The Royal Oak Porlock

The Royal Oak Porlock Set in the heart of Exmoor, The Royal Oak serves locally sourced, seasonal food in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

Village inn where fires are lit in winter, doors stay open in summer, and all are welcomed. It's the kind of inn where conversation lingers, fires are lit in winter, doors stay open in summer, and all are welcomed. Local ales from On The Level Brew Co., independent wines from family vineyards, and seasonal dishes that reflect the landscape around us.

Ham that speaks for itself. 🍖

Thick-cut, honey roasted, and piled high alongside toasted sourdough, a wedge of mature cheddar, boiled eggs and pickled onions. Our ploughman’s is simple done properly, and it’s one of the best ways to spend a lazy lunch on Exmoor.

Pop in and try it for yourself before we take our autumn break on 7th September.

Porlock Vale from above.

Patchwork fields, shingle beach, sea stretching out. This is what a walk up from the village gets you.

Worth the climb, worth the pint after.

We’re taking a break.

The Royal Oak will be closed from 7th September, back open Thursday 9th October.

After a busy first year, the team’s earned a proper rest — and we can’t wait to come back and celebrate 12 months at The Royal Oak with all of you.

Thank you for the support so far. See you in October.
