Super pies, we would liked to have taken some away. Coffee was not very hot, so warm milk would have been nice.

Overall good experience but the price of a bottle of prosecco at 36.00 was quite high. We were not given a wine list so had no option to choose a bottle ourselves.

From the moment we walked in the door (and were warmly greeted by the staff), this was a great experience. The food was outstanding, varied and beautifully presented. Strongly recommended.

Our table felt a little crammed in between 2 larger tables and consequently felt dominated by their conversations/chatter. As for the food, the pork was good, but the beef was particularly poor - tough and flavourless. We both found the gravy extremely salty.

Food was absolutely amazing. Fresh and tasty. I’m glad we booked here. The pub was quiet when we arrived and during our meal but it was quite early but it got busier after 12:30 ish. The music was nice and the staff were amazing and attentive. Service was quick and they couldn’t help enough for anything you asked! 10/10 would return.

Never disappointed with the food and service when I eat at the Royal Oak. I keep coming back which speaks for itself. Shame I was sat next to a large noisy group on my last visit but that certainly is not the restaurant's fault.
