About us

The Royal Oak is a charming 19th century pub in the village of River near Dover in Kent. Formed from 18th century flint cottages we have been serving the village for over 150 years. A friendly warm welcome compliments our range of real ales, lagers, ciders and stout. From a morning coffee or hot chocolate to a late night spirit we will look after you. Come read the papers, enjoy a cool beer on a sunny afternoon in the garden or a warming cask ale in front of the fire on a winter’s night.

Whatever you prefer we hope to see you soon.

I stay in Royal Oak because my family lives near here. It's a lovely local with fabulous rooms well looked after. The breakfast is great too anything you like and nothing is too much bother for them. Even have a dulce gusto coffee machine in my room, TV, WiFi, toiletries and, though it's above a pub, no noise from pub. World class service would recommend for work too. I didn't take pictures because the pictures are the same as on their website. Keep this one in mind.

My other half and I stopped by for Sunday lunch where we were greeted by very welcoming staff. We both had the Sunday roast, I had the pork and my other half had the beef. It was absolutely amazing and the roasts tasted fantastic. Especially the Yorkshire Puddings! We will definitely back.
