Royal Oak in Stockport

We attended my cousin's birthday bash. Had a brilliant evening

Lovely local, pleasant staff good ale good food.

Nice atmosphere with comfortable seating and affordable drinks.

Great pub, hosts are the best Dot and Nick.

Nice atmosphere and very good surrounding

Didn't have food just drinks. Very friendly staff. Made us very welcome

All ways friendly and welcoming

Had the beef and Stilton pie. Best ever!! Beautiful..Lasagne and chorizo fabulous. Obviously home cooked. Great service and so friendly. Highly recommended and food such a high standard. Get yourself there!..Also dog friendly and able to sit outside under a massive awning if prefer to inside. Lovely walks behind pub and 1.5mile walk from Bullyard campsite.

Great little pub, lovely staff, nice beers and a great atmosphere 😊 Also you have to try Rocco's pizza every Thursday. I think it's all about the dough and it's lovely 🍕👌

Went in for the first time recently and been back since, nice traditional pub and good service 👍

Lovely, dog friendly pub! First time we've been and we received a very warm welcome, friendly service, nice atmosphere. They even served us up with some complimentary chip butties! Will definitely come back :)

Nice pub. Went there to play pool. Pool table has a few issues but pub is nice

What a wonderful pub and very friendly

Excellent landlords and staff, always busy. 👍🏻

Great pub, nice decor, lovely welcome. Spotless. Will definately return.

Nice tidy pub, recently refurbished. Dartboard, pool table, sky tv, seating inside and out. It’s a great place to while away an evening.

the staff are quite hostile, when walking in the bar staff immediately snapped at me and looked as if they didn't want me there. the location is good though.

Enjoyed a 21+1 birthday party at the Royal Oak Hotel. Had a brilliant night. Great atmosphere, friendly staff what more can you ask for 👍

Great atmosphere, food was fresh and tasty, especially the duck spring roll starter !! Service was brilliant and prompt.. and a great pint too !! This was my first time visiting the royal oak and ill definitely be back !!

Cracking family boozer cheapest round the area karaoke on a Friday everyone gets involved and no knob heads in there

Best landlady in town.she is brill.always full of fun

Loved this place so much, I'm trying to find an excuse to go back soon. Great atmosphere, lovely staff.

Royal Oak is a great place to visit whether you live local or passing through, always a warm welcome and friendly hosts, the pub is clean and tidy and the prices are really low in comparison to the other pubs in the area, well done Dot and Nick

One of the best pubs in High Lane Great range of beers and lagers with bar food, all at very reasonable prices The new landlords have worked really hard to build up trade and attract new customers A pub of character A warm welcome guaranteed

Superb pub nick dot lovely couple beer spot on

It's a great pub nick and Dot are great

Cosy traditional pub, lovely home made pea and ham soup and great service.

Food was fabulous and the staff very friendly would go back

Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Friendly pub. Definitely worth more than one visit!!

Absolutely fantastic pub, went for darts match landlady lovely down to earth.

Absolutely belting family friendly xxx

I'm from Germany and twice a year here in Stockport for my boyfriends Parents. And i love to have a pint or two of Stella Artois in this beautiful and lovely Pub. The Staff is very friendly and its really nice to sit inside or outside when the Sun is shining.

Good food, great beer, friendly people.

Lovely pub. Nice people. Why have we not been here before? The food is well done and reasonably priced. Not a huge menu but proper food. Very nice.

We were out there walking and while this group were a bit off putting, we put our snobbery aside and gave it a go, we had a great afternoon, nice food, good beer and a friendly couple behind the bar.

Great pup very smart & good beer

Expected a Marstons menu which has good vegetarian options. Unfortunately no menu, just a basic one veggie option. Just Marstons beer. Otherwise, friendly patron, smallish bar.

Stopped off for lunch yesterday and the pub was quiet, however the food was excellent. The food was home cooked and prepared fresh and the landlord and landlady very friendly. Give it a try and you will not be dissapointed.

Had a lovely time tonight I was served my a lady named steph and she was amazing, her customer service was second to none and she is a credit to the company’

Excellent pub.homemade food and real ale.

Good food, real ale, dog and child friendly

Sadly this place has had a succession of managers who haven't been able to get it off the ground, however I now think this couple have started to turn the pub around. They have a small menu at the moment during the week plus Sunday lunch. Nick and Dot are hard working and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Yesterday with friends we tried the home made cheese and onion and the mince beef pies, both were delicious, will definitely be eating there more often. The pub is also dog and walker friendly and there is seating outside.

A lot better than it used to be under last landlord full refurb also very welcoming place👍

Decent venue with a 50p pool table, staff could be friendlier

Well what can I say! Just taken my daughter and granddaughter out for mothers day meal & food was amazing - full Sunday roast & choice of puddings - we had cheesecake & ice cream. Pub is lovely and spotless with beer garden at front & rear. And hosts Nick & Dot gave us a real welcome.. Deffo be going back..& highly recommend for food at very reasonable prices.

Great ales and great food , will return when up that way again

Great new hosts running the place. Great food and beer!!! That's all u need!!! 🎉😜

Great couple and fantastic food.

We have used this pub for many years but it has had its ups and downs, more downs would I say. We have even been kicked out by previous owners who didnt have a clue, the last lot lasted a few weeks and now oh yes now I am very hopeful. They have not been in long, seem to keep good beer and have a small menu of about 4 items (ignore the phote of the menu}but it is homed cooked and the cheese pie was lovely. Best food we have eaten in there for some time. So I am hopeful. We will try more of the food week by week and review again

Quiet and cosy pub with darts and pool.

Going past with my wife and thought we would stop for a beer. The beer it's self was very drinkable and the pub very homely BUT . When we went in there were three men stood at the bar and we got our drinks and sat around the corner from the bar but we could easily hear the foul language that was coming out of their mouths F ing this and F ing that . Now I am not a snob but I do not use language like that in front of my wife and would not use language like that in front of their wives it is time that they realised that it is a public house and not a building site. The pub I would give 3 stars the clientele aren't worth commenting on

After many failed tenancies of this pub we are hopeful. Small Italian with English twist menu.. Very welcoming and lasagne was excellent. Food took a time but chef had done it from fresh. Its early days but I am hopeful and can't fault the food.

Nice place. Good beer and staff

A group of Canasta players have patronised this pub for many years and some have eaten there for many years through its management ups and downs. Alas no more we have been removed cos we don't drink enough. Many are pensioners and only have one drink in the two hours. 4.or 5 of us have eaten there for years and have bills of £20 to £25 per couple most weeks. Alas they don't want our trade so we bid Farewell. Would love to see who is going to replace us.

Great pub, dogs welcome, well stocked bar and lovely landlord.

Fairly nicely decorated, as a sole customer at two in the afternoon, the music was too loud and certainly not to my taste, a couple of nice beers on, that's about it.this was written before the new tenants took over, much nicer atmosphere in the pub now, and still a good choice of beers!

Craig and Hannah have recently taken over at the Oak and they are pulling all the stops out to breathe some life back into the pub. We use it every fortnight for our U3A backgammon meetings and there is always a welcoming reception for us. I will be trying the food this evening. Call in after a Middlewood Way walk or bike ride, you won't regret it.

Just had a lovely meal at the Royal oak, I had fish chips n peas, asked for the fish to be cooked a but more as I like my batter crunchy, was cooked to perfection, I do how ever like my Chip's to be crunchy also but they did pass, well done to the cook, lovely settings, lovely pub, and lovely landlord and landlady Craig n hannah.going to make this a regular visit.

The burger, priced at a hefty £8.95 was a 'handmade' and tiny burger on a cheap shop bought roll. The chips, chunky and deep fried, not long enough the first time around, and a side of coleslaw that didn't seem all that appetising. Having complained about the quality I was told "you got what you asked for. It comes with either chips or salad and that's what you got." legally correct, morally questionable. You pay that price you want something tasty and edible. By the time it came back with cooked chips the burger was hard, the bun solid in places and a limp salad chucked on as an appeaser The soup of the day, a can of soup and a slice of really cheap bread. £5.95?! I will not be returning for food. That said, the Beer was good, the bar staff lovely.

Just been to the royal oak had a lovely meal all homemade food great prices for what you get..had the creamy garlic mushrooms and homemade soup for starters then gammon and fish for main..The landlord and landlady very welcoming and great garden out back definitely will be returning in the near future.

Had a lovely home made meal at the Royal Oak Hotel. Myself and my mum had the fish and chips and it was lovely. All freshly battered in the kitchen. I'm so happy they serve gluten free battered fish because it's so hard to find some where that does a good tasty range of gluten free food. My little boy also loved the chicken nuggets made with proper chicken pieces. The landlord and landlady are so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend a visit to this pub

Friendly welcome ,good food, well worth the money .

A lovely nice clean pub with great beer ales,lagers.

Random stop. What a lovely wee place. Very welcoming and friendly. Cheapest ‘large’ Pinot Grigio iv had 👍 Even the cocktails and beer is incredibly cheap. To add the whole pub and toilets are beautifully clean. Must try the food sometime if the drinks & the cleanliness is spot on I’m sure the food will be too.

I am hopeful. Had one nice meal here and hopeful for the new owners. Nice couple who have just got food on and a basic menu to start. Had the fish and chips... Was OK. Fingers crossed for them, give it a whirl it looks promising

comfortable place and pleasant staff good beer happy days 😀

Good refurbishment They are trying hard...

New Landlord... Nicely kept beer.

Greatly improved ? Under new management. Bar meals nicely served and tasty.

Cook and I was sorted that guy who sorted it was the grandson of a guy o was working for so when you have a rough estimate of what

Nice beer, choice of 3 different real ales. Friendly locals, comfy surroundings. Dogs welcome.

Great pub. Very welcoming and a good selection of food and drink.

End Feb - New landlady very sociable and renovation A1 Mid-March - came back to eat ... delicious the mixed grill almost beat Barry but he struggled on! Really lovely home cooked food .. we'll done

Went today .. to be told food doesn't start tI'll 2pm as no body comes in til then??? Brand new refurb, what is the point? Went to the Boars and it was rammed and there was a queue when he opened up. Big mistake having people walk in then out because they won't go back. I might coz I'm local. The three stars are for decor and past merits

Great night good music and friendly people

The cold, washed out pale colour of the refurbished pub rather reflected the frostiness of, presumably, the landlady as we entered the restaurant on a Sunday. The three of us were just choosing from the prominently displayed blackboard menu by the bar, which looked very good. The frosty faced landlady (she never once smiled during our visit) barked "Sunday Lunch only!" with no apology for the fact they were displaying an alternative menu. That was a shame as we wanted to order from the inviting menu by the bar and didn't really want Sunday Lunch but decided to stay as we already had drinks. What a mistake! The meats were obviously not roasted and sliced on the premises, portions of meat and even the overcooked cabbage and carrots were by no means generous, although there were more of the lumpy mashed potato and flabby roast potatoes. It was all drowned in the most odd tasting gravy. To add insult to injury, on the next table to us they were being served sandwiches and chips although we had been told Sunday Roast only! Although the landlord tried hard to be friendly, this amateurish effort at Sunday Roast has left us not wanting to chance our luck to return to try the normal weekday menu.

It's OK. Had a Sunday roast there. The slices of meat weren't the best but was still £10.

Just stopped here tody for Sunday lunch, I had the turkey and my partner had the lamb, both excellent, fresh and home cooked, nice and hot. The pub has new owners and it has been done up, I would say it is worth a visit - we shall return. Good prices, plenty of parking.

Lovely friendly pub superb atmosphere and was lucky enough to be there on a day the choir turn up once a a year beautiful refurbishment and Tony the new landlord is an excellent host lovely place to chill out and meet new friends clean and tidy

This pub as been refurbished nice home made cooked food served Daley pub classics top cask ales beer top line of Gins

Good atmosphere, friendly Staff, immaculate just been refurbished. Highly recommend.

Today is the 21st December, 2017. I agree completely with an earlier critic, who said that the Royal Oak was previously filthily horofic. Yes it was, and my wife and I stopped going there about 12 months ago. Today, however, after hearing that the management had changed, we called-in for lunch.

When is the pub the opening ???

Crikey, what a place. We were both served with dirty glasses and took them back to the bar and was horrified to see the man who was apparently the landlord simply pour our drinks into two wet glasses straight off the draining board! One of those was dirty too but we didn't bother saying anything as the ogre behind the bar looked like he'd swallowed a wasp. Quick visit to the toilets on the way out and they were disgusting. AVOID.

Stopped here for a drink whilst enjoying the middlewood way. Dated interior but quirky and authentic. Not many places like this around anymore. Good cheap drinks and a smiley face behind the bar.

Mainly locals pub, good selection of ales from the Marstons stable. Handy for Middlewood Way.

Good little pub. Not fancy, but really nice foos

Great staff, great laugh deffo will be back. Great bunch of punters aswell

Great cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff and customers. Very welcoming.

Nice lady serving. Clean place with TV in every wall for footy. Burger chips and pint for 10 pounds. Close to middlewich way.

good choice of real ale, good food and good atmosphere

Lovely pub to visit whilst walking/cycling on The Middlewood Way. Delicious food and very dog and child friendly.
