Went here for a Sunday roast as a party of 7 and Mete did a wonderful job of serving us. He was super friendly and pleasant, and always ensured we had everything we wanted. The roast dinners were delicious, and there was a lovely atmosphere.

Excellent food and fantastic service from our waiter Mete. Mete was very polite and friendly throughout our meal, making sure everyone had their food and that everything was ok. This continued from start to finish. Thank you Mete. Also thanks to James at the bar he remembered our drinks from a few weeks ago. Friendly atmosphere and all the staff were great.

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.

I recently enjoyed a lovely meal at The Royal Oak, where the food, atmosphere, and service all combined to create a memorable evening. I had the chicken skewer, which was absolutely delicious. Although it arrived with chips instead of the advertised rice, I didn’t mind at all—the chips were perfectly crispy and paired surprisingly well with the juicy, flavorful chicken. The side salad was fresh and vibrant, a nice touch that added to the overall dish. Family also tried the steak and ribs, which offered fantastic value for the quality. Both were cooked just right, hearty, and well-seasoned, making them a satisfying addition to the meal. An unexpected treat was the live singer, who added a lively, welcoming ambiance to the evening and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right without being intrusive. Overall, my experience at The Royal Oak was excellent, and I’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommended!

We were looking for somewhere to go for Sunday roast, we live on Chingford yet never tried the Royal Oak other them for drinks. It's dog friendly, and has a dog menu which is great, dogs being allowed in the bar and garden area only. We were immediately offered a water bowl for our dog. We ordered 2 prawn cocktails to start and 2 roast beef brisket, they'd run out of cauliflower cheese as a side order. We had to go put to the porch and get our own cutlery, napkins and condiments which wasn't advised till our food arrived when I asked for some. The prawn cocktail came, it was nicely presented, but soon realised the actual amount of prawn cocktail was very small, just padded out with lots of leaves. The beef brisket was poor cheap quality, roast potatoes hardly roasted, gravy wasn't great. We had a bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, which was nice and chilled, best part of the meal. All very underwhelming and forgettable, a real shame as it's a lovely pub.

We came for a sunday roast in the restaurant, it was very busy but the service was amazing, we had Marnie seat us she looked after us all afternoon and made us feel like a priority even in the rush. Food was better than we expected and came quickly, recomend the Chicken roast and cauliflower.
