  6. Welcome to the Royal Oak in Porlock

    In the centre of Porlock, surrounded by moor, woodland and sea air, The Royal Oak has been part of village life for generations. Fires lit in winter, doors open in summer, and tables shared in every season.

    It’s the kind of inn where conversation lingers, dogs doze beneath chairs, and walkers drift in from the hills in search of something warm and good. Locals, travellers, neighbours and newcomers — all are welcomed, and all are part of the story here.

    The food at The Royal Oak reflects the landscape around us. Our menu changes with the weather, the tides, and the work of local farmers, growers, and fishermen.

    Expect hearty dishes in winter, lighter plates in summer, and a steady respect for the ingredients that come from Exmoor’s fields, farms, and waters. We cook simply, so the flavours can speak for themselves, and we prepare everything with care — the kind of food that feels both familiar and quietly special.

    Vegetarian friendly. Vegan options. Gluten free available.

    Local ales from the moor, orchard ciders from the valley, and a thoughtful wine list — best enjoyed slowly, in good company.

    Our wine selection traces the great wine regions of the world, with bottles sourced directly from small, family-run vineyards and independent producers. Each wine is bottled at the estate, preserving the character and craft of the maker — no mass bottling, no shortcuts — just honest winemaking, poured with care.

    We’re proud to serve local craft beer from On The Level Brew Co., a small father-and-son brewery based here on Exmoor. Every batch is brewed by hand, with care, character, and a genuine love for good beer — the kind that brings people together. It’s local, independent, and exactly what a village pub should pour.
