The Broad Oak, Rye

Just off the A28, this mediocre looking pub has a large main pub area, a smaller more formal restaurant room off to the left and a beer garden beyond. If felt a bit spartan and indifferent, though as we were amongst the first in on Sunday we hadn’t expected to find much atmosphere. On the plus side, there were two ale pumps serving Rother Valley Level Best (not a bad pint of) and Harveys. On the minus side, not having any loo roll in the gents at the start of the day smacks of carelessness. They no longer have the bar billiards table listed on another website, and there is what appears to be a boxed dartboard on one wall, with a table in front of it thereby precluding its use. I would however drop in here again if I was in the area and had an urgent thirst to quench, or had no transport to take me anywhere else.
