We were made to feel very welcome, the staff were lovely, attentive but not over the top. They didnt try to force desserts etc when I didn't want one. The food was lovely, I had fish and chips and hubby had a pie and a choc brownie sundae.

Absolutely delicious!! Was recommended for the homemade pies! Was amazing! Had the brisket and peppercorn sauce pie, beautiful crispy pastry, cooked to perfection, no soggy bottom and full of tender meat with no air gap in the pie. Gravy was delicious and I’ll be honest I licked my plate it was that good! This wasn’t just any pie…..it was THE ONE AND ONLY ROYAL OAK PIE!!!
