A friendly welcome. A pleasantly located table not laid when we arrived. Excellent Wadworth's 6X cask Ale to drink. Very nice roast lamb but let down a little by accompaniments. Superb Raspberry Eton Mess for pud. Served with two spoons and easily enough for two. Would probably go back but not for a Sunday roast.

Holidaying in local area & decided to try a local pub for Sunday lunch, and I'm glad we chose The Royal Oak. The roast beef was a good size, very hot & absolutely delicious! I had to try the waffle for dessert which needed the scoop of ice-cream to lift it, but was charged extra £2.95 for it which makes it a pricey dessert. The ice cream should have been included with the dessert imo. My only complaint was the sourdough roll for the starter which was very doughy, slices of bread would have been better and there wasn't enough balsamic vinegar in the pot with olive oil. All in all a good meal, with friendly attentive staff.

Lovely atmosphere! Cosy and warm, what one imagines a Cotswold pub to be. Delicious Sunday roast with 3 choices - beef, lamb and pork. Fresh vegetable mix plus cauliflower au gratin, roast potatoes and a delicious Yorkshire pudding. No scimping on the gravy

Great food and the service was really good too. We are local and have not been for a while but certainly was not disappointed. The pies were really good, our son had the pork/apple/black pudding and said it was really good but a little too sweet. Our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed it all. The only disappointment for me was I wished they would do sweet potato fries as I cannot eat normal potatoes 😊
