Fuller's London Pride Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter
Popular with locals for darts and pool, the pub does much charity work. The pub dates from the mid 19th century, and is known to have been tied to the Hope brewery of East Grinstead. A number of breweries have owned the Royal Oak since then including Dashwood of East Grinstead and the Southdown Brewery of Lewes. This company eventually fell to Tamplins of Brighton (which itself became part of the Watney empire). The pub was only licenced for the sale of beer and cider until 1949 when a full licence was given. Home made bar food is served 12-9 Monday to Saturday and from 12-6 Sunday when roasts are available. Live bands play on the last Saturday of the month.
