The Royal Oak in Central Bedfordshire

Great proper pub. Great simple food.

Great beer great service a fantastic local pub well worth a visit 👍🏻👍🏻

A local pub for the local toffs, not for someone passing through or anyone new.

The Royal Oak has a cozy vibe and tasty drinks. Perfect for chilling out or grabbing a bite. Definitely worth a visit! 😉

Still so awesome. Came here a few years ago, when I lived nearby. I still like it. Love the booth ideas.

Good service and always a decent pint. Good selection of wine and cocktails.

A pleasant pub with decent beer and sheltered outdoor seating.

Lovely staff and always welcomed xx

Nice apmospher, cosy place, you can drink outside with table chairs and tent shape inside, it has heaters to

Really liked it in here feels very cosy, love the prosecco glasses and the single bottle holder. Really nice staff!

Lovely spot. Bar food was nice, beef nachos was huge & scotch egg decent. Staff were really welcoming & beer beautiful. Takeaway food from nonnas also available, but not tried!

v nice traditional old English pub

Fabulously warm pods out the front. Warm welcome inside. Car park at rear. Good beer.

you have done a great job of the pub

Friendly pub, good choice of ales. Live music (Liam) on the night we were there. We had a great night.

Great pub, any time of the day, if you're a local or just visiting, would recommend 🍻🍷

Sat in garden on very hot day. Limited shade. Possibly better when not so hot. Just had scotch egg to eat, which was good

Lovely pint of ale and tasty scotch egg, perfect light lunch

before we got a chance to decide and order a drink, some lady member of staff with brown hair infantilised us, patronised us and stated that the pub "wasn't a playground", despite us all being of age. truly awful staff, never returning again xxxxx. spoons would never

Lovely pub with friendly staff. An enjoyable experience.

Always has a great atmosphere, live music most Fridays and bar staff and landlord are always great fun.

Thanks Helen great service for the knitting girls!

Lovely pub, friendly staff, great atmosphere

Absolutely loved this pub! After a long dog walk on Aspley Heath what better place to relax in this beautiful little pub. Wide selection of drinks and great little food menu, bar was packed with locals and the outdoor area was busy with walkers and dogs. The outside tables are covered with individual booths with heaters, lights, cushions and blankets. A must for anyone that wants a cold pint after a long walk. Definitely returning!

Great pub, cool atmosphere, extensive drink selection

The best pub in Woburn Sands, and one of the very best in the area. I come here all the time. Brilliant staff, and a wide range of drinks and bar snacks. Cosy inside, and heated pods for sitting outside when it's chilly. Also live music, featured events and food vans. I've never left here disappointed, and you won't either!

Nice friday night out, great range of drinks live music was in so great atmosphere, would recommend this pub for a night out

Very friendly staff and good beer

Lovely pub good food ,great atmosphere

Great pub and great outside sitting area.

Great place to come in the summer and winter. Friday nights are awesome with the live music

Beautiful little pub. Gorgeous pods outside. Definitely worth a visit.

Great little pub. Those pods are very cute.

I'm one of the most frequently booked musicians that play at the Royal Oak in Apsley Heath, and it's always a riotous good time every time. The locals have well and truly got behind this place, and rightly so. They're all big characters and aren't ever afraid of getting up and having a dance, even if sometimes we all struggle a bit for room! 😅 The bar is loaded for all your alcoholic beverage needs including beers, guest ales, wines and spirits, and the pub also plays host to various food trucks and mobile catering units. In addition to live music, there's always an assortment of classic pub entertainment such as quizzes, open mic nights and even speed dating. Sure, it might not be the biggest pub in the county, but it more than makes up for it in character and popularity. Here's to many more wild nights at The Royal Oak! 🌳🍻

Lovely place for a post woodland walk pint. Even the dog sort of settles...

Small venue but good atmosphere.

Lovely pub with a warm welcome. Serves v tasty simple hand made food and great cake. Excellent service. Thanks

Friendly pub with traditional values . You feel relaxed and there are nice seat pods to join up with friends . Staff efficient very good.

Beautiful pub situated just outside of Bedford Waitress was very welcoming

Great village pub, brilliant beer and service!

Hard to judge as it was packed with inebriated people Very small but with a nice terraced area outside with cabins. Lethal for the drunks though. We saw four falls in 90 minutes.

The Royal Oak is an awesome pub. The outdoor pods are super cosy and the selection of sausage rolls and cakes are a lovely addition. Not a wide selection of beers available but for a pint after a walk it's perfect.

A significant shift towards the London overspill (to be generous) and to be less generous, near brazenly noveau riche. If you like pretentious staff and clientele, fill your boots. If not, you're probably best off finding somewhere closer to MK. It is a shame. Woburn Sands has nowhere that caters to anyone who likes pubs without kids and families after 6 or 7 or 8 pm or sports. Worse still if you are working class as £££s. The one star is because the last pint I had there (11/6/22) tasted off and lo my bowels agreed. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Friendly jovial service but nought on the menu 🤔

Cracking little pub, great beer selection, very friendly people and a great atmosphere.

What a fantastic find - hidden away in the back streets of Woburn Sands this is a proper pub. No pool tables, no dartboard, no food, just a good place to sit and catch up with friends old and new. Do yourself a favour and switch your phone off when you park up (yes, there's a car park), you won't regret it.

Lovely place with great decor now it's had an upgrade. Awesome seating outside in fab wooden pods

Looking forward to a pint here in the spring

One of our favourite local pubs, visit at least once a week on our way back from riding or on a Saturday night. Super friendly and super helpful staff, nothing is too much bother and they will accommodate you where they can. Do super platters and have theme events. I just love the place

Only was outside in the cute lil pods, so lovely and cosy stopped for a drink after a nice forest walk nearby.

Proper pub. Ģood beer and no tv's and a nice welcoming fire. Excellent staff. What more do you want?

Very nice quiet friendly pub the place to stop after a long walk in the woods.

Great little pub. Smart and highend feel about it. Loved the little pods out side. Great place for a bite to ear and a beer or a date or chat with mates

nicely renovated inside and out. winter and covid freindly pods outside in the garden area.

Had the sharing meat platter really good and tasty. So friendly staff. Drinks went down well .recommend.

Had a really enjoyable coffee and cake at The Royal Oak today. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous garden pods for all weather enjoyment.

Absolutely lovely, great atmosphere friendly bar staff.

Excellent service and good surroundings

Quick and very good service. Very nice pub.

Shouldn't be saying so because won't get a seat next time. Great pub, friendly staff fantastic atmosphere

Lovely coffee, shame no lunch menu

Lovely pub very friendly staff, love the little pod's definitely go back again

Really good outside space pod's we're nice and comfortable

First visit time since the refurb and the new Landlady, WOW what a great improvement, really nice, a friendly welcome for my self and Harry, a wet dog. Wonderfull few pints of Otter. All it needs now is a snack menu, Scotch Eggs and Pork pies. . Going back very soon.

Pleasant surroundings. Well organised for Covid.

Fantastic pub now that it has a new landlord and been renovated. It would be amazing if the pods could be reserved with the current inclement weather but I can appreciate why they have chosen not to go down this route.

Great job on the renovations, fab place to go and sit out at the moment, whatever the weather. Good table service too! Still get the same lovely local feel as pre renovations too- which is great.

Brilliant night and so pleased they have reopened

Excellent service. Great staff.

Very pleasant. Visited today on my son's 18th Birthday and we enjoyed some Sharps Atlantic and Doom Bar. My boy's first pint in a pub. Great social distancing, quick and efficient service in a proper pub environment.

Good beer,really good musicians on this particular night.

Fantastic village pub, never made to feel awkward like so many small “clicky “ pubs do. Benefits from having a great guy behind the bar! God bless ya Mick! See you again soon!

Super friendly, old school PUB with charming locals & timeless ambience. Every bit as admirable as, yet magnificently incongruous with, its beautiful natural and civic surroundings.

Best homely traditional pub for miles. Staff are kind and thoughtful & a good laugh too. Highly recommended

My local pub. Friendly patrons and bartenders. This is a drinks pub only and does not supply food.

Friendly staff landlord is a good laugh says what he thinks

Lovely old style pub. Great landlord. Very friendly place to spend an evening.

Best place for Guinness in Woburn Sands, and probably MK and beyond.

The best landlord this side of Wyoming

Nice atmosphere for a few jars after work.

Nice little pub a bit expensive thow

Good place for Abbott Ale, landlord is a diamond geezer 😀

A very small traditional pub popular with the local community

This is a nice quiet little pub which seems to be stuck in the mid 60's (not a bad thing in this case).

Proper old pub which you don't get any more, beer and a glass of wine for the lady? yes sir. Great to sit outside of in the summer, great to park yourself for an afternoon of sport and chat to the locals.
