The Royal Oak in Wiltshire

Visiting from Australia and stayed in Easterton. The Royal Oak was recommended by our hosts as a place to have dinner. Dave and Nikki,the proprietors very friendly and welcoming, and the food was lovely. The service was prompt and would definitely recommend a visit if staying in the area. Jan and Angie from Perth WA

We have just enjoyed another wonderful lunch at the Royal Oak. The food is outstanding as is the service. Everything is cooked to perfection and so well presented. We are already looking forward to our next visit, as is our golden retriever who gets fussed over.

Traditional pub with very kind and attentive team. Traditional pub with very friendly and attentive staff.

Homely and very friendly owners and patrons, going there for Christmas Day lunch! Enjoy

1st visit with family for a birthday meal. We were not disappointed. Was lovely that the chef came out and spoke to us too.

Great pub not keen on prices as being from up north don't understand why brewery charge there own pubs more for beer than rival pubs

If it were possible I would give the Royal Oak six stars. The food was not only extremely good but the portions very generous. I had the steak and kidney pudding and it surpassed any I had had before except perhaps that made by my grandmother. My partner had the liver and bacon and was also delighted with her food. The vegetables were well cooked and again generous portions. Dabe was a great host and the service was wonderful.

Gave the Oak a call on the Sunday, on the off chance they could squeeze my wife and daughter in. They managed to get us a table and I so glad they could. We had Sunday Roast, I had the beef, which was so tender and obviously a fantastic piece of meat. My wife had the lamb who said it was lovely and my 5 year old daughter had the smaller option roast turkey which she polished off. The yorkshire puddings were home made and not the awful ones some places put out. The accompanying vegetables were perfect and the roast potatos were to die for! As we went to order a desert they told my daughter that because she had eaten all of her meal she could have a free ice cream of her choice. ( what a lovely touch) my wife had the chocolate fondant which was to the high standards we had had so far. I did not have a desert as I am watching my weight, but it took all the will power not to have one! The service was fast and fantastic, attentiveness was absolutely on point by the girls serving us, not to much and not too little. The prices were very fair and when I got my bill, I was presently surprised. I left a 10% tip which I would not normally do in the UK unless I get the lovely service we received.

A great local pub. Friendly and efficient. Good menu choices with reasonable prices. Also a good choice of local beers.... and also the wines are very good !!Definitely recommend. Dave and Nikki are extremely welcoming. Delicious food. Lovely decor. Thank you Dave and Nikki for your hospitality. We can't wait to return.

My boyfriend and I stopped by and had a wonderful time at the royal oak! Very nice atmosphere, nice people and nice staff. One of the best Sunday roasts we have ever had and food was served warm and very quickly! Absolutely recommended!

A lovely country pud. Food was incredible and a really good atmosphere. Highly recommended

Superb lunch at The Royal Oak. Excellent 1st class chef. Very friendly staff. Extensive menu. Thank you.

Had a really lovely lunch at the Royal Oak today, great food and fantastic service will definitely be back.

Nice friendly country pub . Not been here for years so surprised how much its improved, didn't eat this vist but will try a Sunday lunch another time. Good beer garden 👍

Excellent food, Very friendly service, Definitely will be back

Treated the Mother-in-Law on Mothering Sunday. Higher quality food than your average pub with slightly higher prices. Friendly, courteous staff, pleasant surroundings. WiFi but poor mobile reception on 3 network if that's important to you. Dogs and childen welcome.

Super friendly pub with proper grub done well. One of the warmest welcomes we have ever experienced, loved it and will miss having it on the doorstep!

Beautiful little pub. Lovely and clean, wonderful food with the smallest sweetest peas I've ever had. Staff were so polite and helpful as well as other customers. Will definitely visit again. Thank you 😊

Fantastic Christmas party lunch for 18 of us. The food and hospitality was more than excellent. I had the salmon which was delicious with a variety of vegetables followed by the most enormous cheese platter ever presented, definitely a sharing plate. We were given a bespoke area and there was absolutely no rush to vacate it which made the overall experience a very strong 5 stars!

We had an excellent, delicious Sunday lunch for 15 of us for mums birthday, Nikki & Dave are fantastic hosts & made us all very welcome. The pub has a great atmosphere, even an art exhibition in one room. Even though we live over an hour away we shall definitely come back to this lovely pub as the day was such a lovely experience.

Absolutely delightful food and ambience. Fisherman’s Pie was mouthwatering and the Devon pie is worth travelling for! Our 2nd visit since Dave & Nikki took over - they really know what they are doing - friendly & professional.

Sunday roast visit. Staff friendly. Lovely traditional pub with all the traditional amenities not to busy. Table of 12 in our party n all happy with meal. Ages 4-85 in iur group. All catered for.

Another amazing lunch had at the Royal Oak. Safety of there customers are a must, my wife suffers from serious allergies but we know we can eat at the Royal Oak without fear of becoming very ill. Thank you all.

A really lovely welcome to a great dog friendly pub. Sunday roast was plentiful and delicious. A great find.

What a great pub/restaurant to visit on our short trip to Wiltshire! Despite me making a mistake with the booking date Nikki and Dave made us very welcome. We had some delicious food, a few drinks with such great service. Locals were friendly, a lovely atmosphere. Everything was perfect for my partner's birthday trip. We would love to come back one day, probably the nicest pub eatery we have ever visited. Thank you Nikki and Dave.

Off the cuff visit. Managed to squeeze us in. Excellent service friendly staff good food and beer. Will definitely be back.

Great only popped in on the way passed. But I will be planning to go back soon. 👌🏻

Great food had a mid week roast and wow it was fantastic. Beer was brilliant went well with the food . Staff and bar tender very friendly and insured we had great service. Meet fellow Welsh people here who introduced us to the locals. Can't wait to go again would fully recommend a visit to the Royal Oak.

Nice and fair pub food. Lovely staff!

Passing by and stopped for a drink..lovely welcome by staff..we didnt eat but the food we saw coming out looked mouth watering..have decided to return soon and try their food.

Nice location, friendly people, and excellent desserts.

A beautiful thatched country pub. You will be welcomed by the staff who are friendly and helpful. A wide menu selection with the hot food served on hot plates! And delicious.

We decided to check out this classic thatched Wiltshire Pub on a wet, windy and cold day. The welcome was warm and friendly. The food was hot and excellent. Highly recommend this classic pub.

Good food excellent service and nice relaxed atmosphere.

Couldn’t rate this pub more highly. The staff went above and beyond to make my friend & I feel welcome and looked after this evening, and the food was superb! Extremely generous portion sizes & classic pub food done well! All of the waiting staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend to others!

Lovely country pub. Beer very good with an extremely reasonable choice. The food is fantastic. Delicious and cheap, especially the burger at only £8, which is an absolute bargain. Highly recommended from us.

Great pub lovely land lady chef and bar staff will be back !

Group of 5 cyclists had Sunday roast. They couldn’t do enough for us and the food was fantastic. This is a very different experience from what I’m used to and I cannot recommend enough. Thank you for looking after us so well.

An unexpected stop after a morning motorcycling on the Salisbury plains. Great Sunday dinner and great service in the front garden. A great way to finish the morning with a good friend. Will revisit.

Stopped off on return from visit to Urchfont. I had the midweek roast and my wife had the homity pie, truly excellent food and great value. Met Nikki and Dave (and Graham), all very friendly and we wish them all the best in their new endeavour.

A lovely draft 6X and cold pint of cider. Lovely friendly staff. Great atmosphere Looking forward to trying the food. Thoroughly recommend if your passing andxwell worth a detour to enjoy the beer.

Friendly staff, the food is really good, the suet pudding was freshly made and full of meat, and the liver and bacon was a really good size and cooked well ,gluten free options really good to. Would recommend.

Really good quality food, brilliant staff and a lovely atmosphere. The prices were very reasonable. Definitely would recommend and will certainly return when we are next in the area.

Stopped by between Stonehenge and Avebury and were treated to a nice lunch and drinks in a charming atmosphere. Thank you, Nikki, Dave and Mark!

Good food, lovely staff, paw friendly,

The best sunday roast i have had out in years. Friendly staff will be going back highly recommended

Superb meal and bar service will go again.

We stopped here on our way past on a bike ride. We didn't eat , but had some good cider and coffee. Served by a cheerful member of staff. A nice clean pub. The menu looked very good,so we shall return one day to sample it. 👍👍🍺

Really nice lunch. Staff very friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Well worth a visit.

New landlord and landlady, both lovely, our meal was absolutely delicious and I felt very safe eating there as they were very much on the ball with allergies which was a bonus for me as I have many. Great experience.

Good food, friendly affordable price, abit busy on Friday.

Delicious food, great value, welcoming waitress (5* to the waitress' service).

Relaxed Sunday lunch with family

Lovely country pub with friendly locals. Nice ride out and snacks (cheesy chips) hot and proper spuds. Very adaptable for one of our party changing her meal to meet her dietary needs. Will definitely be visiting again. The last time it was busy with slow service but food still very good.

Excellent food and freindly staff.

Typical country pub with good food and drinks. Staff are helpful. Parking is at the back of the pub and is ample for the size of the venue.

Lovely pub, very friendly young lady serving. Delicious food as well as home made doggy treats. Will go back

Good pub food. Nice selection of starters.

Best roast dinner and starters mushroom on toast in garlic we have eaten in many months. great service and excellent Value and we're be back 😋 😀 🙌 😉 😎 👌

Friendly service but long wait for 2 simple meals with only one other table being served food. Avocado in the salmon and crayfish salad was missing. Slow to bring out the avocado and it was inedible because it was unripe (rock hard). It would have been better to just say that no avocado available and offer some form of discount or free coffee.

Beautiful pub, fantastic food and excellent staff. Highly recommend!

Just had meal tonight three of us all very pleased Food was excellent steaks cooked to perfection . Not overpriced either. Very nice clean pub . Staff was lovely and good table service. Definitely will be back.

Very friendly owners with great staff, nice food and a large garden.

Great venue, great staff, lovely meal.

Great pub with historic charm, large carpark and outside eating area. Sunday lunch was decent just wish there was a little more of it for £11. Overall I'd visit again.

Excellent lunch with friends today. I had the surf & turf which was really good. As was the steak pie and the salmon & leek pie had by the others. Very pleasant experience in the warm September sunshine

Great food and looking forwards to this becoming my local. Everyone is so friendly.

Lovely food,staff and atmosphere.

Great service very nice food and at good prices

The food served in this lovely pub is beyond belief. I drive from Bristol to eat here - it's worth it. The Royal Oak has a great menu and daily specials offering amazing variety even at lunchtime when there may be few diners. The quality of everything is excellent and I highly recommend it. The hanging baskets are pretty darned good too.

Lovely pub in a beautiful village. Great food, generous portions. Friendly and accomodating staff. Great vegetarian selection. Clean toilets.

A great place to visit. A timely, accessible and quality experience for customers. You tell me what's agility? A nice place to bring family, friends, and reserved infants. Keep up the great work. :)

Very good service and and quality food at a very reasonable price .

The Royal Oak is a fantastic pub with great food! The locals aren't too bad either 😉

proper good food pub. nice quick cheesy chips for bar snacks. friendly staff

Excellent food in a lovely atmosphere

Very good service, the staff make a big effort to make you feel welcome and make sure you are being served in good time. Good choice of food which is reasonably priced and well presented. Nice atmosphere and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Food is ok for pub food but very pricey for what you get. Most of the staff are ok

Muy buena comida, un gran servicio y precio correcto

Very friendly staff, lovely food. We went to celebrate my dad's birthday. Had a really lovely meal.

Lovely meal for 2, vegetarians well catered for & upon arrival we were shown to our table; service was prompt & efficient & there was a good choice of vegetarian dishes to choose from. Will definitely be going back again - perhaps to try the veggie Sunday lunch next!

Drove by this pub at lunchtime and it looked so nice we turned around and went back, The village of Easterton is beautiful and it just looked so inviting. On arrival we were greeted by a lovely young lady. We didnt eat, just had a relaxing drink, but looked at the menu and it all sounded very nice and the smell coming from the kitchen was amazing. The decor was traditional with a huge fire place, and very clean toilets all on one level. Parking outside and dog friendly. All in all a lovely place, we will be going back for food.

Excellent food, friendly staff who make you feel very welcome. They served every mother with a bucks fizz on the house today for Mothering Sunday. Thank you.

Very friendly staff with good food.

Is a very nice play good food and people five stars recomended

Great place, and we'll recommend.

Lovely atmosphere with a log fire 😊

I have eaten at the Royal Oak many times this year plus 2 more 'christmas menu' meals booked for December. They have a vast ,varied menu plus a specials board. The food is excellent and always well presented and hot. I liked the vegetables already being on your plate for the Sunday roast so your dinner didn't get cold sharing around the veg dish to everyone. Always a friendly welcome and the staff are very efficient and can't do enough for you. Thanks to you all and well done on your first year.

Stay clear if you don't want cold food and confrontation! How can you give 0 stars? Because this is what the chef (also the owner) deserve for such an appalling attitude and manner in which he presented himself to my family and I. We had gone to celebrate my bothers 40th and the birth if my nephews, with my partner, my children and my mother. It started with a simple request for warm chips (as 3 of our party had cold chips) within seconds of requesting they be changed, the chef (and also co-owner) came out and scolded "which one of you is complaining about the chips!?" He then went on to tell us that the chips aren't cold, even after he tried one of the cold chips! His tone and attitude was horrible and i felt embarrassed and threatened in front of my children. My blood was boiling and my partner was fuming at his front. I came close to throwing my plate at him and walking out. Eventually he reluctantly replaced the chips by which time the rest of my food was cold. My partner owns her own catering business and decided to speak to the chef after we had left and his comment was "well you're not local, you're not likely to come here again anyway" That was enough for me I also will add that the chicken was dry and chewy. And their cabretta bread was quite stale, and their ham was clearly out of a packet and no carved.... but i wouldn't have given a bad review based on this alone. Such a shame as the bar staff and waiter couldn't have been any nicer... to be let down by such an ignorant and rude manager; who clearly needs some further cooking lessons and a few extra lessons in customer service! Stay clear if you don't want cold food and confrontation.
