We've been to The Royal Oak each time it's changed hands over the past 12 years and been disappointed with the restaurant. However, we thought we'd give the new management another go on Saturday night. We ordered a starter to share of whitebait but the main meal was served before the starter! The chicken and leak and ham pie was served drowned in a dark rich beef gravy and completely spoilt the flavour of the chicken pie. Same gravy was served with the steak and kidney pie. The waiter said this gravy was always served with their Sunday roasts. We thought the dishes were overpriced for the quality and service received.

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly and food was delicious. There was one vegetarian in party and it was great to be able to enjoy the wide range of vegetables that meat eaters were offered with a homemade beetroot and goats cheese tart or nut roast. My husband had roast beef and said it was perfectly cooked - not dry, and full of flavour.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Large portions cut from joints while you wait. You then fill your plate with as many sides as you can fit on the plate.

Excellent beer. Excellent food. We come to Wilshire for the solstice at Stonehenge every winter it's a ritual for us. Another part if the ritual is visiting this excellent little pub they know us by name and expect us each year. Would not miss visiting this pub for the world if we are in the area. Welcoming and really, really excellent

Delightful time. Delicious food and charming service. Be sure to visit the church while in the village and look especially for the carvings in the retaining wall around the church yard that lists the prices of bread since the 1800's.

Was really looking forward to this pub after all of the good reviews but our visit was not great. Service was slow and the food was nothing to write home about. Do not like my burger served 'pink'. My friend asked for her burger to be cooked further but I could not face looking at mine again so skipped my lunch. Apple pie was expensive and had very little apple. Had run out of two puddings but had to wait 20 mins before being told of a problem. On the plus side they did remove one burger from our bill. Now know why all of the good pubs were fully booked days ago.

Typical country pub. Staff very attentive and friendly. Food, we had the 4 meat Carvery and what a surprise..?? the Pork, Turkey, Lamb and Beef was done to absolute perfection and tasty. Roast spuds and parsnips could have been done a bit longer, sprouts past the best, carrots nice and sweet, gravy tasty. One criticism would be that you can only purchase either one meat or four no option to buy two in saying that Would we return..?? YES..!!!

What a lovely place. Staff are very friendly and the food is really good! We had the Sunday Carvery and the lamb was outstanding, great selection of vegetables and real gravy! Beautiful village too and obviously a lot going on with charity events, music events and much more. Wishing this was local to us! With so many pubs closing or becoming gastro pubs that are all the same this is a real treat. Keep it going!

We reserved a table and dined at The Royal Oak on Easter Sunday which has a lovely welcoming ambiance. Friendly, attentive hosts who provided an excellent service along with an extensive, tasty menu. The landlady talked through the menu and offered a range of vegetarian options. Our hosts provided a high chair for our toddler and she thoroughly enjoyed the Easter egg hunt afterwards. A worthwhile journey from Swindon and we will definately return.

We booked for 12.30 and arrived early at 12.10. Unfortunately a funeral party was due to arrive at 12.30 and no-one took our order until 12.50, we then waited at least 15 mins for our food. We were very close to leaving to find another pub in the area.

Having booked and driven 40 minutes in for lunch for 2 at 1300 hrs, 50 minutes later there was no sign or likely to be, for our ordered lunch. The excuse was there was a table for 13 being served!!!!!! The Patron certainly did his best to try and keep us happy but in the end the experience was too disorganised and we left unfed. The Patron insisted the wine/coke which we had consumed whilst waiting was 'on the house'; an appreciated gesture. Very sad especially as I had been so looking forward to the whitebait.

Booked table for 6 which would have been a very tight fit, but only 5 of us turned up so it was ok. The owner and staff were all very helpful and friendly ( even though the pub was very busy) and we had a very nice carvery lunch. One fault, easily remedied, would be to have HOT plates - although the food was hot, it doesn't stay that way on cold plates! Would go back again.

had a great Sunday lunch with a group of friends, having completed a good walk around the woods nearby. Lunch was excellent value and very tasty, with great choice of meat and veg including veggy options. Made very welcome also, with an impressive range of ales, beers and ciders. Will be going again soon!.
