I think this place does have potential, but it seems to be one of those pubs where the locals are firmly determined to put off any new customers who might give it a try. Beer was nasty and no red wine other than a horrible merlot in a mini bottle. Won't be back.

Went in here for the first time a week ago and it's just plain nasty, horrible beer, chav dogs running around and patrons that would be dangerous if they had a brain cell between them. Avoid at all costs.

Hi all,
first let me say that the oak HAS got the potential to be a great pub, as was proved in the past, but its the people who go there not the g'ovners who create the right ambiance.Do what you did for me and Wendi , and go back and reclaim your pub, yes it helps if the g'ovnors care but why should they if the punters dont? We had some great times there in our 4 1/2 years , but as you will well remember it was hard work cleaning up the place but hey its been done once, why not again? cya all soon ray (non landlord)piss taker

My local and I avoid it like the plague. Poor beer and company more akin to pond life. If you support Chelsea you might get by but it says everything when all the previous regulars under the old manager have moved on to other watering holes.

Definitely a good place for flying glasses and ashtrays! Was fairly good when Wendy was there and then went totally downhill. Getting a little better now - would hate to have to stand in garden again to duck out of the way of glasses - not much of an escape from there either.

Don't bother unless the backs of your hands drag on the ground.

The "new landlady" has gone and there is another new landlady who doesn't seem bothered either. Whatever happened to pub landlords/landladies who actually looked pleased to see customers? It's a shame because it wasn't a bad pub when the Scouser was there.

i used the pub in the 80's has anyone seen the griz?
|
What a horrid place! I wouldn'nt go back! Don't have to say anything else!
|
Wendi & The Scouser have now sadly gone to pastures new. New Landlady doesn't seem bothered! The place has now gone completely downhill and the old, banned "Undesirables" have returned. Do like the New Landlady, "Don't Bother!"

Well, unfortunately for the non Chelsea supporters, the Scouse (Non Landlord) has gone!
The new Guvorness is good & doesn't take any S**t.
Bitter good and great atmosphere for the Footie!

OK so he's not the Landlord! But it's not too important I think. The putting of Chelsea fans back in their place is what's important.
|
Who's this Raj bloke, I've never heard of him. By the way, as in my last comment, the scouse (P!ss taking) geezer is not the landlord!

It's alright apart from smelly/drunk bloke called Raj who can be found there from time to time. He really lowers the tone. He also has the indecency of never owning a spear! Landlord funny when taking p!ss out of Chavski fans!
|
Okay, so it's a Chelsea Pub! But all supporters are welcome there to support their team, the Chelsea Boys do actually have a sense of humour.
By the way, the Scouser isn't the Landlord, he's the Lanlady's 'Other Half'.

I would imagine that this place would be a brilliant place for blokes who love lager and love CFC.
These are great passions I'm sure, but they're not for me. On my visit I found the atmosphere to be a bit threatening, and finished my drink as quickly as possible, continuing on my way up towards Surbiton proper.
Tolworth has never been a good place for pubs, and the Royal Oak is no exception.

Good pub, comfortable, good crowd, good TV coverage of football. Pool and 2 dart boards.

This has been my local (off and on) for 20 years. Great place to watch football (particularly when Chelsea are playing). Decent crowd, no aggro. Scouse landlord (can't have everything!)

Easy to miss if flying to/from Tolworth Broadway. Nothing special but it's a decent place with comfy seating & a big screen.
