Me and my wife were on honeymoon near edwinstowe and got recommended this pub by a local. We were delighted with the food it was delicious. Food was priced really well and would happily have eaten more but unfortunately I was full after my meal. I would recommend this pub to anyone passing by as we were. Lovely staff and food. Will definitely come here again If we are ever in the area again.
After a good dog walk in Sherwood Forest we decided to find somewhere for a good lunch, and a quick websearch told us that the Royal Oak welcomed dogs and muddy boots.
We were indeed made very welcome, and had a delicious meal, and 5e staff even provided our dogs with treat while we ate. There was a real fire heating the room, and we enjoyed our meal.
We called in for lunch on my friends 50th birthday. We were staying at a lodge nearby. It was busy but the staff were really friendly and the food was delicious. We had the sharing platters, pie and fish and chips. The portion sizes were very generous and we were all extremely satisfied, we enjoyed it that much that we came back at night for drinks.
Had a birthday bash there in July , 33 people for a sit down meal . We pre ordered meals to make it easier in the kitchen . The evening went superbly , a server was assigned one table each , all the food came out well cooked and together . The evening was enjoyed by all and could not have been better .
Big thanks to all the staff that made it a memorable night .
After being unable to reserve chequers at ranby out usual haunt I suggested we try here, we weren't dissapointed!
The food and service were all top noch! Three of us ordered steak pie, my husband the gammon and my 6 year old son the fish - all were well cooked and quality ingredients (meat A grade) which made for a really enjoyable meal. We finished off with Eton mess and sticky toffee puds! Yum!!
Oh and the gin menu!! Sampled a few treats � keep up the good work its so nice to have local eateries worth a second visit �
Extremely dog friendly. Good atmosphere, vegetarian food and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Popped in Sunday for lunch. As we didn’t have a reservation we didn’t think we would be seated, but the staff made us very welcome and found us a table. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. Will definitely return again, only next time we’ll book first.
Fabulous find on our weekend to Sherwood Forest. Excellent food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere in this family friendly pub. Highly recommended.
Called in for Sunday lunch with family.
The waitresses were all lovely and pleasant.
I actually had fish and chips and they were so nice better than I've had from a fish and chip shop.
Wow, I read good reviews but did not expect it to be this good! The chips tasted like they'd been slowly roasted then fried, the pizza was as good as any we have had in Italy and my cauliflower dish had serious Thai flavour and actually felt healthy to eat! The burgers (if we ate meat) looked incredible as did the mushy peas, the pies and mash..
If you are the area... definitely worth a visit.
The Royal Oak has a very welcoming atmosphere has soon as you enter through the doors.staff are friendly and there are a great selection of drinks on offer.the food menu is excellent and the food tastes absolutely beautiful and well presented a credit to the chef. there is a fab atmosphere and gets really busy so would recommend booking a table if there is a party booking for food. During the warmer months there is a great seating area to the front so you can enjoy a drink and watch the world go by. Highly recommend 👌
A very good meat pie with mashed potatoes and lovely ale made my evening complete. Nice staff and lovely atmosphere didn't make the shake any worse
They found us a table at short notice in the dog friendly end. The food was nice, apart from my wife's beef, which was tough, but the manageress reflected this in the bill. The service between the main course and the desert was a bit slow. But it was very busy.
Great food, well worth the wait
I've had a vegetarian roast and my partner has the beef roast. Both were delicious
The staff were lovely and the place was very clean and well looked after.
After hiking in Sherwood Forest we decided to have lunch at this beautifully decorated pub which is about a 5-minute walk away from the forest main car park. Many details on the walls remind you of trees. The staff is really friendly. They have a varied menu, suitable for all tastes.
We had fish and chips, beef pie and a Caesar's salad. Lovely food. A place to stop by.
Had a late lunch here for the first time and we we very impressed, even though it doesn’t look like much from the outside compared to posher looking gastro pubs this place over delivered on the food and service. In particular the short rib and Mac and cheese was great and one of the best pub burgers I have had in a long time, it’s nice to have a burger you can taste rather than the extras inside it. Highly recommend this place.
Very good food decent service. Nice atmosphere
A lovely Sunday roast. I had turkey and others had beef- clean plates all round. The beef was a little too pink for my liking.
Friendly and efficient staff.
It’s not cheap but it’s quality and you get good portion sizes.
Luckily for us we decided to pop in for some food before returning to London.
We had Blade of Beef & Korean Tacos and this probably is one of the best meals we have had in any pub or restaurant. We'll presented and full of flavour. Very nice pub with very friendly and helpful staff.
A great evening celebrating my daughters 26th birthday, excellent service, food and staff were lovely. Xx
Really good staff. We were celebrating a big birthday and they let us bring our own cake. I had the bream which was the best meal I have eaten out for a long time. Beautifully cooked on samphire.
My second visit here in two years and once again did not disappoint. The staff were lovely and friendly, the food came out promptly. I had chicken in portobello mushroom sauce with vegetables and my partner a gammon steak. The portions were plentiful and tasted lovely. We shared a chocolate brownie which came with white chocolate shavings which was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend and will visit again!
We found the Royal Oak by accident while staying in the area. It was great to find somewhere with such good food and service.
Having the kitchen open was greatly appreciated, you can see and hear how the kitchen is run.
We booked a table for dinner at the Royal Oak while visiting Sherwood recently and the service and food were both amazing. Definitely recommend the Korean Chicken Tacos!
Amazing food, all sooo tasty, well presented and fresh. The staff were reslly friendly, the place was very clean and well lit. Got good vegetarian options.
Really appreciated their dog friendly attitude. Food was excellent and staff were friendly. Great carpark too.
nothing exciting but nice and tasty didn't like we was seated close to the kitchen,service was excellent couldn't fault the staff at all
