The Royal Oak Beaulieu
The Royal Oak Beaulieu
A traditional country pub at Hilltop, just outside Beaulieu village. Dogs are welcome throughout, alongside muddy boots, cyclists, children and horse riders – there are five horse corrals in the garden. The menu runs to pub classics and chef’s specials with Sunday roasts, and the cask line-up usually features Ringwood beers plus a couple of guest ales.
