Excellent quiz at the Royal Oak on Wednesday evenings. Kaileigh, the quiz organiser is fun and first class. I am regular pub quizzer and Kaileigh’s is up there with the best. Together with good quality food and great service, the Royal Oak is a fab night out.

Had a superb roast dinner last Sunday. We went around 6 30pm and were really pleased with the quality of the food especially after a busy afternoon. Really glad the consistency was there for us. The service by Lexi,Mia and Halli was top notch and Dale the manager makes the pub a warm and welcoming place to dine. Thank you

As a group, for the last 18 months the 6 of us, choose a different venue each month, to have a meal and let our hair down. I have to say that so far the Royal Oak is the best one yet. Last night we had an absolutely brilliant evening. The staff were welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. The food was wonderful. As you can imagine we have quite a variety of tastes at the table. I personally highly recommend the calamari starter, but the garlic mushrooms also looked amazing. I then had the steak & ale pie for main, but, also on the table we had sirloin steak, salmon, gammon and lamb shanks, everyone enjoyed their selection, absolutely perfectly presented and prepared. There was so much choice for dessert, but I just couldn’t resist the mini Eton mess and of course we all had to have an Irish coffee to finish the evening. We were all pleasantly surprised when the bill came. Thank you so much (I’m warning you now, we will be back 😉)

Brought two friends from Wales here for lunch on 11th January. My friends had the salmon and the beef and ale pie which they said was very nice. Myself and my wife had hunter’s chicken and chicken in a basket, both the hunters chicken and the chicken in a basket were the worst meals we had ever had. The chicken was so dried up it was like eating a bit of cardboard I have had hunter’s chicken from other outlets which are cheaper and the chicken was moist and succulent. I only came here on the reviews, will not be coming again.
