The Royal Oak in South Cambridgeshire

We were gifted a Cambscuisine voucher for £50 and decided to come here as nearer to us plus planned a visit to Wimpole Hall as well as less then 5 miles away. Shown to table in conservatory and very attentive service from then on. We both had the 3 course set lunch menu which was very nicely cooked. Husband's bacon chop although very thick was also half fat which was a bit off putting but the sticky toffee pudding complete with home made honeycomb more than made up for it. It was a shame that our bill took 5 attempts to get it right! The voucher was not deducted at first then it was just plain wrong from then on. We asked for the service charge which in our case was £6.75 and the £1 community help to be taken off because of this. It has not put us off visiting again if in the area as very nice pub and village.

Visited while staying with friends locally. Had the Sunday roast chicken, it was really good. Vegetables were cooked beautifully, really tasty with an enormous yorkie. Would definitely return when in the area.

Frankly, we found the place uninspiring. Bland food, indifferent service and over priced for the offering. Its part of a small chain and in terms of that sort of experience Cote does it better

The service was friendly and polite, attentive but we weren't pestered. Most of us had the roast beef which was excellent and the wine was very good - clearly thoughtfully selected rather than just what they could get a good margin on. A good selection of drinks at the bar, a decent kids menu and dog friendly too. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely delicious food, great beer and a lovely wine list, very reasonably priced. We had a lovely fresh soup, superb sea bass on a curried sauce and a unique and refreshing cold rice pudding!

A lovely meal until a bloke with his backside out exposed himself at the bar. The meal had been really Nice until then. Fish and chips very nice

a really enjoyable evening even with the strange covid times we are living in.. 4 of us booked a table and all had the fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce... the chef must have been happy and all the meals were piping hot and absolutely delicious.. too full for dessert but had further drinks and coffees in lounge.The staff were attentive and polite could not fault them, the whole place was clean and pristine. We lit our candle on our table for some subtle lighting . We left feeling happy to have returned to a pub we used to use many years ago saying we will be back soon... well done to the new current owners and staff.

The pub has a really lovely atmosphere and the staff were really nice and friendly, food was amazing!

Visited The Royal Oak to celebrate my wife’s birthday, we both chose the fish and chips (my wife had the gluten free option). Both meals arrived promptly, they were piping hot, the batter was crispy, the portion sizes were excellent. Having experienced a wide range of restaurants The Royal Oak in my opinion is on a par with my top choice (The Dun Cow at Salthouse). We both managed a dessert - my wife had creme brûlée with millionaire shortbread (gf), I had a strawberry Eton mess with vanilla ice cream. All in all excellent.

Low thick old beams a warm environment upon entering and a Christmas feel I was missing this year until I walked in here. This place has a great feel of a good old fashioned English pub in a lovely village setting. Was there for a celebration meal and didn’t disappoint. The busy atmosphere again speaks volumes on local interest and reliability with every table taken before during and after service. The menu was a change to recent and typical Christmas menus a good array of starters mains and desserts, our group all ordered different meals and all came in very generous portions and were ordered and delivered in good time by polite and busy staff. The roast beef burger has two might large Yorkshire puddings one either side of the contents action as the bun a great original feature I haven’t seen before. All cooked to perfection and enjoyed to the last bit. Accompanied by the best halloumi fries I have had. This is a great establishment with real ale on the pumps good service great food and a warm friendly place to eat or just pass for a drink recommend this place and will be returning when the chance arises .

Four of us had a meal in this pub Saturday lunch time,the food we all agreed was superb. The only down side was that the pub wasn't very warm.

Went as a group of three and we all agreed we had an above average pub meal at a reasonable price. Friendly service and good beer. It was a shame that midweek the place was almost empty.

Went to this gem of a place with a friend for a catch up over a drink and an evening meal.Set in beautiful Barrington this pub has ample car parking and plenty of seating inside and out.The food is truly amazing and all home cooked. we managed a main course and a pudding, both of which were delicious. The staff are very friendly and efficient and prices for you get are very reasonable indeed.Will return back again one day for sure.

My wife & myself visited on a Monday lunchtime after a circular walk through the local meadows/Shepreth.The food (I had fish & chips and my wife had a halibut korma) both of which were very tasty & good sized portions at a very reasonable price. The service was also very good & friendly. We will definitely visit again in the very near future.

We sat outside with some overseas friends on Saturday night and were asked at 09.30 if we wanted to use the facilities inside as they were closing. Sure enough, the doors closed at 09.40 and we, along with another table of guests, were shut outside. Another couple turned up for a drink and were amazed that the pub was shut so early on a Saturday night, so we directed them to another local pub nearby. Shame. Beer was excellent.

Beautiful old thatched pub on the village green. Classy, traditional interior with a nice vibe. Local ale and good wine list. Food was faultless and service polite and friendly.

Good traditional tasty food - very substantial helpings and efficient friendly service. The Sunday roast was excellent.

We had a superb late lunch which was so welcome after some long walking in the morning. Great ingredients and very well cooked. Well done. Peter

Variety of very well kept beers. We did not try the wine. Pub food quite excellent try the fish pie. Staff helpful and friendly. Worth a visit

Most impressed with our Sunday lunch, roast chicken for me, but we all had different meats and were all happy. Best roasties I've had in a very long time and the Yorkshire pudding was huge and delicious. Good sized poptions too. Yummy sherry trifle to follow. Beautiful pub in beautiful surroundings. Staff were friendly and attentive.

We motored there and plenty of parking. Served with drinks and taken to our table of 14. Food was lovely. Great care and attention. I am GLUTEN FREE and they did gf batter for my fish with chips cooked separately. Waitresses very attentive. Will go again.
