Royal Oak in Charnwood

A party of 17 of us have just lunched here today (5th) and everyone enjoyed the meals. They were all generous portions, served very efficiently and they complied with any extra requests we made. Would definitely recommend it.

Great pub with exceptionallly kept beer, lovely staff and nice atmosphere. Proper country pub with a menu that looked quite exciting.

Simply faultless Table of 8 of us for Sunday lunch The pub is lovely with a lovely friendly atmosphere The Pork Belly with Crackling was exceptional and I must return soon just for that again. We all loved the food and had a smashing afternoon. Thank you.

Lovely old pub that offers community support like afternoon bingo entertainment and good food. Not bad prices too.

Lovely food and the cocktails are great.

Could not thank the owner and staff another for making mine and gaz wedding reception amazing. Food was on point, the room looked amazing, love them and the pub a lot

Been a long time since I last visited, still as good as ever ❤

Very warm welcome at The Royal Oak. Visited Saturday night, steak was excellent, some of our party are vegetarian and so by special arrangement on ' steak night' they had salmon which was also excellent. I wish we lived closer. From ..cask ale pub, food pub, live music pub, they do it all so well. Live band on the night we went were great. Definitely return :)

Had a really lovely time at the Craft and Cocktails evening. It was well organised, with a great choice of cocktails. It was a fun way to spend a Saturday night. Also ate in the pub - a good offer on steak and wine.

Couldn't fault a thing about this pub. The staff are so friendly. The Sunday dinner was the best I've ever had in a pub. A very good price for such delicious food. I was so full I had no room for a pudding which was disappointing 🫣🤣. Delicious beer too

Sunday lunch with a 2 year old child in tow and can honestly say not only was the food absolutely perfect and full of flavour but also the staff were so friendly and accommodating.. Engaged with not only us adults but also my niece and the chef did a a couple of sausages for her instead of sunday roadt meats which was such a nice gesture.. Would so highly recommend and we will be returning to try other offerings on the main and lunch nenus in future

Always love coming here. Foods brill had pork belly - delish 😋

10 of us had Easter Sunday lunch here. Food was fantastic, main courses were great, puddings to die for, excellent quality and good quanties and service great too. Brill. Thanks very much to all the staff. Lee & Wendy.

Quite simply the best roast dinner I've had and this is now the standard setter for all other pub Sunday lunches. I had the 3 meat roast, and the plate arrived with generous proportions as the photo shows. All meats were individually cooked perfectly, if I wasn't full at the end I would have been happy to have another plate! All the staff were really friendly and attentive and served with a smile and as busy as it was, the time waiting for dinner was perfectly satisfactory. All the rest of my family really enjoyed their respective dinners. Lovely Leicestershire beer by Everard's on draft too, so couldn't resist a pint of tiger. Highly recommend a visit

Amazing food and a family atmosphere. Good honest pub.

It's a typical pub, with a skittle ally that serves pub food. They do a mean vegetarian lasagne which you can request if you are vegetarian.

Excellent Sunday roast ! Can't fault the price point either

Our 1st waitress was lovely but the one that served the pud and took the money was very rude

A gem of a place to eat ...excellent food and service ..attentive chef who after service came out to speak to the customers .

Nice, dog-friendly pub. Had a pint and a bar snack. The food was good and reasonably priced. I will visit again.

Can't believe I hadn't been here before after living in the next village for 40 years! .. I will definitely be back, the band made for a perfect evening :-)

Very enjoyable, menu tiny bit limited but what is on it is spot on

1st time I've ever been in and was w very happy. Very nice surroundings

Been using this pub for about a year now, after moving to the village 2 years ago. The owner Faye is just brilliant, always welcoming and has turned this place around in such a short time. Some great live band nights, and quiz once a month. But like all successful businesses, it wouldn't be anything without good staff, and I think Faye has the best staff around. The most fantastic bunch behind the bar, who don't take long to get to know you, and what you drink. In truth this place has been a lifeline for me. More than just a pub, and I don't think they realise how important to some that is. And that's down to the warm, friendly welcoming atmosphere you receive, whether it's you're first visit or you're hundredth.

Food was absolutely amazing with excellent service

1st time, and certainly won't be the last, Thanks for a lovely meal and your pub is fantastic 😁

Really nice, friendly pub. Great food, Italian menu. The two ladies working that evening were brilliant. Will definitely be visiting again 👍

First time here in years and on two occasions it did not disappoint. Great Italian midweek and great Sunday lunch. Good value food and drink, friendly staff.

Food was good value large baguette & lovely chips. Nice coffee. It would be better if you could have a pot of tea rather than the cups of tea we had.

Perfect village pub for gents evening of serious banter

Steak night was lovely, rib eye was cooked beautifully, Stilton sauce was really creamy and served with a lovely mound of salad and chips. A really nice pub, very friendly, great food and great service.

Thursday evening, Steak night Wow, best steak I’ve had an a very long while. Beautifully cooked, ambience was great. Staff friendly and attentive. Excellent service. Good value for money. I would happily recommend it.

Great pub need to go back for food

Fantastic dining, good beer, fruendly welcome everytime.

Hands down the best Italian food from massimo , Thank you for such an amazing meal . Highly recommend booking a table you will love it .

Popped in for a late afternoon drink after a walk in the area and ended up staying for dinner. We both chose pork tenderloin in blue cheese and leek sauce, which came with roast potatoes, carrots and broccoli and garlic bread. It was perfectly cooked and portions were good. Had no intention of having dessert but after perusing the menu fancied sharing a portion of the raspberry and curly-wurly traybake with ice cream - which was so delicious we wished we'd ordered two! The staff were really friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was good for late afternoon/early evening. We'll definitely be dropping in again in the not too distant future.

I went to a Skittles party. I found everything to be all right. I found nothing about the venue impressive (apart from having a Skittles ally), but nothing put me off enjoying the evening either. We had a reasonably typical pub lasagna and garlic bread. Not too good, not too bad.

Lovely Italian food by Massimo. We had the sea bass and the sirloin steak in mushroom sauce. Really tasty dishes served with veg and some crispy new potatoes. Top quality food for a reasonable price. Definitely want to go back and try some other items on the menu.

Good beer and a pleasant places for a pint and a chat with good friendly service. I haven't eaten there but I hear the food is good too

Our theatre group recently used the skittle alley for our monthly social evening. We had great fun playing in teams and enjoying a hot buffet. The staff were great at organising the evening for us. We will be back again!

Wasn't here for long - post work drink at the end of term - but the staff were friendly and gave recommendations on drinks, of which there was a good selection. The inside was clean and there was also a lovely outdoor area to sit in. Didn't have food here but I have heard from others that the food is good. Well worth a visit.

Went to a lovely fused glass workshop with cream tea. Location & experience was excellent. Will be back.

We went for the first time and had Sunday lunch, I can't fault the service received and the food was nice overall. I had the beef and it seemed dry, my daughter had gammon which was nice. It's one of those that you would think, yes, I will go again but then we won't be going anytime soon because of the price. We paid £40 for 1 adult and 1 child carvery, 2 drinks and some ice cream for my daughter. I cant remember the last time it's cost the 2 of us anywhere close to this for Sunday lunch. The Sunday dinner is also quite basic in its contents. Too add cauliflower cheese, pigs in blankets, stuffing and a few other extras that you associate with Sunday lunch, it's a whopping £3.50 each per side added. So £14 for a basic Sunday lunch, but if you like stuffing etc you will soon find yourself with a Sunday dinner costing around £25 for 1 person. You can share the side by the looks of the portion, but thats only if your in a larger group, you can't share if your the only one wanting that extra - this is something that should be looked at by the owners. So a tough one, really nice but price will hold us back from going again.

We have been a few times before. This time, just popped in for cocktails as they have a deal on at the moment and the cocktails here are rather good. Previously, we visited for food and that was good too. Will be coming back, especially in the nice weather as they have a beer garden. Well done.

Good food and drink at a reasonable price and friendly staff

First time for Sunday lunch food great and staff absolutely magnificent cannot fault this place staff very helpfull as my wife as advance parkinson disease loved it7

Stumbled on this place. Great find.

A good welcome and a selection of unfamiliar ales is always a great start to any pub visit in my book. Confirmation that we could have a table for dinner completed the deal. After tasting the Sunshine and Tiger Copper Ales, we both settled on the Tiger Copper Ale; hoppy, with a subtle bitterness it's a good session beer. We sat at one of the high tables at the back of the lounge bar. A mellow soundtrack overlaid with the sound of local's voices created a busy, but not loud atmosphere. This pub is very dog friendly and there were several hounds in evidence, but all were well behaved, including their owners. We ordered drinks and they were brought to our table. We then ordered dinner, two burgers with grilled halloumi cheese to share as a starter. The cheese arrived promptly, served with a good helping of chilli dip and dressed green leaves, it saved us from starvation and set the scene nicely for the main course. Burgers can sound so good and then be a real disappointment, but these burgers were excellent. Not tough or overcooked with a good slab of melted cheese, fat slices of tomato, leaves and cooked onions or or an onion chutney (?) Served with skin on chips and a good dollop of coleslaw our dinners were perfect. Service was professional and friendly with checks to see if we needed anything else. The environment was clean and shiny and the facilities were well cared for. Coming into the pub from the carpark at the rear includes a short flight of steps, but entering from the main road has one or two steps to get you into the lounge bar. A pub like this as a local would prove to be irresistible and would definitely lead to an expanding waistline. We will certainly visit again.

Always a great welcome and good food

Too many dogs!! I know this is a country pub and like many country pubs they welcome dogs. Surely there should be an area for dogs or a limit on how many are allowed in at one time. We arrived to eat and there were dogs everywhere. Totally put me off as the staff were touching the dogs then going behind the bar and into the kitchen to bring food out. I won’t be rushing back for this reason!

Beautiful food in Beautiful surroundings with beautiful staff.

Lovely pub with a homely feeling to it, dogs welcome, which is great! Food is delicious too! would highly recommend A*

Excellent pub! First time visiting in 3 years, however we will definitely not leave it that long till the next visit. Staff were amazing! The pub itself has a wonderful atmosphere and it was a delightful place to spend a sunny afternoon. The food is also really nice and can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Will definitely be returning very soon!

My daughter and myself arrived today, not realising the pub wasn't actually open, searching for coffees. We were kindly invited in and enjoyed our drinks. Great service ! I have also had a couple of lunches here recently, both delicious. A proper village local and a warm welcome. Thank you, Judith and Alex.

We went for a drink at the beginning of March. I had not been before we had a drink and sat in a quiet corner of the pub. We decided to have a bite to eat and ordered 2 pizzas, which we thoroughly liked. The staff were friendly and helpful, we shall definitely be visiting again.

Lovely place and wonderful people who are very welcoming. Highly recommend!

First time back for a few months as now under new management. Much busier and more atmosphere now, more beer selection and staff much more friendly and welcoming. A good, varied and reasonably priced menu too although we didn't eat when we visited.

Great pub, great food and absolutely fantastic service. I can feel that we could be regular visitors. Thank you 😊

Great pub. Lovely atmosphere. Food fair nothing special.. no complaints. Looking forward to a return visit.

Excellent food great service glad to see it is back in good hands!!

Been here a couple of times for a drink but decided to have lunch Very nice very pleasent will be back again

Lovely decor and good service. Very quaint pub with origional quirky features. Nice food.

Just like old times now it has new management. ..

Excellent lovely little pub, lovely food and a good selection of local beers 👍

Very cosy, festive, with friendly staff and good beer!

Myself and 4 friends meet here about 3 times a year for a reunion get-together meal. Really nice homely pub atmosphere, great and friendly staff giving really good service. Apparently, now under new ownership, the menu is now limited by comparison to the past, but it is ok giving variety. The food is very nice but not as good as we have experienced here before. Our only negative is that the amount of food on the plate is not much for what it costs, and we all agreed it did not feel like value for money. We will try it again before we look elsewhere because everything else was great.👍

Food was absolutely delicious. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Lovely place to give for a meal.

Sunday lunch was fab. Great dinner, lots of choice, amazing pigs in blankets and very warm and welcoming staff.

Lovely welcome good range of beers and a decent Cider on tap

Lovely little pub full of quirky decor, good music and a large selection of bevs

Good location, lovely back garden, good sized car park. Perfect.

Nice village pub. The food was okay. As was the service.

Went there yesterday , lovely atmosphere , and the sunday lunch was fantastic .Lots of meat , and lovely atmosphere,vegetables and presentation was 10 out of 10 .Took some one, who had not been there before, and he said, he would go there again Deserts were just as good .

Booked a meal for my sisters birthday.. very friendly staff..food and atmosphere very nice and would recommend.

The salt and pepper pots hadn't been checked as 2 pots were empty and dirty. The prices on the menu didnt correspond with what they were charging and when I ordered a drink at the table, it didnt arrive and I had to go up to the bar and remind them though this was then excluded from the bill. The food was fairly average. Wouldn't bother again.

Fantastic meal love the steak deals good atmosphere

Friendly staff, excellent food , highly reccomend

Very welcoming old public house. Great atmosphere

I went hear bonfire night the landlord as got a attitude problem with strangers if you are not local then avoid the landlord thinks he's a hard man and keeps staring at outsiders avoid
