The Royal Oak in Huntingdonshire

Amazing day at WestFest...great staff organising an amazing charity event.

Amazing pub for lunch. Staff were very friendly. Food was fabulous and very tasty. Definitely would go back with my family

An enjoyable Christmas drink in the marquee on Christmas Eve afternoon. Mulled wine 👍👍

First visit for over a year for a mid week evening.gathering so difficult assess full offering.

Fantastic service and great food. We had an early lunch here before heading to the Barrow. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable by the staff. The food was really good all round. You'll also find out something you didn't know about what connect's Lady Ga-Ga and The Queen!

Update: May 2024 Still brilliant. Excellent selection of beers that changes frequently. Great staff. Lucky to have this place within cycling distance. Lovely village pub offering an excellent selection of drinks including beers (including Ghost Ship and Doombar), wines and gins. Fresh, but sympathetic decor that complements the buildings original features. Toilets are clean and always well stocked with paper and soap. Pleasant outdoor space with play area for younger people, long fence for bike leaning and lots of shaded tables if you're not keen to top up your tan. The food here is excellent and it is a good idea to book a table as this place has a very good reputation and can get quite busy. Really nice people behind the bar. Not open on Mondays or Tuesdays, but very deserving of a visit.

Two of us visited this cracking pub for a Sunday lunch and could not have been more pleased . Having sat out in beer garden on a lovely sunny day we went inside where our table was waiting.I went for the roast beef . That and my friend's vegan option were both good and plentiful . The cakes we had for dessert were yummy but too much for us both. At £75 for two mains and desserts plus drinks and bottle of Shiraz it was not overpriced either. The service was laid back and relaxed but still efficient.We will return for sure . Thanks all at The Royal Oak :)

Great service. Good vegan options. Very tasty vegan Sunday roast. Mate had meat roast and said was excellent. Will definitely be back.... Especially for that vegan caramel cake and dairy free ice cream 😁

Visiting my parents and the old man suggested we try here as he'd heard good things. Apart from the fact they'd sold out of gammon and i had the last steak, they'd had a busy Friday, it was very pleasant. Food was standard pub grub and was reasonably priced. Nice little pub.

Lovely place, really friendly. Treats for the dog.on the table when we arrived.

Such a great welcome Lovely low ceilinged bar My jacket potato was excellent What a find Great village We will be back 🍺🍺🍺

Nice thatched country community pub. Tasty Sunday lunch.

Having done a nice walk around the village of Hail Weston we stopped for Sunday lunch at the Royal Oak , superb roast served by excellent staff in a superb venue and very well priced , we had travelled 30 miles and would certainly come again as there are many walks around this area and would look forward to replacing the calories lost walking at this fine pub

Nice roast, potatoes could have crisper, lovely staff and surroundings

A very nice village pub, sat inside as hot outside although garden looked pleasant. Mainly Sunday roasts on the menu. Only ones in restaurant as most outside so no atmosphere. Food looked lovely but although a good serving of pork there was a lot of fat. The only vegetables that were cooked were the potatoes. The carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and beans were virtually inedible as knife would not cut them and very hard. It’s a great shame as it really is a pleasant pub.

I go there with my wife or friends occasionally as it has a warm and friendly atmosphere. It is also dog-friendly. There's normally a fire in the winter and the garden at the rear is great during the warmer weather.

Sweet outdoor garden, tasteful food (but a little bit too small portion compared to price), heavenly dessert! We spent a properly quality time with friends.

Really good service today, ideal place to meet up with friends

Up there with the worse Sunday roasts I've had

Keeps me coming back this place. I am local, but then again there are plenty of other places around. Atmosphere is good, inside is roomy and a good size garden for the sunny days. Can get busy at times. Food is good. Choice of beverage is also adequate for the location and size of the PUB. Service is also good.

Lovely looking pub quaint inside. Wasn't busy when we went. Had the roast beef dinner veg was hard and dinner swimming in gravy. Apart from that nice meal. Thought the staff were inexperienced and not that welcoming. Was a very hot day, so probably not at their best. Would go again, possibly in an evening.

Lovely village pub, with a cosy fire in winter

Nice pub. My potatoes and broccali were a bit cold, the burger was OK, tasted more like blue cheese than the pork and apple. Good drink selection.

Last minute decision to try the pub for Saturday night dinner. We ordered the pork burger and carrot Wellington. My burger was delicious and great portion size. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back.

Lovely rural pub, made to feel very welcome and looked after throughout our visit. Food was great, especially the seafood mixed grill. Adnams Ghost Ship and Southwold Bitter on cask which were well kept. Faultless really.

Fabulous. Party of 11 for Sunday lunch, exceptionally well looked after, lovely food in an atmospheric little pub. Highly recommended, thank you for everything.

Fantastic Sunday lunch! A very cute local pub with a cosy feel to it. The food was great value for money and the staff were very friendly. A great find and we will certainly be coming back!

Great staff, helpful and diligent. Food good and sizable portions. Various events (darts, quizzes etc) at times. Food on Thu- Sun.

Great village pub. Lovely staff.

Just stopped after a nice walk for a spot of lunch and thoroughly enjoyed a pint of Ghostship with a sausage sandwich 🥪 well worth a stop.

Very accommodating, large pub, great atmosphere

Pleasant, calm ambience. Sheltered garden. Nice food n drink.

Ordered Fish and Chips which was practically inedible. The chips were hard in the middle and burnt on the outside. The mushy peas were more grey than green. The fish was slimy and mushy like it had gone off! When someone came to clear the table I went to tell them the food was bad as there had been no check back throughout the meal and they proceeded to ignore my comments and walk away. Would not recommend and will not return for food

Absolutely amazing food, staff were fantastic and the pubs looking great.

So The Royal Oak today a pub that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Today's food was perfect. Starters were Piri Piri chicken wings and red mullet with pineapple salsa Main courses were one trio of meats and one turkey Roast dinners Dessert was chocolate & coconut torte. Loads of gluten free and vegan options on the menu. The pub and garden looks amazing and the team were great, once again fair play to the chef it was another hot one.

Just popped in whilst out and about, mmm guiness just OK no lemon in the vodka and tonic. Sat in the garden nice friendly locals but yeah maybe just an off day for the place. Will give it another go and who knows.

Nice lunch in the shade of the marquee

Had an amazing Sunday lunch today, food was superb and service was amazing.will definitely be back. Thank you very much 👍

Because it was amazing place and my sister’s work… sometime we visit her work….

Lovely evening, ate amazing food (the tandoori chicken burger!). Staff were friendly and generally good vibes

Superb meal, reasonably priced and great staff. I totally agree with all the other positive reviews.

Superb meal, reasonably priced and great staff. Totally agree with all the other positive reviews.

Really friendly and lovely food. Not the sort of place we were expecting but staff could not have been more welcoming. And omg the tandoori chicken burger is to die for!!!

Nice pub, good food and good beer. Shame it has given up its car park so you have to park on the street.

First time visiting this pub and had a superb meal. Lovely old village pub, fantastic food, very reasonably priced and great staff. Will definitely be visiting again.

Had heard very good reviews about this lovely village pub. However, I must say it was the worst customer service and meal that I have ever had! Meals came out individually and either over cooked or under cooked! My chicken tagliatelle dish came out last….20 minutes after everyone else’s! The chef had forgotten my meal and it took two members of staff to confirm what I had ordered?? When it arrived it was basically packet gilled chicken, chopped mushroom and pasta in a cream of mushroom soup. I could only laugh at it…. I would say that they should stick to just being a pub and serving drinks…. But the staff couldn’t even get them right either….. I think this place needs to be on Gordon Ramseys Hell’s Kitchen…..and sack Basil Faulty……

Amazing pub, very welcoming staff. Dropped in for something to eat and can highly recommend the Grilled Salmon.

Visited at lunchtime and had the fish n chips. The fish tasted strange - I ate it but had no idea what I was eating. I asked the waitress after the meal and she checked with the chef who said it was haddock. I've never had haddock like that before: it wasn't horrible but it wasn't nice either. But haddock? Hmm. My friend had calves liver and mash. Whilst she said it was okay she thought it tasted like run of the mill pigs liver. In addition we were charged £5.20 for two soda and limes! We did complain about that and they reduced the cost to £1.20 each, still a huge profit for them. All in all it was a pretty poor experience and we won't visit again.

Really nice pub in a lovely village with some lovely walks near by. Good selection of drinks. Would prefer more "craft" lager but this is personal preference.

Beautiful rural pub with a hearty menu and a team who make you feel at home. Perfect for families and grownups alike.

Love our lovely local pub. Cosy, welcoming and a good selection of food and drinks. Family friendly and dog friendly too!

Visited pub for the first time,shown into the snug where it was freezing cold,kept our jackets on throughout our meal. Informed that the meals that we were going to order was not available. My wife is a vegetarian,other choice was a vegetable curry,this consisted of aubergine which she doesn’t like and gravy.l had fish and chips appeared that the chips were the oddments from th3 frozen bag,peas looked very old. Not a good meal best thing about the visit was the drink…..

Superb atmosphere in a proper village pub.. Great ale and food

Oh dear what a disaster Sunday lunch was. Roast beef dinner,well that's what they called it. Beef that couldn't be cut even with a steak knife. God knows what they had done to the roasties , I think they must have been last weeks. Stringy beans,hard brocoli but on the plus side I could eat the yorkshire. Quite possibly be the worst meal we have ever had.

Went to a wedding here, great staff, service and space. Only drawback is there's only one ladies toilet so there was a constant queue, but this would only be an issue for big private events.

Lovely ambience. Would recommend.

2 stars because the ale was well kept, other than that, we were disappointed. Ordered the ‘meat on a board’ for two to share. This consisted of two Leaves of lettuce filled with pieces of chicken, mixed with other unidentifiable ingredients, warm (yes warm!) Pork pies, cut in half, Scotch Egg (s) cut in half, some Pork belly pieces (actually quite tasty) and because of a shortage of ribs, we opted for some Fish (Red mullet maybe). The whole dish resembled the aftermath of a Stag Do’s buffet - chucked on a piece of wood! The fish was undercooked and seemed ‘off’ (it stank), we were frightened to eat the Pork Pies (warm!) and only managed to finish parts. Not a pleasant experience and I expect they’ll be some retort from the establishment, but really, they ought to have a undercover shopper to take a look at what comes out of the kitchen! Staff were pleasant and courteous.

Fab little local pub. Does lovely food as well.

Lovely place, lovely food, very friendly service. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic service and was a pleasure to visit great food with down to earth staff 5*

Lovely setting in a very pretty little village.

Lovely place to enjoy food and drink. Good service.

This pub has a beautiful summer garden and we enjoyed watching the variety of wild birds that flittered around. Whoever maintains the garden does so with pride and with knowledge of how to create a wonderful space. The same pride and knowledge is not represented in our experience of the food. It took over an hour to receive a burnt fish & chips and a "fish burger" that was a tiny bit of cheap fish cake. The fish cake tasted unsurprisingly dreadful, more potato than fish, a frozen bought in effort and was returned uneaten. After the hour's wait the kitchen was closed so no alternative was offered. The fish & chips were supposed to come with creamed peas, but instead came with plain frozen peas. The claimed home made tartare sauce was out of a jar. The batter was dark brown and bitter and clearly over cooked to the point of being burnt. The chips were equally over cooked and dry. In our view the chips were frozen not fresh. The chef needs to take a leaf out of the gardeners book and take some pride at what leaves their workplace, as we left hungry and bitterly disappointed. That food should never have left the kitchen in the state it was and is hugely disrespectful to the customer. The service was friendly but slow. We weren't offered an apology nor were we asked how the fish & chips were, despite them clearly being picked at and mostly left. The pub wasn't busy with perhaps 4/5 tables occupied by the time we left. This pub can clearly do better judging by the over positive reviews. It manifestly failed for us, on our first visit as locals.

Finally got back here to try the food again. Was delicious, the roast dinner was perfect and the cheesecake dessert was amazing. This village pub is amazing and the staff are fantastic. Definitely will be back very soon.

We visited for our anniversary and the food was great. We sat in the outdoor heated marquee. The staff went out of their way to make it special for us. They even gave us the tile from the table with an anniversary message on it. Highly recommended.

Staff are always friendly and an overall lovely place to visit

Really nice country pub with better than your average pub food. Our bubbly waitress Lynne had a giggle with us, which made the evening all the more relaxing. Thank you. D & A x

Beautiful pub lovely staff and great food. Portion sizes are generous too. Will definitely come again.

We came for an evening meal on a Friday night. While the menu doesn’t have a massive amount of choice, the food was tasty and good value. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. The pub had also taken great lengths to be covid safe with social distancing prompts and hand sanitizer all throughout the pub. They also had glass screen in front of the bar and one way entrance system. It was also very well ventilated and contact details were taken on arrival for track and trace. Would definitely recommend!

Me and my wife had lunch here today. We both loved it definitely coming back.

Had lunch today at the Royal Oak felt extremely safe with organisation around covid 19. Enjoyed a couple of pints of Ghost Ship(the first draught beer in 4months) and a gluten friendly lunch for the wife and l.First visit and we shall return.

Just used the takeaway service and had fish and chips. Excellent service, delivered within the time scale promised, by Reuben. Spot on. Will definitely be using this service again. Just what the Oak and the village needs. Highly recommended. Pete

Excellent and valuable take-away service in difficult circumstance. Very many thanks and good luck with keeping it going

Lamb was very gristly and they brought my daughter the wrong Sunday roast but wouldn't admit to it.

We visited this pub on Saturday after having heard really good things about it, however we were really disappointed. We ordered two lots of fish and chips with mushy peas, both turned up with normal peas and really skinny overcooked fries. If we had been told there were no mushy peas left when we ordered that would have been but we weren’t told that until we asked. A couple of tables nearby us had normal chips rather than fries with their fish so we can only assume they’d run out of them as well. Again the veggie pie we ordered was meant to come with fresh veg but came with peas. The bacon in the BLT we ordered was very fatty had barely been cooked. They forgot the chips and again when asked we got sent a bowl of fries that were so overcooked they were inedible. The bread for both the BLT and the sips we had was just your standard pre sliced Warburtons type bread, nothing special. The service was also slow throughout. On the plus side the soup was really tasty, as was the fish itself and the veggie pie. We complained and the owner/ manager seemed very apologetic, taking the cost of the food off our final bill. It feels as if the kitchen was just low on stock and the chef was having a bad day, so we would be prepared to try it again in future as others seem to really rate it.

A charming pub with great food, service and atmosphere. Highly reccomend.

Why have we not been before. The wife and I have just had our first meal here, it was amazing. The starter was great, the roast dinner was lovely and the desert was delicious. Staff very very good, the pub is spectacular. Can't wait for the summer the beer garden is huge. Well done to the people of Hail Weston.

It's a good gastro pub, and this lot were there

Nice friendly pub. Worth the journey and wish it was nearer. Good beer selection. Dining room a little cold.

Great guest beer on tap, and Vinyl night created a relaxing inclusive atmosphere

Nice Garden, Nice food, Nice area

It's a lonely small village pub with tasty food and excellent service. Well worth a visit at any time, but check website as it isn't open on certain days/times.

Fab little village pub with fantastic food! Very happy that we stumbled across it!

We booked here after reading TA reviews. We were not disappointed. Lovely village pub, great food and friendly and attentive service. Had a main course but it was huge and unfortunately couldn't fit a pudding in! My husband had a mains and dessert and said he really was too full and shouldn't have had the dessert! We can thoroughly recommend.

We travelled an hour to visit this place and we were not disappointed. Firstly it's in a lovely little village and the owners and staff have worked hard to retain the " heart of the village feeling" It's quite a balance to achieve both a village pub and functioning restaurant and they achieve this really well. The two ladies who served us in the restaurant were friendly and helpful with a great sense of humour. The staff behind the bar went off to restock the tonic I asked for, really helpful. Secondly the food, I can honestly say that our food was delicious, arrived quickly ( it was fairly busy) and was presented well . If I had a complaint it was my steak was a little sinewy but this is a pub restaurant not a 5 star steakhouse. Everything else was perfect and I loved the chilli and crab! I also got the opportunity to try their new Christmas cocktail espresso martini with vanilla . Cost for 3 courses a cocktail, coffee and a round of drinks just shy of £70 not too shabby I think. Only issue is parking which isn't a huge issue as long as the locals are happy with continued parking on road. Brilliant place only sad it isn't a little closer for us to visit more often .

I can't fault the staff as they are all lovely and couldn't do enough but the food prices for what you get is a bit expensive , the roast is no way worth £14 had better and more food in a general run of the mill pub . If they lowered the food prices it would be a perfect t little village pub

Great night! open air cinema night was fab. Very nice village pub.

Stopped over for a much needed pint of lager on the way back during a ten miles walk with my dog - great pub, very welcoming staff!

Just thought I'd pop in in for lunch one day as always driving past this village, lovely little pub ( no parking as car park is now staff parking and smokers tent).Nice pleasant greeting when you walk in and staff are lovely.Food is a bit over priced for what it is it's not top notch or near top notch but not unpleasant some of there meal combos need a bit of work, it my second visit here to eat but won't be going out of my way to do so again.

Fantastic pub.. beautifully refurb.. nice garden child friendly. Great food

Lovely snug pub with decent range of drinks (lager should be served colder), didnt eat but the roast looked good and we'll certainly be going back to try it. Lovely well kept garden with a sandpits for the kids. Woujdve got 5 stars but for that cool not cold lager....😉

Great food, friendly, welcoming staff in a beautifully presented pub

Nice beer and a tidy little dog friendly garden :)

Great food, great staff. Even the other customers were friendly.

We visited for a family birthday and had a great evening. The service was fantastic. Especially the personalised reserved sign. Drinks are great. The food was absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

First time of use, very welcoming, nice atmosphere excellent food, staff very attentive.

Lovely food and friendly service

Had the burger this evening and this was the best burger I have had in ages! Hats off to the head chef! Will be back on a weekly basic if my bank account will let me. Staff very helpful and friendly!and the locals are lovely.

Nice looking pub. Staff very ordinary and food very average. Waited 15 minutes for a menu and when finally got to the front of the queue at the bar I ordered two children’s fish an chips. Barman said this was not on the menu. Pointed out breaded cod an chips! Our ploughman’s came without cutlery or plates. What kind of a place is this! Avoid.
