Reviews The Royal Oak

Tried the sunday roast today loads of food excellent quality meat and veg the soup was fantastic sticky toffee pudding yum yum the service from the staff was excellent defo will be booking again.

That was the best pub roast I've ever had; the meats were beautifully cooked, the various veg dishes were very tasty; roasted root veg, cabbage & bacon, cauli-cheese and pea & leek medley (not an overcooked green in sight!!!). Desserts are beautifully presented and the flavours are divine. Back soon. Thanks!

Big thank you to Andy, Anthony and all the team. We held a birthday party here and the food, drinks and service were amazing, we couldn't of asked for more. Highly recommend to all

Went here for the Sunday Roast platter as it was my mother’s birthday. Booking was easy over the phone, I needed to add an extra person to our table. I left a message on the pubs answerphone and received a text confirmation so communication and booking was a good experience. The car park is huge so no issues with parking, decent surface too so no worries about mud, puddles or car damage! There isn’t much choice on a Sunday, you pretty much know you’re going for the Sunday roast; although there are variations for vegetarians etc. Upon entering the pub it’s really well done in the style of a traditional English country pub; it’s very aesthetically pleasing. The staff were warm and welcoming, the bar is right in front of you as you enter which means drinks were quickly ordered for us. We set up a tab and proceeded to our table which was in a large open area of the pub which at a guess would have been the skittle alley at some point in the past. Again it was done out very nicely, clean decent tables and chairs; just a pleasant environment to relax in. The Sunday roast platter was reasonably quick to arrive, here they do serve it up on a platter, you then help yourself to what you want. Separate dishes for veg and gravy are provided. We did have to ask for extra apple sauce etc as we were only provided with one small pot which wasn’t going to cater for a table of 6. The friendly staff did bring us a lot more when asked. We were served 2 platters between the 6 of us, for me there wasn’t really enough meat, roast potatoes and parsnips but for others on our table they thought there was plenty. The food itself was great quality! Loved it. We then proceeded into desserts and finally coffees; a decent selection of both are available from the Sunday menu. I had the triple chocolate brownie with ice cream which was excellent. Whilst we were sat inside due to the weather it is worth noting this pub has a great covered outdoor area with some lovely views. Would love to come back in the summer and sit out there with some bar snacks and a drink! On the whole based on my experience I would totally recommend this pub for a Sunday lunch, I hope to return during the week to sample the ‘normal’ menu soon.

Amazing food and great service. Highly recommend the Sunday roast, but the weekday menu is scrumptious too! Great variety and delicious 😋

Visited with 3 teenage children and two small dogs. We had a lovely meal in the bar area. Amazing flagstone floor and hearth. Attentive service and very reasonable given the quality of the food.

Cane her for the first time after walking past it atleast a thousand times, and it was definitely worth the visit. Orderd a couple of drinks from the amazing staff and decided to sit outside in the nice sun with a picturesque view of the local farm land. Everything was amazing. Ordered a 3 course and it was lovely. But. I highly recommend the Hake Kidiri Curry. It was 1 of THE best dishes I have had in years even as a chef. Things I would add to benefit this venue: some music, live, or speakers to add a better atmosphere. A taller ceiling for us gents over 6ft. Apart from that I will DEFINITELY be coming back again😁

Sunday lunch damn, best we've ever had. Piled high selection of rare beef, chicken, melt in the mouth pork, crackling, large roasties and Yorkshires, real gravy. Served with loads veg, greens, peas, beans cabbage and bacon, roasted root vegetables. It's well worth the money, good atmosphere very good staff. If you want Sunday lunch come here! Hot horseradish!
