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 👌

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 👌

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

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!

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

The worker here are crazy - they cannot provide you hot water and if you insist to buy you will be charged the same amount of tea - which is 3.1 pound. Which is very insightful for inspiring me to open another shop in Heathrow T5 so could make a great fortune

We visited Demiro's before an opera performance at the Millennium Centre. The service was perfectly fine, the staff polite, helpful, and was prompt, which we appreciated since were on a tight schedule. One of us had Spaghetti Carbonara and the other had Penne Arrabiata. Both were ok - nothing special, but fine since our purpose was simply to get something to eat before the performance, not to spend the evening in a restaurant. Dessert seemed to revolve around different types of cheesecake and at over £9 a go, we felt this was unrealistically expensive so didn't bother. The decor of the restaurant felt a bit dated and the tables are rather small. The piped music - irritating at the best of times - was too loud and got in the way of conversation. Then, just after we paid the bill, the music suddenly swelled to deafening volume and a 'waiter' appeared , microphone in hand, and started moving from table to table, singing cheesy, 1950s fake-Italian songs. I can imagine this kind of thing being popular with a certain type of audience, but on this occasion it didn't seem to go down well with the diners, who all seemed to be trying to ignore this sudden unwelcome musical accompaniment to their pasta. Like us, they were probably heading for Welsh National Opera's performance of 'Peter Grimes' - which is on the 'heavier' side of opera experiencs - so they probably weren't the target demographic on this particular evening. As we fled the restaurant, cringing with embarrassment, I couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for the chap who was singing - he was clearly a good singer and wasn't getting much love from his captive audience. That said, he was probably getting paid more than the pittance earned by the WNO chorus members across the road, who the Arts Council and the Welsh Government are trying to shut down by starving them of funding. If things don't improve, they might all end up working at Demiro's before long.
