Met some friends here for lunch and it was a good choice. Extensive menu, full meals or lunchtime/lighter menu available. Very pleasant service. We only had soup and sandwiches, but it was all very good.
I had a very nice well kept couple of pints of Timothy Taylors. Also available were London Pride, Harveys, Shere Drop plus a couple of others I didn't recognise.
All very good.

Has a perfect pint of Dark Star Darkness there today. Promptly served, reasonable prices, large range of real beer, and a great beer garden.

Went to a reception after a memorial service in the church opposite. These can be a bit of a trial, given that one is mourning the loss of a friend or loved one, but the staff were excellent, coping very well with the sudden rush of more than 200 people. Excellent Timothy Taylor Landlord and Surrey Hills Greensand IPA, and a Dark Star beer (not Hophead) and another Sussex micro were also on the hand pumps as well as London Pride. The hot snacks were ideal for a cold and crisp afternoon when you want a little food but not too much. The regular menu looked good, and if I lived in Warnham, I would be in there every evening.

very strange posting there Virg02.... had many pies here in the past and they were always cut form a whole pie dish with pastry on top and below. So the wife and I went back to check and had lunch there today. Not only the usual pies on the blackboard but also a special pie menu on a seperate piece of paper. I had the lamb and cranberry pie and it was excellant, washed down with a pint of ruby mild followed by a Tim Taylor Landlord both on fine form.
|
i had the pie...which is not a pie. it is a casserole with a pastry lid. why do all these pubs do this now. i want to start a revolution to bring back the REAL pie. lets stand up and demand a proper pie, its our heritage.

Happy St Georges Day Here!
I had the home made steak and kidney pudding and my partner had the Roast chicken, washed down with ...St Georges Ale!! a local brew from East Sussex, Perfect out in the garden, only trouble was finding a seat...
Well done for flag flying!

Friendly pub with value for money food.
|
i would have to say this is exactly what a traditional old pub should be...there are no frills and the beer is in very good condition. my only reservation would be to go for the basics on the menu, as i don't think they cope well with the more demanding dishes.
|
This pub is great. More than great. This is what English pubs should be all about.
We had a late Sunday lunch here. The choice was fantastic for everyone. My steak was done to perfection (a rarity with a blue steak). We were aske dif the child's meal should come with starters (rare insight and very welcome).
The beer was delicious and there was a great range.
All in all quite superb and somewhere I look forward to returning to.

The sort of village pub which people dream about.
Had a couple of lovely pints of Pilgrims Progress sitting out in the sun in the garden at the back. The only low point is that I can't afford to live near there.

This pub just keeps getting better and better went back again a year later and they had five cracking beers on and all on good form.Sat in the huge garden with a big group , we all ate well and no complaints!
The kids all had an impromptu game of football in their field at the back kept them amused for hours while we enjoyed the T Taylors!!

I think angelaw must have visited another pub in the village.....on the many times I have eaten at The Oak I have never had such a bad experience.
Great choice of ales too! six pumps and all good!!
|
Nice pub. Staff were both friendly and efficient. A good range of beers. Great food - good value, I will go there again.

whent in here for some lunch a while back and i have to say that my partner and i were most certainly not impressed, we had a combo starter which included burnt potato wedges burnt garlic bread and burt chicken wings which we did not want to eat the waitress took it away with out even asking if it was ok considering it was hardly touched, hopeing for better with our main course my partner ordered a pasta dish which they some how manged to burn the cream which had turned it brown and tasted fowl and mine was not much better. when i spoke to someone about it she said she would speak to the which is when i heard the chef shouting at her and saying i was talk rubbish(not in those words) through the wall. she refunded me 4 one meal and didn't say sorry. but i have to say by this point i felt sorry for her because no one should be spoken to the way she was by the chef who seems to neeb to go back to college or think about a change of career.

Dogs Welcome and so were we when popped in for lunch - we both had a really hearty ham, eggs and chips. Excellent service throughout and our dog loved being by the fire.

When I lived in Horsham this used to be a place where me and a few mates would go and have a good quality beer or a glass of red and catch up on the week thats been. It had a breat feel to it, with an open log fire and brilliant beers on tap. Al still the same after a recent visit, except that it has become too noisy and the clientele has dipped in form. This pub used to attract the conversational type, but its all gone a bit commercial now. Still a place I would visit, but its far from the place I remember it to be a couple of years ago.
|
Most accomodating landlord I have come across. Very welcoming to our walking group. Although we take a chance on food availablity and usually park away from the pub to avoid clogging up the car park for regulars he was most insistent on finding us a table together and that we used the car park. Top marks for food and atmosphere too.
|
Recommended by a friend for the food, and lived up to the recommendation. A proper country(ish) pub with a nice feel
|
This pub was recommended by a work colleague as somewhere nice to eat on a Sunday. How right they are. From the initial phone call to reserve the table to our departure, the staff were polite & friendly. The choice of ales were good, finished off a couple of pints of Miss Whiplash and several more Adnams. Food was wonderful from the roast Lamb to the homecooked ham, egg and chips. Lovely homely feel about the place, very welcoming and highly recommnended.
|
This is a great pub for food certainly. Only approx a 25 minute walk from Broadbridge Heath to reach Warnham.
Fine selection of ales on offer and a really nice Sunday roast (they didn't overdo the vegetables).
Friendly staff and a big beer garden out the back.
This is the sort of pub to be recommended on a long summer's day.

Really nice pub - worth the walk out of Horsham in the evening to have a slightly quieter pint. Food is excellent, but the pub lacks a proper ordering system, and food is just brought out for whoever is nearest the door. Besides that slight niggle (I was hungry, alright?), the Sussex Oak is a wonderful pub. Range of beers could probably be expanded - all the usual suspects (London Pride, Stella et. al.) but could easily be an 8/9 if they sorted out their ordering (perhaps by the judicious introduction of numbered wooden spoons?) and brought in some other, slightly less well-known beers.
Oh, I just remembered that they have Hoegaarden. I'll make it an 8 after all.
