Called in for a few pints on a walk back to Swanage.
Great pub with one of the most impressive pub gardens I have ever seen. If you like gardening and flowers, you have to go to the Royal Oak. Truly beautiful.

Discovered this pub on our last night at Swanage such a shame as it is an absolute gem wish we had discovered it sooner ! Very friendly people with a great atmosphere with the local characters. It’s like pubs used to be. Apparently they do a cracking Sunday roast ! Beautiful garden with views can’t wait to visit again on our next holiday here :)

Lovely, friendly, traditional pub with a decent pint and a lpovely garden with great views. Most country pubs are spoiled these days, but not this one so give it your support.

A proper pub. Really friendly staff and regulars. Felt at home as soon as we walked in.

Having driven past a couple of times during my week staying locally I'd thought it was a house conversion - happily proved wrong when walking home on Thursday night and seeing the lights on.
Loses a mark because they had no draught bitter available on the night - the cider was good but not that good 🤣🤣
The bar was lively with a group of entertaining older locals clearly at ease in each others company. I left the following morning otherwise I'd have happily gone back for more banter that evening.

A lovely traditional country pub just outside the town.
Always made feel welcome on every visit.
We have our Sunday lunch here it is home cooked and value for money and also a very relaxed atmosphere.
The management and staff are all very friendly
