Personally I will not eat here again. The menu is limited and even so we were advised that some foods were unavailable “while they went down to the shops”. It is the first time that I have experienced Chilli con carne without the carne! No beans in the chilli is unacceptable and the advertised accompanying ‘Tortilla chips’ were also unavailable although we were offered crisps in their place! Only one draught beer available although acceptable quality. If you choose to eat here, be careful what you order.

Very friendly staff. Although we are not regulars here, we felt very much at ease. It was great that dogs are welcome which will allow us to frequent the Royal Oak regularly. The menu wasn't huge but there was enough to select from. My cheese and tomato omlette was delicious. Chips were done just right. We definitely will be returning. Thank you Roysl Oak.

Attended for a Sunday lunch, unfortunately the portions were a little on the small side, the veggie option was average to say the least and the "large" roast seemed to be the same size as the others.

Although The Oak gets good reviews, we can't add to them after our visit today. We experienced poor service, unprofessional attitude, long delays, wrong food and a final large bill that will ensure that we will not visit again anytime soon.

Do not eat here!!! Food on website does not relate to menu. Staff were lovely but the female proprietor didn’t give a damn about the customers, sitting at the bar drinking (although not drunk). We ordered nachos and spicy chicken wing starter, which came out burnt. We returned the item. The staff asked the proprietor what to do. We heard the proprietor tell her to tell us it was BBQ chicken wings and that the menu hadn’t been updated yet. She didn’t give a damn about her customers. Had also asked for cutlery three times and was eating our starters with our fingers before cutlery and serviettes finally came. We saw the burgers come out to a different table, (the only other people eating there) which looked nothing like the food on the website.

It was a nice lunch, with four friends. I guessed that it was probably cooked from fresh and that was why it took 45-50 minutes from ordering to table delivery. They're doing well, keeping a village pub up and running but, with those delays there should be a note on the menus, so that the casual customer can be prepared.

This is an old period country pub that was always a reliable choice for drinks and food. After a recent change of management it has become a bit of a dive. The music is way too loud and inappropriate, for a country pub, often jarring drum & bass beats that prevent a conversation from taking place. There are bolshi pre teenage kids all over the place not being kept in check by parents. Takeaways are being brought in by punters and eaten on site. All the class has gone from this once charming pub. Another one bites the dust as the saying goes.

Had the sausage and mash and it was tasteless apart from the sausages which are from glovers so you cant go wrong there! The mash was watery and bland.

I visited the Royal Oak at lunch time to meet a friend. We wanted a light bite to eat and a few drinks. When we went to the bar to order we got told politely by the bar staff that there is an hour wait due to the amount of people in the pub. Which we were happy to wait as we had been informed! When our food arrived it looked and smelt amazing! I had the Brie bites and my friend had the hot bird burger. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. I asked for the chefs names to complement them. Thank you to Rob and John. We will definitely be coming back.

Having read this pub is affiliated to the one at Heverhan and Blasted it was for me disappointing. To me it's just an average village pub with little finesse. We opted not to eat but looked at the menu which was very basic to the point I thought they would have a different evening menu but told no. Highlight appeared to be s foot long hot dog with all the normal sides, certainly not fine dining but clearly not what it sets out to be. Hoped for a gem to meet with friends for an evening possible pre Christmas meal but sadly this isn't it. Clearly has its fans as portions seemed huge but won't be returning sorry
