What a great little pub. We went for an early family Christmas dinner and the food was great. The pub is very dog friendly which is the best, the people were lovely and we even got to enjoy a nice open fire in the evening. Will be returning!

This is everything you want a pub to be, the people, the staff, the food and the dogs! It’s so lovely how welcome absolutely everyone is! We had dinner here and the lasagne was delicious , in fact it’s the second time we’ve been in the last month! This dog friendly, warm and wonderful local is a must visit !!

Absolute gem of a pub. Friendly, welcoming staff and our food was superb. I had gammon eggs and chips and it couldn't have been better. One of, if not the best pub meals we've had in Kington. Will be back for more.

I was in the only single room available. I had to keep the bathroom door open because my knee don't fit. The douche gel was not restored the second and third day. On the bright side the wonderful breakfast, either the continental and the English. The room was nice, enough space for one person and the bed hard but not too much.

Myself and a friend this evening ate the best battered Brie with chilli sauce to start. The batter was so fresh. To follow as mains she had battered cod and chips, once again the batter was freshly made there and then with beer from the tap. Honestly it’s the best Fish & Chips I’ve ever had!! I had pork medallions in a mustard white sauce with new potatoes and broccoli which was divine. Potatoes and broccoli perfectly cooked, and the meat was so succulent and the sauce complimented it all. Exquisite 👌. We’ll be back, plus service with a genuine smile and customer service of the highest level - 11 out of 10 🌟

What a fabulous place for a stop off on offas dyke walk. We couldn’t have received a warmer welcome from the fabulous bar maid. Whilst they weren’t serving food when we arrived we were actively encouraged to bring in a takeaway (menus/plates/cutlery provided at the pub). This place has a real community feel, with lots of friendly locals you get an instant feel of being part of the family. The accommodation is basic, but spotlessly clean, with character as it’s a very old building. Great fry up in the morning with thick bacon, delicious sausages and fresh tomatoes. They keep a selection of excellent real ale, a pool table for relaxing after a long walk and we enjoyed a lot of laughter with the owner and staff. Couldn’t recommend more highly for a friendly, clean, comfortable place to rest your head and find new friends :)

What a lovely,welcoming pub!We stopped at Kington for the night on our way to Aberystwyth. My husband and I came for what started out as a couple of drinks ended up staying all night. Real fire burning, locals,staff and other guests where all very welcoming.We learnt the local game quoits.(I won 🙊) And stroked all the lovely pooches in there,Nettle the pub dog was absolutely gorgeous. We played a few games of pool for free.(I lost 🙈) And Gerwyn wrote down some directions for us to go through the Elan Valley (which was breathtaking) also very accurate and found it no problem. Shame we weren’t staying for longer as I would have loved to sample the food. But if ever I am that way again I wouldn’t hesitate to call in. Thankyou everyone for making us feel welcome.

Looks a dump but we thought give it a go, so called on Sunday Evening to book a table and to ask about our well-behaved dogs coming with us to be told no problem! anyhow we changed ready to go out got there and was told we're closed it was 7pm! obviously they felt the need to shut with a pub full of people as they knew their grubby pub and 2nd rate over cooked food wouldn't be to our refined taste!

If I could give it minus then I would!!! What a wierd place this is!! We were staying near by with friends and our 2 well behaved dogs. We rang ahead to ask if they are serving food and can we bring our dogs. The very nice young lady said yes no problem. So we get dressed and head down there. As we are walking across the road to the door, a man is stood behind the glass panel door waving "No" and he'd put put the closed sign up. We could see lots of people inside at the bar so we were really confused! We walked away and never managed to get dinner. At another local place, we explained what had happened and was told that the man that turned us away is really weird and is known for just deciding who comes in! If he doesn't like the look of you! We are professional business people who probably have more class than he's ever known and he clearly has the Intelligence level of a Stone! We said it reminded us of the pub in the film hot fuzz! Anyway Mr weirdo you can keep your pub! It looked scruffy and dingy anyway!!!

We've started using this pub more often lately as they are now serving beers that we really like. While we were in a couple of weeks ago, we saw some other customers having the home made pizzas and they looked fantastic! We decided there and then that we must return and try them for ourselves. Well, they are so good, we've now been back a couple of times already to order them! They have other things on the menu too, but I love pizza and these are just wonderful! Beautiful thin home made base, plentiful toppings, delicious! I'm really glad to be using this pub more regularly now. We've always liked the pub and the people, it was just the beer choice didn't suit us personally, but now it does! It's a really nice, locals pub and we're looking forward to visiting again 😊

I had been communicating with the hotel all week about staying by messenger as their phone wasn't working properly. I had asked if they normally got booked up at weekends at that time of year. I was told no. On the Saturday morning I confirmed I needed a room that night, and should be arriving about 8/9pm. Fortunately I phoned at 8.30pm to check that they did have a room available, and someone answered. They told me that they had no rooms. I was told they didn't have time to check their messages. If your phones are being unreliable you should be checking your messages, especially as I had been told to book that way. So at 8.30 pm on a Saturday night I had nowhere to stay and was possibly looking at spending a very cold night in my car. Fortunately I did manage to find somewhere else.

The Royal Oak is an authentic local pub. You won't find scented candles and stripped wood floors but you will find very friendly publicans and locals too, with great service and good food (ham off the bone and a real home made burger) in a dog friendly environment. They even gave us some great tips for places to go off the beaten track. Best night of our holiday and we will definitely be returning.

This was my second visit to the pub for a meal. The menu choice is very limited but I’d guess most would find something they like. I chose a homemade burger and asked for it to be well done. The food arrived, there was about 6 chips on our plate and I’m not exaggerating. The burger was ok to begin with but after a couple of bites, the meat turned pink. 🤢 I couldn’t continue with it. I regret not saying anything to the staff and also asking where the rest of the chips are. We visit relatives in Kington very regularly but we definitely won’t be having a meal at this establishment again.

Absolutely abysmal! I've lived here for 10 years and always heard the food was good. So, we decided to go here for Sunday lunch. On arrival we were greeted by the owner of the pub who wasn't friendly at all, quite rude in fact. Told us we should have the track and trace app so they don't have to write a name and number down. We were the only customers at this point. The 'carvery' was cold, soggy cabbage and overcooked carrots. The plates weren't even warmed up, this is when pubs were opened back up just after covid restrictions were lifted to outside eating only. By the time we sat down outside in the pub garden (and I use that term very loosely) the food was cold. Our pint was actually warmer than the food. We were one of two tables eating, not exactly busy. I asked for the dessert menu, I was told by the female chef that she hadn't had time to make any desserts. I understand that at peak times, this would be particularly difficult to carry through, but you can't offer a pub lunch without a dessert menu. Perhaps I've just been too spoilt by the other amazing pubs round this area. Would not recommend, plenty of nicer pubs around.

La semana pasada estaba en Kingston y cenamos en el restaurante del Royal Sawadee Roble. Como ha señalado un crítico anterior, el restaurante le hace falta un poco de ambiente pero mi bondad, la comida lo compensa. Éramos 5 en el grupo y elegimos una bastante amplia variedad de artículos desde el menú, (entrantes y platos principales). Todo estaba recién preparado a un nivel muy alto y los sabores eran magníficas. El servicio era muy acogedor y amable y el costo de las comidas era muy por debajo de lo que efectúa en la ciudad en la que vivo. Así que, si estás en o cerca de Kingston, te recomiendo que pruebes.

We were quite happy to sit at the bar at The Royal Oak in the adjoining pub for a drink. Pub was v busy too and had a friendly atmosphere. Good Thai food cooked from fresh by Alan's wife and assisted by their son. Pad Thai and green curry were both very good. As we were the last to leave we had a nice chat with Alan.

This is a real 'local', with a good choice of ales, oak beams, and hearty meals (mostly with chips). This is not sophisticated, but it's friendly, clean, with good standard food and, when we went, an open fire. We had a burger with strips of rump steak, onions, red peppers and hot cheese in a ciabatta, with chips. Filling, with large portions, and nice chips. If you're looking for fine dining, probably not for you, but if you want a drink and a chat, or good, standard pub grub, this is fine. Dogs welcome.

5 of us booked & preordered our meals as there were a group booked in before us. Our starters were nothing special but we thought our mail meals would be better. We got that totally wrong. The lasagne was thick and stodgy with no juice at all, managed to eat less than a third. The topping had a texture of mashed potato with a lump of cheese laid on top. The mini quiche were rubbery with a large gap between the pasrty & topping (they had to be reminded that chips were ordered to go with it) The steak which was ordered medium was so well done & tough & the rice to go with the meatballs was out of a microwave packet. We will not be going back for food but it is a dog friendly place & the young chap who runs the bar is great so we would return for drinks only.

Friendly chatty customers. Great manager. Good food. We enjoyed our time in the bar area. When we moved to the dining room and ordered dinner, the service was very slow.

Three of us ate here last week and we all enjoyed what we had.( Gammon and chips, Thai curry, and scampi ) It was all very well cooked. Wine was £14 a bottle. Total bill for 3 £53. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The menu is quite extensive and varying nationality food, which always worries me, but we had no complaints.

Meals took a while to arrive ( a busy time) but it was worth the wait. Good value, tasty and well presented plates. Our vegetarian options was especially good. I'd be happy to return.

Only had a drink so can't say how good the food is, friendly service but seriously need to get rid of all the plastic flowers and put the hoover away please. Behind the bar a little messy and a few small DIY jobs could really improve the overall atmosphere.

Very good service from our waitress and pleasant friendly atmosphere. Despite being told the food would be a 40 minute wait, it arrived promptly- very satisfied!
