The Royal Oak in Leeds

Great little pub, welcoming with good beer, can't ask for more

Booked a twin room for two nights. Excellent value for me and my son, £120. The facilities and room was spotless, with plenty of soap and shampoo. There is a free car park opposite as there is no parking on site. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the ale on offer is well priced and delicious. The A1M is 5 minutes away, with Harrogate around 20 minutes drive.

I was travelling to a course and needed a place to stay the night before. This was great, the staff were friendly, the premises was lean and welcoming and the room was big enough for three. Only down side was that they did not do food but the chippy next door sorted that.

Its a great traditional pub, good atmosphere, good beer and a warm and friendly welcome, very nice staff and management too. Highly recommended.

Booked a room for two nights over the telephone, arrived to be told no booking. Spoiling a complete bank holiday weekend getaway and our plans. Incredibly disappointing.

Good value big bedroom and bathroom, Plenty of tea tray products and shower gel etc, Barman prob owner was very nice, Relaxed place, Had a drink in the big beer garden. Lovely plant pots and two chickens and a duck in a run bottom of garden, Went to see the pets got chased by the duck protects the hens , lol, Had a good stay nofood served but nice cafe over the road and pub down the road had a meal there, would stay again bed and pillows comfy , very cheap room paid,

Uncomplicated boozer ,has beer garden where you can take the mutt.

Basic, but clean rooms. Scott was friendly and welcoming.

Stayed here loads of times, handy for coming off the motorway for a stop over. With a petrol station beside it to fuel up

I stayed for 5 nights. Saw there were some mixed reviews, so didn't quite know what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised and it turned out to be just what I needed. I know Wetherby and chose the Royal Oak for its location. I didn't have a car and it's easy to get to Leeds and Harrogate on the bus. The room was quiet and spacious with plenty of light and private shower room. Soap, shower gel and shampoo provided. Bed was comfortable enough. I particularly appreciated the fact that there was a kettle, crockery & cutlery, tea, coffee, milk & sugar. On the down side: couldn't regulate the heating so sometimes had to open the window, Wifi worked but signal was weak in the room. TV wasn't working very well but was told this would be fixed. Cleanliness - room for a bit of improvement in the bathroom. Pub's rubbish dump at side of building a bit of an eyesore... Only went to the Pub downstairs once which seemed quite cosy and friendly. All in all, excellent location and value and would return.

Came into bar so girlfriend could use the toilet. Sign on the door said only customers can use the toilet. Went to bar to buy £2.50 half pint of coke to use the toilet. Lady behind the bar poured drink. Didnt have cash, tried to pay on card. She said i had to buy a full pint to pay on card. Refused to pay for a full pint. Walk to the door to leave. Woman came over grabbed me by the hoody and dragged me behind the bar until i had paid. Wouldnt go here again. Filed a report with local police. Unacceptable behaviour.

AVOID like the plague!! Lady working behind the bar assaulted and held my friend captive behind the bar and extorted money from him. He bought a drink whilst his girlfriend used the toilet however they would not let him pay £2.50 on card; that was his only form of payment. Sickening behaviour over a 2.50 drink he did not even consume, got dragged by his neck and held with force behind the bar. WOULD NEVER RETURN!! Reported to the police.

Room was brilliant, much better than expected and bed was comfy. Price was amazing for somewhere to stay for the night. Checking out was…strange. Sunday morning trying to check out and the pub is locked and we cannot get out or hand out key back in, no sign of anyone and ringing the number was directly for the pub so that was no help. Ended up using a fire door and left the key on the side as we went out. I sent an email as we had no idea how to get out and I’ve still had to reply 3 days later. Don’t think it’s really professional to not give people staying any information on the check out process or even be on the premises for check out.

Lovely little bar stopped for a pint when going to fish an chip shop next door really nice staff

This place is not the Savoy, but what The Royal Oak is, is incredible value for money, run and staffed by genuine, lovely people and very friendly clientele. You don't get a chocolate on your pillow or big fluffy white towels but you are left wanting for nothing else (you are provided with towels, obviously). Great beer in the bar, clean and well equipped rooms and even plates and cutlery should you wish to bring a takeaway back to your room. Great chippy next door (more lovely people), a tasty Indian restaurant just a short walk away. Brilliant location for visiting York or Leeds, although Wetherby also has a lot to offer. I've stayed here a few times on business and will continue, let's support these small independents who do appreciate the custom. Did I say they do Great beer?

Lovely old traditional pub with a great big friendly dog. Couple of good ales on, and plenty of seating inside.

The room we stayed in for 1 night (room 3) was so reasonably priced and we were both surprised at what we got for our money. It was clean, tidy and had comfortable beds. We had plenty of tea and coffee in the room , and soap, shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom. I can't fault anything. It didn't do food, but lots of cafes nearby. I will be coming back again when I next need to stay in Wetherby. Thank you Royal Oak. !

Lovely real pub, nice hosts & clientel.

Good location but that's about the only positive. Room (number 1) absolutely stank of cigarette smoke including sheets, towels, everything. Shower was broken and the shower cubicle itself was dirty. Grubby carpet and plastic cups provided were covered in grease/dirt. Would absolutely not recommend.

A rare find in a great location. Still a family run pub with friendly staff and regulars. I felt welcome instantly. Also with a great selection of beers and my favourite is how pet friendly it is 🐕🐕🤣👌👌 See you again soon

Great 'locals' pub...old fashioned 'boozer' Regulars , staff & landlord/landlady very welcoming 🍻👍

when we arrived we were informed there was no breakfast as advertised and also they didnt do food.the best was yet to come in the bedroom. sheets that looked like they were from the seventies, blue flowery and certainly hadnt been laundered since last occupants had used the room,they were creased and smelly,curtains were hanging of the rail,a really unpleasant experience. i was tempted to leave ten pounds for them to buy two sheets from tescos.

Nice friendly pub. Good beverages, clean and tidy decor. Limited parking

Great pub with nice atmosphere.

Booked for B/B through Agoda, the cost for this booking was taken days before the cancellation date, rather then paying on the day, on arrival we were informed that breakfast was not included, even though the ad stated breakfast. There was no teabags or milk in our room, for a hot drink only coffee and sugar, there was nobody about to ask for the missing items as it was 6.30am when we realised, so just left in disgust at the whole experience, the pictures that are shown on the advert look better then the room when had, which had old furniture and the carpets needed a good clean. Very disappointing experience.

Very good no problems at all no food on site no problems good food not far away good breast not far away

We left some valuable items and when calling 2 days later they had secured them anticipating our call. We appreciate their honest and very hospitable staff. Nice pub with friendly locals.

Very welcoming and pleasant staff.

Stayed 2 nights very spacious and comfortable rooms, great stay and great hosts 👍👍

This was a great place and the owner was brilliant. Thanks for your hospitality

Stayed 1 night. BEWARE. AWFUL. would rate it less than 1 star. taps on wash basin broken.and shower broken. shabby room with dubious colour grey/brown towels and brown/green check bedding! not white bedding although shows this on website. Cheerful landlord.

A rare proper, down to earth pub. There is always someone friendly to talk to. The best beer garden in Wetherby with its own resident chickens. A favourite for dog walkers as they are all welcome.

Very friendly pub nice warm cozy bar staff very friendly welcoming.

Really good landlord made us feel very welcome

traditional village pub good value and friendly staff beer garden and 3 letting bedrooms at reasonable rates

Always a good time in the Oak,and looked after by Scott and Emma.

The bar man brian was very good and attentive

Rang up to try and book a room , the person on the phone was rude and they don’t deserve there job #SackHim

Just what you want from a boozer, what gives it five stars, is the the friendliness of the staff, to the point of ordering a taxi for out of towners. Good job.

Friendly staff and great atmosphere

Lovely pub, always call here when we are in Wetherby. Excellent choice of beers, excellent staff.

Good old fashioned bar with great atmosphere

Great bar staff entertainment from the local customers

Friendly local always feel welcome

No atmosphere. Needs updating. High prices.

Fantastic traditional pub, staff were great and the punters were really friendly, when I'm next in Wetherby I will definitely be popping in again.

Great beer, proper town boozer. Cheap rooms, clean and tidy.

Freindly place. Accepted us Lancashire tourists with open arms.

Good pint sports channels and pool table no food though Good banter

It's a very Friendly welcoming place a good old fashioned pub and the beer isn't bad either

The lady behind the bar is an absolute disgrace. She is Rude and ignorant and really should re-think her career choice to mabey stacking shelves or watching paint dry, ANTYTHING that doesn’t require interacting with other humans! The last time I checked you went to public house to be greeted with friendly warm staff and receive excellent customer service! Word of warning, choose another pub, there are plenty in wetherby, so avoid this one like the plague. Don’t think the lady that works there likes new customers or god forbid you play pool on the pool table provided! It’s the 2nd time we have been and it will definitely be the last!

Popped in just before closing. Quiet at that time but was friendly and good pint

Friendly old fashioned pub. Unfortunately they put man’s football on, (will they show the women’s world cup next month I wonder?), very loudly. No warning sign to say that our drinks would be dominated by such a dim. 1 bottle of wine with no cooler (so got warm quickly) plus an orange juice and half a diet coke came to £17 which was your usual expensive Wetherby price. I was a bit disappointed by the overall experience - but it’s not far from the Park so maybe see if they have something a bit better value for money? I did like the fact it was dog friendly and children were welcome though

This a traditional Yorkshire town pub. Nothing special or unusual about it, but just a good pub. Very traditional style inside and very clean. Friendly welcoming service and some very nice real ales. This is what a Yorkshire pub should be. They also do food & accommodation but I was only here for a pint. And I will be back.

Very pleasant atmosphere and a friendly staff. Great old style pub.

Best place in wetherby for a pint and a chat with the locals

Friendly welcoming place great for a mid week drink

Friendly place, large warm room, lovely breakfast

Old fashioned, lovely and warm on a cold day with its open fire and friendly staff.

Good friendly pub and another good place to have a meal good value for your money

Cosey pub good beer garden and DOG FRIENDLY.

What a great pub and accommodation to every one the works their food great plenty on plate room very clean I us again over the year thanks

.......and it's friendly, warm, welcoming, and has a good selection of beers and lagers from cask and keg. Dog friendly, too - there were three or four wandering about; nice to see, The pub looks well-kept. I'd go back, given an opportunity.

Wonderful atmosphere, great host.

Great little traditional pub. Good prices too

Well I visited the other week and was pleasantly surprised the atmosphere is brilliant it's a typical local pub The food is very good service is very good prices are equally low to mid range it's very popular Well worth a visit because you will go again The bonus is the beers not bad either

The staff on a Sunday evening are always friendly. The garden area is pleasant, however the table and benches could do with a coat of paint.

One night was one night too many, the bedroom (no:1) was not clean and the basin in the en suite had NO plug. The plastic beakers were unclean with someone else's toothpaste remains. The television was minute and not modern, the teacups were doubtful regarding cleanness. The management had no facility to pay by either debit cards or credit cards and we were directed to the garage cash machine. Just no way to spend a night.

Nice for drink put could do with decor made brighter abit gloomy

Stayed here 4 nights & from the moment we walked thro the door we were made so welcome by landlord Scott & the locals.You can have B&B or room only & the cooked breakfast is plentiful & tasty.Large bedrooms with comfy beds.All the staff are really pleasant & helpful.Would definitely stay here again.Many thanks. Sylvia & Dave

Good old style public house good value good range of food and beer

Very friendly, clean with great value for money It's good to support small, independent businesses

Stayed here for one night while visiting my brother in York. Nice modern room at the back of the pub. Great breakfast. Staff very friendly. They weren't serving dinners when I was there, but easy to walk into town to find something (followed by after-dinner stroll to see the Tardis outside the police station :) It was perfect for what I wanted.

Spotless room a good pint followed by a good breakfast does not leave much else to desire. A two night stay was value for money and the Manager, Scott, the staff and locals made you very welcome. Would stay there again, there are only three rooms the only disappointment was no food available in the evenings although the web site shows a menu. No problem as there are other eateries nearby.

Nice laid back pub, good beer and friendly staff.

Wheelchair access is not easy but can be done. There's a number on the back gate to ring if you have problems opening the beer garden gate but I haven't tried it we managed to get in with one for held open. Beers are good will kept and three decent ales on offer. Staff are friendly a local pub where you are made welcome.

Gezellige oude Pub Kammers zijn goed alleen niet super schoon internet is aanwezig alleen niet op de kamer

Great breakfast ,the hospitality was very good made you very welcome .The pub is in a great location and just down the road you can have a lovely walk by the river .

Regularly pay a visit to this little pub and always get a warm welcome despite not using it for very long at all. They already know what I drink and as soon as I walk up to the bar I'm greeted with "pint of San Miguel?" Which is always a nice touch. The fires are always on which makes this place lovely and comfortable. All in all this place is what it is. A great little pub with no aires and graces an no delusions of grandeur. What it does, it does well.

I live in Leeds and arranged to meet some friends from the North East for lunch at the Royal Oak last Thursday based on their effusive website description and interesting menu. When we arrived we were informed they don't do lunches mid week!! Very embarrassing for me as I had organised the venue and also inconvenient as we then had to find an alternative at short notice.Luckily Wetherby has numerous options and we did not go hungry. The point is that destinations should keep their website information current and accurate.

Lovey traditional pub with an open fire. Had a lovely lunch which was all home made.The fish fingers were the best i have ever had.

Quiet by day Busy at night Small and intimate with Victorian character and feel Small beer garden but well laid out

Traditional British pub, friendly, decent beer yard and a range of well-kept beers. Recommended.

We meet friends who were staying in the pub for an evening meal. It was typical pub food , with large portions

Tomamos un almuerzo entre semana y disfrutamos de nuestra visita. No es un gran menú, pero una muy buena selección para elegir. Ofrecen porciones pequeñas, medianas y grandes, así que se suma a la elección. Una buena selección de bebidas. Los alrededores son del viejo estilo pub que es genial estos días de gastro pubs. Buena relación calidad-precio. También tienen una tarjeta de fidelización en oferta.

Visited this place on the spur of a moment. Fantastic Sunday dinner, management and staff couldn't do enough to make our visit enjoyable. Thanks Royal Oak, I will spread the word.

Fuimos a almorzar y estaba muy tranquilo. El entorno típico pub, oscuro y como pub bebiendo un buen viejo hombre que me hicieron dudar. Pero nosotros tratamos este por las críticas buenas. Estábamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho, torta de carne y puré de patatas fritas (sustituido por el) era deliciosa, tierna carne, mantequilla puré suave y mucha salsa! Mi marido duplicó su hamburguesa y dijo que era una de las mejores catas burger ha tenido en mucho tiempo! Con los niños comiendo gratis esta fue una muy buena relación calidad-precio y comida muy sabrosa en £27 con bebidas para una familia de cuatro. Lo recomendaría! Ver a través de las viejas y gastadas interior! Servicio amable y buena también conseguir!

We stayed here as the Tour De Yorkshire passes the pub. We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay as both staff & locals were very friendly. Our room was clean & warm with everything we needed provided. LOVELY cooked breakfast with plenty of choice. We'd definitely stay again as it's a perfect location for visiting York, Harrogate & North Yorkshire.

We stopped in Wetherby for a spot lunch on our way to the north east coast.We were greeted with a lovely warm welcome and a fuss made over our dog.The menu was home cooked comfort food at its best , we had liver and onions on mustard mash that was cooked to perfection and so tasty!The homemade pie was to die for.They also offer small portions of their main dishes which was perfect for lunch and still plentiful.Lovely beer garden at the back.We will definitely visit again if we are ever in the area!

Came to meet with friends, choose here as It was half way for both... Couldn't of picked a better venue, fast friendly service,amazing food and great banter. Couldn't do enough for us.. We were quite a large party but service didn't suffer at all. Great with the kids (who eat free if under 10) and it has a beer garden.... Boom!!! what more can you ask for... Perfect.

Went to Royal Oak for Sunday lunch, well what a surprise Andy was there from Bay Horse. So I new it was going to be good.I was there with my family we all had roast beef large of course,which was cooked to perfection with 3 yorkies.Then to follow we had three cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding all with cream and ice cream.The service was five star,could not fault anything well done.Will be back.......

I came here for mothers day with my family. We all had excellent food 2 of us had the godfather burger which were and looked amazing and the rest had Sunday dinners which were presented beautifully. Definitely the best I've had eating out. Good size choice and a good selection of meals available for all. Front of house team gave us amazing service very polite and helpful. Definitely worth a visit. Can't wait to go back again! !!!

Great to see Andy back in action excellent varied menu Fabulous Sunday lunch great service Good attention to detail

good food and now and again live entertainmentA large selection of beers on offer and good place to eat

Two of us have just had 2 nights in this accommodation. It is located very well being only a 5 minute walk to the square where there are a variety of pubs and restaurants. The room we had was lovely and quite large. The staff were all lovely and friendly and couldnt do enough for us. the Breakfast both mornings was very nice. I would recommend this hotel

We didn't have the best welcome as the young man behind the bar was obviously doing his first shift - there was no welcome, he had no idea of what was for sale, whether they were serving meals and no urgency in anything. I hope he has settled in rather better by now! What was more disappointing was that the landlord was standing at the end of the bar but made no effort to save the occasion.No matter, we were hungry and the pub conveniently located opposite a free car park.Turning away from the bar we noticed that the pub itself has clearly seen better days and is in need of a good clean and tidy up - repairs to fabrics etc and we wondered just what we'd let ourselves in for. Having said that, the food was quite good (enjoyed my Apple & Black Pudding Stack) and came quickly via the landlord.A visit to the loos indicated another area where refurbishment would be welcome!I'm sure the kitchens are in fact clean, but when the public areas are poorly presented, it doesn't create the best of impressions.

Very nice friendly pub an good food
