Royal Oak in Cheshire East - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic find for great pub grub. So pleased to have come across this place after a visit to Nantwich. We were greated on arrival which was lovely as first time visitors. Food was great & portions huge !!! We will return

What a lovely little find! Saturday night and not booked but they found us a table, very attentive service told us to sit down and the lovely manager brought our drinks over. Food was very good , bangers and mash with onion gravy and my husband got the fish and chips ( chips are real chips) finished off with a huge slice of cheesecake. The atmosphere was lovely , great service and lovely food. Would definitely recommend.

My favourite place the decor is second to none Inc the outside it's spotless, fantastic music the food is spot on and great value free stopovers for motorhomes everything's about this place I love

Place is lovely. Staff are great and food is amazing! Lovely welcome as we walked in, although busy, we were able to get a table and order food. Food arrived within a short wait. All staff were attentive and smiley!

Lovely meal with great service. Plenty of choice on the menu.

We tried The Royal Oak for the first time since its refurbishment and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A massive difference from the old pub in every way. The whole feel of the place was great, well laid it, spacious and with a great vibe. The four meals we had were excellent, being a coeliac I was well catered for and looked after by our server who was polite, friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable for food and drink with a feeling of not being ripped off for over inflated drinks like at so many establishments. Definitely recommend and will certainly be returning.

Visited the pub for lunch and drinks as a family. Lovely decor. Extremely clean, the toilets are spotless! Play area outside very welcome on a nice day. Good choice of drinks and food was fresh and tasty. Friendly staff who were great with the children. We really enjoyed our visit to the Royal Oak and would strongly recommend. We will be back :)

This is a beautiful old English pub in the Cheshire countryside. Food is fab, the oak-beamed dining room is gorgeous. Lovely place for a celebration.

While we now live in Hampshire, we are originally from Cheshire and decided to spend our Golden Wedding anniversary in the county . Having enjoyed many family celebrations at the Royal Oak in the past, it seemed the ideal venue for our celebration. Despite the distance, we had excellent communication with Arran re setting a day and time, on Arran's advice we circulated the menu so guests could select their meal,which worked perfectly on the day. Right from the start, Dan was very helpful with such items as surprise flowers for my wife Jean along with our anniversary cake, along with celebration drinks. Dan was supported by Katie and Niamh, who were just excellent with their service and lovely nature as nothing was to much trouble even arranging the cake and flowers. So our choice was excellent and Dan and his team really make our anniversary so special. Thanks Dan.

First time I've been the Royal Oak in year's. Knew it had a major revamp/modernisation a while ago but have not been since this. a difference, fantastically done,really impressed 11 out of ten. Didn't take any photos but would recommend and will definitely be going back shortly. Lovely Lovely Lovely can't see why anyone would be disappointed if they visited.

Took my grand-daughter for Sunday lunch for her birthday did not rate it at all beef u could not eat will not be back

Food was of a very poor standard. Had chicken in a mushroom sauce, but the mash potato and few green beans were swimming in a sauce like water. Service was poor too.

Oh my goodness Perfect setting Staff are unbelievably courteous And the food is home cooked and delicious It’s a must visit

Bike nite so we'll organised well done

Excellent pub food. The service though was absolutely amazing. Helpful, attentive but not intrusive. Would go again? You bet

Extremely POOR service! I visited here for some lunch with my family and children and it was the worst decision I made. Upon arrival with my party of 7 I asked for a table outside and asked if someone would come out and take the order and I was told that I needed to order at the bar. I had no issue with this whatsoever. Upon ordering the food at the bar, I also ordered drinks and was presented with a dirty tray with our drinks on it and was told I needed to take this to the table myself. I told the bar staff that I was disabled and asked if they could bring it out for me. When the waitress brought the drinks out (still on the dirty tray) we were missing 2 glasses for the 2 bottles of water we ordered. When I asked for some glasses the waitress said that it was busy, they didn’t have any clean ones and to wait and then I would need to go back inside to get some. It was a good job I asked because she never even addressed the fact. When the food finally came out, the waitress just put the starters on the table not even asking who they were for. The rest of the meals came out but there was no cutlery. When I asked for these I was told “I suppose I can go back in and get them for you”. I had also asked for sauces, etc and she came back out with the bottles empty. This meant that I then had to ask the waitress again for these and she went marching off. I’m sorry, but when I go for a meal I do not expect to be made to feel that I am putting the staff out. They are getting paid. Plus I paid £114 for the meals. I am not sure if the level of service is reduced if you sit outside, compared to inside, but no one actually told me this so I am unsure. However, if this is the case and the expectation is that they ONLY bring you the food, and you have to get your own cutlery, condiments, etc, then at least reduce the meal prices for customers sat outside who are not receiving this basic level of service. Honestly, this is the minimum I would expect when going for a meal. The waitress was very rude, had a face on her and made us feel as though we were putting her out! Not the environment I want to sit in when trying to enjoy a meal. It’s not surprising though, as you pay for your meal before you actually eat it, so she doesn’t have any incentive to provide good service for tips, etc. I am just thankful that her pay isn’t dependent on tips because I would worry for her financial welfare. To top it off, my 3 children went to play in the play area. Do not let your children do this as it is littered in glass. My son cut his finger on a piece of glass causing injury and his finger causing it to bleed. The “manager” came out to investigate and said that he could not see the glass where my son cut his finger and that my son had told him he had thrown it away in the play area. The manager was quite happy with that and walked off leaving this piece of glass in the play area. The glass was not hard to find and in fact we did find it and more and I have attached pictures of this. When I went back in to inform the manager so he could remove the glass from the play area, he verbally attacked me and my daughter causing a scene. When we tried to leave, he followed us outside ranting and raving uncontrollably and flapping his hands up and down which was very intimidating. He said we had all been rude from the minute we walked in (untrue) and if we did not like the service then not to come back. This is NOT the attitude I would expect from a manager as this is disgusting! And from this it is clear that the staff were talking about us. If asking for glasses to drink your drinks out of and cutlery to eat your food with is “being rude” then I don’t know what is. I intend to report this place to H&S as it is clear there is a lack of this in the play area. I wasn’t even told if they had recorded my grandsons injury in the accident book? Save yourselves the hassle that I had to endure and if you want to go for a nice meal, go the Hand and Trumpet - better service, nicer staff, and much better food.

Very nice please, quick service. Food was lovely and prices very reasonable!

My husband said it was the best piece of fish he has ever had ...my pie was lovely but I opted for salt and pepper chips and didn't realise there was chilli flakes with it which ended up too much for my taste

Excellent food good service only slight disappointment was we bought the same drinks 3 times and were charged 10.60 11.70 and 11.90. Wouldn't stop us going again very pleased

The pizzas and wings are great. Really enjoy the bike nights.

Enjoyable meal in nice surroundings at fairly good prices. Really enjoyed the cheese and onion pie which was a change from the norm.

Went Sunday lunch, with the rat (sorry dog) in tow. Excellent food, attentive service and wouldn’t hesitate in returning.

Lovely roast dinner and superb service 👌 Highly recommend the Royal Oak and look forward to going again.

It’s always upsetting for me when pubs don’t take cash.

A fabulous meal. Also, without exception, everyone who served us was so positive, friendly and helpful. Thank you Naimh and all your colleagues for a lovely evening.

Booked for a meal for father's day. All staff were friendly and nothing too much for them. We had the Sunday Roast set menu which was value for money and everyone was happy with the food they choose. Will be definitely going back again.

Went for my birthday which was on a Sunday. I had Sunday lunch which was lovely. But only had a selected menu because it was Sunday. There was a singer on who was very good. There was a nice relaxing atmosphere. I would like to go again and try something from the full menu. It looked delicious. A great afternoon/evening was had by everyone.

Went for the car meet in June, staff are alll keen and friendly

Food is always delicious, every first Wednesday there is a pub quiz which we had the delight to join unexpectedly . We all had a marvellous time.

Lovely pub in a really nice location. Service was great even though it was busy. Not the cheapest place but worth it.

Truly brilliant welcome, service, food and drink! A great dinning experience which we would thoroughly recommend to family and friends!

Fantastic night out. Iive music, great food.

Absolutely perfect best pub stop we have visited staff extremely professional food and service perfect we will definitely be going back, Dan and his team have got it spot on if it was closer to our home town we would be there most weekends 😎😎👍👍

We called in with our little dog for yet another lovely lunch time meal at The Royal Oak . Although very busy the staff were attentive and helpful. We cant rate them high enough for service and good value

Sunday lunch, the food was not very warm. The roast potatoes hard and not a lot of gravy, so very dry.

Absolutely brilliant! Emailed Dan a week before our motorhome pub stopover to check availability (as I knew I’d be driving back from Wales and needing a break). He was extremely professional and welcoming with swift correspondence. Arrived at 12.15pm – nice large, safe car-park at a refurbished and very attractive ‘country’ pub. Checked in, spoke to Dan who was even more welcoming, friendly and helpful (discussing amenities and local facilities). I ordered lunch – which was really nice (and generous portions). Opted to eat in my motorhome – as I’ve a very nervous rescue dog, but Dan was again very accommodating and would have happily let my pooch inside for pub grub. Later on, I ordered an evening meal – great food again, and amazing customer service! They even brought the food to our van because the pub was busy. The pub has a really good vibe, great staff and is very modern, but in-keeping with an old country style. Was in bed by 11.30, pub was shut and all was quiet. Great nights sleep and off early in the morning. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks Dan (and the team).

First time we been hear. Everyone made us feel welcome & the vegetarian option was lovely, just same you did get a little more & maybe mashed potato. Overall definitely come back again.

Can't recommend enough, fantastic food in good size portions, speedy polite service in a lovely family friendly atmosphere, staff went that extra mile taking care of the member of our party with food allergies and mobility issues...thanks guys, you will be seeing us again soon.

Came in for a spot of lunch, this isn't your typical pub grub kind of food. Really fresh and delicious. My partner had fish and chips, perfect crispy batter no grease at all and homemade chips. I had bangers and mash, 3 perfectly cooked sausages, creamy mash with fresh garden peas and gravy, finished with the homemade chocolate brownie which was gorgeous. Will definitely be going again, service and atmosphere was spot on and there is also a little play area for the kids. Highly recommend!

We called today for lunch and glad we did the staff are very friendly and the food is second to none very tasty and hot we will definitely be back in the near future we highly recommend this place

Second time we have been to the Royal Oak recently and been disappointed. We usually find this pub very good but not last night. Really slow service, waitresses who really weren't bothered, parts of the roast dinner missing/small portion size when it came. Real air of were not bothered. Shame, will be giving it a miss for a while. Please bring back the service with a smile.

The pesto pasta here is amazing, portion sizes are brilliant, there’s so much I’d like to try from the menu. My partner had crispy chilli beef salad which looked and smelled fantastic. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic venue took my parents for my dads 84th birthday the staff were so attentive food was amazing would highly recommend a visit.Thank you

Both previous times we have been, the service has been okay, nothing to write about but recently came and the service was abysmal. Next table sat down after us, already had drinks and food ordered before we were seen to. Didn’t see anyone for about 30 minutes after we sat. Drinks took around 20 minutes, after we asked where they were they said the bar didn’t receive the order. One Waitress said don’t worry the drinks will be deducted as they are very sorry for the wait. Drinks were not deducted on the bill as stated, had to mention this. Then we were told only 1 could be deducted when they clearly said ‘drinks’. We explained the other waitress said ‘drinks’ and to that they were removed in the end. Sunday roast was dry and flavourless. The giant lumps of liquorice root (only flavour) found in 2x meals was enough to ruin the tastebuds for the entire meal. Very disappointed with this visit I’m sad to say.

We stopped for Pizza today, ate outside in the sun and really enjoyed it. Probably the tastiest pizza I’ve ever had. The service was excellent, we got chatting to a chap called Dan, I think he is the manager. He couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming.

Called for impromptu lunch both went for the cheese and onion pie which was excellent, nice touch with the jug of cheese sauce !! Staff very friendly and efficient will be back

Only 4 Rings of calamari for £7+ ! And it was over cooked and very tough Vegetables on the roast were very sweet, no one at the table could eat the red cabbage. Drinks were slow being served. Staff lovely.

The Food as usual was excellent. Staff are always friendly and acknowledge customers as soon as they walk in. They go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and also assist if you have any queries. We were informed of all the specials when we were seated and given the waitresses recommendation, her name was Penny. We went on a Birthday and they put candles in the desserts and came out singing Happy Birthday. We were told that the Lemon Cheesecake was out of stock so we ordered something else, instead of just getting us that Penny came back and said the Chef had found more of the cheesecake and would we like to swap, we would have been no the wiser if she hadn't informed us.

Wow wow wow ! What a fabulous place. We recently bought a camper van and found this place on one of the Facebook groups. You can stay over for free if you eat in the pub. We had a meal in the restaurant and I can honestly say the food, service was absolutely perfect. We even stayed in the pub after the meal rather than going back to the van. Everyone made us so welcome and will definitely be back soon.

We wanted somewhere new for lunch. We decided to give the Royal Oak a try. What a find! The welcome and service was brilliant throughout, so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We ordered two recommendations. The cheese and onion pie was amazing, tasting more cheesy than any "cheese pie" we've had in other restaurants. Also excellent was a daily special, lamb burger, coarse and flavourful just like home-made. We thought the modernised decor was nice. The toilets are exceptional, clean and modern, with great decor! We will return.

We were looking to try out somewhere new to us for lunch. We passed the Royal Oak and decided to give it a try. What a find! The welcome and service from Penny was brilliant throughout, so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We ordered two of her recommendations. The wedge of cheese & onion pie was amazing, tasting more cheesy than any "cheese pie" we've had elsewhere. Also excellent was a special of the day, lamb burger, coarse and flavourful like home-made. We liked the nicely modernised decor. The loos are super clean and modern, with entertaining decor! We surely will return.

Visited this pub with my girlfriend for dinner and could not fault it. The food was delicious, with great portions and value for money. The pub itself is beautiful and has been really nicely renovated. The staff were lovely and even though we visited towards the end of the evening, we didn’t feel rushed and nothing was too much bother - we’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely lovely people, came out and gave me a coffee whilst I was there fitting a tyre for their customer in the car park

I was meeting my friends who live nearby. I had heard about the pub from Danny and mentioned next time we visit our friends we would call in for Sunday lunch. From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming and the beer was excellent and well priced. The Guinness was spot on. We had the beef and Yorkshire pudding followed my the bread and butter pudding and the wives had the ice cream sundaes. I can honestly say I really enjoyed the pub and meal and would definitely go back soon. Matt

Food was really delicious, service was amazing, just wanted to mention Penny as she was a lovely lady, could not do enough for us. Toilets were spotless too.

The best starters we've has in a long while, absolutely amazing especially the garlic mushrooms and halloumi fries (which were huge). Mains were slightly overcooked for our liking but still fantastic. Service was spectacular, nothing was too much trouble. 100% recommend, we will be returning.

Excellent food , cooked fresh and hot. Great value for money for quality and portion size. Staff brilliant and attentive even though they had to big groups to serve. Lovely place. Dining room clean, bright and good atmosphere. Toilets clean, well stocked, very usable for toilets for public use ( if you know, you know)

Family meal, including my father-in-law with his age related slowness. Roasts all round! Great food, nice puddings. Staff were attentive, patient, and jolly. Really good experience all round. Highly recommended

Lovely lunch with my grandchildren. We arrived early but this wasn't a problem for the staff and we were looked after really well. Penny, our waitress, was incredibly helpful and fab with the children, giving them colouring sheets and making them feel comfortable. My fish...

We’ve just been for the first time for an evening meal, good choice on menu, food came promptly and was good quality fare, piping hot! Service was excellent. Will return.

Superb pub! Very friendly and attentive staff - from the bar staff to the waiting on, all very pleasant and polite. Lots of smiles all round :-) A great selection of drinks and a great menu, definitely something for everyone. Keep up the great work!!

Great local pub serving excellent food, 5 star service from start to finish

Great food, top-notch service and loads of space. I had the salmon which was perfectly cooked with a decent but not overpowering sauce and some veg. The waitresses were attentive without being pestering. They always knew when they were required. Very professional. There was enough space foe our 15 month old to run around after the meal and play without disrupting other tables.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my Dad here, food was reasonably priced and very tasty! We also very much appreciated the amazing service we received from the friendly staff. We loved that we could bring our puppy along too, he was showered with treats and...

The location is nice with the roudy pub side and the quieter restaurant side. The issue and it's disappointing because the food was good, is the non attention to allergies. I had said I was allergic to mushrooms but to a point that if the food touched mushrooms or it's cooked near I get poisoned! Well this is what happened . I was sick all night and had to catch a flight at 7am and I was really not well! I would advise for the staff and the kitchen to take more seriously allergies !!!

We visited The Royal Oak for a family meal and it was absolutely delicious! The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was lovely and we had a great time. Highly recommended

Fantastic food and drink again this is definitely one of are favourites. Excellent choice of food and drinks for everyone and a great country pub atmosphere . Can’t wait for are next visit.

The service and food were both excellent. Four of use ate, we all had different meals and everyone said how impressed they were. The staff were all very attentive and knowledgeable about the food they were serving. Will be back very soon!

Good handpull local ale. Great good Welcoming locals We'll be back

Great local handpull, friendly locals. Exceptional food simple but well presented and cooked. Definitely returning on our next trip to Bentley

A lovely Sunday lunch to celebrate granddaughters birthday. The pork roast was fabulous and plentiful. Recommend the Cherry Bakewell tart and Cherry ice cream- delicious. A special mention for Penny our server who provided perfect customer service. Thank you!

We went for lunch with a group of people and had a super three course lunch. It was all hot, tasty and well presented. I particularly enjoyed the nickerbockerglory! A real throwback to ice cream on the pier at the seaside, and delicious. Good service, good food and a lovely building. I am going back tomorrow with another group of friends.

Lovely lunch here with friends. Delicious home made cheese & onion pie....would definitely recommend. Excellent service throughout from Penny who was friendly, efficient & smiley!

Lovely lunch with friends Excellent service from Penny! King prawns were delicious, and my friends really 0enjoyed the homemade cheese pie

Dropped in following a meet locally and, damned glad we did. To begin with the Black pudding stack and wings were great, although the wings could have done with a wee bit of sauce. Our starter was hot, tasted great and served with a cheery...
