Lovely clean pub. Excellent drinks and wonderful staff. A great place to watch live sport on tv, but not overpowering if footballs not your thing. Highly recommend.

I visited this pub whilst working in the area away from home, I found it a friendly place where the locals would have a chat with you. The lady behind the bar (land lady I think) was really polite and friendly, she had a beautiful smile and an absolutle cracking pair of thrupenny's with a cleavage to die for , I would definitely visit again. Thanks for having me

As expected, food and drink-wise, a shame that a group had arrived during the afternoon and were loud, not the proprietors' fault but did impact on the atmosphere. The waitress was lovely and the restaurant was clean and well managed

Went to the Royal Oak as a post Christmas family get together and really enjoyed it. Quick friendly bar service when we arrived and then as a group we had a range of dishes from the Sunday roast menu although also includes other options such as fish and vegetarian. I had the roast lamb, which was lovely. Roasties were nice and crunchy, plenty of well cooked vegetables and the lamb was nice and tender. Others had the roast pork as well as the fish of the day and everyone said how nice their meals were. This used to be a regular haunt some years ago but had sadly dropped in standards but with new hosts now the food was first class and the service just brilliant - especially enjoyed seeing the whole family involved. Definitely will be returning.

Found this pub as it had been recommended to me, what a disappointment, walked in ordered a drink from the surly unwelcoming barmaid only to be told I have rung the bell we shut at eight, it was 7.20 and there were nicer ways to explain that, what a shame. And no explanation why they shut at eight, my advice, don't bother.

Went here for Xmas eve, we managed to get a few seats but they were taken away after 30minutes as they had a dj coming. The music was way too loud before and after the dj arrived. This pub used to be good, still has a good beer selection but we had to go to a different pub this time so we could talk and hear (essential for a pub in my opinion!)

Well went for lunch specifically for the hibachi and was disappointed the chicken was sitting in sum kind milky liquid and smelled the steak look like scraps hella no cut jus slopped in. Went to use bathroom smelled of sewage all the way to the sushi bar guess the sewer pipe in bathroom was backing up they had the nerve to prop bathroom door open to smell crap in the dining area. The one in linden way better quality food and cuts of meat the staff was nice and sweet but the raw food by hibachi can’t be sanitary ecoli waiting to happen
