The Royal Oak

A pub serving food in Southwark.

James & the team would like to welcome you to The Royal Oak, a brick built Victorian pub set in the heart of Borough, London.



Nestled on the corner, just down the road from Borough Market, high-rises have sprung up around us making our charming pub a welcome sight for sore eyes, oozing nostalgia for a bygone era of London drinking. As Harvey’s Brewery’s’ London Tap House we serve as many of their award-winning beers as we can fit on the bar! We can also supply their bottles, draught take-aways, and merchandise if pre-ordered with us. Consider us a home from home for any Sussex expats, those travelling through, cask ale enthusiasts & anyone looking for an authentic pub experience.




We hope to see you soon, and please get in touch for enquiries or to make a booking.

Drink % Brewery
Sussex Best Bitter 4.0 Harvey's Brewery

Our most famous and popular brand - it makes up over 90% of our total brewing capacity. Winner of the Champion Best Bitter of Britain title at CAMRA's Great British Beers Festival in 2005 and 2006. First brewed as recently as 1955.

Tasting Notes: A superbly balanced session bitter with a prominent hop character.

Pilsner 4.0 Harvey's Brewery

Our Pilsner has a sweet aroma and a soft, bready taste. The layered bitterness is derived from Lubelski hops. Brewed using pale and lightly roasted malts, combined with Munich malt.

Tasting Notes: 

Old Ale 4.3 Harvey's Brewery

Old Ale was Harvey's Brewery's first beer to win a National Award in 1952. Soft and full bodied, with hints of dried fruits and dates, this is a dark, warming brew that's a firm favourite during the autumn and winter months. Burnt sugars and roasted malts compliment the premium Maris Otter barley, supplanting the light bitterness of aroma hops.

Tasting Notes: Soft and full-bodied, with hints of dried fruits and dates. Rich, dark and warming. To be enjoyed in the autumn and winter months by a roaring fire.

Wharf IPA 4.8 Harvey's Brewery

Wharf IPA is a modern heavily hopped IPA. It is brewed with new hop varieties to create a joyful outpouring of fresh flavours from the bine.

Tasting Notes: Modern heavily hopped IPA. Zesty and fragrant, this golden beer contains the very essence of our local hop gardens.

Gold Bier 4.0 Harvey's Brewery

The golden colour is derived from a premium malted barley originally grown for continental lagers. A thirst quenching and refreshing brew, it is best served chilled.

Tasting Notes: This dry, balanced ‘bier’ has a soft malt palate that is offset by the gentle bitterness of local Fuggle and Golding hops. A thirst quenching and refreshing brew for any time, any place.

Camden Pale Ale 4.0 Camden Town Brewery

They crafted this beer to more British tastes. Made with American hops, it’s still got all the punch of a pale ale. Just less shouty.

Tasting Notes: 

Camden Hells Lager 4.6 Camden Town Brewery

Hells is the lovechild of their two favourite German beer styles - Helles and Pilsner. Clean, crisp and dry.

Tasting Notes: A classic lager that’s exactly what it should be: easy-drinking, crisp and dry with beautiful bubbles. Clean and refreshing with a dry hop finish, you can taste the great depth of flavour which comes from the long, slow maturation in tank. This is how a great lager should taste.

Georgian Dragon Ale 4.7 Harvey's Brewery

This intensely hoppy, ruby ale was first brewed in April 2010 for St.Georges Day.

Tasting Notes: A fruity aroma and a sustained, lingering bitterness with a subtle hit of lip-smacking fruitcake.

Sussex Dark Mild 3.0 Harvey's Brewery

A dark malty mild. Ideal sustenance when there is physical work to be done. Harveys awards for milds date back over half a century and this style of beer enjoys a long heritage at the brewery.

Tasting Notes: Malty and Mellow. Soft and slightly sweet with a dry, nutty aftertaste akin to an infusion of ground nuts. Refreshing, hydrating and comforting.

Stowford Press 4.5 Westons Cider

A refreshing medium-dry sparkling cider that is bursting with the delicious flavour of crisp cider apples
