The Royal Oak in Teignbridge

Amazing atmosphere, welcoming, helpful staff with great food and large drink selection. live music and plenty of community spirit.

Definitely recommend. Stopped here for first time on way home from a week away. Steak lunch for dad and I and it was cooked to perfection and very tender. Homemade onion rings were lovely. We had to try desserts which were just as good. We will be back. Friendly staff and excellent meal. Thanks

Fabulous local pub that does its best for the whole community. From coffee mornings to live bands, Childrens parties to oap meals, quizzes, open mic nights, comedy nights and everyone is included. The staff are amazing, I can’t say enough good things about Mel, Scott and this wonderful pub

Absolutely shocking food!! After booking for six people to turn up and told they are not taking bookings. After we explained that we’d rang and booked to be sat at a table and rather squashed in to a small space. We ordered out for to send two meals back as the steak was red and not medium to well done. Our friends sons meal arrived after two of us had finished and half the gammon was pure gristle and fatty. Ordered adult meal for his and it was tiny. When we complained we’d been told as they had booked out for a private party the chef wasn’t prepared to cook meals. The sad thing is if they’d said I’m sorry we can’t cater for you we’d have left and gone elsewhere. The food was an absolute let down from start to finish. For the price they charge and the quality of food it’s very disappointing. I will say they did however offer to reimburse the whole table which we said to refund the two meals sent back and the little boys meal. This has to be the first time ever we’ve gone home and cooked food as we’d been left hungry. The other family with us went to Mac Donald’s for the little boy.

We visited this pub on Saturday evening having booked a table for 4 people. We ordered our food at the bar as required. Only 2 wanted starters and my husbands arrived, however our friend had to change his order 3 times due to unavailability. My husbands main course arrived before our friends starter! My husband ordered the curry which was completely tasteless and very unattractive on the plate! Our friends main meals still had not arrived and we had to go to the bar to prompt them! A band set up in the bar and the volume of the music was so loud we could not make any conversation it was completely deafening! A very disappointing evening.

What can I say..... brilliant service amazing staff, food was really good and good value for money! Would highly recommend! Only one fault was the toilet roll was around the wrong way!

What a lovely Pub! Friendly staff and the food was fab! My personal favourite was the hunters chicken with Tacos to start 😋

The Royal Oak is a lovely place to eat, drink and socialise. The food is cooked to a lovely standard (I've tried a few different items and I have a very fussy child). The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is great, child friendly with a play area and dog friendly.

Thank you for being the perfect pub we visited on our holiday. We were welcomed with children of different ages. A selection of children’s toys to keep them entertained whilst we enjoyed the live music. Can’t wait to come again.

Amazing. . .

As we live locally we decided to go for a meal for our 22yr old granddaughters birthday. What a mistake! the service and food were awful. The very young lady who brought our first course was obviously untrained to serve and spilt the sweet & sour sauce on our grandsons new grey trousers she then brought some napkins to mop it up and I asked for a wet cloth for his trousers so that it would not stain and he had to sit all evening with wet trouser legs. The second course arrived before we had finished the first course and the young lady did not clear the fist course plates away all evening they just sat on our table. The fish and chip were awful half the fish had uncooked batter on the inside and our granddaughters meal was the same. All our chips were overcooked and hard and some were burnt. Before we had finished our meal the young lady brought over a bill which she just put on the table and said it was the tab for what we had so far. She then took away 2 of our plates but left the others while she went to serve someone else. Non of the staff were very friendly and did not make us feel welcome. We were very upset as it was supposed to be a nice birthday but instead it was a disaster. Needless to say we would never go there again or recommend it. The trousers did stain and he was very upset.

Brilliant St Patrick's Day evening. Mel & Scott are lovely hosts and very welcoming. Always great entertainment at our local! Thanks for having us!

Ordered chicken ceasor salad and fish and chips both very nice but could have done with more chips ( pub chain portion control to blame not the Oak ) excellent sundae and of course A perfect pint of Jail ale.Good service and a nice atmosphere.

I am so lucky to have this pub on my doorstep! The food is excellent, with a good range of food on the menu and of course the obligatory Sunday roast. Eat and drink here regularly, good range of beers, ciders, wine etc. Never had a a questionable meal or pint!

An excellent, family ,dog friendly pub that serves great food and drinks only down side is no Mann's brown ( one star deducted ).A fantastic staff team under a professional Landlady . Well worth a visit
