The Royal Oak in Broxtowe

Absolutely fantastic renovation, great atmosphere, lots of hard work gone into it, beautiful bar, restaurant and function room. Warm welcome, great service. Will definitely be visiting again.

We came for Sunday lunch for my daughters birthday. Everything was lovely, the waitresses were funny and very nice and it was good to see proper roast potatoes. The only small gripe was the cauliflower cheese, I don't think it wasn't like the doghouse version. Had a great time though. Thank you x

Amazing place. Get Sunday lunch

Beautifully renovated Great food

An amazing experience post refurbishment. The food was brilliant, the atmosphere was great and we'll definitely be going back. The pub itself is well suited to be the perfect summer pub with the park for the kids and also a great cosy pub for the autumn/winter. Well done to the owners for their vision and execution of the redevelopment. Already looking forward to a pint by the fire in the winter months.

Been going regularly since they renovated and we love it! We went last Sunday, forgetting it was their first Sunday serving roasts, however they were so accommodating and got us in for food, despite not booking and then being really busy!! The roast was incredible, and served with faves such as stuffing, yorkies whether you chose beef or chicken!! The staff are so friendly and the food came quick!! The atmosphere is cosy and always playing good music! They always give treats to our dog and make a fuss of him!! It’s our new favourite local, we’ve been missing a good pub in the area like this!! Looking fwd to seeing an expanded menu in the future!

It's only been open a few months and it's probably my most visited pub. Came last Sunday for lunch without booking however staff were very accommodating and got us in with our cocker spaniel (he said thank you for the treats). We've ate twice here, one normal which we had the chicken burger. No words, outstanding! Secondly we had the Sunday roast which was good too!! Looking forward to trying this pie we've been told about 👀

Wood burner giving a warm and cosy feel. The young man behind the bar asked the chef to come out and talk us through the menu. Service was superb. The light lunch we had was pretty good as well.

We booked the outside party venue...so lovely inside, beautifully decorated...the food was really good and lots of it.....the staff were so friendly and welcoming and actually added to the lovely atmosphere.... definitely recommend.

Excellent venue with function room great staff food and friendly staff.

Recently re-opened this is a grwat pub to rival the Queens Head, good local cask beers and food which is tasty and reasonable price.

Always good service and staffing

What a fantastic refurbishment of a tired pub. These "guys" really have a talent and flair for the final outcome. They transformed The Dog House (can't remember it's old name), and now added The Royal Oak transformation to their portfolio. Wow to the inside, DOUBLE WOW to the outside ..... must try the the food when we can.

Excellent refurbishment of an old pub. Many seating areas with a great atmosphere. Only light bites available when we visited.

Visited for the first time this evening after the major refurbishment of this old village pub. It looks very different to the old world pub from before but the quality of the workmanship and finishes was exceptional. Bit of a wait at the bar for drinks and to order food. Only serving snack menu at present. I ordered a sharing platter which, when it came, was beautifully presented (and tasted lovely) but it took nearly 45 minutes to serve due to a large party elsewhere in the pub; we were given an update after half an hour. A very different experience to before and I would visit again in future.

Came in for food and waited almost an hour for stale bread. Shocking service.

Called in today for the first time since this pub was reopened about a month ago. The pub has been beautifully restored and the staff delightful. We wanted a light lunch but the menu was quite sparse (I guess Tapas style?) and the food very mediocre. My wife ordered mushroom pate which had a sloppy texture and was tasteless. I also ordered truffle and Parmesan fries. Out came ordinary fries. This was rectified in fairness but the truffle couldn’t be tasted and there was simply a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over them. My Korean chicken was very salty and had no crunch whatsoever. Overall our experience was poor and we won’t be going back until we can see evidence of a much improved menu of better quality. This “Light bites summer menu” doesn’t cut the mustard I’m afraid. Hope it improves soon.

Lost of playing room at the back of the Royal Oak for kids can play good old pub food

Superb renovation and a lovely venue for drinks . Food wasn't offered yet

Greatly place for a quiet drink

Shocking from start to finish. Popped in and asked to use the baby change facility and was told that the owners don’t like children so therefore won’t be catering for children. I think this is an absolute disgrace that a business can have such a little regard for families. Wasn’t even offered an alternative disgusting.

Once a great local community pub, now ruined. The new external layout is good but the internal cramped and a bit naff. Once the first flush of have a look at the refit customers have lost interest and the weather turns they will struggle as the staff / management attitude is poor too as others have mentioned.

amazing refurb.stunning..great range of products.well done you guys

atmosphere was dull and service was terrible. Waited a hour just to see somebody

Food over cooked had to ask for a steak knife. Had to have some food when I got home. Not be eating there again. The outside is very nice

Just been to the newly refurbished royal Oak.The new outdoor seated area is really nice and inside is just as good .Drinks are not as expensive as other pubs in the area so I would recommend you visit and try for yourselves.

Lovely refurbishment, inside and out, great quality outdoor furniture, A little pricey on drinks

Food was beautiful. Place and decor beautiful.. highly recommend. Out door garden and patio so relaxing and great comfy furniture.

Just opened told if we were only having a drink we had to go out side. Said all the tables were for dinners . But the pub only had 3 people in. Mada to feel very unwelcome.

Great refurbishment - well done Paul & Emma! We really enjoyed our meal in the restaurant upstairs, staff were very smiley and friendly. The food was well presented and we’ll definitely be back! 😋

Delicious beer, friendly service, amazing atmosphere and a beautiful garden. I recommend

Went for drinks with friends, beautiful atmosphere, superb refurbishment all round, outdoor patio areas and gardens, play area for kids, absolutely stunning..

Lovely Sunday roast, room was a little loud.

Recently changed hands and this was the first time I'd visited since. Was not disappointed. Reasonable price on beer at £3.70 for Blue Monkey Infinity, had Sunday lunch too - booking strongly advised! Food was excellent and very generous portions. One of the best in the area. Highly recommended.

Had Sunday lunch here today for the first time and it was absolutely amazing! First of all the people were lovely and very attentive, then the food was fresh, hot and perfectly seasoned! No need for any salt at all. Lastly the price is bang on. Can't recommend the place enough!

I always love a good old pint at the Oak.

First visit, tried to ring and email to book a table but no joy, advised to book through Facebook page. We arrived at 12 and we we advised we could eat and a table was found, lovely friendly staff, behind bar and in the eating area, lovely comfy seats, room was a little chilly on arrival but once door was closed it soon warmed up. Good selection of ales, beers, guns, Food was absolutely delicious 😋, piping hot, portion sizes were huge, we had Sunday lunches, in offer was beef or chicken breast, and I had nut roast, there was lovely mash, yorkies, roasties, roast carrots and parnsips and stuffing then in a separate dish was peas, broccoli, red cabbage and then another dish of delicious cauliflower cheese, the portions as I say were huge so as for a smaller portion if your not a big eater. Deserts were a choice id sticky toffee pudding and custard which was delicious 😋 and red velvet cheese cake and you could have ice cream. A friend recommended here and it didn't disappoint!! Will definitely be back. £12.80 for a lunch and £2.80 for desert, drinks were £3.70 per pint that was for a tribute ale and a John Smith's. They have a small bar area, toilets and a beer garden.

For quite a long time ( almost 2 yrs ) , I was in a urge to visit this place , but unfortunately I didn't get a time. So last week finally I made it and it was wonderful place to sit and have a drink. Parking- 5/5 Staff - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Ambience- 5/5

Went for Sunday roast. Food was fantastic. Very happy with the service provided. Staff very kind.

Great pub for the family, the staff makes you feel at home.

Best burger and chips I've ever eaten

We used the back room for a wake. It was perfect . We arrived 30 minutes early, and it was not a problem. We were looked after very well. Thank you .. The food was excellent and plentiful xx

Had a quick drink so can't comment on the food. Nice pub, small enclosed rear garden. Planning another visit soon

Was only a quick visit but felt friendly atmosphere with a good selection of beers/ciders.

Just enjoyed a very tasty, hot and reasonably priced meal. Would highly recommend for a relaxing Sunday dinner with family and friends. Pleasant and polite staff.

Wonderful service and Sunday roast. Highly recommended and value for money. Bonus is that they are also dog friendly. We will be back again!

Popped in for drink after nice walk

Nice beer good food excellent service nice little party room around the back 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Nice little local and the red wine was half the price of a local compettitor - winner winner

Nice pub good beer and a fun quiz

Cracking service and well kept excellent choice of draught beers.

Lovely pub with loads of history really nice staff and locals

Great local pub with good atmosphere and good guest ales! Board game night every Tuesday evening is the cherry on top!

Quaint little pub, great space at rear for small gatherings to hire. On street parking only as on main village road.

Great friendly staff lovely garden area

Nice little function room tucked out back of the pub , not many tables fit in but is a nice room. No vodka available at the bar I thought was quite strange on a Saturday night . Wasnt keen on the in house buffet, no serving utensils and sandwiches drying out.

We had heard that the Oak’s Sunday dinner was good so decided to try it and weren’t disappointed. On the contrary, very friendly staff, attentive service, all made a fuss of our dog. Prices very reasonable indeed and generous portions of meat and full vegetables. WIne very well priced. Standard of food was really high - clearly freshly cooked and my wife’s beef and my pork were both done perfectly cooked. The test is whether you would go back and we definitely would.

Lovely bar staff, friendly atmosphere. Excellent Sunday dinners!

Nice friendly staff and nice Sunday lunch

Second visit. This time had the Sunday roast. Food was absolutely great with nice seasonal veg and a range of puddings. Had a pint or three of Timothy Taylor real ale which was extremely well kept. Other ales on are Citra and BG Sips. Good pub all round.

Went in for food and drink was told there was no chef so left disappointed 😑

Food good room good but no toilets for the disabled

Went to a birthday party, staff were so polite, very helpful, timely service, lovely place.

Was there for an event in the backroom. This is great small self contained space. A good selection of outdoor seating too.

Really enjoyed our dinner at the Royal Oak, the portion sizes were really big but still really lovely, good quality food. In our party we tried honey belly pork, beef and lamb shank Sunday dinners with sides of pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese, everything was delicious and even the horseradish tasted home made. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back.

Cramped and awful service. Over half an hour for our order to be taken and then over an hour for food! Will definitely find elsewhere next time we're down this way. Edit - the royal Oak have replied to this review to say they were short staffed, it would have been better to explain the situation whilst we were there and not just leave us sat getting frustrated.

The Guinness is the bizz clean cool and refreshing.

Merry Christmas 2 the staff, the Rockin Rudolph was delicious. 🎅

Nice little sunday lunch plenty of veg (to hard) for my liking but son loved them like that, beef was lovely

Visited today and the Sunday lunch was amazing and the staff were very friendly will definitely be back again soon.

Lovely little pub, nice atmosphere, and pleasant service.

Fantastic Sunday Dinner with fresh great quality ingredients and amazing value. Friendly helpful staff Really recommend!

Just been to the royal Oak for Sunday lunch for the first time wat a lovely pub staff were very polite and helpful and the food was amazing will definitely return gunna make this little gem my local

Nice little pub with a good function room at the back

Lovely pub i fount on my travels. Beer garden was great, loved all the flowers and the bar staff was very welcoming x

Very good food & decent beer, lovely sun trap out in the yard.

First time visiting. Sunday roast dinner was exceptional. So tasty and home cooked. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely return.

Friendly staff, good beers and good quality and tasty food.

Brilliant night ,had my sons wedding party there

Cosy local pub. Would certainly come for second visit. Fair price for food you get 😋

Usually the food, drink, atmosphere is good and friendly . Three of us went in for a roast dinner - it was atrocious- cold - 1 slice of beef on the dinner - Yorkshire pudding burnt as well as cold - the veg was paltry - roast pots not only cold and hard but microwaved as were the parsnips. Gravy was watery gravy granules but the finale was when I complained about the broccoli being yellow I was told it was bought from the farm shop next door therefore guaranteeing it’s freshness ??? I honestly only usually post good reviews and bad ones, especially in the current climate, I leave to experience but the waitress was so rude arguing with me I feel the need to warn potential customers. Maybe the chef was having a bad day as I said the food is usually good, the waitress needs some customer service training

Fantastic service mixed with delicious Sunday roast menu makes this a really easy five star review to write. See you again soon.

Friendly pub with a good beer garden to the rear

Nice outdoor space dog friendly and very friendly staff.Good system for ordering and most importantly good selection of real ales.

Really nice little pub. Excellent, well priced food. 4 adults went, not one bit of food left of any plates.

Easy choice, 5 stars. Lovely, friendly and for a country pub, fantastic vegetarian options. More then just a 'dog friendly' pub too!

Great place and ideal atmosphere! 100% recomend.

A very friendly and warm welcome. I felt safe and everyone seemed to follow Covid practice.

Lovely pub with good food, nice beer, and lovely staff.

Had dinner and drinks with a friend. Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff and felt very happy with all the Covid-19 regulations being followed.

Good atmosphere staff amazing 👍🏼👍🏼🍻

Good table service Social distancing is good

Sherwood pines is great for a walk, bike or run. Tons of parking, there's an app you can use to pay too. Amazing woodland walk. Cafe is really busy and disorganised alas so very slow, take your own snacks. Good play areas and Go Ape is ace

Fantastic food really great value, nice selection of drinks and friendly staff will definitely be visiting again

Good food very friendly staff good atmosphere!

They serve really delicious meals such as Lamb Shank friendly staff

Very disappointed ☹️ no idea what to do on entering the pub regarding COVID regulations. Glared at as had to stand in open door waiting to get an idea of where to go to get a table/served etc. Won’t be going again I’ll stick to Horse and Groom at Moorgreen who have excellent staff, systems and food.

Fantastic pub with great staff.

Lovely shopping centre, only downfull JD SPORTS. It was a let down for my son. He wanted to purchase a pair of trainers, no go in size 10.

Fantastic pub food is amazing got served by a Fab bar maid believe her name was Nicola lovely girl and a credit to the pub
