Royal Oak in Wyre

Had a lovely lunch, good quality food, reasonably priced,

Very slow service Food average Main course Luke warm Would not return Steak overcooked asked M/R came M/W Two double vodka and coke one was £7.15 Second £6.45

We came to the Royal Oak on a busy Saturday due to garstang having a small festival, it was very busy but such an enjoyable experience. We had our baby with us and nothing was too much trouble, we had some food and drinks and all was really lovely and good portions! Louis and Charlotte in particular were very welcoming and polite and everything was brought in good time considering the amount of other people having food and drinks! Definitely visit again soon, thank you!

What a waste of £170 stayed overnight and had dinner there.. well I say Dinner lightly as my husband ordered the Prawn Platter thinking not far from the sea he was going to have lots of fresh prawns and a few large ones too .. NO 1/4 bag of frozen prawns just a Prawn Salad really but with a whole red onion chunks of that is … and then we decided to have a light lite of the Beef Casserole .. it’s not often I’m lost for words but here comes Dinner on SIDE Plates .. 3 pieces of cabbage, 1 Sugarsnap Pea and I chunk of carrot .. with Frozen Chips which we were promised twice fried chips lol maybe once to thaw them out the other to make them so hot they were crunchy .. we paid all in all £42.00 with a point of beer and a cup of tea … I’ve never been served a small meal on a side plate before .. I did say to the waitress it look a bit pathetic and she replied she’d pass that comment on to the chef … I love to see his qualifications lol .. she asked how the onions were my reply was they were bigger than the dinner plate lol .. then off to bed were music kept us awake until midnight and then rude guests banging their doors closed and not just politely shutting them .. so tired today with NO Sleep and £170 down … never again

Had a great meal at this dog friendly pub. The staff were very welcoming and efficient. The beer and wine were both good and reasonably priced. Could not fault the food. I had lamb chops which were excellent and my wife had beef casserole which had plenty of meat and was very tasty. All in all a great experience and we will definitely return and we would thoroughly recommend.

Attended a family wedding and stayed here for 2 nights in October. It was lovely. Above and beyond our expectations. Accommodation very reasonably priced. The beds were so so comfortable and warm - very cosy. The staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble and the food was excellent. Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you.

Lovely meal had with my family yesterday. We ordered the mixed grill, Cumberland sausage and I had the lamb chops. I don't usually eat lamb but fancied something different. Well they were delicious! Staff very friendly (as usual) and attentive. We will be visiting our lovely local again soon!

First time ever in Garstang and just went in for a drink after casing out all the other pubs in the town centre and wanting to be assured of cask ale being available and not having to queue three deep at the bar. We were greeted pleasantly and Unicorn, Dizzy Blonde and Garstang Gold were on offer. All were kept well though I suspect the Gold was the first served for hours as it was a little warm but for only 3.4% ABV tasted good and did not have that distinctive Robinsons twang. We did not eat though observed that people who did enjoyed the food and found the portions generous. The character of the bar has been preserved with the attractive wood panelling and warm but subdued lighting. In short a very pleasant environment for the more mature drinker (no obtrusive piped music) and not bad value either at £4 per pint.

Fantastic food and Dog Friendly

One of the few eating establishments that can actually cater for people aiming to lose weight. Smaller portions available and salads available without dressing. To top it all. None fried or buttery potato option available. My thanks and congratulations!

Three of us came for a belated birthday and an early birthday meal today. We had the best time, lots of laughs, saw some people we haven’t seen in a while and fantastic food. One of us had scampi and it was thoroughly enjoyed, she also had apple pie and custard and said it was the best she’s ever had, no big chunks of apple, another had the burger also enjoyed and I had Gail’s home made chicken madras and oh my god the best curry I’ve ever had. Staff as always excellent. Thank you to Gail and Zoltan for the excellent food. And the wonderful staff. Also had a bit of entertainment when the bus driver couldn’t get through was funny to watch.

Took family members for a meal today and can not fault it. The meal was definitely plentiful thank you chefs 😀(even my grandma enjoyed it and she can be a toughen to please) and the staff (Charlotte, Rachel, Robert and jamie) made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. Would recommend going again next time I'm around garstang 😀

Very friendly staff, dog friendly, lovely rooms 5*

We had the lighter lunches and they were delicious and the perfect size. The ask was well keep and the service was exceptional

Nice food & decent cask beer at time of visit.

Always enjoyed coming to the Royal Oak and eating, however I have been twice recently and the food has been shocking. Think that there must have been a change in ownership.

We visited Garstang today and went into the Royal Oak for lunch. Prices are on a level with any other venue. The place is so warm and welcoming, friendly staff, very helpful and courteous, the food is amazing !!!! It's one place that you must go to. It is like a country pup inside but clean very well kept, and defo worth a visit.

Lovely pub and friendly staff. Excellent service. I had fish and chips. The fish was very fresh. Highly recommend

an amazing hidden gem ..lovely overnight stay with breakfast.. had a fabulous evening meal with lots of drinks and such a brilliant atmosphere 👌 💯 great staff and welcome 🙏

Just had a great meal at the oak , the food was fantastic as usual but I really want to praise the staff Rob Jamie Pip and the barman sorry I didn’t get your name. My wife and I took my my elderly mother for lunch and after we had ordered we had to take her prematurely back to her home . This anywhere else could have been a problem not at the oak the staff where very understanding and just sorted it ,I cannot praise them enough and throughly recommend the place. Well done guys 👍thanks so much.

Excellent food and service big platefuls they managed to overface us would definitely recommend The Royal Oak Garstang.

Family meal tonight was excellent good service very tasty food and large portions managed to overface all of us would strongly recommend the Royal Oak

Foods not worth the money and gets over cooked.Complaint I made about my food was ignored so wont be using again.Over priced rubbish to be honest

Good food, good service good price and great location

Great traditional pub good food and great location

Beautiful staff, lovely environment, great menu choice and delicious roast beef. Really enjoyed it and will be back again to try the other meals. Thank you.

Was excellent under previous owner but really poor since

Four of us came for lunch on Friday, after coming here for at least the last 15 years it was the worst meal I have had .The portions have gone smaller the prices have really gone up and the chips were frozen, hard in the middle the ham warmed up and dry it will be a while before I return,but the staff are still amazing.

I got lamb chops and found them to be very tough to eat, I didn’t complain as I wanted to get out of the Oak as fast as I could.

Dreadfully disappointing. After enjoying 15 years of excellent food and service, place has gone to the dogs. Four of us had different meat dishes which were each almost uncuttable, overcooked , hard and inedible . Cheap cuts, badly cooked, undercooked chips, rock hard pastry. Took an hour to take our order although we were booked in for 1 pm, then some of the order was wrong. When we were asked how everything was, we expressed our disappointment and were immediately offered free puddings or money off the bill. We declined and will NOT be returning . Shame. Much better value to have a well cooked pensioner special at the chippie!!

We did not stay here ,Had another lovely meal Car park good ,The Staff are exceptional so friendly attentive very welcoming Love it here

Found this pub on a drive in the area beautiful pub / hotel n villagd although we weren't ready for food cld see food being brought out to others looks lovely. We just had coffees. Bar man even told me the history of the pub dating back to 1700s was very interesting will def stop there again n maybe a, wee overnight with dinner

Car parking was no problem. Helpful staff. Room was small. Me and my wife stayed there for one night. Shower was electric so was not very powerful. Shower cubicle was small. Toiletries were nice. The evening was noisy (karaoke), but this may not be typical. One hand towel and two bath towels were provided. The room did not have any USB points. Breakfast was included in the price, and was excellent. In summary room was adequate, food great, and value for money was fair.

Called in today for a meal, it was very disappointing, the food is nothing like it used to be, not many staff around.

Good food service and location. Also a nice friendly atmosphere.

Quite small not really suitable for wheelchairs , but had lively food and staff was very friendly

Food and drinks were very good, the staff friendly and and polite.

We stayed here on our way from the north of Scotland to Gloucestershire. Found the place from the CAMRA website and what a find it was. Great choice of beer, wonderful food from an extensive menu and superb service from friendly staff. Very comfortable rooms with great shower room. Parking on-site. Breakfast was also excellent with a wide choice from which to choose. Charlotte, who looked after us for breakfast was really lovely and made the start to the day much more pleasant. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to stay again on our way back home. Again a wonderful night. It would certainly be our "local" if we lived in the area.

Service was fantastic the meal we had was amazing cannot fault it

Well over 25 yrs since last in lovely waitress drinks order food ordered chicken and peppercorn sauce well never seen so much pepper corns ! Unfortunately not eatable veg just a bout cooked steak pie steak was lovely lid solid as a rock could not eat feel it's gone down hill new owners mm need to get a reality check other tables had left lids & veg so it wasn't just us! Might be another 25years

Food tasty , beer good , Isaac looked after us well ..... didn't need to go to the bar , well looked after , great service and warm welcome.

We went for a meal last night and the food and service were fantastic. As a Garstang local who eats out a lot, this is the best place to go for food. Couldn’t fault a thing. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Having been a very regular visitor for about 15 years, I recently went for the first time since Lorraine sadly retired and unfortunately things have gone downhill. I normally have the 'specials board' pie, which was always a decent slice of a large pie with plenty of filling, lovely shortcrust pastry and a nice sauce. The veg had a bit of butter on them and the chips were lovely. This time the pie was an individual portion in a small dish with a lid of sorry pastry, it only contained a few pieces of chicken in a green sludge (leek?) and all I could taste was pepper. The veg were drab and the chips were worse than usual. After several requests my 'brown roll' arrived (without butter?) - the small dry end of a baguette, not the usual soft roll, so I queried the bread change and asked for some butter and a bit more bread. When it was brought I was told that they now make their own bread (instead of buying from Booths) and I was lucky as I hadn't paid for a roll - wow! I thought the £16.25 I had paid included my usual roll as I've never paid that much before, so they've clearly increased their prices as well as offering a vastly inferior product. I dread to think what they charge for a roll now. The only thing unchanged was the butter, when I eventually got some! Sadly Lorraine's 40 years have been ruined in less than 40 days and I just don't understand the changes when it was great before? Giving me a small bit of dry crust and no butter is a joke. Such a great place has been ruined, seemingly all in the name of greed - note the other recent poor reviews. Btw, the lady next to me didn't enjoy her meal either.

Being a very fussy eater only liking chicken, I tried the chicken burger. OMG it was delicious I have to say it’s the best chicken burger I’ve ever had. The batter was light, the chicken was tender it was delicious and the rest of the plate was too. My husband had fish and chips he said that too was delicious, Again the batter was light and the fish so fresh and tender. We’ve tried to get back so many times but our work hours don’t allow it. Definitely recommended in this house.

Visited the Royal Oak yesterday with a good friend to order lunch, which had come highly recommended. Upon entering we found a table and sat down. I approached the young barmaid to request the Wi-Fi password. I politely said “excuse me do you have the Wi-Fi password?” All said with a smile, the girls response was “do you have the magic word?” In shock I replied “please?” to which her response was, that’s better! In complete bewilderment and feeling like a naughty child who definitely wasn’t getting pudding, we continued to order. Ribs with salad and slaw, Soup of the day (mushroom), and Garlic Mushrooms. The ribs arrived with no salad and a thimble of slaw, mushroom soup replaced for onion. All delivered by a disheveled waiter dressed in a soiled T-shirt and a stained dress jacket carrying our plates with a dirty tea towel. Food was below par and for what it was, pricey. Very disappointed and hope the landlord/lady can work on this to bring this otherwise lovely pub up to scratch.

We have been coming here for many years, never had anything to fault. The hospitality to the food has always been brilliant. The standard of the food is not the same although the menu is the same. The sandwiches weren’t full and wholesome like usual and the chips had no taste to them. Plate swimming in gravy that was greasy and tasteless, vegetables like mush and lacking any taste. We have never had any complaints here and feel deeply saddened that this was our recent experience. I hope this is just a few teething problems as this is one of our favourite places to visit. We did enjoy the table service.

Visited today.Ordered shoulder of lamb.This is one of my favourite meals at Royal Oak. Lamb normally served with fluffy mash and crisps vegetables and small amount of thick gravy.Unfortunately this was not the case today.The lamb and veg came absolutely swimming in watery gravy and the mash was one solid scoop.Very disappointing.

I have going to the Royal Oak for 23 years now . I have always loved it My fave waitress is Charlotte and my fave waiter is Louis ! They are fab . Stuart the new landlord is very caring about maintaining the high standard of the pub itself ! We keep coming because of the inherent good quality of food and ambience ! Jamie is very cool also ! He always checks to ensure that every customer is satisfied .

Sad Lorraine has gone. Bring back home made chips 👍 probably won’t visit again. We waited an hour and 10 minutes for our food which tbf is unacceptable.

Large group of us . I had prawn cocktail (£9.50 - which I thought was quite expensive ) roast beef & pavlova . The savoury food was nice - pavlova wasn’t - just mush with cream , not a slice of meringue or meringue nest - other desserts looked ok tho . First time I’ve eaten here. Was ok for a Sunday roast - probably wouldn’t try again tho . Pub was busy throughout our few hours there so is obviously popular.

Fantastic staff, so friendly and helpful. 4 of us dined here, all had different food, Salmon, lamb chops, fillet steak (steak cooked to perfection), chicken madras. Everyone cleared their plates, lovely home cooked food. Would definatley go back.

it is with great sadness. i write this review as the landlady lorriane is retiring next week . The food as been continuosly exellant and always are favourite weekly meal out .The staff are always friendly and efficient , please new landlord dont change a thing its just perfect the way it is .Happy well deserved. retiremt lorraine

Visited yesterday.We ordered well done lamb chops.They came anything but.My friend does not like a fuss.At end of meal waiter asked if all was good.We said firmly no and why.He said he would tell chef but no further response.I will not be rushing back and hope better from new owners

I'm an occasional (once or twice a year) visitor to Garstang and whenever I come up the first thing my local chum and I do is head to the Royal Oak. It's a proper pub! The Unicorn Bitter is always top-notch, the home-cooked food is delicious and the staff are welcoming. Long may it prosper.

Not only are all vegan options spicy, rendering them not options, but they don't even have an allergen book to ensure any allergic reactions don't happen. Girl at bar naively said they don't need one because "it's all in her head" when questioning on allergens...

Lovely large bedroom, very clean and lots of space, staff lovely, breakfast was amazing ! Proper butchers bacon and sausage , my room with breakfast was £75.00 a total Bargin If this was on three in a bed I would have paid £20 more 😊

Called here for lunch on the 16th February. It was fairly busy but we found a table in a small room connected to the bar. We ordered two sandwiches, our first choice being unavailable/sold out. Food arrived in good time and although perhaps a bit...

Good food and service. Excellent staff. Great location 😄

Just been in for Sunday lunch and the place was busy seating was easy enough and took around 20 mins from ordering . The menu is very good. Had beef and a lamb Sunday lunch both really good and a banoffee pie for dessert which...

We went for a birthday meal. The meal was adequate but I did not feel safe with my allergies as the staff did not seem to take it seriously, soy menu items were limited no chips. I ended up having lamb shank and mash. I think it is targeted at pensioners with soft veggies and menu items. But not price. If you want a traditional meal and don't mind the noise and bussel this is a great place. All the locals always recommend the Oak and the owner is quite renowned. There is a small car park. The staff are young and not seasoned so seems quite rude. I would recommend for a wholesome meal, but not a favourite of mine. Too noise, and lackluster menu offerings with limited understanding of allergens and customer service.

Great little pub full of local characters. The food was spot on. Chef went out of his way to add more heat to my dish. It was very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. Worth a return visit

The best food and beer around.Nowhere else comes anywhere near

Regular Friday evening meal 😋 definitely a good place to eat. Food excellent and service could not be any better. The staff are friendly and their service excellent

Had a lovely lunch, good home cooked food, been a few times, never been disappointed.

My friends and I had lunch at the Royal Oak, the staff were friendly and pub atmosphere was great. We all got excellent food served quickly but my beef sandwich was absolutely perfect and quite possibly the best I’ve ever tasted. The bread was fresh,...

Nice pub, food was excellent, but the service was a bit hit and miss. I liked it though and will be back.

Great traditional pub. We visited with friends after the Christmas lights switch on. Very busy but managed to find a table. Despite it being busy food served pretty quick. I had gammon & eggs - spot on, good portion freshly cooked with great veg on...

We had a meal with friends and were very impressed with both the quality and the prices here. The pub was busy but the restaurant rooms were relaxed and service was very good. The menu offered a lot of choice and the home made options...

We chose this venue based on the Trip Advisor reviews while we were staying at Garstang for the weekend. We were fortunate to get a table on arrival as it is clearly very popular and many tables were reserved or occupied. A varied menu and...

I stayed here for three nights and everything about my stay was perfect. The room was very comfortable and warm and everything was spotless. The ensuite bathroom had everything well positioned and was also spotless. There was plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space along with...

This is the second time we have eaten here and both times the meals have been excellent and great value for money. The staff are really welcoming and helpful. We would recommend the salmon, generous portion and great price!

We have been here a few times for lunch and always excellent and fairly priced. I am getting a name as the Haddock man as I always have the fish and chips as to my mind the best sit-in fish and chips anywhere, cooked to...

The Royal Oak is welcoming, individual, characterful but far from pretentious. A sunday feast shared with precious friends. Food was great, locally sourced and served piping hot from the kitchen with outstanding customer service in fact, exceptional service! A hidden gem in Garstang and highly...

Stayed for 3 nights it was fantastic The meals were great Bedrooms luvly and clean Staff were great and very polite especially the you girl who looked after us in restaurant

After plenty of recommendations from friends - my wife and I decided it was time to try out the Royal Oak ! My wife called Sunday morning and spoke to a young worker called Charlotte who’s service was simply impeccable from start to finish. She...

Monday lunch visit. I had ploughman’s, big portion, lovely cheese & presentation is superb. Staff always friendly & helpful. Lots of seating out the front & a bit more in the car park which is a bit more shaded on a hot day.

We have visited twice in the last month and the food is superb both in quality, value and quantity. There was an amazing choice too. I had Mediterranean Beef Pie and the second time Hake in Chef's sauce and they were gorgeous. My daughter had a lovely piece of trout and my friend had venison. They were all served with a good selection of vegetables too. We were all really pleased with the food. I wish we lived more locally so we could go more often.

We both ordered Roast Lamb lunch and can honestly say that the meat was cooked to perfection. Adequate portions of vegetables and the whole meal was served piping hot. Lovely staff, helpful and eager to please. Cannot recommend highly enough and we will see you next Sunday for an encore!!

So good ! Visiting Garstang for the day we tried a few other pubs and walked out , the Royal Oak was just right; friendly , accommodating , ale at the right temperature and great food. Very happy !

Food was fantastic,piping hot and a good portion size,supper was lovely as was breakfast,staff were very accommodating and pleasant,good manners. The beer was great,only 1 thing though,poached egg,my other half loves his runny and he is picky,it wasn’t hard but not soft either,just one of those things,thanks for a great stay,will return

Lunch time visit in the outdoor seating, enjoying the sun. I had ploughman’s, absolutely spot on, mega portion with some lovely cheese, brilliant dish. My wife had tuna sandwich & chips which she really enjoyed too & commented on the amount of filling in the sandwich. There is also small amount of seating at the rear. It’s a real pub, serving really good homemade food. Staff really lovely too. On the whole it’s impossible to fault.

Never ever had a sandwich so well packed, it was huge! Ordered a bowl of chips too Which were lovely, such a lovely lunch time experience 10/10 !

I spent the night here and had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Hospitality was excellent, even though the staff were rushed off their feet on Saturday evening. I had the fish and chips for dinner, which were excellent - a generous portion, with light...

We love this pub, it has the old style feel , great hospitality & excellent food. Lots of smaller rooms to dine as well as dedicated restaurant.

Had a family meal at the oak today standard of food was excellent both starters Christmas lunch all served well very hot and tasted delicious as always excellent standard staff warm and friendly couldn’t fault anything thank you Lorraine and staff will definitely return

We booked in here for a family lunch. Everything was very impressive. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. The main course menu is not super long and is fairly standard English pub fayre but without exception all the food choices we ordered were excellent...

We have visited the Royal Oak multiple times with different people and always had a lovely time. Every member of staff is inviting, knowledgable and friendly they really can’t do enough for you. But unfortunately, the land lady seems to have a problem. When we...

We came away for the night to see friends. They were already stopping. We met in the Afternoon and grabbed a table because we were eating. Glad we did as most of it was booked (Saturday) and it got busy. The staff was so friendly....

Lovely selection of meals at reasonable prices. Excellent service and sizeable portions. Nice pub too. Worth a visit for lunch if you're in the area.

Good traditional pub serving well cooked pub food pleasant and efficient service in a comfortable setting

Wonderful freshly cooked food. Very good service Can definitely recommend and we'll worth a visit. Best steak and kidney pie I have had in a long time

Excellent. We arrived without a booking asked how long the wait was with food before ordering. 30 -45 min wait. We didn’t mind because we was happy to wait while having a few drinks. The food was excellent homemade mash proper fresh vegetables not frozen...

First time visit, wife and myself. Service was brilliant and attentive. Never had to wait long for anything. And given that we were in the middle of the August heatwave, the kitchen staff deserve a big medal. We had starter, main and sweet. All food...

What a gem of a place! Mum has been once before with friends and really rates it, especially as you can have smaller portions!! Quite old-fashioned decor but it makes it a quaint, traditional pub. Service by the staff was so friendly (if not a...

Awful from the start. We booke d a table only to be told someone had taken it. We told them when we booked it was for an anniversary meal. The place was quiet busy and they struggled to find us a table. Eventually we agreed...

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights on a b&b basis. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was fabulous, a good choice and cooked to order. We also ate in the restaurant during our stay; I would highly recommend...

A family meal for six. Not been in a while and this Saturday evening the food was as good as ever, but noticeably the quality of service was vastly improved. It was nice to be sat at a round table so that we could interact...

My partner and I adore the Royal Oak ! It’s our fave place . I’ve been coming here for 20 years now , first with my parents . Lorraine is lovely , as is Charlotte (lovely smile ) Philippa is great too and the food...

Absolutely the best food in Garstang, wonderful waitress Charlotte, completely knew the menu inside out, friendly and smiley. 2 x fillet steak with totally different sides/options. Absolutely no better place to eat in Garstang.

Love this pub. Great friendly staff. Only had drinks on this occasion. Smack bang in the town centre with some outdoor seating. Pool table in rear as well.
