The Royal Oak
About
A charming thatched pub nestled in the village of Over Stratton, just a stone's throw from the A303. With its solid oak beams, flagstone floors and a cosy open fire, the Royal Oak offers a warm welcome to locals and visitors alike. The pub prides itself on fresh, locally sourced ingredients – from locally brewed ales to an impressive cheese board featuring award‑winning Dorset, Somerset, Cornwall and Devon cheeses. There’s a daily-changing menu of classic English pub fare, international-themed small plates, and a generous selection of gluten‑free options. Whether you’re looking to relax in the spacious garden during the summer, enjoy a pint in the cosy interior in winter, or bring your four‑legged friends along, this family‑friendly venue delivers memorable dining and a genuine community feel.
