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.

I LOVE this place. The service is great and friendly. The food is amazing. Have the pies. They are completely filled with meat and are delicious. You won't be disappointed.

A great Sunday dinner. Service was friendly and helpful. The food arrived quickly, beautifully cooked and presented. It was a busy Sunday afternoon so this was especially noteworthy and commendable. The food tasted as good as it looked too. Nice atmosphere and comfortable seating. Cheerful staff who made me feel valued. A very pleasant meal. Thank you to all involved, front of house and in the kitchen.
