Been let down 3 times now by the pub and we are locals - just a two minute walk away! First time the excuse was no chef, the second time it was no fish and chips (! What pub doesn't have this??) and the third time - not enough food ! We've been going here for 40 plus years - such a disappointment.

The cottage accommodation is not recommended. Very expensive for what it offers. In need of a refurbishment. The check-in/ welcome was strange. you arrive at a pub. The cottages are on the other side of the lane, and you feel like an unwanted spare part and ignored by the staff in the pub. The quality of food served at the pub is poor. The steaks are rubbish quality and badly, overcooked. The dinner service as the guest accommodation welcome is poor. The whole experience from first impression to handing back the key was poor. The staff don't care. The manager clearly needs to change and the staff retained in how hospitality is supposed to work. I can't recommend a stay at The Royal Oak.

Not the greatest experience. High expectations as we have not visited this gastropub for a few years. and after pre ordering we still had high expectations. However, and may be this was down to the pub loosing its chef recently, but the food was very average, nothing really tasty, and obviously prepared before hand, and we could not make any changes as there was no chef! Would have been nice to know before hand though so perhaps we could have made some alternative plans? However the service was attentive and polite. Need to up its game before we return..

The Royal Oak used to be a great pub, with great food and service. Unfortunately the pub really has gone downhill. We had one course dinner that took 2 hours. Our food didn’t arrive until after we had been in the pub for over 1 hour. The steaks were a disgrace, Hanger steaks, what a shame for the Royal Oak to be serving such cheap cuts of meat. Surely most guests would prefer to pay a little more for a Ribeye or Fillet. They were very tough, chewy and also totally burnt on the outside, so not only was the texture hard to eat but they tasted bitter and burnt. The service lacked care, no leadership, seemed like summer jobs, no real interest in the guests experience. Will not be coming back.

A fantastic return visit with family to celebrate a birthday. Great food, great friendly service. Compliments from all of us to the staff. We will be planning our next visit soon. The accommodation looks really nice on the website, so possibly a weekend with you next time!

Lovely atmosphere; smartened-up traditional without spoiling it. Really interesting menu. You don't see warm pigeon breast salad very often. Attentive staff. Good beer. I really like this place. And, as if it were needed, in a lovely village with a chalk stream running by the cricket pitch!

Stayed here twice now, two different rooms both spacious, the back cottage with nice views and a more modern feeling room (under flooring heating in the bathroom a great touch/smart TV/touch bath/shower), Great place with amazing staff. Breakfast was lovely and filling. We will be back

Visiting the Weald and Dowland Museum. Good location for the museum and Goodwood. Quiet, away from roads. Very pretty village. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was out back in a stand alone outbuilding. Views onto fields. Bedroom is small but comfortable. Bathroom modern with every amenity. Great for people with dogs. Restaurant is great, old world charm.

Despite having our booking confirmed we arrived at the hotel to find it closed . Informed by a young man who turned up to do a job there that the hotel was always closed on a Monday and Tuesday. With his help we were able to find alternative accommodation . Checked availabity today for next Monday and Tuesday. Informed that there was a room available , no mention of them being closed on those days .
