We are from the Royal Oak and thank you for your review. We remember your visit and enjoyed you and your custom. We note your comment regarding the 'cons' and as a business if we could survive on the income of Vegan Customers we would not serve meat. We are based in the so called high street (The Royal Oak, a Hairdresser and a post office) of Dormansland which is a lovely village, however it is not easy to promote vegan food in farming communities or countryside villages and whilst there appears to be a number of vegan groups in the area, we have found some negativity from them, as a result of our selling meat products. This attitude is counter productive and serves only to open the doors of our establishment to non-vegans. If we were busy with vegan customers to the extent that they out-numbered the non-vegans the business would become 100% vegan in a relatively short time. Given that we serve more vegan food than most pubs and restaurants it is not surprising that we feel the emphasis on our business description provided by Happy Cow should be that we serve "Vegan Food, meat options available" . In any event we thank you very much for the review and look forward to seeing you again.
