The Royal Oak & Castle

Lovely food and atmosphere at this local pub! Came for a meal with a hen party and staff were kind and accommodating! Lovely cheese board!! Dogs welcome and looks like they have some cool events too like autism coffee morning & quiz nights! Bit of a mix up as they brought out meat sausage for my vegan friend but apologised and fixed it quickly!

I wasn’t hungry so I ordered two starters, the soup and the ribs. Turned out the portion was pretty decent and the food was DELICIOUS!! Very happy about the choice! Would definitely recommend!

Warm welcome. Dog friendly. Great food. (We had the beet roast and the homemade pie (with beef)). Good choice of glutenfree, vegetarian and vegan meals and options. Large (beer) garden. Good selection of ales and other drinks.
The only minor point to mention was the kitchen exhaust that made quite a bit of noise. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. (Should have been 4.5 stars, really)

Friendly pub. Feels like a local. My sausage and mash had an onion chutney, as well as rich gravy, which was a nice touch. Long Man ale on draft. Great location if you're visiting the castle.

Delicious food, enough facilities, good service and superb location. There were toilets inside the restaurant and also there is an outdoor sitting available. Good range of burgers, porridge, pasta and other stuff.

The cafe is dog, infants and disability friendly. High chair is available and there is a seperate kids menu too. The staff is superb.

Parking is available at your own cost. Located just in front of a popular castle and church.

Warm and friendly pub with attentive and cheerful bar staff, very much improved since the previous nasty owners.
The food here was very nice. I really enjoyed the Smokey and Darren liked his moussaka too. Everything was cooked perfectly and the portions where just right. Puddings sounded great on the menu, they have a large selection of homemade ice cream and other delights but I was to full to try them.
Fantastic beer garden. They have added a large markee area out the back to provide more seating in bad weather and it's a huge improvement. Also a pleasant little hut for smokers which is just missing a heater to make it perfect.
Loads of parking.
Great for walkers and dog friendly.

Gorgeous little pub. Lovely staff. Lovely buffet. Made our grandad's wake a lovely place to be. Will visit again when in the area

Stopped for a drink after the castle tour and ordered food as well. Friendly place with a great atmosphere speedy service and sensible prices. 5 star

The Royal Oak and Castle Inn, situated  in the heart of Pevensey village, right next to the historic Pevensey castle. The Royal Oak & Castle Inn is the perfect place to visit after a leisurely stroll around the stunning, picturesque Pevensey Castle. Sit inside or in the garden. Dog friendly. Kiddies play area. Vegetarian Friendly, Vegan Options, Gluten Free Options. Friendly staff and clean restrooms.

Stayed a week in Pevensey Bay at the Cannon Campsite. There's 4 pubs all good but for food imo this became our favorite haunt. We ate 3 times always sampling something different. Not one of the meals had any faults. Each member of staff was very polite and hospitable. They provide such a positive attitude, it's infecteous, almost makes you want to work there. If every you pass this public house STOP if open, you will not be disappointed. We hope it won't be our last visit. Special shoutout to Kim and Kate

At last! A great pub and restaurant that welcomes dogs near to my home. I have passed it countless times, but not been in until this evening. Will definitely be back for more. Great food with a decent choice on the menu, welcoming staff, efficient service, clean and sensibly priced.

Fun local hostelry with great beer garden, pleasant decor and efficient service.

Bottle of white wine was a good one and good value, goats cheese salad generous and tasty, and Mr S enjoyed his fish and chips. Later as the evening cooled we transferred to the cosy indoors.

The service is always courteous and friendly, and the selection of real ales kept to perfection.
The garden is a pleasant feature during the warmer Summer days and the food is good, fresh and well presented 'Pub Grub'. Highly recommended. Good situation next to magnificent Pevensey Castle.

A lunchtime treat the other day was spent here at the Royal Oak and Castle... Food was fantastic, as was the beer..!! Staff very friendly and polite, and service was also excellent... Will no doubt return again at some stage, the next time we are down this part of the world..👍👍👍

Had beautifully cooked Roast today for our Anniversary, staff lovely. Highly Recommend.

Delicious food and lovely beer garden with small play area at the back.
We ate outside under the covered area.
