The Royal Oak in Wrexham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Sat outside on a hot sunny afternoon. Overlooking the river Dee and the amazing cobbled bridge. Charming village and due to the pub's location is an ideal spot to enjoy a drink or two.

Sunday lunches were advertised on the board for £10. Staff failed to inform us that there was a supplement of £4 extra if you ordered lamb and that there was a service charge of £2.80. What started of appearing to be a decent value for money lunch for 2 at £20 turned out costing £30.80. In my opinion not good value at all

Been many times after a day's kayaking, great place lovely food

Sunday lunch was delicious. Hot tasty food. Service was very good indeed. Only niggle was ladies toilets were a little messy but it wont put me off going again

A favourite for many years. As a riverside pub where you can expect a decent pint, it fulfils the brief. Bar staff are polite, friendly and attentive. Ben is a legend.

A great pub in a great location.. Shame it wasn't used to its full potential.. Barman was friendly service was good shame it so empty..

Friendly staff and patrons, nice view of the old church and cemetery

Lovely hidden gem of a pub 👌great food and really good coffee ☕️ 😀

Meat more processed than fresh. Foul and aggressive language from 'chef' . Customer at bar freely using vipe and one regular asking who had sex last night directed at 2 young female staff. Won't be returning.

Visited late on a Sunday afternoon. We both had Bird & Beast (turkey & beef) dinner. Beef appeared to be pre sliced and turkey appeared to be not carved straight from a joint. Veg and potatoes were fine. Paid £15 each for the meals.

Perfect fish with light batter and chunky chips, Local lager great taste . The pizza was so big that half was taken home . We were unimpressed with the hake fillet, otherwise it would have been 5 stars for the food

First time dining yesterday, Sunday Lunch very good, service also good, however wished I'd been told about discretionary service charge added to my bill, if I return I will ask for this to be removed. I'll be the judge of how much I'll tip thanks

This is a great place for a bite to eat and a drink. The food and drink were spot on, staff were polite and friendly, service was fast, and the sun was shining. What more could you ask for.

Sunday lunch great plenty on plate , pudding nice. Service could have been better one girl serving doing everything felt sorry for her.

Nice views sat outside had drink.

Went for tea with the 2 kids. Food was amazing as was the service. Made us all feel very welcome. Definitely returning 👍🏾

Friendly staff and excellent food. Good value for money

The food was delicious and the service was brilliant

Pint and a pizza. Can't ho wrong

Kim and I, together with our dogs Monty and Stanley, called in on the off-chance for a meal on August Bank Holiday Monday. The bar managers were welcoming, and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Fresh water provided for the dogs and brought to the table with two dog biscuits. Kim and I had Ciabattas with bacon, brie and cranberry with a small salad, coleslaw and fries which were tasty and well presented. A lovely pub excellently staffed. Thank you.😀

Had the Sunday roast, £12 good price for what was in offer , great service , really nice staff .

Service was lovely and quick - plenty of options available even for a Sunday afternoon. Male toilet facilities also acceptable, though rather small.

We had a great dinner and a very enjoyable time at the Royal Oak. The Steak and Ale pie was excellent. The pub itself is low key and really hits the mark. If you haven’t been in a while, I highly suggest you visit soon. If you’ve never been, head on over. Bangor-on-Dee is a beautiful village, right on the River Dee, with great views and scenic walks. The Oak has outdoor seating too. Thanks.

Second time that we have visited in 10 days. Fantastic meal with a menu that had options that suited 3 different generations. Service was excellent, food was tasty, hot and plentiful. Unpretentious but comfortable and authentic setting. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the menu on the website is VERY out of date so don't let that put you off. We will be back as it was an extremely enjoyable meal.

Absolutely lovely meal, everything was cooked to perfection. Service was exemplary, our server Olivia was so welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Husband thoroughly enjoyed his bread and butter pudding, which he said was absolutely delicious! (I was too full to have dessert!) Prices included our drinks too

Looked in our cupboards and nothing appealed so we ventured out for random pub visit. Really friendly happy staff immediately gave us a good impression, hoped the food was going to be equally as good.... A very short wait later our food arrived, looked great and tasted even better! I had the steak which was cooked to perfection, rest of family loved theirs to including my very fussy 4 year old! We'll be back soon, very soon!! Great pub!🍻

Called in and had family meal and stayed overnight with motorhome. Welcoming and very friendly. Travelling with family from Germany who were very impressed. Beautiful setting 😍

lovely staff, great food reasonably priced. x x

Pastries on the bar and friendly staff. What's not to like?

Great pub atmosphere and most of cracking pint of estrella

We came late on a busy race meeting day. Offered the reduced menu initially, the team reacted quickly when they realised how hungry we were! Full menu - our choices cooked very well and with brilliant service. Not high end but very very good pub grub. We will go again.

Friendly attentive service in a great location.

Only called on for drink but ok.

Lovely pub great food great beer great location 🍻😊

A huge Sunday lunch for £10 and a sponge pudding for dessert. I would highly recommend 😃

Nice pub, friendly, lovely setting.

Decent Sunday roast for the price. . Would definitely go back,

Very good meal. Served very quickly by delightful staff. All very friendly. Shame there weren't many diners there. They are missing a treat. Come on support The Royal Oak. We visited twice in one week because it's so good.

A Google search help us come across this pub for Sunday lunch and I can highly recommend it. The staff were brilliant, the Sunday lunch delicious and great value for money. Will definitely recommend and return

We called at the Royal Oak for a Sunday lunch after walking in Llangollen. We have visited here a few times in the past & always enjoyed it. Sunday lunch is very, very good value @ £10 & it was good to be asked if we were enjoying our food, we were. We will definitely visit again in the future when in the area

Nice staff great food lovely ambiance

Very accommodating good pub great staff.

Great meal, we were a late booking, they run out of several things, but what we had was lovely, 1 of my grand children only eats chicken, so tried a vegetarian option but didn't like it, the staff were great, there was a large car park and access for disabled, it was my birthday, hope we go there next year

Good food big portions friendly staff well done guys

Nice place and staff good food

Abysmal - The Royal Oak claims to serve "quality food". It does not. We visited and ordered two philly steak sandwiches and chips. The meal was well presented and the waiting staff were excellent but the steak was in the main chunks of fat and gristle. How a chef could have carved it and served it in a sandwich- defies belief ! We pointed this out to the waitress who subsequently returned from the kitchen with a half hearted apology from the kitchen pointing out that steak can be fatty (in other words we didn`t know what we were talking about and should have been grateful for a sandwich of fat and gristle) , though an undertaking was made to raise it with the supplier. Quite what consolation this was- I am unsure ! We paid the bill and left -never to return.

Nice service attentive. Took grandchildren and dog. Great food.

What a lovely pub! The staff were really friendly and efficient, couldn't do enough for us. The food was really tasty and not too expensive neither. We were blessed with the weather (Aug 22) and to sit outside right by the river and church the views are gorgeous. But even the inside of the pub is so cosy and the toilets spotless. Would definitely recommend. I'll be back anyway!

Nice pub. First time that I've visited in 40 years. Lovely location.

Lovely pub, excellent service and food fab, come here every year, dog friendly and lovely to sit by the river, would recommend 😀

Extortionately expensive and miserable bar tender. £12.45 for a medium Pinot Grigio and a pint of Guinness! After reading all the very good reviews about this pub, we decided to pay a visit. I wish we hadn't bothered. The staff member behind the bar on the Wednesday evening August 2022 was very grumpy. Hardly a word spoken and no hint of a smile. Then to be charged over £12 for two drinks was rediculous. Needless to say, we won't be visiting again and I definitely won't be recommending to others.

Good food with great staff made for a nice afternoon drive out. Thank you 😊

Hidden gem. Great gardens. Great beer.

A warm welcome at this clean and fresh pub. Staff very attentive and one of the best Hawaiian pizzas I have ever had! Central for some lovely walks and convenient for the racecourse.

Lovely pub in a lovely setting next to the river.

Beautiful place and excellent service and food friendly staff

Lovely pub in a beautiful location, would highly recommend, the food was great 👍

Great food, fantastic service. Highly recommended

Came to sit outside for a drink and when we went in the boy behind the bar said he’s too busy to serve us 2 drinks, we went outside and went back in 10 minutes later and asked again and he said no once again. We sat outside again and watched 2 other couples come in and be served drinks in the time we were sat there that were also sitting outside. Terrible service wouldn’t bother going as they seem to pick and choose who they serve.

As a local and Twenty Years of drinking in the Royal Oak I requested 1 Pint of Cider at 8.15pm Thursday 23rd June only to be told by a young lad he wasn’t serving drinks tonight because he had two tables to serve ! A Total of 15 People were in the Pub not exactly record breaking. My advice is appoint more experienced staff asap before you lose not only the Summer trade but the local trade also……

Dog friendly pub , easy to park food was excellent, staff friendly nice relaxed atmosphere 👌 would recommend a visit.

The service was great, the young lady looked after us very well and the food was well presented hot and tasted lovely.

Lovely meal outside in the booths

Lovely pub in fantastic location, too late for food, but beers were very nice, definitely visit again very soon for proper meal !!

I haven't actually eaten my dinner yet but with staff as lovely as they are here I don't care much about the food. I'm gluten intolerant and they really care. They're kind and human and the place is beautiful.

Really enjoyed our meal at The Royal Oak. The meal was presented well and the staff were friendly and helpful. We visited on a Monday afternoon (a sunny one!) and there were plenty of people enjoying a drink and a bite to eat which made for a great atmosphere. It had been quite awhile since our last visit but hopefully it won’t be as long to our next.

This has to be the worst pub I’ve been in for years, Mothers Day set menu, total rubbish, 3 tiny prawns and 2 little bits of crayfish for £9 after a 40 minute wait. An hour later the mains hadn’t arrived so we asked for the bill. We argued it and the manager ( a very rude chap ) said the cost of food had gone up, idiot!!! The pub was dirty and cobwebs everywhere, just rubbish, avoid at all costs…

A lovely old Pub with a fantastic location. Situated opposite the historic church and the ancient Bridge that straddles the river Dee. Ample parking spaces and outdoor seating plus lawns. A good variety of beers available and a varied selection on the menu. The food is very good, l enjoyed mine and going by the empty plates being collected can only be a good sign. The young staff worked hard and was pleasantly helpful. Very enjoyable and l recommended it. 👍

Very nice pub with really lovely food right in the centre of the village and within a stones throw from the river. We had a lovely time. The steak chips were fabulous. Don't believe me, give em a try!

Poor service, 40mins for meal to come, staff not very attentive

Lovely food. Very nice pub Great location next to the river. Definitely will recommend the Royal Oak. We will be back soon

Great welcome and Beautiful food.

I visit the oak on a weekly basis, it’s a great location next to the river etc and the food is good old honest pub grub..

General feeling of being a bit neglected, although we had a great evening catching up with friends. 30 mins to take orders, 40 mins for food to arrive, another 30 mins for dessert orders to be taken and almost as long for them to be delivered. Enjoyed the food though limited veg options, couldn't decide if it was pub or a restaurant.

Great tasty fresh food. Friendly helpful staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Great for a family meal but also for that nice quiet romantic time together in a great country side setting. Lovely outdoor area with outdoor lighting and private boothes.

Excellent meal . You won't be disappointed. Great value. Will be back.

Food was absolutely delicious. Starter was Pil Pil prawns the sauce and dipping bread mouthwatering. Mediterranean Sea bass cooked to perfection. Obviously to dark and cold 18 30 Christmas eve but would be fabulous sat outside in the spring summer right by the side of the river Dee. Mark the manager was extremely helpful.

Very nice pub with really good friendly service. The food was very good and again for my posts the local brew is exceptionally good.

Nice place good food a little bit expensive well worth it sat outside by the river five arch Roman bridge opposite church

Lovely location on the river dee.exellent food.

Just had a fantastic meal at The Royal Oak Bangor on Dee. Service was great too.

Nice pub, not a great selection of ales, leans more to the lagers. Friendly service

Lovely lunch. Food was delicious. Really tasty side salad and a fantastic crumble. Very reasonable. Would recommend.

Oh what a meal. I'm sorry to say but I failed to finish my beef borginion, (not sure of the spelling). It was delicious, really filling. Very tasty and hot. My wife had the prawn ciabatta. SP? That was the best she had ever had. Certainly visit again. 10/10.

Excellent lunch stop, top notch onion rings

One of the best steaks i have had in a long time great staff very friendly and helpful only downside is could of done with more chips

Lovely setting, lovely food. Thankyou very much we will come again !!

Lovely meal, fantastic service, great little pub

Sorry. Pretty dreadful evening here. Staff tried their best but 60mins wait for main courses (which were okay.. and I mean only just okay.. which surprised me having read the glowing reviews) and 40mins for desserts (soupy ice cream) just isn't on. If there's a problem in the kitchen tell customers, manage our expectations, then you won't get poor reviews.

I love this pub, but unfortunately with tge welsh lockdown i haven't been able to go for a while. Saying that nothing has changed with the pub. Friendly and professional as always. Will be going back soon.

Nice pub great food, nice views and well maintained

Just stopped off for a quick drink on the way back to Manchester, sat at the tables next to the river, very pleasant, good quick service by the young ladies too.

Given the reviews was expecting great things. Croquettes tasted as though they were cooked in old oil, burger was dry and bland, chips were chunky but only just cooked inside. Both chicken dishes were dry and disappointing. Chocolate torte was like over-cooked brownie round the edge and one had a hair in the middle, had to ask for it to be taken off the bill, wasn't offered. Service was 50/50, lady was lovely and attentive, young chap didn't seem to know what was going on.

If you want quick service, and horrible food, go to McDonald's. If you want food that wasn't cooked in a microwave, I would go here. The food took a while to turn up, but that's not a problem if its nice. I had the mushroom starter, and fish and chips for main, with a side of onion rings, followed by sticky toffee pudding. I can't complain about any of it. The chiabatta was nicely toasted and still crispy (other review said their was soggy - mine wasn't) the fish and chips was spot on, and the onion rings were too. I have a big appetite, and I was full after this. However, I had my arm twisted by my Mrs, to get pudding. It was almost uncomfortable to eat, but it was very nice! If you have a normal appetite, I'd go for two courses, not three. Staff were on the ball, always asking if everything was OK, and if we wanted anything else. I would go back again.

Lovely food,fast service,friendly staff. Couldn't ask for anything more. Definitely go back again.

Very nice meal..gluten free menu was a bonus for us..

Late arriving (8:45pm) in Bangor-on-Dee, we were hungry and thirsty and they fixed both needs. The food choices were interesting and enjoyed, even if they only had one ale on the bar. It's a super site on the river bank and pleasantly appointed for outside dining. The prices are rather tourist-high and the menu hints at something a lot posher but still recommended.

Great food and the staff are lovely.

Lovely place in the summer to sit by the river and have a drink and watch the world go by xx

Not that impressed with this place. Yes it was clean and the staff were happy to deal with customers. But, the length of time we had to wait for food was unreal. I was sat opposite a family with 2 toddlers. They'd waited 40 minutes for their starters. The choice on the menu was good and prices seemed fair, till the food arrived. The creamy garlic mushrooms were awful. The ciabbatta was soaked in the sauce and the garlic was very obvious in large chunks. The main course I gave up with. Beer battered fish, chunky chips and mushy please. Fish was over cooked and looked burnt and I struggled to cut into it. The batter was awful and the fish was tough like a cheap steak. The mushy peas were dried out and tasteless too. The shandy though, was very nice. But all in all, I definitely wouldn't go back.
