The Royal Oak in Hambleton

Good service and good food what more do you want.

Had a lovely meals and drink. Service was excellent.

I had a lovely stay here with my wife children,and extended family. Very nice evening meal, 14 of us in total, all the food come out at the same time, lovely and hot. Breakfast was great too. Nice coffee and good sausages and bacon. Room was warm cosy and clean. Thanks guys for a overall nice stay.

We only had lunch here but it was a real treat and the menu is not your typical pub menu

We love eating here as we can bring our gorgeous dog Noodles with us. Lovely food and beer. Well worth a visit.

Turned up as a group of 15 on a Saturday afternoon without booking ( we were out for a walk and decided to pop in) . The restaurant staff ( two ladies and a man ) were lovely and seated us quickly. The food came quickly which was great given there were so many of us and we hadn’t booked. The food was absolutely delicious, piping hot and the portions were large . The ladies were chatty and helped us with directions back to our accommodation. Real shame that the man behind the bar was quite rude, seemed really cross that we’d turned up to spend money in his pub! Fortunately his colleagues were extremely friendly and welcoming and we had a lovely lunch. Thank you for squeezing us in !

Lovely cosy friendly old fashioned pub in a beautiful village. Me and my husband ate here recently for Sunday lunch. Food was tasty and delicious. We both ordered the prawn cocktail as a starter and we both ordered the roast chicken dinner. Lots of food and great vegetables. Plenty of drinks choices. Glad we’d booked as very busy.

Nice local pub good friendly staff .very nice food

Lovely cosy pub but absolutely average food, served barely warm. Prices are a bit above average and the portions aren't huge, normally I can't eat a whole parmesan but I had no problem with this one, except it was one of the worst one's I've ever had in any event! I shan't be back.

Lovely service 5* friendly staff gorgeous food and dog friendly would highly recommend

Beautiful roast dinner and great service. This is a cosy place to eat and enjoy good food. Plenty of meat that was succulent and enough veg and gravy. Highly recommended

Stayed here a few times , friendly staff , food is really good and the rooms are so relaxing, it's well worth a visit if you haven’t already been and you want a relaxing night with a great atmosphere . If you like walking it’s a ideal location

Stopped here for lunch on the way to the coast. A lovely pub, dog friendly and a lot of tables. The menu has a good range of options and even offers food for the dog. Ours loved the portion of sausages.

We had the beef from the Christmas menu, it was lovely, just wished there had been a bit more on the plate.

Didn't eat here but visited several times for drinks during our stay in Great Ayton. Pleasant surroundings, friendly staff and good beer. Food looked good.

Fabulous warm atmospheric pub in the heart of Great Ayton

Lovely food. Compliments to the chef. I am a vegetarian and my fish was beautiful. I did not stay in their rooms so I cannot comment

But pricey but nice place to go to

Always great service and the food is amazing.

Food lovely . Lovely log fire .nice and warm

Great food. Great staff. Great quiz night

Well positioned on the Main Street inn great Aston This pub offers fabulous home cooked food ., value for money and good service.on the menu Royal Oak offer food your your pet dog!! The staff are very friendly and all visitors to the pub , with dogs are welcome in the main bar, seated area. So after a brisk walk along the River Leven, the Royal Oak offered a great choice on their menu, all food being “ home cooked”. We would recommend the fish & chips, accompanied with homemade tartar sauce & mushy or garden peas, and the home made pie of the day,( this day it was chicken & mushroom ) and homemade gravy! With mashed potato and garden peas. The americano coffees were also to a good….. highly recommend the Royal Oak for walkers, with or without pooches!, who need to a hearty meal, coming in from the winter cold!

Stamps cafe was closed so we looked where to get a latte . Glad we went into the Royal Oak. Lovely HOT De Vinci coffee with a shortbread biscuit ….delivered to our table by a friendly barman. Will be going here again, visited about 15.30.

Its was okay , it was busy for a Monday dinner time , it's was community luch , so lots of oaps enjoying their meals , it's okay nothing to write home about

Had a lovely lunch here with family. Excellent service and very friendly.

This was the worse meal I have ever experienced and was only a cheese and onion sandwich I bit into it and it had a long hair in it the owner said its the string off the onion it was a black and it definitely wasn't mine Service very slow only using the one till a girl was already on the till other women stood there waiting for her to finish I went up and said can I order she said I will come over she could of took my order she stood at till fir another 10 minutes waiting for her colleague to finish she could of took my order while she was stood there waiting I guess she can't multitask the pub is very dirty it's really gone down hill definitely won't be returning

Fantastic two night stay at the Royal Oak. Top quality friendly service, very tasty food and a comfortable room. Perfect.

Family favourite - when we visit the area the Royal Oak is always on the list of places to include, usually Tuesday night when it’s 2for1 on parmos! And the parmos are spectacular! The pub has such a cosy, welcoming feel and there is a dog friendly area for dining. The standard is food is 5* and we will keep coming back in the future.

Came here for dinner on a work trip by myself, the service was amazing and they were very attentive, food was very tasty (I'd definitely recommend the chicken parmo!) and hardly any wait - probably 20 minutes maximum. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Another brilliant meal at The Oak. Staff and customers alike are lovely people.

Take away Sunday lunch - brilliant

Lovely spacious pub and dog friendly restaurant. Lovely food

Had a fantastic parmo. Great food. Fantastic quality and value. Friendly no hassle service.

Staff very friendly very nice place to go

Another visit and more of that, out of this world parmo action they serve. Possibly the best parmo in the whole northeast with proper chips to suit.

Great venue lovely food and excellent service.. always!

Well located pub with a couple of decent beers on cask. Very much set up for food, which is fairly obvious is it's main trade with the hotel rooms.

The food was superb. As nice as the duck was, the carrots were even better. Really.

Other than the barman being a bit rude because we came in the wrong door, as we weren't eating, the pub and beer are really nice. We actually ate at the sister pub down the road and the food there was excellent.

Booked for two people and two small dogs. Food was excellent. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars was the music. It was a random mix of annoying music rather than music more befitting for a country pub. Sorry guys, it’s just my personal taste.

We used the private room At the Royal Oak for a presentation night. This room is great for private meals, training room, board meetings etc. The food at the Oak is outstanding and the service is first class.

Absoloutly fantastic food and service

Good food as usual, nice new menu too

So disappointed today its a while since i have been to the Royal Oak I ordered my favourite lasagne and all i got was a dish of cheese couple of pieces of meat and that was it really won't be revisiting .

Called in for a mid week meal, service excellent (couldn’t ask for any more). Lovely food! Great pub!

Went with a dog and was told dog area was full. Sat in the garden (after checking we could) and when we went to order was told by staff 'we are not doing food outside' we did get our food, which was nice.

Value for money good atmosphere

Nice place for a drink after a great walk

Popped in for breakfast.4hr later I am still full..well cooked food.toast was not supermarkets own..it was tasty and you got 2 slices each with butter..1 sausage. 2bacon.2eggs.half a tomatoes cooked.beans.mushroom and black pudding..and a lovely pot of tea.

Pamo Tuesday! A great deal and a good offer. Place was busy, but luckily we got a table for two without booking. Staff were great as usual. Friendly, and efficient. Sadly my Hot Shot Parmo was not up to it's usual standard. For £2.50 extra (extortionate) my pepperoni was just chucked on top (Normally under the cheese), there were a couple of random chilli's on there as well, but NO SIGN of any Japapeno . Was big though. Most disappointed, but I'm sure it was just on off day for a busy kitchen.

Very clean, cheerful helpful staff, dog friendly, good quality food.

We booked this restaurant for lunch whilst in the area, what a good choice. Friendly staff, cold beers, good food and plenty of choice.

We had Sunday lunch here. The service was quick and the food was delicious.

A lovely pint of Guinness perfectly poured.

We came on Friday afternoon for some lunch. THE BEST PARMO I'VE HAD IN YEARS.

Lovely pub, good service, and the food was the best I've had in a while. Will certainly be back.

I stayed the night at the Royal Oak and the staff were super friendly, the room was comfortable, the dinner was more than satisfactory and breakfast (full English) very substantial. I thoroughly recommend this pub to dine or stay. Lovely

Excellent pub. Great food and real ales. Very handy to call after a walk up Roseberry Topping from Great Ayton.

My first parmo and loved it !!!

Very disapointing experience!. After a lovely weekend in York I wanted to treat my grandparents to a Sunday dinner in a traditional pub. On first impressions don’t get me wrong the atmosphere was nice and the decor was lovely. When seated however we where squeezed onto a small table despite it not being too busy. When ordering we found many of the options we fancied where unavailable despite only being 6pm. We all decided to have a beef dinner. When it arrived I noticed that I was missing a Yorkshire pudding compared to everyone else. I assumed it had accidentally been missed or knocked off however when I asked the waiter he told me that they had ran out of Yorkshire puddings !. When digging in to our dinner we all noticed that the dinner was cold, the beef was so tough you couldn’t cut it and the carrots had not been cooked. Don’t get me wrong the waiter was lovely and to be honest I felt sorry for him as it was only himself and another man running the pub who where both ran off their feet. When notifying him of our disappointment he did offer us a discount and was very apologetic. I understand businesses can be understaffed however this was a very disappointing way to end our lovely weekend in York.

Really nice food. Good service also

Book before you go. Trad pub fare and good ales. Friendly atmosphere small outdoor courtyard. Half parmo is enough for most people full parmo is a feast.

Room and bed comfortable. All staff very friendly Breakfast lovely.

Thank you to the staff at the Royal Oak in Great Ayton, especially Jess and Anthony, you looked after us supremely. We were made to feel so welcome, especially after a long walk in the hills, nothing was too much trouble, the food was tasty too. A family run business who clearly cares about their customers

Very nice pub with a good food selection, the chicken parmo was excellent 👌

From Paul Wood from Redcar. The food especially the Chicken Parmo was excellent. The drinks and service was absolutely brilliant,as were the staff. I have no complaints at all. I will definitely recommend this pub to family and friends. Keep up the good work. Pub was nice and clean too.

Superb fresh food and quality service

Cosy pub. Will visit again for BOGOF breakfast

Great for Sunday lunch, large slices of beef homemade Yorkshire pudding, lots of veg choice, definitely recommend but book as it was very busy. Great welcome and helpful friendly staff.

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst walking the Cleveland Way. The staff were great - friendly, helpful, the room was comfortable with the full Yorkshire breakfast being lovely. We ate one of the evenings and the food was delicious. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Food was delicious and the staff are lovely.x

We have been here a few times we moved up here last year and this was one of the first places we came to the food is good and the staff are so friendly and helpful

Great pub with rooms. Lovely food and beers, friendly staff.

Not the nicest of welcomes I've had walking into a pub. Asked to see the food menu and virtually thrown at us whilst we sat for drinks. Asked if we were OK to have just drinks, she told us to go next door and find a bar stool. I'm not sure I'd return to give you my money!!

Sunday roast beef was absolutely lovely so tender just fell apart in my mouth and plenty beef so worth it

Called in here after a lovely walk for a drink and something to eat . Staff very friendly and the food was very nice. Also dog friendly which was good as we had ours with us .

Good food and service as always.

A lovely pub in a beautiful location Very pleasant and helpful staff Nice clean room and a great breakfast

My family and I, were here tonight for a meal everything was ,very high standard lovely food great service ,couldn't fault it . I would definitely recommend it

We had two work functions here. Food and drinks spot on, including hot drinks ready on arrival. Much appreciated. The events ran very smoothly, thanks to the excellent organisation and attentiveness of the staff. The private room is ideal for an extended work meeting. Thanks so much to the team. We will return and would recommend to others.

Fantastic full English breakfast

Food and service was excellent. Highly recommended!

Really friendly staff and great food. We need to come back and try all their Parmo options. The rooms were nicely decorated with comfortable beds. We couldn't hear any noise and had a good night's sleep.

Upon fishing a lovely walk around Roseberry Topping, me and my 3 sisters were on the hunt for a good meal to refuel before driving the hour journey back home. A quick Google search lead us a few minutes down the road to this little gem of a place. First impressions were that it was a very welcoming cosy and friendly place very traditional, the staff were amazing, very accommodating and thankfully didn't mind we were a wee bit muddy from the walk 🙏 hot drinks brought straight out to us. We weren't waiting very long before our breakfasts were brought out , and they were delicious very good quality ingredients and you could tell everything was cooked fresh and was full of flavour, I must give a big shout out to the black pudding it was the best I've had ( tasted and looked home made) we were all very impressed and cleaned our plates leaving feeling very full and satisfied, if I was in the area again I would 100% be eating here again.

Have been here for both Sunday dinner and for Parmos and left extremely satisfied each time! Food was very tasty and plentiful. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Service was quick. We'll be back time and time again!

Booked for 4pm. Arrived around 3.30pm, seated straight away by a friendly and welcoming waiter. We were able to order straight away and drinks arrived promptly, shortly followed by our Sunday lunch. Our pooch was catered for also with his own meal served with ours (£4.50 for doggy meal). Atmosphere lovely as always, food delicious 😋 pork crackling especially so. I had the trio of meats, my mam went for beef dinner and with a bottle of red and a coffee thrown in the whole bill came to £62.30 (I believe). Which I'd say is value for money given the quality of service the food and general ambience.

Had a couple of pub lunches that were very good. Nice friendly staff, dog friendly too.

Been outside never been in so can't comment.

Service is spot on . Dog friendly. Food was delicious 😋

Great country pub. Dog friendly. Very good pint of O.P. if a little pricey.

Fantastic traditional pub in Great Ayton. Food is delicious, drinks are great and staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Great pub, with good food and comfortable rooms. Very close to the Cleveland way.

Went for lunch, nice choice, food and service top notch 👌

Excellent food and good atmosphere

Traditional Yorkshire pub in the center of a lovely village. Beautiful room furnished in a modern country style and immaculate newly refurbished shower room. Delicious food! We had dinner and breakfast and the ingredients were all quality and cooked to perfection. The sausage, bacon and black pudding come from the butcher next door and the eggs are really fresh. For starters we had the ham hock terrine with piccalilli and thd seafood cocktail, very generous portions. Lots of smoked salmon, crayfish tails and smoked macrel on the seafood cocktail. Can recommend the lasagne, the parmos and the chips are proper chips, yummy. We tried a bailies creme brulee and a lemon and Berry delicious, both scrumptious. The bar has a great selection of beers, lagers, gins & wines and gas a real fire. The staff are all really friendly and attentive. Love this pub and can't wait to return.

Group lunch made smaller by snow, no problem.

Very cosy. Great attentive staff... nice chips 😁. Lovely location beside the river.

lovely food at reasonable prices

Came in on a cold November afternoon about 3pm and had a warm welcome, two lovely courses of food and drinks. Would definitely return

Very freindly staff, nice customers and lovely food
