About the Royal Oak

The Royal Oak in Goodworth Clatford, near Andover, has recently been taken over by an enthusiastic and experienced family team.  We provide good quality beer, an array of spirits and wines.  We have a fantastic location and strive to keep improving. We pride ourselves on providing high quality homemade food with regular specials.  The menu caters for all, with traditional seasonal options, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options.

The pub is in the heart of the Test Valley and attracts customers from Andover, Winchester and the surrounding villages.  Being on the River Anton there are many walkers, cyclists and tourists that use the pub and with its large garden and outdoor kitchen the summer trade is buzzing.

There are expansion plans to increase the covers from the current 60 indoor and 80 outdoor and also add accommodation which will improve further the opportunities available.
