I enjoyed a nice meal here on a Tuesday evening. Plenty of space and very friendly staff.

Down from Norwich visiting our daughter decided to go out for a meal and chose the Royal Oak which we had visited on numerous occasions when living nearby. We had a warm friendly welcome and as the restaurant was fully booked we were offered a table in the bar, which was fine. Drinks and food ordered. We waited about 10/15 mins for our starter which we throughly enjoyed. Followed by our hearty dinners with no complaints. Service with a smile at all times by Danni, Steph and Hayley.

Shocking Service and Hostile Attitude I visited The Royal Oak in Farnham Common today with my family, and I am appalled by the experience. The pub was completely empty, yet we were met by an older lady whose attitude was downright hostile. She clearly has no understanding of basic customer service. I was with my two children, one of whom is autistic, and requested to sit on a bench-style table for ease and comfort. Her response? A flat-out no with a patronizing explanation that only four people could sit there—even though the space could easily accommodate five, especially as two of us were kids. This was nothing short of unnecessary and unreasonable. Her tone and behavior were sickening and made us feel completely unwelcome. As an Asian family, the treatment we received felt laced with prejudice. Her attitude reeked of discrimination, and I honestly felt that we were being judged from the moment we walked in. We left immediately and went elsewhere, as there was no way we were going to tolerate such appalling treatment. To the management: if this is the kind of person representing your business, you need to take a serious look at who you employ. It was one of the most unpleasant experiences we’ve ever had at a pub.

Een fijne plek om wat te eten. Honden mogen mee naar binnen, voor ons heel belangrijk :) Even wennen dat je aan de bar moet gaan bestellen. Owja, een grote cola is ook echt een grote cola (halve liter). We hadden een vega gerecht. De kaart is voornamelijk voor vlees eters, maar er staan wel wat vega gerechten op. Dik in orde. Het was heel mooi opgediend, zag er heel goed uit en smaakte ook nog eens heel erg lekker. De portie was ook groot genoeg. Er zijn gratis parkeerplekken voor de deur. We waren zelf eerst gaan wandelen in Burnham Beeches. een aanrader ! Daarna is het nog een stukje naar de Royal Oak, uiteraard kun je dat ook met de auto doen. Het personeel is vriendelijk en de bediening gaat redelijk vlot. Binnen is het ook netjes. Het was er best wel druk. Het geheel is verdeeld in 2 delen. Het voorste deel waar je "in de pub"zit en waar je de hond mee mag nemen. En de andere kant is het wat "sjiekere" deel. Ruim voldoende om na het wandelen iets te eten. Fijne plek

I have friends who live nearby, since the Royal Oak is on a bus route it is convenient for us to get together here. I can say every time we eat here I am impressed, the warmth of the greeting, the atmosphere, the layout all makes your visit a pleasure. On this occasion we were welcomed by Danni who showed us to our table and brought us our drinks - as usual a varied selection of beers and wines were available. Nayel then joined Danni and gave us the menu and specials, also remarking a party of 10 would be arriving so it could make sense to place our orders soon - no problems with this, we all seemed to know exactly what we wanted! Our food arrived and we were asked if we needed any sauces or other condiments, all that was asked for was some vinegar (chips were on one of the meals!) -this appeared almost instantly. During the main course both Danni and Nayel politely checked that all was good, was the food as we wanted - of course it was so we complimented the (new) chef. We finished our main course and ever attentive Nayel cleared the plates asking if we wanted any desert? Two of us had desert (again excellent) whilst one decided on a cappuccino instead, joking 'please bring plenty of sugar', she does have an exceedingly sweet tooth! At the end of our meal whilst clearing the plates we chatted with Nayel saying how much we had enjoyed our lunch. The bill arrived, again what we had expected, we paid this ensuring a suitable gratuity was given in appreciation of the service we had. All in all a totally happy time was had by all.

**Disappointed and Unwelcome** I've been to The Royal Oak a few times with my family, and while we’ve always enjoyed the atmosphere, our most recent visit left us feeling deeply disappointed. Unfortunately, it wasn't just the food that fell short this time; the way we were treated by a particular member of staff was truly disheartening. As a family with young children, we understand that kids can be a bit energetic at times, but it's nothing unusual for a family-friendly establishment. However, this staff member seemed to have little understanding or patience for that. What made it even more concerning was that on previous visits, we’ve seen the same person be completely fine with other families and their children. The only noticeable difference between us and them was my Indian heritage, which left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. The food, too, was not up to the standard we've come to expect. What was once an enjoyable meal was now dry and lackluster, and the overall experience felt like a far cry from the pub we used to look forward to visiting. I would hope that The Royal Oak can address these issues—both in terms of the food and the way their staff treats all customers equally. Until then, I'm not sure we'll be coming back anytime soon.

This is quite the place to go if you are anywhere near. We will certainly be back.

Tomato soup was delicious with a generous portion of bread and herby butter. Halloumi fries and Cottage Pie Croquettes were also very good. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 was the distance from the garden to the bar for ordering, there was a door in via the restaurant area but this was closed. To be fair, I didn't ask if it could have been opened at the time.

Where a past Saturday I parked there and had a breakfast at the Toby Inn, though forgot to register my car where then I got a subsequent ticket. The member of staff I spoke with was very helpful and efficient to which was much appreciated. In getting the ticket cancelled he clearly is asset to the company!

After a long absence, I've twice returned to this old favourite. The website enticingly says "We think it's what an English pub should be, with 5 real ales on draft". On both visits there was only one on offer, which twice turned out to be poor tasting and cloudy (Rebellion Smuggler should be clear). On the latest visit, while pulling my pint, the barmaid poured the contents of the trip tray into the glass. When challenged, she shrugged, saying "It's what we do here". While the building and bar area remain attractive, some of the tables and chairs seem to have been downgraded. One of the two bar stools felt dangerously wobbly, the brace struts having been removed or broken off. There are several pubs within 10 minutes drive offering a good range of draft real ales, which are well kept, well served and good tasting For the time being I prefer to use those instead - and save myself up to £2 a pint in the process. Sadly, no longer "what an English pub should be" for beer drinkers at least. This is not the Green Man pub of the past.

They refused to serve me a glass of water so I could take my medication when I was having a medical emergency . They said I'd have to buy a bottle of water instead. Server seemed more bothered by my interrupting her chatting than the fact I needed help. I've bought from them before but never will again after this.
