Royal Oak
Historic 1897 corner pub on Coombe Road with a dartboard, two bars separated by an original wooden partition, and a classic British menu featuring 45-day aged beef.
Why we love it
New Malden's best option for darts — a handsome traditional pub with good food and a CAMRA listing.
The Royal Oak is an imposing corner pub on Coombe Road that's been standing since 1897. It still has two bars separated by the original open-top wooden partition — the smaller former public bar with flagstone floors, and the larger lounge with a curved bar leading through to the food area. There's a dartboard for those who want to play, alongside dominoes and board games. The food menu features 45-day aged beef, a well-regarded Sunday roast, and classic British pub cooking. Local craft beers sit alongside the regular taps. Dog-friendly, family-friendly, with a garden out back. If you're in New Malden and want to throw darts without trekking to Surbiton, this is your pub. **Local's Tip:** The Sunday roast draws a crowd — book ahead or arrive early if you want to eat and play.
