"We dropped our luggage at Hotel TerraVina before heading for the Fritham walk near a pub called The Royal Oak which was recommended by Lizzie on the CruiseDot forum. This turned out to be excellent! I had a ploughman’s lunch with soft cheese, and Alex had a delicious home made sausage roll."

Derrick J. Knight

"(...) lunch was ham and barley broth, and mixed gammon and cheese ploughman’s respectively. This hostelry probably well deserved the Good Beer Guide’s award for Hampshire’s country pub of the year."

"Try a proper ploughman's lunch at the Royal Oak."

Jonathan Goodall

"They don’t serve fancy food here – and none in the evenings – but the ploughman’s lunch (£7) has been elevated to an art form. (...) There’s no chef-ing as such, just the freshest, local ingredients lovingly assembled."

Tony Stevens

"I took Canadian relatives here as they wanted a Ploughmans lunch in the forest. I am so glad I chose The Royal Oak, the choice of Ploughmans was the best I have ever seen, stilton, local cheddar, mackeral, gammon three different types of bread in the bread basket along with pickles and chutney. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food and all went away full up!"

Duncan Grey

"Here there are no chips, no sandwiches, a curious warning about only allowing the Duke of Edinburgh into the loos on his own, but an excellent range of ploughman's lunches."

Acelin Orton

"With an early morning breakfast, you will arrive in Fritham in time for lunch, where you can enjoy a traditional ploughman’s lunch."

Tom S.

"They do the best ploughman’s lunch and the inspiration for our own wedding breakfast a month or so later."

Dairy Cottage

"The food is simple and local, with a great Ploughman’s Lunch."

Joan Williamson

"The pub provided an excellent ploughman’s lunch which sustained the crews until the evening meal."
