Royal Oak in Pembrokeshire

Nice food, good service, relaxed atmosphere.

Good food at reasonable prices. Prompt service. Great atmosphere especially on Tuesday nights when there is usually a folk music session by a large group of local musicians.

We had another fabulous meal at the Royal Oak on Saturday evening. The meals here are consistently marvelous. The cottage pie especially good! Well staffed at the bar and so we didn't have to wait too long.

Nice quiet pub. Excellent lunch and reasonably priced

Lovely staff Lush food warm inviting atmosphere 😀 its clean and tidy comfortable, would fully recommend

Ordered a takeaway from the bar at 5. 20pm then sat down with a drink to wait . One hour later still no food so enquired at the bar and when the barmaid looked into it I was told the meal had been behind the bar for 30mins.Unbelievably poor service

Lunch time food was fabulous,staff very friendly

great food but the interior is utterly terrible

They do a excellent curry. Be aware they are not for the faint hearted. Lovely pub.

Proper pub serving good food and in large portions

Enjoyed food etc no dogs allowed unless outside.

Superb food, friendly staff, reasonable price .

Cannot give any rating as on arrival we were told that the pub only let dogs in garden and not in pub as they had carpets,this to me is not dog friendly, as advertised on Google and thier Web site dogs allowed, look a loverly pub and food looked stunning on website I think we all missed out

Excellent food great to have a different type of curry and my wife enjoyed her traditional seafood. Of

Brilliant food, partly curry, reasonable prices too. Try it

Last resort on a late evening. So pleased with the proprietor, who was so welcoming and checked with the chef as to whether it was too late. We did not feel hurried, and the food was great.

Excellent staff very accommodating. Good pub grub sort of place and very reasonable. Would go again

We ate here on Thursday evening and despite a little wait for the food, due to them being very busy, it was well worth it, delicious food, proper plate fulls, great portion sizes. 2 x adults and 2 x children very well fed. 👍 Definitely recommend.

A lovely cosy little pub with great food, big portions and friendly staff.

I simply cannot understand, how I’ve had to wait 2 hours for a starter that could have been made in 10 minutes in the air fryer. The only positive of my trip, was the 1 week new waiter that was running around serving us to the best of his ability. Salty crab, salty lamb, salty chicken. Should have had the curry.

food not great, and got a few orders wrong dispite pre-ordering.

Popped in on a busy Sunday,I asked if they could fit me in for a Sunday lunch ( I hadn't booked) they found me a table ,I had the roast lamb it was delicious, with an apple crumble and custard to follow, again delicious 😋, friendly staff, well done 👍

It’s the second time visiting this pub. Lovely place and good selection of drink and food. For us though it’s Alison who works there had us coming back. She’s definitely an asset to the pub and great company ❤️

We visited today for a Sunday lunch, it was very busy but we were quickly shown a table. We ordered & paid for our drinks and meals & waited.....& waited. There was no indication from the staff of how long the waiting time was.... However when our meals arrived they were lovely, we decided to order a dessert, but for the price the portions were tiny. If the kitchen can't keep up with the orders coming through then communicate with your front of house staff who can then keep customers informed & maybe explain the waiting time when guests wish to order meals. I would like to commend Alison, this lady was here, there & everywhere, sorting takeaway mix ups, calming waiting guests, serving both food & drinks & clearing tables. The other lady too (sorry didn't get your name) was busy serving drinks & keeping the bar area clean, as for the two young lads we saw.....come on at least smile while delivering food & pick up the pace a little. Being in hospitality myself I know communication is the key to a smooth shift, remember happy staff, happy customers! Thank You, we will be back!!

Happened upon this pub while travelling, serving food all day; simple menu, really nicely served and presented, very tasty. Family friendly, our two littles were very happy and shared an adults jacket potato and beans. Without asking they brought out two little bowls and spoons. High chair was actually good, safe and usable. Pub clean, fresh and a nice place to eat . Big carpark at rear. Also noticed they had pancakes on their menu (lemon and sugar or syrup) for pudding which is a nice simple change from the norm.

I chanced upon this lovely little place after getting incredibly wet on my motorbike tour of Wales. I was in need of a friendly face, great service, great coffee and great food and I got all four. The lady behind the bar was very welcoming and helpful. The coffee was great and the food was amazing! What a cracking little place this is.

Very good place very underrated on Google by people who expected 5 star service from a local pub. By the way the food is very tasty, the place is open all day all week when other restaurants are closed. Here lives welsh soul of Newport people, you can hear Welsh language and taste Welsh food. The staff also is very friendly. We stayed in Newport one week and there was no question to try another place for dinner.

Popped in for lunch and pleased we did. Lunch menu looked limited but food was excellent, large portions everything fresh and tasty and excellent value. Lady serving, although busy, was attentive, nothing too much trouble. We will be back.

Great menu, large selection and portions to match. Dog friendly, with friendly staff good atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere in a superb Village pub, Sunday Lunch was served right on time by great staff, at an extremely pocket appreciative cost. Will definitely be revisiting sometime soon. The food was excellent in quality, plentiful in amount and pipping hot, a great experience.

Was in the local area looking at the Burial Chambers. Went into Newport looking for somewhere to eat.( Monday lunchtime) Royal Oak had a board outside "food served all day". Once inside was informed smaller menu, lighter lunch meals. I ordered the whitebait, c/w salad, coleslaw, bread and butter, wife had quiche, c/w salad, chips, coleslaw. Thought not going to be enough for me, so I ordered a side dish of chips. When they brought the food to table I thought that was a mistake ordering the chips. Food was excellent, service was excellent, portions was very big, ( didn't quite eat all the chips) prices was very good, will definitely eat there again if in the area.

Excellent lunch time food value for money large portions nice friendly staff we will be back 👍🌝

Friendly pub with decent food. Plus footie on the telly!

Awesome food and great welcoming atmosphere 😀

Great food and service at this quaint old pub.

Just had a takeaway curry from here - really tasty and generous portions. The chicken and mushroom balti was spicy enough to keep me happy and the king prawn korma was not the normal saccharine goop, but really well flavoured and full of juicy prawns. Very pleasant girl behind the bar. If they let dogs in we would probably eat there most days of our holiday, but quite understand that the no dog rule is probably a bonus for some.

Great meal will definitely be visiting again

Nice pint, pretty pub.. 1st barmaid lovely.. 2nd.. rude and miserable (shame would have scored it a 5 it it hadn't been for her)

Lovely meal as part of Newport Food Festival. Great talk about Carningli Dairy and their brilliant ethos for their farm, animal welfare, the environment and wildlife.

good beer even better food ,lovely lass serving

Best lamb I have ever eat in UK. Lambchops and kwal are recommended. Unforgettable meals. Parking is good, the lamb is delicious, and the Welsh soup is also very good. It is highly recommended!

Fab food and freshly cooked. Didn't look much from outside but service made up for it. Would recommend

Friendly welcome and helpful staff. Serve food until late

Probably the worst curry we have ever had. Every dish was the same and the comments on the menu about not being able to take heat and no refunds where laughable.

We had a group booking there and were surprised with the help of family run place and with their hospitality!

Interesting selection of real ales, varied menu with good portions of tasty food. Friendly, efficient staff.

Excellent food, large portions. Friendly service. Ample parking behind the pub.

Best Sunday roast in Pembrokeshire

We had Curry, it was delicious, nice variety on the menu, nice venue, friendly staff.

Nice and friendly service. We wanted to eat there but went elsewhere as couldn't justify the particularly high price of the food menu there.

Lovely atmosphere and great food.

Extortionate prices, bog standard food. Probably one of the most expensive curries you can buy in Pembrokeshire however the flavour and presentation is ready-meal level. Will suit you if you have more money than sense. You’re better off going to an actual Indian restaurant. Very unsatisfactory.

Delicious Curry, what I now consider an enormous portion after living in Bristol for a few years. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals very much. Friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere.

Lovely food, good service, nice pub

Went in for a takeaway, got told what time to pick it up and then got told its going to be another 10 minutes. Food was nice and hot but two different meals and both tasted like the salt pot fell into the food. I won't be rushing back sorry.

Good service pheasant folk ,good food

Lovely meal, friendly staff, safe environment.

Excellent what more is their to say!

Food good and staff friendly we will definitely go back. Be careful when walking between the tables. The partitions between them has triangular wood at the base and it was a tight squeeze and I banged my foot in it and still have the brain 3 weeks later.

Great local friendly pub. Range of ales slightly limited.

Really good food. I had a lovely lamb curry and my wife, a really nice pair of hake fillets. Both were beautifully cooked The pub was very busy but it took a lille time to get the mess, but this didn't detract from the experience. Very nice and good value. Thanks to the staff, especially the two young waitresses who worked tirelessly up and down from the kitchen.

A great place to eat and drink. Lots of outside seating, helpful staff and a wide selection of drinks.

£70 for a meal not good at all garlic mushrooms as stater old and slimy chips over cooked and fish watery spinach even worse not worth the money at all don’t bother

Food from here is fantastic, Six of us had a meal none of were disappointed well worth the money, So we come back a few days later for a takeaway it was spot on highly recommended

Not the friendliest of welcomes.

Popped in for a drink. Basic but friendly and helpful

Friendly staff. Curry options are good

During a recent holiday close to to Newport we decided to book a Sunday lunch at the Royal Oak.Having pre booked we only had a short wait for our meal.The meal itself was very nice as was the dessert.The waiting staff were great, smiling, pleasant and attending to our needs.We enjoyed our Sunday lunch so much we decided to visit on a further three occasions during our weeks holiday.

Lovely take away. 10 oz rib eye was spit on.

Great pub and the food was delicious!

Brilliant menu , fantastic food and excellent value for money.

Lovely friendly pub, nice outdoor seating area

We booked a table and emailed our order through before arriving. I had called in a little earlier to explain my father had dementia and if they had a quiet space we would be grateful. When we arrived they had given us a complete corner to ourselves and were very friendly and welcoming. It put Dad at ease straight away.We had lamb chops and a sirlion steak, plus a salad. Has to be one of the nices side salds I have had for some while, in fact so big we took some home for the next day. I thought the food was lovely.We picked this pub as it seemed a little more like a proper pub, than the others in the village, we didn't want high class cuisine, just ordinary pub food and this certainly lived up to our expectation.

We recently had a drink in the Royal Oak . The bar staff were so rude and unwelcoming , we asked if they were open as it was very dark and no other customers ,the older lady said what does it look like . A few young men came in who were obviously locals and one of them started playing the piano , we were pleased as it lifted the gloomy atmosphere. The way she spoke to him was apauling if she had spoked to me that way I’d have left immediately. I suggest the lady in question goes on a customer relations course.

Happened to come across this small pub as we wanted to order a curry takeaway. We ended up going every night for drinks or food! Beer great, food fantastic value for money.....but it's the staff that make it. Alison on front of house is absolutely amazing and it made us come back every night! Funny, friendly, accommodating and engaging, she makes this pub! If you are ever in the area please try this pub......the lasagne is a must!!! A proper small local with a lovely local feel. Thank you!

Great atmosphere and staff. Proper local pub and foods a bonus.

Had vegetarian lasagna that was made from carrots and swede. Was absolutely vile.

Big portions of rank food which is massively over priced, service was awful, poor selection of beers, place absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke. Couldn't leave soon enough!

The place seems to do a good trade in take-aways, particularly curries, and I think that is what they should stick to. Having chosen from the menu beforehand as requested under Covid regulations the food was unattractive and tasteless. Not a place I would recommend.

Lovely pub that is also an excellent curry house 👌 Staff have always been fabulous. Plenty of reasons why we keep returning on our trips up West 👍

Lovely beer and lovely service. Parking on site which is hard to find in Newport and a great seating area. Will definitely be returning.

Prydau tecawê rhagorol. Wedi cael 1 lasagne a 1 caws blodfresych noson gyntaf. Dogn enfawr felly pryd nos nesaf rhyngon ni. Eog mewn saws lemwn, sbigoglys wedi'i wneud mewn ffordd arbennig, caws blodfresych, tatws newydd a bara garlleg. Popeth yn flasus iawn. Cymraeg/SaesnegExcellent takeaway meals. Had 1 lasagne first night and 1 cauliflower cheese. Huge portions so next evening meal between us. Salmon in a lemon sauce, spinach made in some special way, cauliflower cheese, new potatoes and garlic bread. All very tasty.

Delicious take away meals from here whilst staying nearby. Huge portions and spinach veg was amazing. Wish I had the recipe. Great service in difficult times. Chips ok but below standard of the rest hence 4 not 5 stars but would def use again Ideally when restaurant reopens

Used a gift voucher for a Sunday Roast take away today .Always have had wonderful take aways here but today's was even better .Diolch yn fawr iawn .

We ordered a takeaway. Beef and lamb madras, chicken balti and korma. The meat was super tender. Generous portion sizes. Expected naan but got chips instead. Would definitely recommend.

Good food, HUGE portions, felt embarrassed sending half a plate of food back. Very friendly staff. Surroundings "tired" plenty of parking! 👍

A friendly little traditional pub. We were soaked and covered in mud from walking the coastal path but landlady was really welcoming. The beer on draft was good. They also do food but we didn’t try anything.

We are on holiday in the area and booked a table at the Royal Oak with our two dogs. I turned up and it became clear that we had arrived at the wrong Royal Oak- there is another Royal Oak in Fishguard (honest mistake, I’m pretty sure this has happened before with tourists) anyway I opened the door and some rude older woman barked at me NO DOGS ALLOWED’ I was trying to explain that I booked a table and there must be some confusion. Instead of listening to what I had to say and letting me know I had turned up at the wrong pub she was rude and abrasive and basically pushed me out of the door, all the while talking over me and refusing to let me explain. Seriously manners cost nothing!! Such a shame as we are in town for a few days so would of likely gone for a drink here and sat in the beer garden with the dogs or come inside and left the dogs at home. Times are hard for pubs and restaurants so I’m really surprised staff are pushing customers out. Really not happy with the way I was spoken to.

We were unable to find a table in any restaurant in Newport - including the Royal Oak. Luckily, they offer an excellent take-away service, a friendly member of staff arranged a pick-up slot for us and we ordered an assortment of curries and sides - all very tasty and reasonable priced. Regarding Covid safety precautions - the Royal Oak were great, felt very safe.

Stayed in a cottage for a week in next village and we had three takeaway curries from here one night and they were a godsend. Delicious!! Best pub curry I’ve EVER eaten, the naan and poppadoms were great too. Due to the pandemic lots of places were closed or you had to have booked in advance or we couldn’t take our dog in. So we found it difficult to get dinner anywhere local so thank-you Royal Oak for your service. I’ll just add , we went back two days later and had three more curries! Lol

Lovely food at a good price. Friendly staff. Bonus being the pub car park as there are limited places to park in Newport

Tired décor but well cooked roast for Sunday lunch.

We were staying in the campsite up the road and walked down for dinner.The curry's were unreal , will definitely be back to have another next time we stay .Kronenberg on tap was nice change tooGreat value for money and a lovely pub 5 stars all day

With several pubs on the same road we tried them all, the Royal Oak like the others struggles for parking, we parked on the edge of the town and walked in, nice atmosphere inside, pleasant staff worth a pint .

Friendly pub serving great curries! Very pleasant staff.

Excellent - one of the best curries We ordered a take out while staying in Newport. Excellent value for money, and excellent service! Food cooked to order and was delicious. Prawn madras was one of the best my husband has had. Highly recommend

As always, the curry was delicious and full of flavour! Very generous portions! The pick up procedures could be improved given the current circumstances. Thank you 😊

Party of 8 went for food, chips undercooked, one party member did complain and received replacement, just the same, Serious need for chips tutorial guys!!!

Excellent OAP lunch, fantastic value!!

Staying in Wales for a week and visiting Cardigan, we asked in a local coffee shop if they knew somewhere good to eat in Newport our next destination? They recommended The Royal Oak saying it may not look much from the outside but the food is great. So off we went and we certainly weren't disappointed. We ordered the sea bass with lemon sauce, the Hunter chicken and 2 different curries with rice. The food came and we were all seriously impressed at the quantity and then the quality. The lamb curry was so tender, the king prawn so fresh and plenty of them. The sea bass was huge with amazing lemon sauce and the Hunters chicken comprised two chicken breasts with an amazing sauce. The service was spot and staff were very helpful and friendly. Nice local beers in a very homely pub. We will definitely make a special visit to eat here again. Thank you to all concerned, well done. Paul, Tracey, Barbara and Bob.
