Fantastic food in the perfect environment served by great people! If you want a Michelin star dining experience as well as a beautiful country pub environment with an outstanding open fire. Look no further. The staff took the time to get to know us and make us feel like a local. We’ll be returning time and time again!
Outstanding pub/restaurant in the countryside. Mix of old build and modern deco. Food reliably outstanding. Dogs allowed in restaurant sadly. Otherwise, it is a great atmosphere with a mix of old, family, and Instagram generations. Would be good to allow both course numbers/menus at the same table. Food is sublime - local and seasonal.
Dinner for two with the 4-course option. Food is definitely inventive, with in-season locally sourced products. The Venison and the Turbot were cooked perfectly. The wine list is approachable; the service professional yet friendly. The décor and the atmosphere are calm with tables at a reasonable distance from each other. Will definitely go again in another season to taste different ingredients.
Phenomenal gastropub. Amazing and friendly staff, and the food is wonderful. They’re working hard to be environmentally conscious and support local farmers. Definitely plan to return.
We had a lovely meal here this evening. A really lovely pub with very friendly staff. We had the 6-course menu and very glad that we did. The food was a really high standard and having the 6-courses means you can try both dishes on each course which were very different dishes. The homemade brioche was amazing - so much so we had a second loaf when offered! Overall an amazing experience and we would definitely love to visit again soon.
Had the 6 course tasting menu. Very friendly serving staff and the chefs delivered and explained each course. Lots of in season ingredients used. Well presented and very tasty. Off the beaten track, but well worth a visit.
Was very kindly taken to the Royal Oak for my birthday lunch recently. I really enjoyed what they are doing there! The food was high calibre as you would expect from a Michelin Star, delicious and innovative. The staff and patron were the stars though, so friendly/welcoming and added greatly to our experience. I would strongly recommend!
Thank you the team for a wonderful lunch! We had the 3 course meal and every course is delicious, the pre-meal dish added before the 1st course is a nice touch. Price is reasonable too. Small improvement is the texture of the meat is a bit tough…the cod can be more flavourful! We would return if we stop by the area again :)
What a lovely find, set in a small village. Exceptional Food (a 4 course tasting menu), but with some complimentary tasters - loved the 'eggs and bacon' - believe me, it's more than your imagination can think about, all in a fabulous way. Dishes and flavours that are created to blow your mind! It's a must. Celebrated our anniversary yesterday ❤️ ps homemade bread to die for!
We had a superb lunch here a couple of days ago. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and the IPA I had was fantastic and well kept.
The food we had was completely flawless. From the bread served with home made butter to the pigs head and black pudding lasagne it was just sublime.
It's great to see such a high standard of cooking, and it very certainly is.
I'd recommend this place to anyone.
