Royal Oak, Lewes

Not good - pub brawl after a really dull evening. Karoke in a small corner of the pub was just beginning to build an atmospher but sadly the manager was not in control and youngsters were getting so drunk that all they could do was fight. In the end the fight and most of remaining clientele went onto the street outside and remaining clientele were told very abruptly that the bar was closed. Managers were very slow to step in - hence the unfortunate result and remaining customers having their Friday evening ended prematurely. So, for a visit - don't bother - there are other pubs very atmospheric in Lewes e.g Lewes Arms - just behind Fisher Street. For November 5th - Royal Oak staff - from what I could see - will not cope - manager and husband arguing at the till - sorry luvs no time for this on the 5th - I recommend your clients go elsewhere where the staff won't be arguing but serving!!
