Regional Manager’s thoughts on the Royal Oak Crawley
The Royal Oak is a community pub, with a previous strong traditional food offering that benefits from both Gatwick and Crawley catchments. The Royal Oak would suit a well-rounded operator who can maintain and develop all aspects of this business, catering to all members of the community, whilst also broadening its customer base to accommodate the passing travel trade.
