Royal Oak in Derbyshire Dales

This is an absolute gem of a pub. They have a wide and constantly changing range of beers. All beautifully kept and served by a friendly and extremely knowledgeable landlord and staff. Certain worth a detour to visit. There is a wide range of whiskeys behind the bar as well. And they host music events in a function room.

no nonsense chat dominated pub serving good quality beers and wines. Landlord on site serving so no ambiguity.

Lovely pub and friendly atmosphere and staff. Good beer selection. It reminds me of how local Pubs used to be!

Called in the other night after easily booking a table just incase and the weather looked dodgy. Excellent beer and very welcoming friendly table service. Just great to be able to have the indoor option, buy also looking forward to some outdoor nights before long.

The best pub in Wirksworth, friendly staff, good beer and a comfortable berth amidst all the coronavirus craziness.

After staying in Wirsworth for the weekend we ventured out for some drinks and went into the Royal Oak for a few drinks. Everyone inside the pub was really welcoming and the drinks were incredibly well priced. An amazing selection of whiskey too. A real traditional pub and real cosy setting.

The Royal Oak is a great, cosy pub in Wirksworth. Always a wonderful selection of ales and excellent Whiskey's. A warm welcome awaits and there are also some regular music nights. Not to be missed !

Warm welcome from all the staff. Food excellent with a fabulous choice. Chose the ploughman enough to share. Yum

Popped in here for a drink on Friday evening. Really warm welcome by the Landlord and locals friendly too. Lovely traditional little pub with a cosy real fire. Good beer! Well worth a visit.

Always a great selection of ales, wines, and if you are a fan of a tot of whiskey or two, then you are in for a real treat, lovely beer garden and dog friendly too. Great place and a tip top boozer. Well done.

Wonderful unspoilt pub, situated on North End in Wirksworth. A great selection of real ale, and at the end of the bar a guest craft keg. Look out for the range of Whiskeys available. Beer garden found through the archway to the side of the pub.

Very friendly staff and locals. Beer kept really well. Be aware of limited opening hours. Off the main track but worth seeking out.

Great little traditional pub on a side Street in this fabulous and quaint Derbyshire Dales/Peak District town. Wirksworth is absolutely gorgeous with a good selection of excellent cafes,bistros, pubs and independent shops. The Royal Oak fits right in!

A cosy, friendly characterful pub offering a good range of beers and lager. Evokes all the atmosphere of the Dale's and also has outside space (why not have a game of boules?) if the weather permits.

Visited here, for the first time, on a Friday night. This is a superb, old-fashioned, proper pub situated on a side street very close to the centre of town. Very friendly with the landlord making an effort to speak to us. There was a good fire in the main bar. I had a excellent pint of Super Fortress, a ruby beer. There's also a really quaint-looking side room that has a pool table. All in all, a great find in a lovely, unspoilt Derbyshire town.

Lovely friendly owners who have a great sense of humour and are very welcoming. Local people friendly and talkative. Very quaint pub inside and out. Great beer garden. Good beer. Dogs welcome. Would highly recommend.

The Royal Oak is truly unique. The landlord is a master of his craft and provides the best kept hand pulled ales in town. The clientele is a great hodge podge from all walks of life. No television or sound ststem means that the main entertainment is the conversations and interactionswith the other punters - some of the most interesting people you'll meet !

Very welcoming pub. Good music nights, beers and boules. Friendly locals and a great atmosphere. Check on opening times to avoid disappointment.

A traditional Pub with a warm friendly welcome, a good choice of real ales and a selection of spirits. I like to visit when the Wirksworth area to again experience a truly traditional Pub.

This pub doesn't open until 9pm then it comes alive. It's a real pub with good beers and a cosy atmosphere.

Really one of the friendliest pubs I've been in for a long time. Great host and friendly locals. Good range of real ales and whisky.

Went for a few drinks after dinner, friendly and warm. Enjoyed the night. Owner was really nice and everyone was friendly.

If you want to go to great little pub in wirksworth this could be for you. It doesn't open until 8pm each night. They do not do hot food. They have an excellent range of fine ales. It's like walking back in time there's no duke box or gambling machines. It's a very friendly and warm place.

good choice of real ales in the hidden away small pub,decent range of guest ales served by friendly staff,and plenty to look at with the collection of key rings,opens at 8pm.

One of our favourite pubs in Wirksworth. This is a proper local pub, welcoming to friends and strangers, residents and visitors. It is often busy, bucking the trend of declining pubs. The beers are great, change regularly, even on the same night. Some are brewed by the landlord. There is a good range of malt whiskies, they change regularly too. If you want to get to know the spirit of Wirksworth, the Royal Oak is a good place to begin.

Beautiful pub amazing beer and lovely people. Excellent friendly people the staff helped to select beer and wines just a lovely experience!

Decided to give this place a try as we were spending the evening in quirky Wirksworth. Pub isn't far from better known Red Lion on the high street. We managed to get a seat but after having a couple of drinks we decided to leave because it was getting busy and people wanted to sit right on top of us which may be alright for some but not for us!

Excellent character filled local pub with superb range of beers. Always on are Bass Timothy Taylor Landlord and Hartington IPA. Plus 2 guests. Only food are filled rolls. Opening hours are limited to 8pm onwards 7 days a week plus Sunday lunchtime.

Interesting local, in a time warp. There can't be many pubs that don't appear to have changed since the 1970's but this has to be one. Traditional cluttered interior. Decent range of real ales, and other beers, plenty of snacks, and a good welcoming 'locals' atmosphere. Bar staff helpful and welcoming. There's a beer garden (more of a yard really) out at the back where there are occasionally musicians strumming their stuff. Restricted opening times means you might have to plan your visit back to rustic utopia of 1976.

This delightful little pub, excellent selection of traditional ales . Fantastic atmosphere.. Really popular venue for locals and visitors alike. Proper pub just like they used to be!!

This is a vibrant little pub on one of the back streets of Wirksworth. There is always a good selection of beers and basic pub snacks,
