We had an excellent meal at the Royal Oak in Naseby, after we pulled in when Google strangely took us through the village. Who was really quite good and the atmosphere was excellent, but we did have a bit of trouble getting our drinks and other bits and pieces delivered. We'd order, and things just wouldn't arrive until we asked again, or a slightly wrong thing would be delivered to our table. Overall, though, an excellent dining experience in this historic town.

The most wonderful, welcoming pub with an absolutely delicious and elevated menu! We have lived in the village for the last 15 years, we had only been to this pub twice - the food menu was never very good and decor/ atmosphere wasn’t great either. Glad to say that since the new management, that has completely changed! We have been twice in the last two weeks and plan to visit regularly. The decor has been completely uplifted and the Royal Oak is now a beautifully designed country pub with a tasteful and modern twist. The menu is creative and unique, not your typical ‘pub grub’ but much more fine dining at a still affordable and appropriate price for the quality of not only the food but the amazing service. The vegan options are very tasty and the chef was very accommodating, even offering an option for Sunday Roast. The lasagne was by far the best I’ve ever had. Couldn’t be happier to finally have an incredible local pub in Naseby! Thanks also to the waitress Lucy who was very friendly. Can’t wait to return soon.

There are many village pubs owned by large brewery's which frankly have landlords that don't want to be there and are just barely staying open. This is not one of them. This is a pub recently taken over by a small brewery called the Towcester Brewery Company. The person serving behind the bar that night was Scott and he was friendly and obviously popular amongst his guests. The place was fun and people were enjoying themselves. It's great when a village pub springs back into life as so many are failing and closing. I didn't try the food but was assured by locals it was good value and reasonable. Definitely one of the better boozers this side of Northampton. The reason I have given it four stars instead of five is due to the lack of staffing from 5-6 on a Friday. The place is getting popular so staff it up a bit more and you've got a winner!!

We really value having a down to earth friendly pub in the village; it's a go to place to socialise and you will always find people warm and friendly, whether you are a local or passing through! Scott and the team are doing a fantastic job getting the food offering going and it's wonderful to have somewhere to go to eat in the village when you can't be bothered to cook! Quiz nights on Thursday are competitively fought out with witty banter and lots of heckling of the quiz master! Keep up the great work guys!

We followed the 'historic sites' signs to Naseby, and also similar signs to the pub... and had expected something historic, perhaps quaint, and good for lunch after a long journey. The soiled nappy in the car park was the first clue that perhaps it would not live up to expectations, then the large screens on most, if not all walls... and when we asked for menus, they were crumpled and soiled A4 sheets of paper. I had a reasonable chicken and ham pie, but my vegetarian partner had probably the worst 'pasta and tomato' dish ever offered - cold and tasteless, she didn't finish it. The staff member who collected the plates understood completely (he was also vegetarian) and apologised. A good selection of beers - I would have liked to have sampled more that one, but was driving! Again, my partner was disappointed that there was no draught sparkling cider - she had a bottle of Bulmers instead of her usual preference of Thatchers/Stowfords/Ashton Press etc. I guess that this is a good local pub, but not one to break a long journey for.

Set in the beautiful village of Naseby. Good selection of beers and a good village pub atmosphere. Everyone seems to know everyone which is nice. The food is very average but I'm sure with time they may give it more finesse. Burgers need more than just a bun, a bit of mayo, cheese, lettuce and tomato can make all the difference between 'meh' and tasty.

The couple who took this pub on in August 2015 really have excelled. Not only have they managed to get the place a face lift, (some sceptics said the pool table was a bad idea, ha!) they also now have a very varied and may I say ambitious menu, (especially as they manage to cope without staff). The sharing ploughman's has to be seen to be believed.
