The Royal Oak in Cardiff

Yesterday we hired out the back room in the Royal Oak Whitchurch and we had the perfect party for my son! Lisa and the team couldn't do enough for us, they were so accommodating! Even helping us to set up and clean up after. The booking was completely FREE and we were allowed to bring our own buffet at no extra charge. There was plenty of room for around 40 guests, even without the outdoor area. Highly recommended 👌

Ayer alquilamos el cuarto trasero en el Royal Oak Whitchurch y tuvimos la fiesta perfecta para mi hijo! Lisa y el equipo no podían hacer lo suficiente por nosotros, eran tan serviciales! Incluso ayudándonos a configurar y limpiar después. La reserva fue completamente GRATIS y nos permitieron traer nuestro propio buffet sin cargo adicional. Había un montón de espacio para unos 40 huéspedes, incluso sin la zona al aire libre. Muy recomendable 👌

Great little local pub with amazing stafg

Not the best pint of Guinness but at least it’s cheap

Been to Cardiff several times, first visit here definitely will go again

£2.75 for a pint of john smiths. Bargain

A nice village pub in the heart of everything, a good pint with a fair price

Great little pub in the village with well priced beer.

Fantastic place friendly staff and locals. Our band played here and enjoyed!

Great local boozer. Friendy bar staff. Clean loos. Nicely decorated bar + lounge.

Gran nueva dirección. Totalmente renovado. Baños limpios. Personal muy amable. Un montón de espacio en la habitación trasera, cómodos asientos. Buen ambiente.

Lovely little pub but land lady was angry. I leant over the side of the bar and all I heard was your banned and you're mates banned as well for taking photos. He didn't even take a photo bless him. Other than that it's a lovely pub Can I come back please

welcoming local pub, good choice of largers and good value for money. Friendly courteous staff. Would recommend.

Beers cheaper than elsewhere in the village.

Good service. Friendly atmosphere

Such an amazing transformation for a village pub. Great refurb, wonderful toilets and a fabulous landlady.

Friendly staff & a beer garden to the front..

This pub as changed so much in the last couple of weeks .very clean friendly staff and a great atmosphere. We definitely go back

Good service friendly staff and clean

Local little pub nothing to mention apart from the staropramen

Good service friendly staff warm welcome

If you need to use the loo, just follow your nose. The stench of urine is overwhelming.

Landlord Joe a hard worker. Serves a good pint.

Really nice staff, great prices. Will visit again.

Nice pub great staff good atmosphere and good beer.

Oldman pub but still good atmosphere

No frills pub, full of characters, great to see it back open and busy

Needs to be kept on top of cleanliness wise. Lovely people running the oak now. But needs to be kept on top of. I ran pubs for 25 years . I know what I'm talking about.

Just had to pop in for my friend to use the toilet one drink was one too many

Great pub. Lovely atmosphere and fantastic staff

Great pub great atmosphere but bring back the bands on a Friday the pub was not the same

Yes good pub miss Keith n penny Simms lovely people .r.i.p.xxxx

Quite noisy on our visit, due to the presence of some younger guys. Fantastic pint of Guinness 👍

Basic pub with an expected range of beers. Definitely one for the locals.

Decided on Whitchurch Village to have a drink last night. Tried the Oak first as there was a couple of tables free outside. Got served quite quickly and thought I was good here for the evening. Took a sip of my drink and realised that my Strongbow glass had been filled with lager. I took it back to the bar but had to wait a few minutes to have the error rectified as only one if the two staff behind the bar was serving. The other one, who later identified himself as the Landlord, seemed fixated on the CCTV monitors above the bar but noticed me returning my drink and overheard a pleasant exchange of words with his colleague. As I turned to return to my table I noticed that the Strongbow was swiftly going flat and that it has been served in a wet glass. I turned back around and laughingly said that I thought I night be jinxed and maybe it would be third time lucky. I appreciate that I was wearing a face mask but cant believe that my tone could of bee taken as anything less than jovial. The Landlord told his colleague not tu serve as I was being rude and asked ne to leave after refunding my money. Wont be going here again and wouldn't recommend that anyone else dose. Tried two other bars and felt a bit like goldilocks! Please see other reviews. I turned

Good pub I just wish they'd close the doors. Nevermind covid, cancer is knocking on your door being sat in here,

Busy, good craic, racing on the telly

Such an asset to Whitchurch Village. Traditional. So friendly. On the doorstep!!

Nice quiet drink. Polite staff all round happy

Not observing social distancing

No Social Distancing, Loud, Foul Language whilst children and families passing by. Terrible, such a loss losing Deb & Will, they wouldn't have put up with it.

Great karaoke on a Thursday night

Really lovely local staff , can't fault

Brilliant atmosphere drink is cheap entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays can't fault this place

Too noisy, but all pubs are too noisy at my age.

A good pub, relaxed atmosphere and good food.

Quiet, clean and good priced beer but a shame about the slow service and the young lady behind the bar who looked like she'd rather be anywhere but serving behind the bar and couldn't pick a smile our of a line up.

It's real friendly good beer the right price

Great locals pub in the heart of the village

Great little pub that as everything great staff great sport great beer great music a must visit if your out and about in whitchurch Cardiff

Very lively local pub with fantastic service behind the bar.

Great pub. Proper Guinness and very friendly staff. Old school clientele and good for that.

I only come out for karaoke night

Great live entertainment and atmosphere

Very friendly place with good service

Had a fantastic time yesterday 🍻🍻🍻

No es lo mismo desde que María se fue, un poco de basura ahora, la mayoría de los lugareños que solían beber allí han ido a otro lugar, no se recomienda para una salida nocturna sin problemas

Agradable pub local. Bueno para los deportes al parecer El personal educado y servicial. Barra pequeña en la parte delantera y barra grande en la parte trasera. Sin duda un pub local la noche que visitamos.

1st class service 1st class atmosphere Will be back xx Well done Royal Oak xx

Love it something on all the time with frenly staff

Staff very welcoming see you soon

Love this place, traditional pub and very cheap beer. Great atmosphere and lovely staff!

Very busy and noisy. Popular karioke nights

Great place to drink and social

Great Staff, great beer nuff said.

Cheep drinks, rustic atmosphere!

Vine aquí con mi esposa y disfruté de la visita. Tenía una buena variedad de cervezas y el personal y los clientes eran muy agradables. Vendría de nuevo

Great Guinness, friendly staff, interesting clientèle. What more do you need from a traditional boozer.

Good beer ,good prices,music and bit too loud to be able to have a conversation.

Great staff always a great atmospher

Great old pub friendly staff and customers love the karaoke night

Good lovely pub with plenty of atmosphere. Live music most Friday and Saturday. Staff are hit and miss, may not to be everyone's liking.

Not the same pub as before. Bit grimy inside. Great music but that's about it. Won't be going back again.

Used to be a friendly place full of characters and banter has been taken over by loud mouthed people who are bigoted and full of themselves aggressive and unfriendly

This is my favourite pub in Whitchurch when I visit. It's a proper no nonsense pub with a good selection of excellent beers

Popped in on passing with a stag party. It's a compact place but had a friendly atmosphere. I got the "local" vibe yet people recognise you as an out of towner and made a point to have a chat. Real pulled ales which is always a winner and an outside area. Very, very busy, but you don't mind when the custom is friendly. Worth a nosey!

Good night out Thurs night singing an dancing good com.

Being a regular customer for many years . Have recently noticed a change for the worse. The royal oak was a place to relax with many regular faces but due to it being taken over by another brewery which lowered the prices so encouraging a different clientel . Of which many problems have occurred relating to police being called far to often .What used to be a lovely pub is now a place to be avoided after 8pm

Friendly lovely pub.....cheapest place I've been to in a long time too👋👍

Great prices and good atmosphere

Fantastic night's and great band's

Lovely cosy pub people good staff friendly nice beer

Traditional pub not spoilt by the big brand approach taken by most public houses these days. Bar staff are always friendly and being amongst local faces when you're having a few drinks with friends is what visiting a pub is about for me. Can't fault the place.

Keeping live music going at the oak every friday night,i i live in whitchurch and its the only place to go for sky sports and reasonably priced beer,the staff are great and it also has a beer garden

Very friendly pub. The customers are great and the staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. Go there two or three times a week. Love it there.

Terrible. Refused to let people in under 25. The law of the land states that you are legal to drink at 18 years old

Refused toblet us in. Says 25 and over. The law of the land states that 18 is the age to legally drink alcohol

I was denied access because I was under the age of 25. Last time I checked 18 was the legal age of adults. I work hard, pay taxes and could even enlist in the army yet for some reason I can't have a drink in this pub. I have no idea why.

Nice pub in Whitchurch, great private function room and friendly staff.

Smashing pub, staff and patrons.

Best pub in whitchurch the only true pub in whitchurch

Really good band.Good beer and friendly staff and customers.

Absolutely loved this place. It's the type of pub that I could happily have as a regular local . Really lovely atmosphere. Great music and very busy but easy to see why. Drinks are reasonably priced

Excellent freidly pub great service excellent karioki on a thursday

Cracking pub. Great choice of beers with prices to please. Multi screens for all sporting events. And plenty of live music.

A great night, with a great group.

Good pub for watching sport on the tv. Cheap bar prices.

Friendly efficient staff. Good prices. Friday night live music always good.

Good bands friday and Saturday nights good atmosphere good and friendly people so don't miss out on a good Friday or Saturday night
