The Royal Oak is a historic 19th-century pub located in the village of River, near Dover. This establishment, originally formed from 18th-century flint cottages, has been a local staple for over 150 years. Known for its friendly atmosphere, the Royal Oak offers a variety of drinks including real ales, lagers, ciders, and stouts, with a selection that features both local and well-known brands. The pub is family-friendly, welcoming both children and dogs, and features amenities such as a garden for warmer days, wood-burning stoves for colder evenings, free fast Wi-Fi, and daily newspapers.
In addition to its pub offerings, the Royal Oak has recently undergone a full refurbishment, which includes the bar, dining area, and the transformation of the upper floors into luxurious bed and breakfast accommodation. This makes it a convenient spot for both local patrons and visitors looking to explore the area. Whether stopping by for a drink, a meal, or a stay, the Royal Oak aims to provide a warm and inviting experience.
