What's Brewing would suggest there is a Function Room upstairs available for hire. This needs investigating -- [[bob]]

Smallish, cozy, excellent beer and friendly owner/staff. There are two areas, both fairly similar, with the bar in the middle. Occasionally it does get a little crowded, usually just after 5-6ish, but mostly it's fairly easy to get a seat. The regulars are also friendly.

The pub food is good, & reasonably priced - their chips are excellent (& you get a nice big basket of them), & I have heard many good things said of the various sandwich type efforts (also nice large portions). Unfortunately chips are the only vegan option on offer; there are veggie sandwiches, though.

It's opposite Simply Indian, SE1 4LA, which is also rather good. Usefully, the Royal Oak are happy to sell you a jug of beer to take across to the restaurant (in an actual glass jug, so make sure you take it back afterwards), which is in my opinion a truly great thing.

It's just been voted CAMRA London Pub Of The Year (as of Dec 2003) and will be going forward to the regional Pub Of The Year finals.
