The Royal Oak in Bromley

Never been let down by the food and service. Atmosphere is great! Had a taste of the Christmas menu and it was lovely.

Had dinner on Thursday, Paige and Jon made us feel welcome and gave us excellent service. Will be back.

Lovely pub. Good food. Friendly staff. Old world timbered decor. John is a particularly helpful member of staff and Sharon has a great disposition, unfailingly happy. Has been a bit cold here recently, such a shame as it normally is a cosy pub

Lovely old oast house farm building. Very good food, great selection of drinks, and friendly helpful staff. Extremely busy Sundays.

This pub has a lovely cosy country atmosphere, with welcoming staff John and Liam who were both lovely, very attentive and kind. Other members of staff were very nice too, unfortunately I was unable to catch their names. Service from the bar to restaurant was spot on, food is fab and the pub is dog friendly and they provided water and treats by the door on arrival. Open fires and low beams make this pub the perfect country escape to warm up with a nice drink or Food :) Thank you Royal Oak for another lovely evening with family and friends :)

Manic I guess to be expected Boxing Day .Staff were pleasant but stretched to over 200 diners Definately needed more staff to assist. Food was great. A lovely open fire 🔥 gave it a lovely cozy feel.

Service is terribly slow and you are not looked after as you should be as nobody bothers to check if you need a drink. The staff are very nice especially the tall chatty waiter but we Waited too long for a second drink then while ordering it I asked how long would the 2 meals be as this was 1 hour later waiter told me after he checked his tablet looks like No Order has been taken .We wouldnt mind but it was THE MANAGER Who had taken the order he Never bothered to write it down. He apologised said theres been a Misunderstanding YES MADE BY YOU We were not happy as we had waited soo long and seeing other people who came in after us get their food/ drinks.was annoying . We were given our drinks free of charge but it was easiar to get up LEAVE hungry as we did not want to wait any longer on it being cooked so we ended up going to the nearest chip shop took 5minutes to bag up FISH n CHIPS . I mean how difficult is it to make 1 Gammon Egg & Chips and 1 Lasagne.We were very upset and disappointed .This is what you call a BAD EXPERIENCE and We wont ever be going there again as its probaly THE WORST EXPERIENCE WEVE EVER HAD Just received A RESPONSE from THE OWNER maybe you should know the facts first from the customers whom have had the bad experience at your pub so theres NO CONFUSION its not that we are clearly still not happy as Ive said we wont be coming back so do not really care. Our review has obviusly upset YOU so you have come back making up a poor excuse of moving tables is the reason for the Confusion of us not getting our LUNCH. The Confusion was nothing to do with moving tables it was purely down to the ORDER not being put in by the manager .THERE WAS NO FOOD ORDER WE HAD TO GIVE IT AGAIN TO THE WAITER ITS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO BE TOLD WHEN YOU HAVE ALREADY WAITED AN HOUR AND ARE HUNGRY TOO . We were put next to a very hot radiator we both had jumpers on I could not turn it down as controls didnt work .I asked the GiIRL waitress when she was clearing plates away at the next table if its ok to move to that one it was the same table by the window we didnt go anywhere far the GIRL said it was fine and she would come wipe it down . She never came back to clean it ,this was an hour already we had waited on lunch .Why did our order not even arrive before we moved to that table anyway Does it really take an hour to dish up 1 GAMMON and 1 LASAGNE when a chip shop can dish up 2 Fish n chips in 5minutes . Nobody even checked to see if we had a drink waited far too long on even getting a second DRINK never mind Lunch SUCH POOR SERVICE . THERE NOTHING YOU OR YOUR CARE TEAM CAN DO TO RESOLVE ANYTHING AS BAD AS 2 CUSTOMERS LEAVING HUNGRY WITH NO LUNCH AS I HAVE SAID WE WILL NOT BE COMING BACK. WE DONT WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU . IT IS WOT IT IS HOPEFULLY YOU CAN IMPROVE ON YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR YOUR FUTURE CUSTOMERS THIS IS WHY THESE REVIEWS ARE HELPFUL THANKYOU FOR YOUR APOLOGY AND WISH YOU ALL HAPPY NEW YEAR

We have been to the restaurant on many occasions, but I have to say the service that we have received on the last three occasions from a young gentleman called Liam has been absolutely first class. He’s a young man with the courtesy and finesse that belies his years. He greets with a smile, is never pushy.. extremely attentive, welcoming and overall I would say an absolute asset to the Royal Oak. The food is also great there and if you want a reasonably priced meal with old-fashioned courtesy and a friendly, warm atmosphere then the Royal Oak your best bet. Don’t forget to ask for Liam.!

Attended a group Christmas dinner at Royal Oak. Staff extremely friendly and helpful, food excellent and big portions. Would recommend.

Can't fault this place. Every meal has been of a very high standard and large portions. Keep doing what you're doing!

Had a lovely dinner with friends in a nice section by the window. Food was excellent along with great Service. Price was great too with set meals at a particular price. Would definitely recommend and will go again.

Food was OK. Even with a discount it was fair price. Service was very good. Atmosphere was good, but need to out in better lighting. Literally had to use our torches on our phone to read the menus.

We booked a table for two for Sunday lunch and had a very nice meal. The problem came when we ordered desserts. I ordered a banana choux dessert which was described as having caramelised banana on top. After about ten minutes the waitress came back and said they had no bananas left but they could substitute the banana for strawberries instead which I agreed to. When the dessert turned up there was less than half of ONE strawberry on top. I have since seen the banana choux dessert which comes with half a banana on top. To assume that less than half a strawberry is an cceptable substitute for half a banana in madness. Poor show.

Food in general was good. But If you have the steaks,bring a defibrillator with you. Steaks SOOO salty your blood pressure will go through the roof. Think steaks were matured in the dead sea. Shame because starter and other food was lovely. And staff lovely, Please don't haveThe steaks if you have heart condition, or high blood b pressure. You might need the defibrillator.

Lovely restaurant, great food and a massive shout out to John S and the team. We were running late for our booking towards the end of service on Sunday, but he kept the kitchen open for us. Always provides a friendly service which I can only describe as going above and beyond. We will be returning!

Food was cold. Some parts of the dish missing iteams. Some parts over cooked. Young waiter was really nice.

First vist & won't be the last . Had a beautiful 3 course meal definitely worth a visit.

Lovely little pub with a warm atmosphere. Food was good - recommend the hunters chicken and mac and cheese. Staff very warm and friendly. Looking forward to going back!

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast! Really lovely people working here too, great service. We will be coming back for sure!

Quick service good food lovely atmosphere we went for my sister 90th birthday would go again very soon .

Excellent menu, well cooked, tasty. Character pub.

Good service by Joel. He was attentive and looked after our requirements. Good food as usual. Would really recommend this pub.

Had a great lunch here today. The set lunch menu is great value with a good choice of items. Thanks to Joel for great service as well.

Thanks to Joel, service is always perfect, food is 10/10, lovley atmosphere

Visit with family. Lovely meal and really friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Even bought the dog who was provided with treats and a bowl. Would come again

The waiting staff were friendly and efficient, as always, and the food was great

Great food, service, and ambience. There were multiple vegetarian options and wide selection of starters, puddings, and drinks. Great portion sizes and flavour - all three of us were pleased with what we ordered Seating is quite comfortable - it feels both open but also with private nooks, which makes for comfortable dining experience. Service was friendly and quick. Dog friendly including treats at the door. They also have a small car park out back and clean toilets.

Great Sunday lunch with big portions and the service by Joel was fantastic. We waited around 30 minutes for food after ordering and wasn’t disappointed, the lamb was tender and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended

Absolutely incredible food. Service was fabulous. We had Joel.he was attentive, friendly and efficient. Roast x 7 and everything was delicious 😋

An amazing meal in a beautiful cosy pub. Thank you so much Liam for giving us a wonderful evening. We will be back soon😊

This is a great pub and tonight they did us proud dinner. The lady chef turned out food that was top quality and Joel and John gave us first class service. Well don't know on the Thursday night!

Had a great lunch with the family and our dog, we were sat in the bar area on one of the banquette areas and it was extremely comfortable. The menu choice was extensive and our food was excellent; I had the lamb shoulder, my partner the vegetarian Wellington, my dad had the sea bass fillets and my mum the roast turkey. All were delicious. The service at the bar and when served at the table, was really friendly. Would thoroughly recommend for a cosy Winter Sunday lunch.

Visited the Royal Oak today near Green Street Green Orpington 17/09/24 for my Birthday with my husband, lovely meal friendly staff all round and Liam went out of his way to give us a great experience .Thank you.

We came for lunch today with our pet dog. We sat in the bar area on table 70. We both ate main meals and then had the mini desserts with coffee. The food was lovely and arrived in good time. What set it apart was the atmosphere in the pub, clearly cultivated by all of the staff members who were all incredibly friendly, hard-working and welcoming. We had a really great time and will be back. Thank you to all the staff who clearly work hard to ensure that all of the customers have as good a time as possible.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, finished off with a gorgeous sticky toffee pudding. A big thank you to John for great service.

terrible food didn't even arrive, appalling service. Tried to contact the restaurant didn't get an answer on multiple occasions and now going to bed hungry

Have been coming here for years, however each time gets more disappointing. The staff are really helpful but I feel there isnt enough on a busy Sunday, food is never really hot, roast potatoes don't exist as we get given new potatoes everytime. The staff are constantly apologising to customers for the food taking too long, we ordered drinks and they took 15 minutes to arrive to the table one of which was forgotten about completly...maybe the staff should have a little note pad to carry around to make notes so they dont forget things. Food doesn't get bought out at the same time, cauliflower cheese was ordered but ended being bought out right at the end of the meal along with extra gravy we asked for. False advertising food, creme brulee was meant to come with a "home made butter shortbread" instead there was a lotus biscoff biscuit, and again same with the roast potatoes. I think this place could do a lot better as it seems they just want your money

Great food and drink in a lovely pub. Good selection of children's meals and colouring to keep them out of mischief. The lunch set meal was lovely, good range of foods. We particularly liked the mini puds with hot drink option. Spent £40 for 1 adult and 2 children's meals (all on soft drinks)

Good pleasant service. Nice ambiance.

We had a lovely lunch today. I would really recommend the grain and greens salad with prawns. It was so filling. Husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak and chips. Served by Joel who is always friendly. We go often and really like this place .

4 adults 1 child, 1 fish and chips, 2 fish cakes, 1 burger 1 Childs portion Mac and cheese, 5 desserts. And drinks All meals very good with the exception of the burger meal advertised as home made which it was not. 2 very average skinny shop type burgers which were very unpleasant and not worth the price tag of £17. The lady was very dissapointed

Service and food was fantastic. Rob and the rest of the staff were very helpful and very accommodating and engaging in conversation with my little Nephew.

Great food and amazing service. The calamari was a good size and the mushrooms were really tasty too. I had the sea bass as a main and the portion was perfect, the vegetables were cooked really well and the prawn sauce really compliments the meal. The service was really fast and the staff were welcoming and really helpful.

Excellent food and service, great atmosphere. Very accommodating for wheelchair and toddler. Liam looked after us all well!

We were served and looked after by 2 lovely brothers, what kind charming young men, we're definitely going back

Very nice pub great food great staff especially Liam & Colin and very welcoming.

Lovely pub for a quiet meal. Excellent service and good menu choice. Good value and friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly.

Best Sunday pub roast ever, highly recommend. Staff very attentive and accommodating. Will definitely be going again.

Had a lovely dinner tonight. My starter (chilli chicken) was delicious and my ribeye steak cooked perfectly. Unfortunately I had no room for a pudding. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. Special thanks to the kitchen for the lovely food especially Molly who I understand was the chef on duty tonight.

I have always enjoyed my visits to Royal Oak. Staff are pleasant and courteous.

efficient and polite service. Good quality and flavorsome food, great ambience, competitive pricing

Met with a fiend for sunday lunch. Its half way between us. Roast dinner was the best I've had in a pub. Lovely place and helpfull staff

Been here a few times and the service has always been excellent. Special call out to Liam whos energy and smile always manages to brighten your day. We tried the bar snacks and pie which was awesome but hats off to the chef who gave us the perfect steak. I have always enjoyed coming here and if I could, this would be my weekly stop.

My daughter and I were lucky to have been served by 'the dream team', really friendly and attentive service but not invasive. The food was delicious, will definitely be going back

Dropped in at last minute on way home and was really impressed. The food was very good, got and tasty. The best thing about this place is the service, we were served by a young man called Liam. What an absolute superstar. Polite, Efficient and friendly. What a credit he is. Well done. If there is a reduction recognition scheme can you please make sure he is rewarded

Went for a meal and drinks with some friends this evening, food was hot and well presented, the service was efficient, quick and friendly

The food was great! Especially enjoyed the crumble and the pizza dough!

1st time here and absolutely amazed with this little gem. Sunday roasts we're outstanding (pork and turkey). Peaceful and friendly atmosphere. Portions perfect and we didn't wait long. Definitely recommended as I truly believe not enough people realise how great they are.

Good service and very tasty food. Topped with quick service. Joel was very friendly and attentive :). We love coming here as a family.

Very good staff and lovely food

No atmosphere whatsoever, food diabolical. Avoid at all cost. I ordered the hunters chicken schnitzel. The chicken was covered in melted cheap processed cheese, no sign of any barbecue sauce and the bacon was barely cooked. Later that evening I had food poisoning and stomach cramps. This restaurant use to be a great meeting place, with a warm atmosphere and lovely food. I won’t be going again that’s for sure. Definitely not value for money, very overpriced for rank food.

Food and service great as usual

A lovely meal, super friendly service from John, who was brilliant and positive..Made us feel so welcome.

Lovely food, welcoming, helpful staff and we had a great time.

Lovely food. Very good service and excellent for me as I have a dairy Intolerance. They do not fuss about the and plenty to eat.

Super welcome, last minute booking for ten. Service very good food of all different items devoured with delight. Tasty, quality and certainly quantity too. Will be revisiting soon. Recommended.

A lunchtime stop was a perfect choice for quality in great surroundings. Excellent service. The fish was perfect. The staff, top quality.

Great restaurant I’ve been several times now, this being the best so far mainly down to the lovely ribeye and the service from our host Joel, who was probably one of the best waiting staff I’ve experienced. Attentive but not pressuring.

Very nice staff a very friendly young waiter(please thank him for us). Food a little pricey for what we got but well cooked

Not a great experience, food was sparse on the plate and tasteless. Staff not the most knowledgeable I've met. Not an experience I will repeat.

Today was my Birthday, so went along to this venue. The venue is nice, but waited at least 45 for food after ordering and all of our food was luke warm and very dry like it had been waiting around to be collected. The fish was nice, which I had, but mushy peas were dried and showed desiccation and there was around 9 chips. Not great value for £17.00. Come here for a drink, but definitely not a good food venue. The chef really needs to up the anti and give better portions and the staff need to deliver the food hot from the kitchen. Even a packed restaurant must deliver quality. The chef is in my opinion no different to anyone who has a kitchen. Disappointed for my birthday !!

Amazing as always. Very well looked after by Jon and Chloe. Had the lamb rump which was superb. Well done Izzy and the team!

Josh and John were legends. Great food, eaten there a few times now and always a great experience

The manager here kindly set aside an area for us (10 people) to celebrate a big birthday!! The bar service here is always so friendly and the staff very attentive. Tasty pizzas for nibbles and plenty of drinks. Lovely atmosphere and venue. Thanks.

John and Joel were amazing :) thanks for looking after us as always

Excellent service and food this evening We have dined here many times and enjoyed our evening but this evening was that little bit better

Joel and Sophie were very good and service lovely. Thank you

Joel and Sophie looked after us perfectly. See you again soon!

Great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere

Fantastic and plenty of food at a great price. Great atmosphere and a relaxing vibe. Awesome friendly staff

Lovely catch up with friends and fabulous food as always. Thank you

Liam and John were excellent they made our visit very enjoyable with great service and very friendly but professional

John & Liam were just fantastic and a credit to the establishment.

Had the set menu, two courses for £16.95 absolutely delicious. Service was excellent, very attentive staff and Joel, our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you. Highly recommended, hence 5 🌟

Lovely lunch, nice food and good service

Really great service with lovely food.

Welcoming and accommodating staff- Izzy very friendly and helpful

Great atmospheric venue, incredible food, gluten free options. All I need!

John was our waiter and his customer service was exceptional! Food and drinks are excellent and John made our whole lunch even better! Highly recommend and thank you John !

Slow service and food was very bland

Exceptional service, great for a special occasion

Lovely atmosphere and great service!

Food was excellent and staff are fantastic they deserve a 5 stars service. Thanks 😊

Stale menu. Time for a change. We’ve been coming here sporadically for a long time and the options are always the same. In particular healthy options are very limited. Come on Royal Oak , give us some exciting new dishes to try!

The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was very nice. The gastro pub was very clean and the Doombar Beer was fresh and tasty. Will be back soon.

I’ll start with the positive. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Now more can be said about the food. We had a steak burger of which you would expect to be cooked to your liking. 3 x roast trio and a kids meal. When it come out after having to ask how long it would be the burger was very well done like it had been re heated hard and dry. We took it over to a staff member as service was slow for him to them come back over to the table to ask again what actually was the problem because apparently the burger comes how it comes you can’t choose medium etc. after us stating how dry and over cooked it was he agreed to cook another which took another 20 minutes. Now for the roast that’s states pork belly with crackling which was sloppy fat. The potatoes were hard and tasted like had been reheated the best thing on the plate was the veg. Very over priced for what it is. And maybe re word your menu.

Waiter rude, scruffy. Staff member behind the bar on her phone, ignores us. Rude waiter pipes up that she us kitchen staff and not working. Not a mind reader I don't know that do I but his attitude is awful. Had dealings with him before when we had bad service and awful cold food, he was much nicer then. I can see why you have 6 people in your restaurant on a Wednesday night obviously don't want the business. Won't be going back ever. The place is a dive and smell of damp.

We paid a visit whilst on our travels. Unfortunately we didn't have time for food. Very good service and atmosphere.

The service from Liam was exceptional, he interacted with all the customers in our area very well. Plus the food was incredible

We have been coming to this restaurant for many years, but the last 2 visits have been extremely disappointing. We came in October last year for my mums birthday and everything was cold ( not even warm) and the service was awful. Because it is local and my mum isn’t able to travel far we came again last night for Mother’s Day. Again the service was so long , there was 5 adults and 2 children we arrived at 6.00 and didn’t leave till 9.20 as we waited so long for starter and main course. The waitress accidentally spilt a drink over my mum, which I never received another drink. The food was very underwhelming, the veg was a soggy mess, the chicken and leak pie had no filing and was totally dry. The prawn cocktail. Was like water. If we had been asked if our meals were ok we would have told you no but no one asked. When the plates were collected we told you how disappointed we were but nothing was done about it. I think not only could you have replaced the spilt drink, I think as good will gesture you could have given my mum a free dessert as she was dripping in coke. And done something about the awful food. After coming to the restaurant for 35 years I think sadly it will be our last visit.
