We could give you 100 other reasons to spend time at The Royal Oak, but here are just 14:

• ‘It’s after visiting The Royal Oak, where Eastbrook Farm produce is served, that I decided to break my vegan diet. I just can’t believe the difference in taste.’ Red Magazine, November 2007
  
  
• We can take you home—and bring you here if you wish. Our big red Land Rover seats 10 and we use it as a taxi service for large groups
  
  
• We also do superb vegetarian food-none of your standard, dull pasta and cheese bakes
  
  
• Crab apples, blackberries, even nettles all foraged and used in the kitchen as the seasons allow
  
  
• Do it yourself barbecues in our garden—we light the fire, you choose your meat, we bring the salads and clear up after you. You do the cooking
  
  
• ‘all in all, quite a find’-the Lambourn Village newsletter who sent Bon Viveur to check us out after they heard three ‘enthusiastic reports’ in the space of a week in February 2008
  
  
• A farm shop. Open every day for Eastbrook eggs, milk, fresh organic bread, frozen meat (sometimes fresh); and lots of everyday basics, but good ones
  
  
• We provide farm maps, and regular guided walks to meet the pigs and check out the orchids
  
  
• A comfortable bed. Our bed and breakfast is not The Dorchester, but the service is more personal and the breakfast worth getting up for
  
  
• Summer cocktails, winter warmers, a big sofa, newspapers, some erudite magazines and books, great open fires, proper coffee
  
  
• Jasper Ayckroyd the head chef is one of Slow Food UK’s chosen participants at the biennial Slow Food world convivium in Turin in October 2008
  
  
• Summer picnic hampers-you order, we provide, you find somewhere, with our help, on the farm to enjoy it
  
  
• Fantastic Sunday lunches, Eastbrook ribs of beef and legs of pork, done stunningly
  
  
• Arkells real ales, the local family brewers
