The Royal Oak, Borough

As a local resident in the Borough area of Southwark I find that the Royal Oak is like an Oasis in the Desert in terms of a good traditional pub. This is the only Harveys of Lewes house in London.
there is always the full range of Harveys ales both regular and seasonal ales, plus a guest seasonal Fullers ale on draught and a full range of Harveys bottled ales.
Added to the that the Royal Oak is traditional, with no TV, no Musak , no Fruit machines, just good ale, good food and good company. The food is of a very high standard and reasonable in price.
Those who complain about having to stand as the pub is busy should go to other less popular pubs in the area and leave the Royal Oak to those of us who enjoy its convivial atmosphere
