Royal Oak in South Lakeland

Delicious Sunday lunch, great portions and very tasty. Friendly, welcoming staff, who provided a quick service. An all round lovely experience, thank you!

Wow!. Amazing roast dinner here. Very generous portions. Would recommend for Sunday lunch 👍. Super quick service as well!

Excellent food & service! Didn’t have to wait long for a delicious hot meal! Staff were very efficient. Well set out, clean & tidy. Dogs allowed

Had an evening meal with family and the food was amazing. Three massive portions of fish and chips and a good potion of scampi and chips. Beautifully cooked and really tasty. Staff were really friendly too. Will defiantly come back.

Food was good but could have been a little warmer. Service was unfriendly and poor, ordered condiments and before we were able to finish telling the manager what we needed he was off . On his return we asked for Apple Sauce and he muttered he didn’t think he had any but arrived back with some! Drinks order came with no lemon and the full bottle of tonic having been poured into the gin without question and the ginger beer and lemonade were served with no ice. Finally one of my guests asked for more gravy and this appeared in a milk jug ten minutes later after she had finished her meal on telling this to the manager my wife asked if she could have a little on her last couple of roast potatoes he plonked the jug on the table and we were charged two pounds for the privilege! At no time during our visit were we asked if we enjoyed our meal or if everything was all right! Finally a smile from either member of staff would have been welcome!

the royal oak lindale used to be lovely but we were in 5 weeks ago and food has gone down hill also my husband couldn't get draft beer they hardly had any different beers just bottled my husband couldn't belive just how down hill it has become

Absolutely wonderful food. We phoned up a few hours before as a family of 3. They were so accommodating and said they would squeeze us in. We are so grateful. The best Sunday roast I’ve had in forever and also my husband and 3 year old cleared their plates and enjoyed their meals. Perfect cheesecake and wonderful service from Ebony and Ian. Great team! Thank you.

We decided to order food with some drinks at our local pub. We ordered 2 x halloumi fries to share A Beef Burger, a child’s chicken goujons and a Jacket potato with beans for me (an adult). However the chef refused to make the jacket potato because it was on one child’s menu. Which resulted in us cancelling our order and leaving with a very upset child. The local waiting on staff tried to reason with the chef but to no avail. We would have expressed our disappointment to the manager however he left at 8 pm. We keep giving this establishment yet another chance but get let down every time. Which is such a shame as it used to be a lovely place to go. And it is our local pub as residents of the village.

Went for supper with my wife. We had very good service and s very good meal with big portions as well! Lovely wine although a little pricey!

Mid week visit and it was very quiet, not like the pub we used to visit on a regular basis. As another reviewer comented the Tentant Required sign probably puts people off. We both ordered rib eye steak, but it was very tough and my jaw ached at the end of the meal. However the chips, mushrooms and onion rings with it were good. Hope they get a permanent tenant soon who can improve things.

Staff really nice, nice location for the pub. That’s about it in terms of good news…. I had roast beef Sunday dinner (£18). I thought it was a children’s portion! Two tiny roast potatoes, half a carrot, small spoon of greens & tablespoon mash. Two small slices beef & just a drizzle of gravy. I half expected another plate of veg to arrive. I note several others have commented on the portion sizes, seems to be a common issue.

2 years ago we ate twice in this pub and the food was excellent and good value for money. This year we spotted the To Let sign stuck on the pub and made comment that things may not be the same. How right we were! "Whitby scampi and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce". Was actually Youngs frozen scampi not properly cooked, in fact I guess it was microwaved (soggy), Batchelors mushy peas (eventually) and just about passable chips. "Steak with tomato, mushrooms, onion rings and chips". Best of the three but the onion rings never arrived! "Steak and Ale pie with fresh vegetables and chips" Microwaved bought in pie (soggy and lukewarm), tinned veg (soggy) and chips. Its so annoying when you recognise the shop bought food and sold as "fresh". Some staff worked hard to make things right - others couldn't give a dam and didn't bother hiding it. If you plan to visit - try driving further afield for the time being,

Lovely country pub. On arrival it was very quiet with only two other customers present. The staff were there and said hi and the room was spacious and typical country pub. We looked at the menu which was limited, however quality over quantity is important to us and went on to order a burger and a Cumberland sausage. Great food, tasty, well presented and fresh and hot. Couldn't have been happier. The chef asked us how it was and was clearly proud of his work. All in all a nice lunch out and good experience.

the food was really subpar. Barely cooked frozen chips. limp and warm greenery. Burger was OK, just. Shame, as I'd walked 30k steps hiking and waited all day for the meal. I'm not hungry now, but I would never return Staff were very nice, polite young men. No criticism there.

Notably friendly and welcoming pub with a very fairly priced menu. A genuinely warm atmosphere with attentive and helpful staff.

kodi and kate provided excellent service that kodi is such a flirt absolute legend funny guy will definitely be here again

Worst beef I’ve ever tasted, I couldn’t cut it let alone chew it. I’m so sorry to give this review but it was awful. We weren’t full either. Definitely wouldn’t go again!

Arrived Sunday evening for food .... 6pm ish [ last order meals 9-30 pm ? ] landlord realised we where diners @ the bar ? ... his first and only words where ............ ' kitchen closed ' No apology NO explanation !! AVOID !!

SUNDAY DINNER..Excellent..I would say the best in the area..Garlic Mushrooms were divine Roast Turkey dinner beautiful..nice and hot.. Service perfrct..two lovely friendly guys..we will be back that's for sure..

Friendly greeting when we arrived . The Service was fast . Lots of people in the pub and a great atmosphere. Great dinner and good portion size . Brilliant pub , just a shame it was better than the date I was on !

Well if you want a fantastic Sunday Lunch don't look any further than the Royal oak. Fresh vegetables massive Yorkies loads of Beef, roast potatoes, lashings of gravy and a really delicious and interesting garlic puree. Really good starter of Garlic Mushrooms. Nice selection of wines and hand pulled beer. Nothing to much bother for the staff who were really friendly. And Blanche could come in too. Music was brilliant and added to the atmosphere. Thank you enjoyed it all.

A lovely country pub/restaurant. Friendly and welcoming staff. Table service and great food. Delicious mains vegetarian option of butternut squash, lentil and almond wellington.

We stayed in the area and had evening meals here both nights. The food was really good piping hot and big portions plenty of choice in drinks and the staff lovely friendly and attentive would definitely eat here again

OK just - chips were on the menu but we got mash - lots of pings going in from the Kitchen - probably a lot of microwaving going on? The pie was good but the veg was questionable - good beer and wine though - there was an unlit fire - would have helped the atmosphere if it was alight?

Came here on Christmas Eve for a lovely meal. We were welcomed and looked after very well. The beer was excellent and we tried the Shanky's Whip in a coffee which was gorgeous. I've bought a bottle for myself now! The Christmas meal was so delicious. Luckily our starters weren't available so we didn't have one having been advised the dinner was so big we didn't need one. How true! We had a massive and gorgeous dinner and couldn't fit another thing in. Apart from the lovely Irish Coffee. What a lovely restaurant. We heard you had some drama there lately so really hope you can make a good go of this wonderful pub. It's excellent. Good luck!

I recently visited Royal Oak Lindale and was greatly disappointed by the overall experience. The atmosphere , drinks and food were pleasant, but it was overshadowed by glaring issues regarding the staff. Throughout my visit, it was painfully evident that there weren’t enough team members on duty to handle the volume of customers. The existing staff were visibly overworked, rushing around to attend to tables, take orders, and handle multiple tasks simultaneously. This resulted in prolonged wait times and a general sense of chaos. It's disheartening to witness hardworking individuals pushed to their limits due to understaffing. It's unfair to both the staff, who are obviously struggling, and the customers who expect a certain level of service when they visit. The term "modern-day slavery" may be strong, but the sheer exhaustion and strain on the faces of the employees painted a distressing picture. It's concerning to see a business seemingly prioritize profits over the well-being of its staff, as evident in the unsustainable workload imposed on them. A pub is not just about the drinks; it's about the experience. And unfortunately, the overworked staff significantly marred what could have been an enjoyable evening. I sincerely hope that Royal Oak and Robinsons take immediate steps to address this issue by hiring more staff or implementing better scheduling practices to ensure a healthier and more efficient work environment. Until improvements are made in staffing and workload management, I regret to say that I won't be returning to Royal Oak.

I will try to keep this short and sweet, but it will be hard. Firstly…. - The bar/dining area and the toilets are spotless, absolutely spotless. - The hosts - Matt and his beautiful partner….. couldn’t do enough.. New custodians I believe, and they are clearly not messing around. They were wonderful people and they couldn’t do enough for us and the other diners. They knew when and how often to check on things, whilst also allowing diners to eat, chat, relax and enjoy the food, drink & ambience. - The chef…. I think I heard his name was Luke. You served hot, well presented and delicious food…. hats off to you Luke, well done! You are a very talented chef, and you produced some food today that was not only exceptionally generous in portion size, but absolutley delicious. - The drinks…. A perfect pint of dizzy blonde… again, faultless. I love nothing more than finding hidden gems like this, and I feel that we have been extremely lucky to do so, now it’s in the hands of these very talented and hardworking people. I wish you all the luck in the world for your time at the Royal Oak, and I can only hope that word gets around about what they will be in for when they visit… Seriously, seriously good and will 100% visit again. Andy & family Table of 4 - 13:30 - 17/12/23 Try it guys, preferably on a very very empty stomach! x

Called in recently after having been for a walk nearby. Really good Sunday lunch in a very nice pub. Excellent service and decent beer too.

Such a lovely pub. Super friendly staff, amazing food choices. Food is big portions but super tasty. Staff attentive and polite. Not too busy and easy to find. Highly recommend. Suitable for couples, families and big groups.

Lovely little find this, in the current pandemic, you want somewhere comfortable, safe and welcoming- this pub was all three in spades. From the warm welcome, to the excellent food and drink, I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area. Well worth the visit!

We were warmly welcomed to our fireside table at the Royal Oak on a Friday evening. The choice was good, our fish and chips were freshly cooked, crisp batter and golden chips. We enjoyed a couple of pints of local beer and enjoyed delicious home made sticky toffee puddings. We are planning a weekly treat of lunch or dinner at The Royal Oak.

Visited last nights while on holiday in the area. The staff are lovely and friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The food was excellent and to a very high standard.I’d definitely recommend this place and we will be sure to visit again. Thank you.

From entry to exit the service was exceptional coupled with great home cooked food resulting in a really pleasant dining experience. 6 of us (4 adults 2 children) 4 of us had the chicken and bacon pie, veg and chips the other had gammon and chips. 10/10 from everyone who had the pie, 9/10 for the gammon. Presentation was tantalising to our tastebuds. Easy to book a table over the phone. Traditional food, cooked fresh with home cooked chips. £93 for 6 people with 2 drinks each. Exceptional value, will dine again when back in the area next year.

On the last minute we decided to call the Royal Oak to see if they could accommodate us for Sunday Dinner. They said they could and after a good day of walking we were in need of food and somewhere warm to relax. I have to admit I didn't know what to expect from the food, well wow was I blown away! This is by far the best food I have eaten in ages. As we entered The Royal Oak, we were met by a friendly member of staff and a lovely warm relaxed atmosphere. We ordered 3 beef Sunday lunches and 1 homemade steak and potato pie. I honestly can't praise the food enough. Everything on the roast beef lunch was just amazing, homemade Yorkshire puddings, the most tasty tender beef, perfectly cooked vegetables, and lovely gravy. The homemade pie was cooked to perfection with lovely pastry. When I go out for food, I am not someone who loves a huge plate overflowing of just average food, I like quality food rather than quantity, and this food was exactly that. We had the sticky toffee pudding for desert, which was also just as delicious. I wish I had know about this place the day before as we ate somewhere else in Grange over sands which was no where near as good. All the staff were very friendly and made you feel so welcome. I would definitely book again without hesitation if I am visiting in the future. Well done The Royal Oak, keep doing what you are doing!

We ate twice this week here. Clearly good enough to return to the next day ;-)Steve and Becky covered front of house doing a great job to keep the customers served really well. The kitchen staff did a great job on the food. Top dish was probably fish n chips as my boys and wife loved this. Although they did have the sticky toffee pudding twice! My wife had the special second visit and had brill. Never heard of but apparently the lemon mash etc that went with it was greatOnly reason for not 5stars was my steak and kidney pie was a bit dry. The steak the first day though was perfectApart from that great British pub food

If your looking for somewhere to have a lovely roast dinner in grange over sands here is your place . The gravy is amazing !!! Never had a bad meal here and been going for years .The puddings are amazing as well .

Vine aquí con mi hermana para cenar el viernes por la noche. Fueron muy cuidadosos al ceñirse a las pautas de COVID - 19 y nos hicieron sentir muy seguros durante toda nuestra comida. Pedí la tarta del día (13.95) que estaba deliciosa y bien presentada con una excelente selección de verduras, y mi hermana comió la hamburguesa de bistec (13.95) con salsa de queso azul (3.50). También tomamos medio litro de Coca-Cola Light (2,70) y zumo de naranja (2,30) con limonada (0,60). Luego también compartimos un delicioso pudín de caramelo pegajoso (5. 95). Muy recomendable para una agradable cena.

We stopped off here on our way home from Muncaster. The service was excellent, food delicious and most importantly I felt save and all measures for social distancing were in place and being followed. There were plenty of hand sterilizing stations.

Después del cierre, viaje fuera de unos días, primera noche en este pub local del pueblo cerca de donde nos quedamos como cerrado hasta hoy. Valió la pena la espera, la comida era genial, el pastel de mi marido era uno de los mejores comidos, mi hamburguesa estaba deliciosa, comida de pub de alta gama, todo delicioso y el Covid seguro perfectamente ejecutado. reservado para mañana también!

Mi esposa y yo pasamos aquí para el almuerzo del domingo y una de las mejores cenas de los domingos que he tenido en mucho tiempo. La carne de res estaba cocinada a la perfección, no tienes mucha comida, pero como estaba perfectamente cocinada y estaba deliciosa, no te importa no tener un plato lleno.Mi esposa comió el pastel de bistec con cerveza y patatas fritas y dijo que no podía criticarlo, vino con salsa extra.También tuvimos la crema de limón que estaba delicioso.La pinta de Ale (rubia) que tomé era una pinta preciosa.Definitivamente regresaríamos aquí

I was disapointed on all several visits to the Royal Oak, the place itself is relaxing and comfortable but on every visit food has been unavailable on each time.

The meat options were tasty and attractively presented with fresh vegetables to go with them. My falafel burgers were deep fried and dry, with little resemblance to falafels. They came in toasted pittas which added to the dryness. There were a couple of lettuce leaves, two slices of tomato and a few bits of red onion. There was some “salsa”, which comprised tomato diced very small in balsamic vinegar. An earlier review mentions how good the vegetable lasagne is: I clearly made the wrong choice. The beer was excellent happily.

Dinner was lovely, desserts were light and very nice. Worth the wait. Pleasant staff and table service.

Mi compañero y yo fuimos a cenar a mitad de semana, cada uno con un entrante y un plato principal. Todos los platos estaban calientes, bien preparados y presentados y bastante sabrosos y justificaban una calificación de "bueno" pero no "muy bueno". El personal era amable y el servicio era bueno, pero el lugar carecía de ambiente: muebles básicos y una decoración aburrida.

Acabo de regresar de unos días en la zona, y debo decir que el Royal Oak en Lindale proporcionó la mejor comida de pub que he probado en muchos años.Fuimos a la hora del almuerzo del domingo y el pub estaba lleno con un buen ambiente, sin estar lleno o ruidoso.El servicio fue amable y eficiente.Tuve la lasaña de verduras. Este es un plato que se ve en todas partes, y normalmente no me entusiasmaría. Sin embargo, la versión Royal Oak fue excelente: claramente hecha en casa y muy sabrosa, con una interesante mezcla de verduras dentro.Mis compañeros comieron almuerzos asados de cordero y ternera los domingos, y entre todos comimos cada trozo de comida.¡Muy recomendable!

Had an evening meal off their festive menu. bit of posh grub rather than a large portioned traditional pub. It was however very tasty and staff were friendly.The garlic bread was really memorable, the turkey main was good but not great as a little fatty. All in all a nice experience

La primera vez que comimos aquí hoy y fue genial. Teníamos el curry de carne, cena de pavo y salchichas y patatas fritas para mi niño. La comida era excelente al igual que el vino. El miembro del personal que creo que llamó Abbey fue fantástico con mi hijo. Definitivamente volveremos

Drove past this pub yesterday thought it looked nice.so read recent reviews and decided to see if we could eat here tonight.very pleasant attentive staff.ate in the bar area.shared artisan bread hummus and olive oil/balsamic starter.then I ordered the venison from the specials.it was delicious cooked just right.my husband chose the gammon again cooked and presented well.Lots of choice on both the specials and regular menu.We were spoilt for choice. For deserts my husband selected the apple crumble and ice cream I chose the lemon cheesecake.Again top Mark's for presentation .The apple crumble was very nice.So was my cheesecake.There were several others dining by the time we left .Obviously a very popular dining pub.for obvious reasons.It deserves to be busy and do well.

A great country pub restaurant. It has just changed hands in the last few weeks and they have set themselves a high standard. The staff were friendly and helpful, the menu varied and interesting. All the dishes the four of us had were of a high standard. My main course of local bred lamb chops were delicious and nicely presented. The portions were generous but not overwhelming.We would certainly recommend this restaurant.

We went there in late summer and everything was great. Service, food, ambiance. Very nice and I would go back

Visité Royal Oak durante nuestras vacaciones en Lake District. Era entre semana y una ocasión relativamente especial. Nos informaron por teléfono que el lugar estaba siendo tomado por una nueva administración y que traeríamos efectivo ya que no tenían máquina de tarjetas.

Went here for an evening meal during a weekend break at a holiday cottage in Lindale.

Saturday evening family meal out. Sadly no large bottles of Prosecco nor the beer the men folk wanted to order plus a number of items on the menu were not available either. The meal itself was acceptable as a pub meal and the staff were pleasant and helpful.

Was busy on a Monday night which is a good sign.Nice welcoming pub with food that was obviously cooked by a chef who knows what he/she is doing.Tasty food nothing fancy and certainly not micro waved.Give it a try.

Staying in a local holiday home, we went here for a mid week early evening meal, hadn’t booked but luckily we managed to get a table..surprised to how busy it was for mid week. But after the meal, it was clear why they were so busy.

The Royal Oak offers typical pub food and of a quality which will not disappoint. The highlight of the meal was the apple and celeriac soup. Sounds a bit 'out there' but it was very pleasant. We followed this with a burger with extra cheese topping, which on close inspection was just about there but not as plentiful as you might expect. To be fair the waiter did take off the cheese supplement. The burger itself was very nice.

This was our last holiday dinner before going home.The restaurant didn't seem busy but we still waited a long time! The staff was friendly and the food when it arrived - excellent, freshly cooked and tasty!

We ate here with friends during a really busy week for the pub. They happily fitted us in even though we booked late. The service was impeccable. Polite and attentive but not too fussy. The food was outstanding. We only live locally and will definitely be back again. Can highly recommend a visit!

The food here was truly excellent and I would like to eat there again, but for the fact that we were sat in a draught and inspire of a polite request to move tables, we were declined. There were several empty tables around and as the kitchen was about to close for service, this ought not to have been the case. Left feeling somewhat disappointed.

Recently stayed near by and the Royal Oak was recommended to us. We were not disappointed, lovely place, great food and very friendly and efficient staff. Very popular so make sure you book.

The quality of our meal was superb and the service from a young male waiter was excellent. However our experience was totally spoiled by the fact that we were sat at a table exposed to a cold draught from an open back door. A polite request to be moved to a different table was refused by the pub manager notwithstanding that there were other tables available. This attitude was unfortunate as we would have given five stars. This review will also be left with HPB. Merlewood where we we were staying.

Don't go unless you want to wait an hour and a half for your food. Appalling service, ruined our evening. Not even offered a stale crust to keep us going. Booked for 7.30, food came at 9.00pm. Abysmal.

We regularly go to this pub every time we are in the Lake District. I utterly love being part of the hustle and bustle of the goings on here. The staff are fantastic, so attentive, chatty, makes you feel familiar and makes our experience ever so more pleasurable when we are there! The food is great, we like to have starter, main and desert and spread our meal out - (not like these fast food eaters) we enjoy taking our time. We enjoy the options of potato’s and either salad or veg.. Gives you more control over your meal and less wastage in my eyes! I can’t say we’ve ever had a bad experience here and I hope they continue the good work. Also please edit the bread and butter toffee pudding back on!! That was Devine

A fairly late decision to eat out - and a fortunate decision to ring and book - secured the last available table, provided we ate early.

Against our better judgement bearing in mind the last visit, we booked A table for dinner. We were asked to come 15 minutes earlier to avoid a wait. When we arrived the restaurant was only half full, having been offered a drink almost immediately it was 20 minutes before our order was taken. One of the party was a vegetarian and having checked there would be plenty of choice at the time of booking we were informed that all the vegetarian dishes apart from one were not available. We were amused to see that the menu described crab, salami and cured ham as vegetarian!

Didn't dine so cannot comment on the food. Local custom is fine but when the locals are hogging the bar (and are rude!!!) that's not good. Staff on the phone too. So decided to leave rather than put the staff to any inconvenience. Who knows, the food might have been good...

Where were you when England won the Word Cup? Well, we were having an excellent meal at the Royal Oak, and I was slipping in and out of the bar area every couple of minutes to get an update on the score. Only problem was that the locals decided that we had lost when the match was tied and the TV was switched over to the men's tennis final at Wimbledon. 20 minutes later a kindly barman came to say that there had been two super overs at Lords and England had won!!! An additional twist to the rollerceroaster that the nation was riding!

Service was very slow. Several items on the menu were no longer available. Husband had steak which was undercooked & after waiting for some time for a steak knife to be brought to the table, he had to go and ask for it. Would not return.

We visited The Royal Oak last night and were really disappointed. There were 4 adults and 2 children. The menu looked great and all 4 adults ordered steak. Most of the steaks bar one came out not cooked to our liking ie Medium was very rare! We were also asked if we wanted vegetables or a salad with the steaks. We all opted for salad. This was brought out in the smallest bowl ever seen which was to be shared amongst four of us. Literally two hours after leaving the pub one of us started with horrendous stomach gripes which resulted in bad diarrhoea. We dropped like flies rapidly over the course of the evening. One of us felt extremely sick. We were on a weekend break away and this really spoilt our last evening!

Absolutely amazing food, my husband had the steak and said it was the nicest stake he had ever had, I had the gammon and was so tasty, great atmosphere, great table service on the drinks too 5*

This was a first time visit as we were staying at HPB Merlewood Windermere Road,the staff were courteous and friendly and the food and service were cellent.an excellent

We called in here after a day at the coast. This is a lovely country pub offering an excellent menu and is lovely inside. My wife and I had fish from the menu and it was gorgeous. The staff were friendly and attentive and looked after us perfectly. The sticky toffee bread and butter pudding was to die for and I now wish we had not decided to share one!

Nos reunimos con amigos para cenar debido a la ubicación del pub y buenos informes. Este es un lugar que atrae a turistas y a muchos lugareños, por lo que el ambiente, aunque era miércoles, era muy animado.

Mi marido y yo nos detuvimos en The Royal Oak un domingo de camino a Grange - over - Sands. Esperábamos un almuerzo ligero, pero la cocina solo servía almuerzos completos los domingos. El propietario fue muy amable y atento y cuando le dijimos que no queríamos comer tanto, nos ofreció un par de entrantes. Teníamos sopa (zanahoria y calabaza), que era excelente. La zona de estar al aire libre estaba resguardada, limpia y ordenada y hecha bonita con plantas en macetas. Nuestro camarero y el resto del personal fueron tan amables y profesionales como el propietario.

Visitamos anoche con amigos como punto intermedio entre nosotros y los que visitan la zona. Un pub agradable y acogedor, obviamente, le gustaba y era frecuentado por los lugareños y para una noche de miércoles muy concurrida. El menú nos sorprendió, no la típica comida de pub (aunque también está ahí), sino un cambio semanal de especialidades con carpaccio de venado y mero al halibut. ¡Servicio rápido, comida hermosa y pudín de mantequilla y pan de toffee pegajoso! ! ! ! ! Un retorno definitivo al lugar.

Called to reserve table after reading reviews. I had poached pear and walnut with blue cheese which was delicious although not the biggest portion. The roast beet was very well presented and the gravy was one of the best I’ve had. Only negative was the lack of table check and the portion of vegetables could of been bigger. The desert of strawberry cheesecake was to die for and my wife really enjoyed this part of the meal. Definitely would recommend if in the area.

Haddock and chips superb whilst the salmon was very good and portions were generous. The local ale was £3.30 a pint and well kept.

Fiesta de seis para el almuerzo del domingo en un hermoso fin de semana festivo soleado.

Vine aquí en la tienda si los comentarios y la comida realmente es excelente. El pastel de bistec y cerveza era delicioso y una gran cantidad de carne de res de buena calidad. Las verduras también eran perfectas.

Came for a meal whilst on a break in the area and picked the right place. Very busy but dealt with efficiently by friendly waiter. An extensive menu along with the specials and both the guinea fowl and lamb were exquisite along with excellent vegetable selection. Starters and desserts were equally good. Excellent value since it is restaurant quality food at pub food prices. If in the area again it will be our first choice to visit.

We had heard from friends that this pub was thee one to try in our local area.

We had a lovely evening meal here just five minutes drive from HPB Merlewood where we were staying. Many locals were also dining there, reflecting the popularity of this village pub restaurant. Prices were very reasonable and the food quality was excellent. We will certainly return when staying in the area.

Came here with a friend on a weekday evening. We had fish n chips n a fish pie, and also 2 drinks. It was such a nice place to catch up with friends. The portion size was huge and the foods were just absolutely wonderful!

We have been dining here for years and went in for lunch today, we had already sat down and ordered drinks before we looked at the menu otherwise we would have left £19.00 for pizza and fries £17.00 for gamon. It cost us nearly £100 for 5 adults for lunch and one soft drink each, the food was nice but not worth the money, we ate from Manchester and the prices were on part with our city centre we will not be returning which is a shame as it was always our favourite pub to eat in in cartmel

Phoned last minute on Saturday afternoon. Managed to get a table for two. Lovely warm and cosy place. Friendly and attentive staff. Extensive choice and food delicious. We had the lamb and pesto chicken. Both presented well with sides of veg and home made chips. Packed with flavour. Will definitely return. Worth a visit

Really nice food, relaxed atmosphere, will definitely go back The staff were friendly, the food was freshly cooked so it took a bit longer but it was worth waiting for.

Nicely decorated and clean pub that has a really good menu serving wide range of dishes from unusual to traditional, I had duck that was excellent. Good beers too.

After a morning in Grange-Over-Sands, we took a slight detour on our way home to Lancaster to visit this pub of which we had heard good reviews. We were not disappointed- we were made to feel welcome. Although it was busy and we hadn’t made a reservation a table was soon found. We ordered ciabattas from the sandwich menu which came with side orders of chips and a salad garnish.

Eleven of us (aged 70 down to 4) had a delicious lunch at The Royal Oak today. Everything we had was superb from the steak and ale pie to the children’s meals. Can highly recommend for the food, the service and the warm welcome.

Came with friends whilst in the area. Atmosphere warm and welcoming . Food absolutely delicious. Would fully recommend a visit if you are n the area.

What a pleasant night last night was at the Royal oak at Lindale the service was very good, the food was Beautiful, I had the salmon Wellington with fresh asparagus and another four different types of vegetables all beautifully cooked with a beurre blanc sauce, my husband had the steak and ale pie , plenty of succulent steak in a lovely gravy and a suet pastry, served with real chips and again four very fresh vegetables. The reason I recommend the vegetables is because , the previous night we had only one vegetable with our main course at a different restaurant in Carmel.

Four of us dined here yesterday evening and we were all very satisfied with our starters and main courses. The staff were friendly and attentive The atmosphere is pleasant with drinkers and diners. Prawn and melon starter was well presented with tasty king prawns

The Royal Oak is a very nice place to eat. We ate there twice. Once for Sunday lunch which we both had the roast beef followed by raspberry cheese cake. We were that impressed that we booked for the following night and were not disappointed at having made this choice. The food is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful especially the barman. The atmosphere is good with a traditional country feel. I would certainly come back if in The area and would definitely recommend.

We were quite a big group on a Sunday evening so we were glad we had booked a table in this busy pub. Three of us had the game casserole which was excellent and great value for money. It had a generous serving of dumplings and also bread. We all agreed that the bread was a bit soft and oily but that it wasn't needed anyway. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Service was very friendly and helpful.

Fantástico pub local del pueblo con buena comida.

Most unusual for a pub in this part of the country, but dogs are not welcome. It’s a reasonable choice, but I would now choose to go elsewhere. The food is really very good and fairly priced and the beer well kept.

Called in for lunch on way back from the motorway,very friendly welcome from Simon behind the bar. Food is traditional pub grub well cooked with fresh veg. A varied menu with dishes to suit all tastes.

A very friendly pub in Lindale, great food and staff, recommend booking even during the off peak season, will definitely be going back.

Reservamos una mesa para dos para una celebración de cumpleaños y no me decepcionó. Buena comida y servicio en un restaurante local donde nos alojamos (HPB Merlewood). Comenzó con la selección de pan con pimienta humous y aceite de oliva con miel. Seguido por la dorada y el conejo, ambos servidos con una gran selección de verduras. El personal fue muy atento pero no exagerado, nos sentimos bienvenidos y volveremos en nuestra próxima visita a la zona.

We came to Royal Oak for an anniversary dinner and we were not disappointed. The standard of meals was extremely high and the choice was outstanding. They cater for vegetarian as well. The food is locally sourced and cooked by a chef who understands flavour and perfection. The fresh vegetables are mouthwatering. Everything came hot and perfectly presented.
