The pub's current name, which appeared in the 17th century, is believed to reference the Civil War and the Royalist support shown by its patrons, and today it remains a popular spot for enjoying classic pub food, cask ales, a weekly quiz, and a hearty Sunday roast.","rating":{"up":1,"down":0},"created_at":"2025-10-10T08:38:46.129Z","highlight_id":413105,"sport":"hike","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/highlights/413105/tips/8149009"},"creator":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/users/827194310403/profile_embedded"},"highlight":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/highlights/413105"},"rating":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/highlights/413105/tips/8149009/rating/{username}","templated":true}},"_embedded":{"highlight":{"id":413105,"name":"Royal Oak, Oldest Pub in England"},"creator":{"username":"827194310403","avatar":{"src":"https://d2exd72xrrp1s7.cloudfront.net/www/1g/1gcefq1tezpwzfgspqv6conne2z2382wu-u827194310403-full/190ca8ce0a0/p?width={width}&height={height}&crop={crop}","templated":true,"type":"image/*"},"status":"public","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/users/827194310403/profile_embedded"},"relation":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/users/{username}/relations/827194310403","templated":true}},"display_name":"MCW73","is_premium":true}}},{"id":8146734,"text":"The Sword: Alfred is shown grasping a large, cross-hilted sword with the point facing downwards.
