The Royal Oak in Hambleton

We stopped by for some dinner. I had a burger and my partner had mince beef and onion pie with chips. Both very well cooked, no long waits and friendly staff.

Popped in for a dribk after a walk from Gribdale. Prompt service and nice atmosphere.

First time visiting this pub today. Myself, my sister and family had been to trek up Roseberry Topping, which was to celebrate and concrete my sisters end of cancer treatment and getting back to feeling better again. The staff in this pub were absolutely wonderful, they were so friendly, warm, kind and caring. The food just put the icing on the cake, the parmo was one of the nicest I've had before ☺️ The perfect end to a very wonderful and memorable day. Thank you again to the staff working this afternoon. I'm sure you know who you are ☺️ absolutely beautiful people!

We booked online for a Dog Friendly table and it was very simple. This is the first time we have visited here in over 20 years. The service was excellent and the food was very good. Good selectikn on the Menu. The dog menu is funny and the doggy bowl of sausages was vast. All in all excellent. We will be back...

Booked table online, staff were very welcoming on entry and was sat away from main restaurant area as my dog was with me, following this I felt forgotten and rarely saw anyone to take order or any other requests, apart from this the food was exceptional and a very nice establishment...I would definitely return in the future

Came here twice during our stay in Great Ayton, very friendly staff we had our toy poodle with us and she was made a fuss off. reasonably priced drinks will come here again

I highly recommend the wonderful Royal Oak in beautiful Great Ayton. It's a lovely local family run establishment, with Simon & Katy Fletch at the helm. Not only is the food excellent & the staff attentive, they can arrange an amazing party too! With a private function room upstairs or for larger gatherings, Simon will give you use of the main restaurant instead - if you have a larger group of people. As it was my 50th Birthday, I wanted a gathering of family & friends with one main requirement - a retro buffet! Simon & his team excelled themselves. The vol-au-vents, renouned Petches pies, quiches, sandwiches, sausages rolls & chips were gorgeous. Food was automatically topped up when required. Anthony & Angela ensured everything ran seamlessly. Plus they will cater for any special dietary needs. If you are planning a party, gathering or event I would contact The Royal Oak and chat your plans through with them - they offer great value food packages which you can tailor to suit your palate & purse strings. A personal Thank You from me to all the Staff involved in my party (including the behind the scenes chef's!)

Picturesque village. Nice clean, comfortable pub. Pie and cajun chicken board delicious. Friendly staff. Perfect after a long walk! Definitely recommend 👌

Had the worst steak pie ever. The bottom pastry was uncooked and the chips were raw. Other meals within our group were ok.

We were delighted with our overnight stay at the Royal Oak. Arrived about 4:30 to be greeted cheerily and efficiently. Shown to a lovely smart comfy room which was nice and light and airy. Dinner was great...food fabulous. We then got fresh milk for our room too...nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast the following day was huge and great quality...so we made up a bacon sandwich (having been given foil to wrap it in). A great stay

Sunday lunch. The vegetables and beef were fine, though my 'full' meal had the same amount of beef as the small meal my mother had. Very disappointing Yorkshire pudding, only one each and tough and overdone. Had much better meal in the past but that was some years ago.

A return visit but, as ever , a great visit. We were there with an enlarged family and the staff, although facing the busiest day this year, could not have been more helpful. Room was clean and well equipped. Food was plentiful and of a high standard. The whole atmosphere of our stay was one of peace and enjoyment! Well done.

Great pub with a sun terrace perfect for a post walk drink. Saw some lovely food being served.

Fantastic Sunday dinner for Mother’s Day, probably one of the best ever. Will definitely be back, heard the parmo’s are amazing!

Just had a meal on half price Monday we couldn’t fault the meal and service . Well worth another visit

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

A lovely pub in a beautiful village. the food was delicious and the waiters and waitresses were all so friendly. My steak was perfect and the chips were lovely too. Gluten free options were on the menu. thanks so much!

Food was really nice. Staff nice. Lovely pub.

The Royal Oak in Great Ayton is a great dog friendly choice for an afternoon pint, a home made meal from the menu or maybe even stayover in one of the high end spacious rooms. A well stocked bar, and plenty of tables all around and outside in the beer garden. With quiz nights and grill nights on weekly. My room had an En suite wlth an overhead shower. The plug sockets by the bed had USB in them. The towels were lovely and soft and so was the bed. Theres a TV on the wall and tea and coffee making facillities for a morning brew.

Reserved a table for 4 today, The staff were really polite with us on arrival, the service was excellent. The food was incredible for us. We're definitely going back regularly now. Thanks to the Chef for the excellent quality cooked food.

Good selection of pub food served in the bar & restaurant. Food served hot & mid ranged pricing. Quaint, olde fashioned surroundings. Friendly staff

Had a meal and a few beers in the bar/ restaurant. Friendly service and a great pint of Guinness at the bar. I would recommend the fish and chips here. One of the best I've had. Parking available but a slight slope and steps down into the bar from where we parked. No problem for anyone other than people with disabilities. Maybe come in from the front.

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

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.

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 !

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.

Fabulous warm atmospheric pub in the heart of Great Ayton

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.

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.

Good food as usual, nice new menu too

Absoloutly fantastic food and service

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 .

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.

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

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.

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.

Really nice food. Good service also

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

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

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

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
