Visited again for their excellent Sunday roast dinner. 3 had the Beef and Yorkshire pud and one had the lamb. Served with tray of fresh vegetables, we asked instead of new potatoes can we have peas, no issue at all. Loafs fabulous tasting gravy and everything was delicious. We all had pudding, two had the sticky toffee pudding one with ice cream and the other with pouring cream. I had the apple pie and custard and other had the ice cream sundae. Service with a smile and has to be the best value Sunday roast and puds in Neston area.

Brilliant local pub . Wish I lived closer . Staff are very welcoming . Much better than any weather spoons or green king . And to be honest I’d rather spend my money here than at some over priced gastro pub . The chips are much better than any gastro pub anyway .

The royal oak is a proper pub, with a nice friendly atmosphere and fun banter. Food is great value, the menu has something to suit all tastes, prices are very good, staff are lovely and friendly and go the extra mile. Well worth a visit if in the area, we went for Sunday lunch and each of the group enjoyed their meal, puddings are a must. No queuing at the bar to order food, it's table service. Will be back soon for another feast

Stopped off here for lunch while walking the Wirral Way. So glad we did as the food was very fresh and tasty. With generous portions, friendly staff and a chilled atmosphere it was perfect for us. I would highly recommend the Royal Oak.

Eaten twice more at the Royal Oak since our visit on early June - Amazing Sunday lunch and a fabulous lunch baguette and home made chips, Saturday lunch time we stopped by and i had the beef and onion baguette - wow and wow - packed with beef and super gravy served with chips - which are fabulous home made type, Husband had the double burger and chips. Excellent value and quality too. Also had another Sunday lunch here in July - fabulous value with loads of veggies and two types of potatoes.

This pub doesn't look much from the outside, but it hides a hidden gem. Food gorgeous, piping hot and cheap. Proper home made chips, not frozen. Staff lovely, especially Danny, Claire, John and Barry. Other staff lovely too. Would highly recommend this fab pub. 10/10.

Great Food Best place for food in the area

Ate again at the Oak - food is all home cooked and is excellent. Steak meal is the best value on the Wirral. Under £15 for Rump steak, mushrooms, the best homemade chips you will taste, paid extra for peppercorn sauce - cooked as you like it. 3 of us had the steak and one had the cod and chips - the cod is excellent. we all had puddings to follow - super value - included the Sundae, sticky toffee pudding and chocolate fudge cake. Service friendly and car park on site.

Lovely & welcoming environment, great service, competitively priced food and drink with huge portions! Proper “home made” and hearty meals! Feels like a classic “old” pub, family run business!!

Fabulous Sunday dinner again at the Royal Oak. We both had the beef - comes with roasties and Yorkshire pudding. Served separately - new potatoes and 2 veg plus gravy boat with fabulous gravy. Nice friendly atmosphere and such good value with no compromise on quality or portion size. Puddings only £3.25 each - amazing value. I had Rhubarb and apple crumble with custard and husband had sticky toffee pudding - both tasted fabulous. Large car park and seating areas at front and back with children's play area. Bus stop for numbers 487 and 22 right outside. Dogs allowed outside only.

Eaten here a few times since last review. Had the steak meal on one visit with family and Sunday Roast on another. Food portions are generous and such good value. Puddings are amazing value - cheapest on the Wirral without compromising on quality or portion size. Sunday Lunch served with roast - new potatoes - two veg - lashings of gravy The Royal Oak do the best home made chips you will ever taste - they are amazing,.

Good old fashioned Sunday roast at an incredibly fair price and with a very warm welcome too. We went at the start of the lunchtime session but every table was occupied by the time we left. I'm hardly surprised and we will definitely go back.

First time at this boozer, went for breakfast, everything about this place was excellent, would definitely recommend it.

Perfect food staff and very clean x

Great food and such value for money. 2 adults, 2 children, bottle of prosecco and 2 soft drinks for £50 - bargain and delicious

Ate a number of times at the Oak, including December Christmas menu ( excellent value for money includes choice of starter, main, puddings, mince pies and coffee) excellent food, I had the Steak with a peppercorn sauce, comes with home made chips and onion rings and husband had chicken coujons ( starter with chips). The Royal Oak do the best home made chips you will ever taste - they are amazing, All very clean. We both had puddings - I had hot apple pie and husband had the Sticky toffee pudding. Went again with family for Sunday lunch and friends on a Saturday - tried the fish and chips - fabulous chunky cod. Friend had veg lasagne.

Good food, good service. Highly recommended.

Only started going to this pub when our old pub stopped doing the quiz. What a find, brilliant food at a great price. Lovely friendly family run pub. We now go every Tuesday to the quiz here and have a nice meal before the quiz. The chips are the best I've had in years.

We had a lovely meal Wednesday afternoon with Deeside Ramblers and would like to thank the Royal 0ak,for good food and service for a big group Dave T

At the end of a group walk, we had a fab lunch at this lovely pub. Friendly, efficient staff & comfy surroundings. Excellent home cooked food, with generous portions. Plenty of choice on the menu & everyone was very happy with their meal. Will definitely return & recommend.

Great local pub to play darts in and they serve a good pint.

First time I've been here, and it won't be the last. Lovely pub food and ample portions. The chicken melt was just delicious. The service was also friendly, polite and efficient. 2 starters, 2 mains, and 4 drinks came to £43.00. It's very reasonable in my mind. Definitely worth a try.

Lovely venue, great food and atmosphere.

Came for lunch here on monday, was lovely! Good honest pub grub, kids absolutely loved the play area and the staff where really helpful too, definitely be coming back

Great place to grab a pint, reasonably priced although a little dated inside. Definitely more of a 'locals' pub. Staff are lovely though and the kids play area and beer garden are great if you want food and drinks and have kids ages 1-12.

Visited as charity volunteers for which the pub are brilliant supporters. Made most welcome by staff.

Dined at the Royal Oak again mid week. Husband had his usual - lasagne and the best chips ever. I tried the steak and peppercorn sauce - cooked to perfection and tasted great. We both had pudding - i had apple pie and ice cream and husband had the sticky toffee pudding - everything tasted really good. Friendly service with a smile. Large car park and bus stop from Neston and Chester right outside pub.

Lovely food and staff. The food arrived quickly and was so delicious. There are 2 play areas for little ones an inside and outside one there is also a bar and toilets there plenty of tables inside and outside and plenty on spaces in the parking lot. Definitely coming back here.

We have eaten at the Royal Oak five times in the last two months and food is really good. Large parking area and right by bus stop for the 487. We have tried the lasagne - liver and onions - Sunday lunch. Lasagne is home made and really good as are the Liver and onions. Sunday lunch was great and went with family - we all had prawn cocktail to start - Husband and family had the lamb or the beef and I had the turkey and stuffing - all served with new potatoes - roast potatoes - good selection of fresh veg and lashings of gravy. Home made puddings are fab and we have tried ice cream sundae - apple pie - jam rolly poly - sticky toffee pudding - trifle - served with ice cream or custard and taste fab.

Fab staff, fab food and great little soft play. Prices reasonable, portions huge, and really friendly people. I'm advised that its best to book in advance on a Sunday but we were lucky today. The soft play is a separate building in the back garden, kids had a ball! 🥳

Visited earlier on the off chance of getting a table, luckily we were successful. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, we managed to have Sunday lunch which great. They have a good selection of food and drink available at reasonable prices. There is a great sense of community in the pub and it was good to be a part of it for a little while. Will definitely visit again!

We went with a friend for her birthday. The staff were lovely and friendly with great banter. I ordered the liver and onions. The liver was beautifully cooked, tender and moist. The mash was a little bit dry. Needed a splash of milk in it or a knob of butter to cheer it up. The gravy was weak, needed more thickness. Not enough gravy either to put on the mash. Perhaps 4 ⭐ a little harsh but not worth 5 and nothing in-between. I would go back but would ask for fluffy mash and extra thicker gravy next time. The others said their meals were nice and all said good portion sizes.

First visit for breakfast 😋 Landlord very welcoming and hospitable.

Great pub, really friendly staff and nice food

Excellent and very friendly staff

Called in for Lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the warm and cheerful welcome. Presented with the menus ( our friends had been here before and were pleased with the large quantities). We chose 2 liver and onions served with Potato mash and gravy. 1 chicken curry with pilau rice, and 1 Gammon and eggs. All 4 of dishes were cooked to perfection and the quantities were certainly enough for us not to eat anything in the evening. Do give the Royal Oak a try.

Eating out a lot, this is by far the best place for home cooked food, very tasty and fresh ingredients, most places these days is bought in ready to eat so makes a massive difference and the prices are great, the landlord mucks in with service which, is a rare thing these days, excellent customer service, would highly recommend Jo & Warren

Nice traditional pub. Went for a drink with my mate.

Pleasant atmosphere , proper basic home cooked type meal choices on their menu but never had a bad meal yet , would definitely recommend

Friendly owners /staff price wise great excellent prices on very tasty food the menu daily specials board are not to be missed won't get anywhere nicer for food

It's simply the best, better than all the rest, better than every one, every one you ever went.....

Friendly staff and good home cooked style food. Good selection of beers on offer too. There's a kids play area in the back garden too.

Very pleasant staff, food served promptly and was reasonably priced. Couldn't fault the place for a quick evening meal.

Great Sunday lunch, good price and good beer . Would recommend

Best pub around, top class food and the landlords a legend.

I was born around the corner from the The Royal Oak. On our visit from Canada last week I asked if I could buy a shirt….. they don’t sell them but one of the bar men took his off and gave it to me! What a guy. To have a shirt from Little Neston is very special to me. I’m wearing it now. The food and Guinness was good too, we ate there 3 times over the 2 weeks meeting friends, it’s always a busy place.

Great place with a varied menu and friendly service

Had a little family get together here over Sunday dinner. The restaurant is clean and simple, food was good value and pleasant, but the staff and there service was fantastic - very pleasant, attentive and friendly. Well done and thanks.

Nice Pub but a very expensive one compared to the other Pubs in the area

We popped in after visiting relatives who live in Neston. The warm feeling and friendly welcome we both got was brilliant. The staff went out their way to make us and others have a pleasant evening and the food was splendid and reasonably priced too, although a little more pastry on my chefs special pie would of been good but thats the only thing i can grumble about just my preference, but a great pub lovely food and warm,friendly, accommodating staff we will definitely be making another visit

Great food and very friendly staff. The breakfasts are available from 10.a.m Monday to Saturday and are excellent value for money. I would also recommend their Sunday roasts which are brilliant.

Food great, very good value for money. Most diners in early evening so we needed to order before 7pm .

Just passing through so this was my 1st time in this lovely friendly pub, speaks volumes when its fully booked up for food at 3pm in the afternoon, friendly accommodating staff, wished I lived round the corner, as this would definitely be my local

Great breakfast. Been a few times for breakfast and always delicious. Great value for money.

Nice relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Also a good choice of ales and live sports. 5*****

Very popular public house and haunt of the cup winning Neston Nomads Football Club.

Nice friendly pub, staff are great and the tables are set out with good space around them, not crammed in. Had the Sunday roast and a pudding, great value and the meals are served on hot plates and the food is hot. The food is nice and have booked to visit again in a couple of weeks

Great Pub, will hopefully be making his my regular!

Fabulous day had my sons 50th birthday on Saturday afternoon for family and friends greeted by management and staff nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be returning food excellent.

We are four friends who enjoy sharing days out and pub lunches. The Royal Oak in Neston is a very nice place to visit. The bar man Rob is an absolutely delightful member of staff. He was funny, efficient and a great asset to the establishment. However our food, though tasty and well cooked was missing several of the listed items described on the menu. The lasagne did not come with the two slices of garlic bread as per menu, the liver bacon and onions came without bacon or onions and one of the smothered chicken had no mushrooms. On the plus side all the puddings were delicious. The lack of ingredients did not spoil our meal or our day out, but it’s wrong to misrepresent the menu. The chef needs to pay attention.

On June 6th 2021 my wife and I spent a few hours walking along the Dee Estuary. We decided to lunch in Neston (never been there before) and stopped at the first pub we found. Sadly that pub was not serving food and suggested a range of local places we could try but then added that the best place to eat was the Royal Oak. They gave us directions and on arrival there was only one small table available. We decided on the Sunday roast (beef and Yorkshire pudding) and it was fantastic, vegetables arrived separately together a jug of extra gravy. The waitress then said that extra gravy or vegetables are available if we wanted them and left us to enjoy one of the best pub meals we have had for years. We eat out regularly and will definitely be paying another visit I the near future however next time we will book a table in advance.

Lovely pub and very friendly staff. Cheap food very tasty and hot. Loved it !!

Lovely and friendly, very nice staff! Good coffee.

Lovely little pub would have liked to stay.will be back

Friendly local serving decent beer. Only one downside, landlord is a Man. City fan 👎

Good, delicious and cheapest in this area.

Had 2 great family meals here recently. One had a table for 16 , the meals came out together so we could all eat at the same time. Could not fault any of the meals and all had clean plates which is a good sign. Well worth a try it takes some beating. I had the homemade steak pie and it was delicious

Lovely food served with little wait. Happy cheerful bar staff!

Great food, fabulous staff, good atmosphere and probably the best prices/quality around!! The landlords not bad either!

Pre-Christmas lunch was OK but quality of vegetables was poor as was stuffing. Best thing was decent turkey and the very generous portions of meat and veg. Also all a bit lukewarm. So called trifle was fairly disgusting, probably great for a youngster but not an adult that loves puddings.Only one hand-pulled real ale but fortunately it was Doom Bar!! Speed of service was good but the meal selections were pre-ordered. The pub ambience is dingy and in dire need of a makeover...very old-fashioned but in a tatty kind of way. At the end of the day it is what you like personally..this place is not for me.

Just had a first class meal with good friends. Excellent food and service from friendly staff ! Can't fault it ! We'll done Barry and his team !

Service and food was great....3 courses and a pint for £10...why eat in !!

Been here quite a few times The food never fails I had the mixed grill and the wife had the chicken baguette Both meals perfectly cooked The price was also nice👍

Great pub with a fantastic atmosphere. The food is delicious and very good value.

Popped in for a quick pint on a Thursday evening. There's no craft ales available so opted for a Doom Bar on tap. It tasted awful. With so many good local breweries on the Wirral it would be good to see some better beers than the usual mass-produced stuff.

Fantastic for familys & groups of friends, quality food and a great armosphere very sports orientated side to it but a top quality restraunt side!

great staff and always helpful, quick service and very polite, great value and always hot, very clean.

Good food freshly prepared and very reasonable prices.

Spacious but intimate depending on where you sit

Excellent food, starters are bigger than you expect, an so you inevitably end up not finishing your main meal. As many people do, you leave the potatoes, which in this case was chips, and being limp its not a great loss. But limp chips are also the only negative for the place

BARRY The boss is always so hospitable! He's been there for years and knows who's who and really looks after them !

Inexpensive the salmon cooked to perfection. My husband enjoyed the gammon asked for the egg and the pinapple no problem at no extra cost.

Stopped here for an early dinner. Service with a smile. Lovely food - I had the Chicken Melt and my husband had Lasagne. Great service and great prices.

It's a pub,decent food and beer!..

No real ales poor atmosphere to expensive.

Lovely old English pub. Food is consistently good and not too expensive.

Food was lovely, and service was great

Only just realised I've been visiting this place for food every so often for about 10 years now. That's a bit crazy to begin with but there is a good reason for that, it's fantastic. As for the drinks I wouldn't like to comment on as im not a regular but whenever I've been in its had a welcoming atmosphere with people clearly enjoying themselves. If you have kids just throw them in the play area. Highly recommended :)

So make of it what you will! Can’t say I would trust anything being vegetarian there now. Came in a little jug like it had been especially made.

OK pub. Serves good, traditional food at a good price, now. Just started that, recently......

Visited here with a friend last week and was greeted with a very warm welcome the beer was great and the food was even better. The bar area was a great atmosphere and would definitely return!

Great food and service as always!!!!

Good food, at very reasonable price. Basic pub food menu with no 'posh' frills!

Great food! Great service and friendly staff!

Very warm, welcoming, family friendly pub with great staff, food and beer offering!

Only popped in for a couple of drinks whilst watching the footy. Pub is very dated serving a simple range of food and drink
