The Royal Oak Hotel

Pub dining$

This sibling to the well-loved Marquis of Lorne bears the same savvy charm without the extreme sport of hustling for a seat. Sink a pint at the U-shaped jarrah bar, sip a skinsy wine, tackle grain-fed sirloin or beer-battered rockling, or come late for rambunctious nights fuelled by surprisingly good cocktails.
