We had a family meal of 23 on Saturday evening, everything came out as should have, no mistakes or problems at all. The staff were all so accommodating, friendly and helpful. Mete and Mikey were amazing servers and couldn't do enough for us! Thank you all for making my birthday meal so lovely :)

Had a family meal of 23 on Saturday, the staff were so helpful and accommodating and friendly, nothing was too much bother. Having pre ordered and from previous experience of similar places we expected a few hiccups with the food coming out correctly, on time etc but it was honestly flawless and the food was lovely. Mete and Mikey especially made my birthday meal very memorable and an absolute pleasure. Thank you :)

Had a lovely meal tonight at The Royal Oak. The service was fantastic by Mete, who was friendly, very helpful and attentive. I have two young children and Mete was so bubbly with them. He also made sure their food was ordered first and for their meals to come as quickly as possible. Thank you very much for amazing service and creating a lovely atmostphere for me and my young family.

Came here on today (23/03/25). We booked ahead asking for a quiet table. We got a family with young children sat next to us who were fairly vocal, they moved after about 7 or 8 minutes when I think they realised they were on the noisy side and the room between tables wasn't wide enough for their children to continue running past us( hats off to them). We ordered 2 brisket and 1 chicken roast with side order of cauliflower cheese . Food was delicious and it was cooked fresh. It did take a while to get attention of staff to get more gravy as lack of this was only downside of our meals. For deserts we went for Apple pie and custard and a Sundae to share, these were both very good too . Meals were above average price but with more and more business rate and tax hikes I can understand that. The real ales were excellent in taste and quality. A downside was trying to get the food serving staff's attention but the bar staff were on the ball every time we went to the bar. Pub was getting more busy as the day progressed ( a good sign that people use it because of its cleanliness, quality and friendly atmosphere). Yes I would come here again and would recommend it as a good freshly cooked food venue

Pleasant surroundings in this Bar Restaurant with friendly staff. A traditional English Pub decor throughout. The location has its own car parking surrounding the building. The building is spacious but devided into separate areas, so if you want to hire a function room, then this is catered for. Very clean throughout. Updated this revue to say that today we had lunch with our friends, as we do each month. Many times we have been served by Cheyenne and as always she did a wonderful job with us and always with a pleasant smile on her face, well done.

Tip: Maybe consider adding a local delivery service...if I lived local I'd be wrapped up at home ordering more of your food...and sampling more on the menu, especially school nights !! The young lady who served us was on point aswell. Thank you.

The team were super helpful, in particular Mikey, who helped from the point of the booking right until the party; helping to set evening up, arranging the music, and checking in througout the night to ensure everything was running smoothly. His attention to detail and constant support made the whole night easy and enjoyable. Thank you so much Mikey and team for making it such a great night for everyone!

I've been here a couple of times, and the atmosphere seems to be always the same. We went for a Sunday roast with the family for what we made a reservation over the phone. They ended up charging us £5 per head for a couple of friends that couldn't come over. Doing that after spending a total of £143 and even for a 10 months old baby? Rude staff, so not recommended!
