We heard about the Royal Oak and decided to give it a try. We received a really warm welcome from the staff. The drinks are a very reasonable price too. The menu offered a large selection of dishes. We opted for the three course small plate home made steak and ale pie. The pate starter was very tasty. Even offered gluten free bread which was delicious. Ice cream finished the meal. A very reasonably priced meal but the important thing was that the food was delicious and we really enjoyed it. Will try the whitebait starter next time. Can’t wait.

A lovely clean open local pub with lovely staff. As someone with gluten and dairy intolerance there was a few options. Food and drinks came quick and tasted absolutely delicious. It was the other half's birthday and we had just spent the day at the zoo and I'd mentioned it was his birthday the lady whom served us wished him happy birthday and secretly went above and beyond and brought his dessert out with a candle playing happy birthday lol. He absolutely loved it and it made him laugh, we would 100percent recommend and would come back. Thank you

I don't usually leave reviews but the Gluten free beer battered fish and chips was one of the best I have ever had. Jo, our server was absolutely lovely and so helpful. The whole pub has a lovely welcoming atmosphere 90% of the menu accommodates Coeliacs, and it is so refreshing to visit a pub and be able to pick from almost the whole menu. All of our meals were absolutely delicious, I couldn't recommend it more!

I don’t normally write reviews but thought I would as when we read the review about unfriendly people it nearly put us off as we had our 3 year old twins with us and were dressed for countryside walking. Actually the opposite was the case and staff and customers were really friendly, one even helping one of my twins to dry her hands. The food was also very good value and my glass of Shiraz was yummy. We were also pleasantly surprised by the inside decor and bouncy castle in the garden.

We visited on a Friday early evening and were made really welcome by Jo. The choice of food and special daily offers were great. The food did not disappoint and was tasty, plentiful and served with a smile. Added to this as a real ale drinker the choice of cask ales was great. We had main meals and desserts in the restaurant area and would happily recommend this establishment to all.

Sunday lunch with large group. We pre-ordered our meal. The greenery on my starter was not only brown round the edges, some was black and slimy. My friend did not enjoy her main meal at all and we all found the vegetables inedible. They were beyond al dente, hardly cooked at all. The service was slow.

Awful attitude from the staff. They really could NOT be bothered to serve us. Had to ask for everything from the menu, to the dessert menu, to the bill etc and each request was greeted with an almost audible sigh. I’ve been in on a Friday before and a fabulous, friendly waitress served us. Sooo different today. The miserable lady ‘ in charge’ today was accompanied by two equally unenthusiastic teenagers, presumably there to work but you wouldn’t know it! That said, the food was good and reasonably priced.

I have to say from the time we entered the premises to the time we left.. staff was very friendly and welcoming.. the cost of the food was so cheap so I was shocked when we received the food which was a 5 star meal.. one of the best roasts I’ve ever had and there was Plenty of it .. the pork was so tasty ..

We went for an early evening meal at The Royal Oak Blean yesterday as a family group, and were very impressed by the food, staff and venue. The restaurant operates up to 8pm each day with a set menu, a small plate menu, and daily specials on offer. Their website shows everything on offer for the day you visit. The range of food and drinks at The Royal Oak is quite comprehensive, and it would be unlikely not to find something you like. As you might imagine, children’s options, and vegetarian options are available on the menus. We found the food quality and portion size to be very good. The pub itself has been refurbished fairly recently, and provides a relaxed atmosphere in nice surroundings. The pub garden is currently undergoing major redesign, and should be open in time for the better weather. We found the staff to be friendly, helpful, and professional. Service was prompt, and we were made to feel very welcome. I would thoroughly recommend The Royal Oak (at Blean) for anyone wishing to have a meal or just drinks at the well stocked bar area which has leather sofas to relax on, as well a separate restaurant area, and games room. We will certainly be returning in the future.

Mesa reservada. Anteriormente tenía pierna de cordero, excelente. Ahora se ofrece lomo de cordero, mostaza, puré y guisantes. No tan bueno como el anterior. Le dije a la camarera y le pregunté si el chef se había ido, ya que estaba bajo una nueva administración. Le dije al chef que todavía estaba allí. Esto fue una crítica, no una queja. . Mi amigo pidió agua, que nunca llegó y desde entonces estábamos totalmente en blanco. No se ofrece menú de postres ni café. Lady en la mesa de al lado se acercó y pidió nuestra opinión, y estuvo de acuerdo. Otro hombre que tenía el cordero como nosotros dijo que no era tan bueno como antes. Nos sentamos allí, siendo ignorados por 30 minutos, luego mi amigo pagó y nos fuimos. Nunca me han tratado así antes y nunca volveré allí.

Here for a late lunch just before Xmas. Place had been busy with Xmas lunches but was emptying. Service was polite enough, but very slow. The food was mixed; other half had the ploughman's lunch which was fine, I had the pork loin which was awful. Not sure how you make pork loin rubbery - too long in the microwave? The roast potatoes were like cannonballs - rock hard outside and dry inside.Been here a couple of times before and it was Ok, after this visit not going back.

We only went here as we were staying near by. The barmaid/waitress was really friendly but scatty to say the least. She forgot to give us menus, then forgot the wine cooler (we had to remind her), we also heard her forget other diners menus etc. She was rushing around for no apparent reason as it wasn't that busy, she even complained that her little legs were killing her as she was nearing the end of a 12 hour shift.

Fui con la nieta adolescente para la cena. Los tres de nosotros pedimos la hamburguesa gourmet. Después de un período de aproximadamente una hora, el lugar no estaba ocupado, la llamada hamburguesa gourmet llegó con una enorme pila de papas fritas y una pequeña porción de ensalada de col. El bollo de la hamburguesa no se había calentado; había dos rodajas finas de tomate, un trozo de lechuga servido con la que era probablemente la peor hamburguesa que he comido, insípida, dura y sin sabor. La mía vino con un pequeño trozo de Stilton medio derretido (1) extra, que se sentó en la hamburguesa que cubre entre un cuarto a un quinto. La ensalada de col era impresionante y sabía como marcas de economía de la tienda. Hemos comido dos veces antes en este pub, una vez al principio bien, la segunda vez simplemente bien, pero esta vez fue realmente muy pobre. Bill llegó a más de 50 con una bebida cada uno y fue una pérdida total de dinero. No va a volver

We called here for lunch on a walk through Blean woods, we had not booked and arrived around 12:45. We were told they were very busy as they had a large group in and there would be a wait for food. We were happy to relax and have a drink while we waited, We only wanted sandwiches and the long delay turned out to be 15 - 20 mins, we have waited longer than this in nearly empty pubs. The sandwiches were very good with a choice of bread and were well presented with a side salad. The two women who were running the front of house were very efficient, friendly and attentive they asked us a couple of times if we were ok and if we needed anything. There were a few friendly locals around the bar and the whole atmosphere was welcoming. The food and drink prices were both reasonable and we'd recommend the pub to anyone passing through the area

Firstly let me start by saying that I am a high contributor on TA and rarely write a truly scathing review, and consider myself fair. However the best advice that I can give on this place is ....never EVER go to The Royal Oak in Blean...unless of course you enjoy appalling service and food only suitable for serving up on a motorway lay-by.

Good choice of food and beers. Family friendly. Food service a little on the slow side, but wait/bar staff attentive. Very happy with the experience.

Stopped for lunch on way to dover for ferry. Nice country pub with a restaurant attached. Unfortunately had run out of fish and chips so had the lamb shank and mustard mash and the wife had hand carved ham egg and chips. Both meals were quite good but no better than wetherspoons at twice the price. Nice selection of beers. the evening menu is more extensive. I would certainly go again but would go for dinner.

Although the restaurant was busy, it was Sunday lunch time, the service was good, they were particularly helpful with making sure the children had what they wanted,and were very patient with them. The food was good and very tasty although the choice of vegetables was a little limited. Desserts were lovely.

We visited here on a Sunday afternoon for dinner. We had booked a table as we was staying nearby and had timed it around our check-in. We was sat having drinks with my parents who had dropped us off and a staff member informed us that we could order our food and they could call us to the table when it was ready so we could finish the drinks and not have to rush off which was really nice. We both had the prawn cocktail to start and roast pork for main, both of which was really tasty and both portions where generous. The bar and waitress staff where all very friendly, making conversation and taking interest in our plans for the evening. On departure who seemed to be the owner asked if we had enjoyed our meal which was nice also to be acknowledged. Would definitely return and recommend.

Although the service, surroundings and the quality of the meat (beef) were all excellent unfortunately our Sunday roast was let down by poorly cooked vegetables and weak, watery gravy. Swede was waterlogged, carrots a bit too al dente for our tastes, roast potatoes quite hard and “under roasted”. In addition the Yorkshire puds were too well done and scorched in parts. Such a shame as we understand that the food available during the week and on Saturdays is excellent and other reviews led us to expect the same on Sunday. Hopefully this was just a blip as it seems that the majority of customers have been more than satisfied with their meals.

Called in on the off chance of getting a table for Sunday lunch they were full but we were given a warm welcome by Jo and she found us a table. Food was delicious and the staff were friendly. We were served by Jo and I must say she is an asset. Will definitely eat there again.

Dont expect a hot drink after 18:00. Cafe may be open until 20:00 but they stop serving at 18:00.
