Property details
The Royal Oak, a detached pub in Stonebridge, just outside Dorking, Surrey, offers the best of both worlds: peaceful rural charm with steady passing trade. The pub sits at the heart of a growing local community and is just a short drive from Dorking. With easy access from the A24 and nearby villages like North Holmwood, it’s well placed to attract both loyal locals and visitors. Surrounded by open fields and beautiful views, it’s a roadside gem with a small car park, extra lay-by parking, and a spacious garden that wraps around the building.
Inside, the layout is simple and full of potential. There are two distinct trading areas: a lively main bar with doors opening onto the garden, perfect for drinks and games like darts, and a front room with a cosy open fire that’s ideal for dining and relaxed drinks.
The garden features a covered terrace and grassy seating areas with benches overlooking the countryside, a perfect spot for summer afternoons.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen and a bathroom.

Trading style
The Royal Oak is an established pub business seeking a seasoned hospitality professional with a passion for food and drink. Could this be you?
This is a fantastic opportunity for a publican with vision. Strong drinks offer and a well-priced food menu could make this a go-to destination. If you’re ready to bring your own style and energy to a pub with space, character, and a great location, this is the one.
A seasoned professional with a deep passion for food and drink, the ideal publican brings both experience and warmth to the role. They understand how to deliver great value without compromising quality, and they know that a good offer isn’t just about price; it’s about making people feel welcome and well-served.
Rooted in the spirit of the local area, they recognise that this is a true community pub, not a gastro venue. They champion hearty, honest food and a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere where neighbours gather, stories are shared, and everyone feels at home. Their focus is on connection, consistency, and creating a space that reflects the heart of the community it serves.
