Food and service very good, but we were a bit disappointed that there wasn’t a good fire going, and the festive decorations looked a bit underwhelming, but the Pie was great.

Enjoyable evening, home made pies a speciality for the Pub. Also stayed the night, comfortable, but needs better quality toilet paper.

Nice to have a Guten Free & Vegetarian options. Service was quick and food was good. Only one criticism would be the Yorkshire puddings were cold but the rest of the dinner was hot. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Superb Sunday roast preceded by a fine pint of beer and washed down with a very nice Malbec. Combine this with great service and pleasant atmosphere, what more could you want?

We received a genuinely warm and friendly welcome from the team who were stood behind the bar on our arrival and, even though we were quite early, we were shown to our table. The menus were presented immediately but at no time throughout our entire visit were we rushed. The food was AMAZING. None of us usually have a starter but when we were told the soup of the day, we pounced on it! It was to be the start of a truly delicious food experience. Perfectly sized portions. We’ll definitely return on our next trip to the area and would highly recommend this pub to everyone. Thank you to all concerned who made our lunch such a success.

It was heaving when we arrived, and we were seated a short distance from the packed bar, so noise level was high, and moving around the bar area was not easy. But by around 8.30 the bar had cleared, and calm was restored, much better for us. The pies were truly exceptionally good.

Delicious food. Myself and my friend thoroughly enjoyed our lunches. The pie was amazing. There was a great choice of options on the menu which was what led me to book a table here. This was my first visit to The Royal Oak and will definitely not be the last!

The food was very good and the service was just right. The menu was varied enough to provide sufficient choice without being overwhelming. I would return. Only very small niggle: the bench style seat wasn't very comfortable and you felt like you were perched rather than sat.
