Hollington Oak

Walk up Wishing Tree Road towards Hollington and you'll find yourself in that part of Saint Leonards where locals actually gather—no day-trippers, no pretence. The Hollington Oak is exactly what a pub should be: the kind of place where regulars have their spot at the bar and the staff know what you're drinking before you ask. The menu's straightforward but done right, and they take their ales seriously without being insufferable about it. It's the pub you want when you want to feel like you belong.
