Dating from 1843, The Royal Oak is a classic, traditional pub in a residential area with a waterside location alongside the Duke of Northumberland's River. However a total refurbishment in 2014 saw the removal of the traditional dark wood partitions and all the former landlord's memorabilia, and the opening up of table-service dining areas and it is now marketed as a Pub & Dining House. It has a normally tranquil riverside patio with smokers' area. Locally-sourced food is served all day table bookings are strongly recommended particularly on major Twickenham rugby days; as the pub is only seven minutes’ walk from the Stadium by a public footpath opposite through Mogden Water Works. On other days function bookings are welcome. Quiz night Sundays from 8pm in the Dining Room.
