Set in the heart of the New Forest, The Royal Oak North Gorley is a characterful thatched pub with a history stretching back to the 17th century, once a Royal Hunting Lodge serving those who worked and travelled through the forest. Today, it remains a true country pub, with ponies, cattle, pigs, and donkeys often grazing just beyond the door.

Inside, you will find a warm and welcoming space where good food, good drink, and good company come together. We serve freshly prepared dishes made with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, blending traditional pub favourites with modern British cooking. Our menus are designed to be comforting, honest, and full of flavour.

In the warmer months, our garden is the perfect place to relax with a drink or a light bite, while in winter the pub offers a cosy retreat for hearty meals by the fire. Dogs are always welcome, and whether you are visiting for a quick pint or a long, leisurely lunch, you will be looked after with genuine hospitality.

Behind the bar, we take real pride in our cask ales and are proud to be a Cask Marque accredited pub, a nationally recognised sign of a well-kept pint. Alongside this, we offer a carefully chosen selection of fine wines, premium spirits, and over 18 gins. For those choosing not to drink alcohol, we also provide a thoughtful range of soft drinks and alcohol-free options, including alcohol-free gin, so everyone can enjoy their time with us.
