Royal Oak in Wiltshire

Four of us were recommended this place so we rocked up. There was a lovely lady Shayni ( fabulous nails) behind the bar and a really friendly young man in the kitchen, Josh. The starters, mains and desserts were all scrumptious! My husband even made comments on their coffee. He often finds it bitter ( in other restaurants) but rated theirs. Thank you to both of you for making our experience so enjoyable.

Enjoyed a lovely roast dinner on Mothering Sunday. Nothing Gourmet, but perfect pub grub, exactly what you’d expect. Nicely presented and tasted great. The pub had a nice garden with views of Westbury white horse, which our little boy enjoyed looking at thru the window. Will be back in the summer so he can try out the slide, lol. Also, they were selling local made produce inside the door, and I took home the most amazing pickled eggs. Delicious. Thank you Royal Oak. Keep up the excellent service :)

We have just had a great lunch. Not been since pre-covid. Service was great, food was well cooked and very tasty. Great value.

First thing to say is I found this pub friendly and welcoming with great food and good service. Went for Mother’s Day lunch, plenty of food, good quality and came quickly after ordering. Friendly staff and children’s roast portion was plenty for my hungry 10 year old.

Lovely cosy pub with friendly, efficient service. Food came out in good time - piping hot, delicious and a large portion. Reasonably priced. The whole ambiance is one of cozy, country pub. It’s not on a main road so look out for the signs as it is well worth the visit. On the strength or our experience we booked for Valentines night too! Highly recommend and will be back.

We have had a family meal here on numerous occasions over the last few years, but sadly the quality has definitely gone down hill. The haloumi fries were overcooked and deep fried to a crisp and the pastry topping on the pie was undercooked and raw in parts. It's a shame as it is a nice country pub, but the quality leaves a lot to be desired.

We had the most amazing Sunday lunch today. The food was delicious and the lovely atmosphere was accentuated by the warming fire and the heartfelt welcome from Paul, Shania and Tom

Massive thanks to the royal oak who welcomed a party of 14. Great atmosphere, above and beyond from the owners and Tom. Nice Sunday lunch with vegetarian options. Highly recommended.

Visited this establishment for a Sunday lunch, the staff were friendly and the quality of what we were served was nice! Sadly the variety of vegetables and portion sizes were small! For £18:50 a head you’d expect a lot more!

five of us turned up for sunday lunch ,we had roast beef and all the trimmings ,it was wonderful the beef was very tender and the veg was also very good,the sweets we had were wonderful all dishes went back clean. The ale i had was was one of cornwalls best ,the staff were very friendly an knew there jobs.

We called in here today for dinner, the fish and chips were all home made and extremely good and tasty. The service was inviting, friendly and very good.

Had a lovely meal on Sunday at the Royal Oak. Sunday roast was excellent, everything homemade. Best Sunday lunch i have had in a long time. service was also good as nothing seemed to be a problem. Will definitely return to this. definitely worth a trip.

This place has a lovey atmosphere and a great outdoor space that overlooks Westbury white horse. The staff are friendly and the food is great.

We have been coming to the Royal Oak for over 30 years and have seen several different ownerships. We were delighted to see that the new owners are clearly doing a great job. The interior is lighter and more welcoming The staff were very friendly and efficient Excellent menu with lots of gluten- free options The food was freshly cooked and delicious We wish the new owners every success - it certainly deserves to do well

Super Sunday lunch with family. As a veggie I had the nut roast which was great. Everyone else very happy with their roast beef and chicken. Puddings enjoyed by those who had room. Staff were lovely and kids made use of the .play area

The food was absolutely outstanding. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic place. Highly recommend

Had a meal here on Saturday evening, the pub was rather busy with a large party event but despite this the staff could not do enough to accommodate us. The food was lovely, couldn't fault it and amazing customer service from all the staff. We...

Had the roast beef which was cooked to perfection seasonal vegcwas great and fantastic Yorkshire pudding.

Me and my wife were driving through yhe area and came across the royal oak hawkesbridge. We decided to stop for a Sunday lunch and what a decision that was. It was the best subday roast ive had in a long time. Staff very friendly...

... or maybe the best ever. I'm really not a fan of potato but the chips were delicious - full of flavour and cooked to perfection to leave a very slight crunch. The haddock was really nice, the batter perfect. Not sure why the tartare...

We received the warmest welcome on arrival, lovely decor and ambience, excellent table service and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend.

Lunch for 5 this Wednesday, we all chose from the Lunch menu. The meal comprising a choice of two courses, some choosing starter and main, the others with main and sweet. All excellent quality and reasonably priced. Very helpful friendly waitress. Will visit again when...

Enjoyed the food here staff were all very friendly Thank you to Katie who served us on our last day didn't get the other staffs names but all very friendly nothing too much trouble

We had the roast boards and the food wasn't great. The roast potatoes tasted so stale and off, the gravy was like water and had no taste, the beef was nice though. Lovely staff members and it might have been an off day but for...

We have always come to the Royal Oak and the recent changes made are great. My little one loves the new slide! The food is excellent and the staff are friendly - couldn’t ask for more 😊

Visited for a Sunday lunch. Excellent meal, good service and nicely presented. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. The venue is a typical Wiltshire pub. It is relatively spacious and, given decent weather, there is a very pleasant garden area to the rear with...

Visited for a family Sunday roast and we were not disappointed. Jake and all the staff were lovely and very welcoming. The food was great, beef beautiful and tender. Can’t wait to come back to try the weekday menu 👍

Came here through the recommendation of a work colleague. Used to come here 20 years ago when the kids were young. Well what can I say, greeted warmly as we walked in by Jake, who made us feel welcome from the start. Ordered our meal...

Wow. Really impressed with the food, the setting and the service. A traditional local village pub and a warm atmosphere. We had a choice of x3’roasts and x2 veg plus traditional pub grub. Portions were just right but if you needed more, you simply had...

We hadn't booked to eat at the Royal Oak but were made to feel very welcome and were quickly shown to a table. Throughout our time there the staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was not cheap but the quality and...

Sadly a poor meal was had by 4 out of 5 of us. Food was dry, tasteless & missing the quality and thought you would expect at the prices being charged. The menu looked great with lots of choice to cater for all tastes & the sister pub in Lacock had good reviews. However, the standard of cooking was very lacking & the menu was clearly beyond the chefs ability. Keep it to well cooked pub food if you cannot deliver your current menu to the standard it requires. Real shame as it's our local & a lovely village pub. Let's hope the constructive feedback we gave helps drive in the right direction Onwards & upwards...we wish you luck

We had a delicious Sunday lunch, good quality, good portions & good service, could not fault it in anyway, we will be booking again

We had a lovely meal we both went for turkey seeing as it’s Christmas!I had a lovely Malbec wine,the young lady who served us was polite, helpful and lovely.we enjoyed our turkey and then had puddings Xmas pudding which was lovely and chocolate brownie which was rich and sweet both very enjoyable, we met the manager very lovely gentleman who was also very welcoming. thank you for a fab night we had a lovely night and would highly recommend we will be back soon with our family.

Lunch yesterday was delicious. Fantastic service, very witty pleasant people! I don't think the food is expensive going by todays prices at all. New people, new menus, good quality & excellent presentation. Happily return - already booked!

We've visited this pub several times over the past few years but this was our first visit with the present owners. Arrived soon after 12 and surprised to find we were the only customers (unusual in our experience).We had a friendly greeting and had a choice of tables. First glance at the menu told us why it was quiet, prices had risen around 50% with the new owners, choice was rather limited especially as my friend was a vegetarian. The food was good but I would question the value for money. I don't think we will be making a return visit

Dropped in for a meal and a few beers last night. The pub has just reopened under new ownership (2nd time in 4 months) and is now under experienced management. All of the staff were welcoming and friendly, and the service and food were both good. Well kept ales and further improvements to come as the pub reestablishes but a great start . We would certainly recommend that you try the Royal Oak again if you have been disappointed under previous ownership. Sunday lunch looks amazing

So delighted to have our local pub open again and even more delighted with the food and the service, Jake and the team couldn’t be more welcoming. What a joy to have this quality of eaterie on our doorstep, don’t be put off by past visits, the difference in offering is beyond comparison.

Our gang of six friends go our for Meals on a reasonable regular basis to local pubs and restaurants. Over the years we have tried most venues. We had heard that The Royal Oak in Hawkeridge had opened again very recently and that we should give it a try as it was recommended very highly. Well I can confirm the Food was absolutely fantastic. We all had something different and none of us had anything to say other than it was some of the best Pub food we have tasted for a long time. Anyone reading this review should really give it a try. You will not be disapointed.

Wow is all I can say! This pub has just re-opened by the owners of the rising sun in lacock. The food is TOP NOTCH as is the service. Neil is very welcoming and his team are brilliant. We were served by Angel and she was so attentive could not do enough for us. Will be returning at the next opportunity

My wife and I have just returned from visiting the Royal Oak, and had a fantastic mid-week evening meal. We received a friendly and authentic welcome, and were informed that the premises had only been under the new owners for the past 7 days. The menu is well thought out, had enough variety and complimented the wine list. Looking for a quick bite to eat, we chose Hake with new potatoes, chorizo and samphire, and also a home made burger with bacon, cheese and gherkins with a side of home made coleslaw and chips. Both mains were delicious, and so was dessert of a gluten free chocolate brownie with banana and peanut twist, washed down with a tasty and smooth bottle of Spanish organic wine. All reasonably priced, and with great attentive service. With the loss of the Cedar Hotel (Chalford House), the Snooty Fox (Warminster) amongst others over recent years, fingers crossed the Royal Oak will transition triumphantly through its opening period providing Westbury residents a decent place to eat and drink for the future.

Had a lovely dinner this evening - we decided to check out the The Royal Oak in Hawkeridge, Never been before, however it has just been reopened under new management, the team from Rising Sun Lacock - wasn’t disappointed, great menu, great service and fantastic prices.

Went in for a quick bite to eat, so pleased to see The Royal Oak re-open again. Had a great dinner with locally sourced produce with a relaxed and casual enviroment its deffo a goot spot to have a pint and some good food. Cant wait to see what the future holds for this "Hidden Gem"

Went to the Royal Oak for the first time since the new owners had took over.Very disappointing.We went for Sunday lunch, waited 45 minutes for our starter & then had to return the soup as it was Luke warm.The waiter produced our cutlery for our soup from the back pocket of his trousers.We also noticed his apron could have done with a good wash!We then had our main course & this was not very good either as the Roast Beef was tough & the red cabbage just tasted of vinegar.We decided not to have dessert as by this time we just wanted to go.The service was rubbish at no point did anyone ask us if everything was ok or if the food was alright.We will not be returning & if I advise you to avoid!

I have written a few reviews about the Royal Oak since we moved to the area 7 years ago. Always consistently friendly with great food.This was our first time back since they've re-opened and what a disappointment.With the car park almost empty we were a little concerned that it was still closed. However we were welcomed in and the service was fast and good. It was only a light lunch so we ordered Garlic Breaded Mushrooms with 2 Beef, Rocket and Horseradish sandwiches, a pint of beer and a white wine. The mushrooms were lovely and hot but we could hardly taste any garlic whatsoever. They had run out of rocket so one of us had lettuce and one didn't and they remembered our order, so that wasn't an issue. The beef was tough and couldn't be bitten but had to be cut with a knife before chewing - as my favourite meat this had never been a problem here in the past. The beer (Pirate) was unpleasant according to my husband and my wine (albeit inexpensive when we got the bill) also tasted cheap and nasty. We were asked at the table how the meal was and I said the beef was tough (could only manage half - the rest brought home for the dog!). My husband was also asked when he went to pay and reiterated our issues. They did apologise but sadly we won't be back and will take our custom elsewhere in the future.

So pleased the Royal Oak is open again and I have to say the team are absolutely amazing so friendly they created a lovely atmosphere and we all loved the food, steaks cooked perfect and kids meals were perfect size desserts were fab highly recommended the cheesecake. Can’t wait to go back to try the Sunday lunch. Thank you guys x

Laura and her team were very welcoming and took time to have a chat. Our meal was very good and nicely presented and nothing was too much trouble. I look forward to trying some of their specials in the future. It is so lovely to have our friendly pub back .I wish them all the best in their new venture Tanya

Used previously and collected our food but were told they would happily deliver as we are in the village. So we ordered a takeaway in the week and had it delivered.Both meals were delicious and arrived hot. The chips were especially good!!! Will use again.

Food and service was fantastic! Great sized portions! Nothing to pick fault with! We will def be returning to try more in the menu! Best meal I have eaten out in a very long time!

Booked a table not really expecting too much as the website looked a bit dated, but when we arrived everyone was so lovely and the pub itself is so cute and wholesome, the food was amazing, so amazing in fact we went the very next day to have a roast! I had the steak and it was to die for! My husband had the lasagne and I dont think I've ever seen such a cheesy delight!

We ordered 5 meals, 2 vegan and 3 steak sandwich. They arrived on time, hot and fresh and were absolutely gorgeous. What a superb meal enjoyed by all. Our only regret was not ordering a pudding!

Would just like to say , visited here this Sunday - just for a traditional Sunday pint - was greeted at the door where sanitizers were readily available - got taken to one of the new garden tables and our drinks was ordered and brought to our table - the service was excellent and welcoming ! it was by far one of the most professional set ups i have seen throughout this covid epidemic - and felt completely safe ! well done to the owner and all staff :) also it was nice to see that during the lockdown major works to the bar/ toilets and garden area have been carried out which has given the pub a real warm atmosphere

We were very impressed with the member of staff who welcomed us, ensured we did all T&T stuff, took us to a table abd then took our drinks order. That guy was fab! Informative, chatty, and made us feel welcome. The restaurant was clean, well spaced and they had good safety signage. Another member of staff brought out our food. She was... Much less cheery... (polite way of putting it). The food itself was very well presented, hot, decent portions and tasted good. We both had pies and likes that they still gave us a jug of gravy to use if we wished. Big bonus for us. We ordered desserts too. They were also very tasty and a decent size. Good value for money. Our son had a whippy icecream and that was delicious. They also have a really good selection of soft scoop flavours. Be warned though it may contain ingredients not listed - Eg my banana and chocolate contained random pecans. They do state to inform them of intolerances and we do agree it was our mistake for ordering that hence not making a fuss about it. But... Had we asked the waitress she said herself she'd have said no because she didnt realise they had bought a different icecream this time. At the end of the meal we went to pay. The lady then approached the member of staff doing our bill to inform him of why we didnt eat one of the scoops of icecream wed paid for but he told her tough it was the customers fault. We were grateful she did this and recognised it. Our point is fair enough have that strict rule but if thats the case inform your staff of whats in the products regularly and perhaps make sure they point it out to the customer at some point when they are ordering. Also some people just dobt like certain flavours so maybe add more info to the menu - banana and chocolate doesnt usually mean banana and pecans. Most importantly have respect for one another especially in front of a customer. This last few minutes was a big negative point for us after what had been a really decent afternoon together. Overall a good meal and we enjoyed most of the service too. Hopefully the little parts of odd service were just an off day as we all have those We would return and recommend it to others.

What a brilliant family run Pub. The food was excellent (ate there 3 days running) as were the staff. Very friendly atmosphere and banter.The garden area has lovely views over farm land and a view of the White horse also. What more could you ask for to enjoy a very memorable meal out whilst on holiday.The measures taken for Covid were excellent.

Cannot fault our evening here, lovely staff. Me and my mother are both coeliac , wide range of gluten free on the menu, clearly labelled. Large portions at decent prices and a lovely garden. Definitely recommend for coeliacs

We visited as a group of 10 to celebrate my husbands 40th.Really nice pub. The staff were so friendly, joined in with our banter and even drove us home (we were at an AirBnb and couldn't get a taxi) Food was delicious! A little disappointed with one of the meals which was overcooked/burnt but I am sure it would have been dealt with if we had mentioned it.Overall a great place to visit and would recommend and return if we ever go back To Trowbridge.

Stayed for a week in Westbury to get away from the working from home environment. When away, we tend to alternate between eating in and eating out and we chose The Royal Oak for our final meal eat as it was rated number 1 restaurant in Westbury. We have eaten out 4 times and, for us, The Royal Oak fell well short compared to other places. We both had a roast as this was, based on reviews, excellent. Not sure who reviewed them though.The lamb I had was overcooked, the potatoes were, at best, Aunt Bessies frozen. We had 2 Yorkshire puddings each. All 4 were identical, again Aunt Bessies. We had stuffing balls - you guessed it, Aunt Bessies.. veg looked like and tasted like it was cooked earlier in the day or week and reheated. We ate at Thai Orchid - twice and Cinnamon Lounge. Both were far better meals and atmosphere. Don’t usually post reviews, but felt in this instance I had to. Will be posting reviews for the other restaurants we visited.

Good atmosphere and nice staff.. food is good and reasonable price.. great selection of deserts i would recommend the sticky toffee pudding.

We enjoy every visit we make here.the food is great and the service from their hardworking team is a credit to them all.

Found this pub/restaurant on google and we were not disappointed! Great service from the minute I stepped through the door, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Easily one of the best roasts I have ever had out. Good value for the quality of food. Would definitely come here again, however I’d recommend booking to be guaranteed a table.

Fab menu Excellent food Very tasty burgers- we had 2 double burgers, a Stilton burger and chicken and churizo Felt very safe in the current situation

Went for lunch whilst away on a break in the area. Felt very safe with all the covid precautions in place. Staff very friendly and food delicious.

Popped into this pub on the way back from Weymouth to Malmesbury from the minute we arrived we were greeted with a warm friendly encouraging greeting the food was classic pub food but the quality was excellent, portions were fantastic value for money, excellent and the staff incredibly Welcoming, very good covid restrictions as well and made us feel completely relaxed. We could do with someone like this in Malmesbury to set up a business... none pretentious good value and excellent pub!.Dan was great....well worth visit

Really nice evening, the food was great- lovely to see so many vegan options. Elle looked after us very well- would highly recommend.

Turned up without a booking but they agreed to let us sit outside. Lovely garden really peaceful and dogs accepted. Made us and the dog feel very welcome. Food was fabulously cooked and service was awesome.

great food for my fusy mother, the meals where a very good portion size, cooked to perfection would recommend to anyone

2 tables of 5. A fantastic afternoon with great service and food. The mixed roast was excellent!If your a Gin lover this is the place to come. 60+ gins. We tried 5. Grapefruit Gin Looking forward to the next visit.Thanks again to Dean and the Team.

Ventured out for the first time since lockdown and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We are very happy with the measures they have put in place to keep both staff and customers safe at this trying time. We had steak and ale pies and they were delicious! All staff were very friendly upon our arrival and during our meal. Would highly recommend!!

Visited here recently and must say the food was amazing and the staff was very friendly would 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be returning. Overall a great friendly place with loads of variety of food and drink! 10/10 👍

A friend and I visited this establishment for a quiet drink and some light lunch. It was a sunny day so we sat in the newly refurbished garden, the view and surroundings are peaceful and lovely, and the food was very tasty. The staff were warm and friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. Due to covid the service is table at the moment and they ensured our drinks were topped up and didnt leave it to long between visits :) would definitely recommend.

Since lockdown we’ve experienced many places but the Royal Oak by far has stood out the best .. the food has and will always be excellent with great service from staff.. the measures they have put in couldn’t be more clear but still customer friendly. It’s an out of the way pub but you wouldn’t regret driving your family here for a warming and comfortable family meal. Well done guys

Food was excellent, service was excellent everything was excellent well done everyone look forward to our next visit

wow!!! Its amazing, it is 3 months since we ha e been here and again the place didn't dissapoint. the pub has been refurbished - totally, massive change and looks stunning, food as always great, fresh and tasty Stuff very friendly Coming back soon !!

We visit the Royal Oak quite frequently, each time it’s as good as the last. It has such a friendly local and welcoming feel. The staff make you feel like friends and the food is always superb. Highly recommend especially for their Sunday roast.

Hadn’t booked but the team were ace and very accommodating they found space and seated us lovely wine and the steak and Stilton pie with chips and veg was spot on this place is always first on my list for a family friendly pub with home cooked grub and lovely staff never disappoints

A nice relaxed un-hurried experience, Food was nice hot & very tasty, Overall a very pleasant dining choice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Warm welcome from the staff, ordered our meals, my husband had the fish and chips deal and I had the steak and ale pie. It was all very lovely, we finished our meals and sat at the table waiting for the staff to clear the plates, we sat for 15 mins, and the waitress served another table that had come in after us. No one approached us so we got up and went to pay. Asked why we were leaving as we were entitled to a sweet under the fish and chip deal and when we told them why. They did not have a good answer so paid up and left.

I realise the Pub has to follow a strict order regarding to allergies, but since the pub is staying open 7 days a week and just before it started that, the food standard changed.We use to love to go over for a Roast Dinner, but they've changed alot, the gravy isn't as good as it use to be, its got a twang and its not a good one either. It is more onion flavoured based, luckily it doesn't upset me, but the flavour isn't good. The consistency of the Roast dinners used to be first class, but the meat has changed too, It's either tough and dried out, or its non existent. Both of us experienced this one day we went in. So, since then we have had a bar meal, which i can't fault at all.So, just need to change that gravy back to your old supplier and your Roast dinners hopefully will return to be fab once again. Othewise I advise others to stay clear of them.

We went yesterday to Royal Oak and it didnt disappoint us again... I had a gorgeous chicken burger with perfect fries and my husband ordered the beef pie...that was fantastic, I couldn't focus on my burger, which was great and very tasty, as the pie looked, smelled and tasted not from this worldFantastic signature Royal Oak pie

having been coming here for the last few years drinking and thought id treat myself to one of there lovley meals with my family. one of the best steak and ale pies ive ever had and was not dissapointed by the size and the price it came too. will highly recomend to anyone! 10/10

We've only just discovered this little gem despite living a few miles away for many years !The food really was exceptionnally good. I would particularly recommend the Mushroom and Halloumi burger and the Tarte Tatin. I've definitely never tasted such delicious chips ! The prices were very reasonable and we appreciated the fact that smaller portions were proposed on the menu for those with smaller appetites. An added bonus is that all the members of staff were absolutely delightful, friendly and helpful and very careful to check out any possible food allergies. I would recommend this pub without any hesitation and I'll definitely be going back as soon as I can.

Having been to this pub plenty of times and always had a pretty good meal there and also had our xmas work meal here for the last few years so we were expecting a good night. Thought The xmas menu was a little dull when we preorder , but meal was all booked so we went with the flow. Well ,we had all preordered our meals (19 of us ) well in advance, off the christmas menu.First thing we were told when we arrived on the night was , we have no soufflés for starters , we did not order enough and we have run out , (so not homemade in the pub then ! )Why have you ran out ,we pre-ordered ? Not impressedSo everybody that had ordered the soufflés had to chose something else off the menu.The food itself was ok , plenty of veg and it was hot , most had roast . The meal felt like it was very rushed, as soon as we have finish one corse the next one was down. Would have liked abit of time between course to let food go down and to be able to chat. Maybe because it was a Sunday evening and they all wanted to go home early .Last orders was called at. 9:30 We were asked to leave the pub At 9.55 because they were shutting at 10 even though we had nearly full drinks still So we had to drink up and leave. Pub has seem to have lost its atmosphere. Sorry Royal Oak but Felt disappointed this year.

We attended the Royal Oak for our works xmas meal for the 3rd yr on the trot, we have always rebooked after each meal as it has always been great, fabulous food,amazing service, not rushed, that is until this yr!!! The food was still good,however they had run out of some starters & people had to order other things from the menu which I found odd as we pre booked weeks ago!!!! The food was hot & very nice but as soon as our knife & fork went on the plate the next course was on it's way out,no time for the previous course to go down or for chatting, which is the whole point of getting together, I'm not sure how but they managed to do 3 courses for 22 people in just over 1hr 20mins!!! It is with a heavy heart but we may have to look for somewhere else next yr.

Took a group of 18 for Sunday lunch. Pub is nicely tucked away from the main road with a large car park. Pub is bright and warm. Comfortably seated us on one table. Lots of menu options - we all ate something different but the meals came out as close together as we could expect and were good quality, tasty food. Good to offer smaller portions for the roasts for those that wanted them.

Everything is Frozen and reheated, If you are happy with this and being overcharged for it please be my guest go there. If you like good home cooked pub grub then avoid it like the plague. Truly atrocious.

Good choice of vegan and vegetarian main courses plus friendly service. The portion size was also good.

This is a great pub, family friendly, and a great menu. Superb roasts. Good to book in advance. Good kids play area. Great staff. Really friendly ambiance. Good price. Huge portions but offer smaller plates. Everyone must try. Thanks to all in The Royal Oak.

Thank you for the wonderful meal and service everyone really enjoyed it such a great pub best in the area

Once again we have not been disappointed! The food was beautiful the service was exceptional you have a great pub and a fantastic team, and you are all doing a fantastic job big well done to you all, you are so welcoming and friendly I come from Swindon once a month to see my mum and come to you every time and never been disappointed, thank you so much for a wonderful time, you will remember me the gent who had 9 extra onion rings hahaha bad I know but they are so lush x

I use this pub for birthdays, drinks, Christmas day or just a pub lunch and never been disappointed. Great service all round.

I’m a regular customer here, and I came in again this weekend. Once again the service did not disappoint! Such friendly welcoming staff that could not do enough to satisfy our every need with their great hospitality.

WE HAVE HAD AT LEAST TWENTY OF OUR GUESTS AT THE ROYAL OAK ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ,,,SOME WERE FROM LONDON AND WERE FOUND A TABLE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE PACKED OUT A PARTYY OF 50 PEOPLE,my guests all said they would stay here just to go back to the roya loak ,favourite meals were home made pies ,,cottage pie and lasagne ,,all my guests gave ten out of ten and 4have already booked there in november ready for the xmas markets

Birthday meal we had a great night food was lovely all hot and delicious kids very happy playing in the garden the team very happy and helpful and there were so many of us and the team made it look easy. thank you 😊

Absolutely terrible service today. Me and my family enjoyed our meals, not an issue with the food. But when has it become acceptable to slam the entrance door and swear about how much you hate working here. Oh and that wasn’t the worse bit.. we really enjoyed hearing the staff arguing and allegedly “assaulting” each other to which point the police had to arrive and we all had to leave. Absolutely awful. Everyone had to listen to you shouting and swearing at each other and then be told to get out of the pub. The 3 lovely young waitresses were so shocked and embarrassed I felt the need to reassure them that this isn’t acceptable from their employers. I will not be returning.

Visited the Oak today Sunday 15th September, sat in the garden to look forward to a lovely family Sunday roast. 15 mins into having a drink in the garden and a family fight broke out in the kitchen.... Police called and everyone asked to leave the pud. Luckily we hadn't ordered but felt for the families who had just started to eat their food and asked to leave mid way through. Disgraceful

We use trip advisor customer feedback regularly to help us decide where to dine and as we both fancied gourmet burgers we decided to visit the Royal Oak on a summers evening. We both opted for the Stilton Burger. When our food turned up we looked at each other as the chips were such a small portion we thought they must of ran out and when tasted they were just like the nasty chips you would buy from a low cost supermarket. The burgers were totally ruined by far too much Stilton as that’s all you could taste. The bottom half of the bun was stale and the meals looked nothing like photos posted on website. Perhaps a stand in chef , run out of produce or a bad day but we won’t be returning. Poor value for money and terrible quality. The poster on the outside of the public house stating hidden gem wants to be changed in our opinion to there’s a reason why we are hidden.

Warm welcome, we go to the royal oak quite often. I had the steak and ale pie very disappointed know chunk of meat all little pieces.

We were camping nearby and searched nearby pubs online and on Trip Advisor and settled on this - we were so glad we did! Lovely welcome from the lady behind the bar. We ordered drinks and sat outside to look at the menus. Really nice garden with play area and we were joined by Alpacas, sheep and goats in the field behind, which my children loved. Lots of choice on the menu and everything we ordered was delicious. If we were in the area again we would definitely return.

As always, great service with friendly banter. 5 x roasts which were all good, lamb not quite as good as usual. Leftovers boxed up for dog, Thankyou so much for that! See you soon.
