I recently visited The Royal Oak in Gloucester with my family, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the incredibly friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a family gathering. I decided to try the mixed grill, and it did not disappoint. The selection of meats was cooked to perfection—tender, flavourful, and served with delicious sides. My family also loved their meals, and we were all impressed by the variety on the menu catering to different tastes. What truly made our visit memorable was the outstanding service. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring we had everything we needed and even engaging in friendly conversation that added a personal touch to our dining experience. Overall, The Royal Oak offers a delightful combination of excellent food, a cozy atmosphere, and top-notch hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to dine in Gloucester. I would definitely return!

Ask them to put the rugby on but instead it's championship football and a naff singer. You'd think this was Gloucestershire a rugby county but no. Sticky tables and minging toilets with prices you might as well pay in town with some sport options

7.99 each for breakfast paid extra for toast, I have given 4 stars as the beans were not hot enough, you get 6 mushrooms which were small and shrivelled. 3 breakfasts added extras were 3 toast, 2 eggs and a sausage on others plates non refill tea, latte and coke £40! Other hungry horse establishments food is far better The girl who served us with red hair is wasted there, her customer service is outstanding. The pic is of the standard breakfast with toast as extra

The service that me and my partner received was next to nill. It was the worst experience I've ever had in hospitality I'm a very reputable chef and have just finished catering for Boeing at the Farnborough air show then York races I decided to visit your venue as I'd worked an 100 hour week and thought it would be nice for someone else to cook for me for a change. Me personally as a chef would pull the menu item rather than replace an item that isn't and like for like match on the menu and inform front of house and remove said item from the till I'm sure you'll be aware of Natasha law and menu substitutes and they need to be adhered to by law. Such shady practice can't be let to continue within the industry The bathroom facilities were abysmal to say the least.

Had a fantastic experience whilst out for a small family dinner. Was greeted and served by Kim who was bubbly and friendly throughout and made it seem like no requests were too much as my children changed their minds and wanted straws. Despite the venue being busy we didn't appear to wait too long for our food to arrive and they ensured the childrens food was brought out before the adults food. All meals were good quality and very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this place for service, food and value for money

Very short staffed, took over an hour for the food to be served even though most of it had obviously been on a hot plate for over half an hour meaning the food was cold and dry. The ‘sizzler’ dishes weren’t sizzling! The staff were doing their best but the management need an urgent review of how they run this pub. I won’t be going back anytime soon, compared to other Hungry Horse pubs the food was like from a different menu. Just been back 7 months later and what a change! Quick service, food hot and tested nice. Will give this 4 stars now and go back to have other menu options and consider giving 5 stars.

Went for an evening meal. As it was Thursday we opted for the free starter deal. Due to a mess up on the till we got the wrong meal (the same item appears twice on the menu in 2 different categories). We paid with vouchers, which means that we only pay for drinks. During the meal it became clear that the wrong menu item had been selected at the till. This meant that we had been overcharged. We were offered a " free" pudding to take away, which we accepted. The place was unlike others in the chain. It was more like a social club than a pub.

First time I’ve been in the “Oak” for a while and chose what I thought would be a quiet Wednesday. Place was packed and we were lucky to get a table. No real wait on food out and really good. Staff very friendly. The one young waiting staff girl (short, black hair, may have had a foreign accent) who was working really hard all shift even tempted us to have some desserts. Great stuff. Massively better than a lot of chain pubs I’ve visited. Will be back in the future!

Table booked for Sunday 1pm Booked for a family lunch. I wasn’t expecting much as been told it wasn’t a particularly “smart” place. I had Tesco vouchers that needed using up and this was the nearest. Firstly, Booking system all good and reminders sent. I needed to adjust booking and that was all done too. Communication great. Additional person added and table was all ready when we arrived. Secondly, first impressions - Decor was modern and fresh. Atmosphere ok, the football was on big screen but didn’t hinder meal. Six adult meals ordered at a total of £61. Thought this was great value. Drinks also well Priced - G&T about £3! Food arrived really quickly after ordering - and good amount of food. Steaks cooked well, although one ordered for rare was a bit over cooked for my son, but he ate it all anyway! Staff checked if we had everything we needed and checked that food was ok. All of us too full for dessert! Particular mention to the steak and ruddles pie , it looked good and was enjoyed by recipient. In all I was pleasantly surprised by The Royal Oak. Friendly staff, quick service, nice decor. Well priced meals and drinks and apparently some some parts are dog friendly - so will definitely return on a dog walk next time! A nice little pub!

We've eaten here before and it's been good. Not so today. We ordered a sausage brioche bap and a bacon, sausage and egg brioche bap. For the two plus a water it came to £17.50. I'd have been happy with that if the two meals had arrived with some sort of salad or garnish, but no, bap on bare plate. Both brioche baps were quite stale. The service was good but it was pricey for poor food. Not surprisingly it was empty other than us, on a busy Wednesday lunchtime in a prime spot in the centre of Gloucester.

A good old get together with pals and use of the skittles Alley. The buffet was truly impressive whilst unfortunately almost every beer I tried tasted not so fresh. Staff were polite but they knew the pipes weren’t great. It was awkward. Nice people, nice food beer not so great. Convenient for the Rugby of course.
