Royal Oak, Fritham

A delightful little traditional pub in a part of the New Forest with some excellent walking in the immediate area at any time of year (we went in January). Very clean toilets in modern outdoor block, ample choice of some real beers (have I mentioned these in the wrong order??). Adequate lunch menu, tasted delicious and was promptly and properly served despite a full house (they had known in advance that a group of us was coming). "Cash only" policy was nearly a problem for some in the group who had not known, but was sorted out among those attending - if the policy helps keeps the cost down, who am I to complain? A very pleasant outing - I'll be back.
