Royal Oak Inn in Teignbridge

Thank you to Freya , Marissa and all the staff who made a difficult day better[ mum's funeral].You were so welcoming to everyone and it was all so well organised. The pub was warm and cosy and the buffet was delicious.

Great local pub, friendly atmosphere, always loads going on each week. Friendly staff, good drinks selection, food is great. Can’t knock it. By far the best pub in Exminster.

Went as The DSFSCB were playing A very friendly

Great good and a great Elvis we really enjoyed our evening

Good quality typical pub food classics. Nice to have a pub in Exminster worthy of dining at. Good job handling a party of 10 of us too.

Very friendly, had a quick refreshing drink after our walk. Thanks.

***Original post was made over 3 years ago, when previous management was in place. The new owners have just (after 3 years) responded. Please note this review was made under previous management. *** Called in for some lunch, really lovely, warm welcoming place, proper family feel! Service was brilliant, nice friendly hello and smile when we walked in. The food was amazing! Fish finger sandwich and pulled bbq pork loaded fries! 😍🐷 We got chatting with the owner, who took over the pub during lockdown, well worth the visit!

Attended a community event. The atmosphere was great as always. No food from the kitchen today. BBQ in the garden but I didn't have any so can't comment.

I can only think that ‘ Maddius “The G.O.A.T” Mahdi‘ was in a different Royal Oak, if he wasn’t, his review is a pack of lies!! The staff at the Royal Oak in Exminster are, without exception, the happiest, kindest and friendliest band of super people I’ve ever met. They all go out of their way to ensure people of all ages are included, assisted and welcomed. Mel and Scott ensure that the pub is run as an asset to the village.

was staying at luccombes fishery went here for an evening meal was a lovely atmosphere food and service was great highly recommended 🍻

Terrible attitude of staff and management. They were being abusive to someone else, when I intervened they became very hostile and threatening to me. Very unprofessional indeed. With the pub trade in the state it is in, aggressive and arrogant behaviour such as what I have experienced will probably result in another closure, to which on this occasion I shall say 'good riddance'! Avoid at all costs.

Very nice wine and great beer warm welcome and helpful staff. Enough space inside and out to feel safe at this time.

Food was very mid. Bingo on a Sunday afternoon??? Roasties weren’t crispy. No pease, only served kale as the greens. Cold. And no sauce or deserts. Understaffed Served me a 0% drink when I asked a Heineken

Great local Pub. Will be going back soon, with friends for a meal.

Really friendly local pub with great family atmosphere.

Great food at a great price, friendly staff and live music in the night. Great night.

Good friendly pub we definitely be going back there.

Great outdoor area where the kids can play. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great for parties. Unfortunately this Pub seems to change management every year or two

Excellent staff, friendly management perfect for kids and amazing entertainment!! The all round perfect village pub 👍

What a great find, we live in Dawlish and this was our first time here. Staff and locals really friendly and welcoming. The food was good value. Will definitely be back!

Mel, Scott and the team have created a super friendly and social local pub. There are regular events and bands to cater for all. It’s also a family friendly pub and they go above and beyond to consider families in their events too. Fabulous customer service and atmosphere - you won’t be disappointed

Nice beer selection & good atmosphere. Food is below par but this is down to the brewery owners rather than management.

Great atmosphere, really nice and friendly staff. Lots of seating indoors and outside. Great play area for kids and nice and secure fencing. Great for being in the sunshine. Sits on a quiet road just outside Exeter centre on route to dawlish. I’ll be coming back here with my son for sure. The locals mention that the food is really good too. Good for watching sport. Defibrillator attached to wall outside front.

Brilliant village pub with a real good atmosphere love it

The Royal Oak is a lovely place to eat, drink and socialise. The food is cooked to a lovely standard (I've tried a few different items and I have a very fussy child). The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is great, child friendly with a play area and dog friendly.

Great food, we love the pies, friendly staff with a nice atmosphere

Popped in on a trip nice pub well kept food prices very good

No Royals or Oaks. Food was pretty King though.

Stayed nearby and popped in for a pint in the lovely beer garden one day and came back for Sunday lunch the next. The British F1 race was on and they were very accommodating, finding us a space to watch it even though they had a singer on in another room. Great food and service.

Lovely looking pub, just a shame they won't accommodate clients wishes I guess it's down to management or brewery who owns them 😕 Explanation- tried to get a small drop of Guinness to make my cocktail perfect. They refused because everything is measured....

Stopped off for lunch on the way back from Exeter. Really friendly welcome by lovely staff, owner and local regulars. Food was top notch and great value. Got introduced to Inch’s cider which was really nice 😉. Dog friendly - owner has shih tzu’s. Highly recommended for food and drinking.

Caesar salad is mentioned on their menu as pub classic dish but I had no chance to try it there due to the lack of lettuce

Visited on a weekend for lunch. We all had a very nice burger & chips, as this was the only option available on the menu. The pub itself was tastefully decorated & friendly. Hopefully next time we visit there will be more menu options available.

Friendly family pub, great food, great atmosphere.

great pint of tribute, shame about the result from the game I went to watch. the menu looks good, will be going to eat there soon

Food is really good value for money, especially in this day and age,the steak is especially good for under £15, really pleasant staff and a well stocked bar

Excellent food. Will definitely come back

Great pub, friendly landlady and staff, I highly recommend the Royal Oak to anybody.

It's a great local, we had a couple of drinks, played Pool and had a game of darts. Landlord was polite and welcoming. We had a great time.

A lovely, warm and friendly pub with good food at a reasonable price. Made to feel welcome as soon as you walk in with all the locals talking to you.

Welcoming staff, excellent food and relaxed atmosphere, just what you want from your local.

It's ok, budget food menu, very cheap, service is slow and somewhat lacking. Nice clean and tidy pub, quite cosy. Don't go here for qualify food, but ok for cheap bar snacks.

Quite enjoyed the fish and chips. Really quite cheap(£11.50) and cooked well. Selection of beers on tap and in fridge was lacking. Nice friendly staff.
