Welcome to the Royal Oak in North Gorley

Idyllically positioned in the heart of the New Forest, once a Royal Hunting Lodge dating back to the 17th Century near the town of Fordingbridge. You can find wild animals such as horses, cattle, pigs, and donkeys grazing outside. The Royal Oak is a cosy, characterful thatched pub serving local cask ales, fine wines, freshly prepared food using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, the menu features traditional pub comforts and modern British dishes.

Whether enjoying a light snack and refreshing beverage in the beautiful picturesque beer garden during the warmer months, or a hearty meal come winter, all guests, including our four-legged friends, will experience a warm welcome and the highest of standards in unique yet ambient surroundings.

The bar has plenty to offer featuring local cask ales from local micro-breweries. Naturally, we serve a range of premium brand spirits including 18 plus gins. We also have an array of wines including fizz from around the world. For those who fancy a non-alcoholic beverage, we have a wide range of softies including an alcohol-free gin!

Good food, good people, good times

At the Royal Oak, our food is popular with both guests and locals who can dine in our comfortable relaxing atmosphere. We prefer to use fresh local produce for our dishes.

With the New Forest on our doorstep, we have plenty of local suppliers. Our meat is sourced less than 3 miles away at Godshill from New Pastures Butchers. The coast is a short stone’s throw away which means our fish is always fresh and line caught where possible.

As well as Lunch and Dinner we serve a Traditional Sunday Roast every Sunday from 12 noon – 2:30 pm.
