tasted great too. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Definately going back very soon

Superb pub. If ever in Henfield or Horsham area go and have lunch here. Food is excellent, large helpings, beautifully served and hot and staff v friendly. Glowing fire in the grate to keep one warm. I meet a friend here as half way between us and we always have a wonderful meal. Thank you. We will be back again next month!
