Dinner at the Royal Oak was fantastic as usual. It's so good to be able to have a roast and slow be able you choose from the everyday day menu. My husband had his favourite dish of ham, eggs and chips. He has it every time as 'It's the best!' See you again very soon.

Kleines feines Gasthaus in der wunderschönen Stadt Burford, der Sitzplatz war zwar nicht so gemütlich wie andere Sitze kennen, aber das Essen war wohlschmeckend und die Bedienung sehr auf zack. Auch preislich sehr gute Preise, zudem sind die hausgemachten Pies eine Empfehlung wert.

Extremely good food, reasonably priced with friendly service in a "proper" pub. Their pies are very good and worth the wait to have them cooked from scratch. No background "muzak" is a big plus.

Great little pub, and extra points for friendliness towards dogs. Pies were really good and well worth the 20min wait. A good no fuss experience.
