The Royal Oak in City of London, Westminster

A great neighbourhood pub with really good food and friendly staff.

Great Sunday lunch today for our family - lovely roast dinners - good portion size and good selection of meats + veg - food came out quick

Perfect place to meet friends and enjoy a pint during the day

The food, beer and service are excellent but it is very noisy on a Friday night.

More of a restaurant than a pub, but good for what it is.

We hosted a late xmas party in the New Year and hired the private room upstairs, and it was perfect! Super easy to communicate and organise with the management team, the food was amazing, and the room was very cute and perfect for our group. 100% recommend for hosting an intimate event!

Great pub, lovely food, recommended!

Stopped with a friend for a quick bite to eat and a pint. We both had the roast beef ciabatta and it was excellent.

Smart modern pub, great range of beers - Hepcat, Sussex Best, on tap. Fish finger sandwich was excellent, perhaps order fries on the side to make it more substantial, but really tasty. Service spot on... Even has super easy WiFi! Will be back!

Amazing London pub, the food is simple yet effective. I opted for the Burger, really nicely done and great selection of beers on choice. Will visit again.

Reservamos el Royal Oak para el almuerzo antes de ir a un partido de rugby, desde el momento en que entramos en el pub nos encantó el ambiente y el personal. Nos dieron la bienvenida y muy rápidamente nos dimos cuenta de que un lugar fabuloso en el que estábamos. La comida era genial y el servicio impecable! Lo disfrutamos tanto que volvimos después del partido y tuvimos una gran noche con la música en vivo. Gracias por hacer nuestro fin de semana tan agradable xx

Amazing food, I had the ham hock (comes with chips and a gravy too). However, I found it really hard to hear my friend talking to me across the table. The sounds just seem to bounce around the room which amplifies the noise. Good atmosphere in general though

El Royal Oak, un pub comunitario muy concurrido, es atractivo para los lugareños, trabajadores de oficina, turistas y otros visitantes del vibrante barrio de Marylebone. Cuenta con un comedor interno moderno y limpio, y una serie de bancos exteriores para comida y bebidas al aire libre. Se ofrece una amplia variedad de cervezas artesanales de barril y embotelladas, así como una buena selección de cócteles, vinos y otras bebidas. La comida es de calidad razonable comida de pub, sabroso y servido en porciones generosas. El servicio es acogedor y rápido.

Good roast with evening availability. Roast chicken enormous

Was really looking forward to an Anniversary meal here. When we arrived the bar was absolutely mobbed with very loud posh blokes shouting at each other right next to our table. But hey, you have to deal with that living near here. Most disappointing, however, was the food, which I had sadly heard really good things about. Every dish just smelt and tasted of beef fat. That's good if you like beef fat, which i do... But for everything to taste of it!? The chicken? The scotch egg? Even the mussels in cider and creme fraiche? I mean that's quite an achievement. Beefy cream! The blue cheese and pecan salad was the best thing we ate. Oh and the chips were okay because they were the thing I suppose that should taste of beef fat? And so as we left into the cold winter night, thinking where else to go next time, the smell of beef fat wafted from the kitchen above and followed us up the street.

I hosted a (very last-minute) wedding reception here last week and could not have asked for better service, food and drink! The venue itself is beautiful - it is intimate, yet there is enough space to have a good mingle and even a dance! The set-up is seamless and the team made every effort to accommodate our needs, including letting us put up some decorations beforehand. The cocktails and food are absolutely delicious. We had the three course set-menu and all our guests were so impressed by the quality of the food! They made every effort to accommodate dietary requirements too. Above all, the staff here are so professional, warm and attentive to all our needs for the entire day (and it was a long one!). I could not fault anything about this venue and just wish I could it all over again there! Highly highly recommend!

Tom and his team at the Royal Oak made a very special event even better than we thought possible. With not much time to organise, the team at the Royal Oak helped with all the plans, down to seating plans, the layout of the pub and the ambiance. The food was really delicious, the timing of the food being served was slightly changed on the day due to unforeseen events and the kitchen and staff, again, were unflappable, calm and kind. The atmosphere was so comfortable it was almost like hosting a very special event at home but on a bigger scale and without the cooking or washing up! Truly a brilliant pub, staff were so kind, food was 5* and the place felt like home. Thank you so much.

Took friends for a first time pub atmosphere in London. This place was beyond expectation for atmosphere and service. We were served by Tom who so polite and went out of the way to offer me a great vegan lunch. There seemed to be no problem changing options and even came back with chef recommendation. It was value for money and great lunch time vibes with local residents and office workers.

Good vibes with top notch food and drinks. Cheers to a good weekend with your folks at this den!

Last May, we got married at the Marylebone Town Hall and had the pleasure of having our reception at The Royal Oak. The team are incredibly attentive and accommodating both the months before and throughout the day. Making our guests and us feel completely at ease. The food was incredible, (guests still talk about it!) and the level of care they went to to accommodate dietary requirements and allergies was brilliant. We really can't thank them enough for making our day so special and relaxed. Thank you :-)

Very nice pub stumbled upon whilst walking in the neighborhood. 4.5 stars Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Atmosphere: one of nicest pubs I've been to. Clean, open feel to it. - Service: waitress was cheery and timed out starters and mains for a friend coming to meet us - Scotch eggs: could tell was made in house.

Unique and tasty. 4 stars - Cider: one of the better ones I had with a nice balance of crispness and only a hint of sweetness. - Dog friendly: my friend's dog wasn't sunny allowed in but welcomed with water and biscuits Midlights: - Sandwich didn't come with chips and they looked so good regretted not ordering them.

We booked the private room upstairs À hectic Sunday lunch for 20 people All handled really well Food pretty good Staff attentive as 1 person stayed in the room and toooed up water and wine as we needed it. Great location

We recently enjoyed a Sunday Roast at the Royal Oak and it was absolutely delightful! We started with Smokey Bloody Mary's which were very tasty. We ordered the Pork and Chorizo Scotch egg after reading reviews and were not disappointed. We then went on to a Garden Salad with Pear, pecans and blue cheese. Very tasty. We both ordered the Roast Rump of Hereford beef with horseradish. It was accompanied with Yorkshire pudding, roasted parsnips, carrots, cabbage and potatoes and plenty of beef gravy. Wonderful! Everything was cooked to perfection! We ended with the Apple, Pear and Cranberry Crumble with Vanilla ice cream. Delicious!! Friendly, great service and amazing food!! Highly recommend!!

Nice pub, with good food. Can be a little loud, but most pubs can be, especially in the centre

Nice atmosphere, youthful, the boys and girls who served were nice and kind. Good offer of beers and wines, excellent cuisine with more typical dishes! Also sweet top. Price quality normal

Had a going away dinner here for a colleague leaving for a new opportunity. Food was fantastic and the service was good. We had a fantastic waitress taking care of us. The only complaint I have is the atmosphere and how loud it was while we were there. It was difficult to talk at times from all the ambient noise of everyone in the pub. If you don’t mind the noise more power to you.

Only stepped inside for a quick drink while I was passing through, didn’t experience the food. Small but nice pub. Standing room and a few tables outside. A vodka and coke was £13 approx. Downed it and left. I was only there 5 minutes.

Was in town for an NFL game this past Sunday. The Royal Oak is Walking distance from Marlyebone Station, and my hotel. Decided to have dinner here because I didn’t go to a traditional British pub my last two visits to London, and this place exceeded my expectations. Great selection of contemporary beers like NEIPAs and traditional English Bitters. First time having a scotch egg and it was delicious and the burger can compete with your favorite gastropub back in the states. Service was excellent, was seated immediately and the rotating servers were attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Highly recommend for anyone foreigners looking for a great pub experience

Good pub food and very good beer selection

Proper pub with beer and lovely food. Great service, very accommodating and friendly, but not too much. Lovely mackerel rillette with perfect rye bread. Beef burger was small patty but lovely taste and salad with burger was lovely and fresh. Hope to go back soon

Después de nuestra ceremonia de boda en el Ayuntamiento de Marylebone todos caminamos la corta distancia hasta el Royal Oak y tuvimos nuestra recepción arriba. Solo un poco apretado para el espacio, 30 personas, pero funcionó, era una tarde soleada y una noche seductora con todas las ventanas abiertas. El personal era genial y nos permitió acceder a la habitación la noche anterior. Fue una pena que nos pidieran que termináramos la velada alrededor de las 10: 30 ish, habría sido bueno quedarse hasta la medianoche.

Tuvimos la comida aquí después de nuestra boda, y alquilamos el espacio arriba para 20 invitados. El servicio fue excepcional, desde hacer la consulta inicial hasta la noche misma. Todo el mundo estaba muy contento con la comida, las opciones de bebidas eran geniales, y el espacio en sí era perfecto para ese número de invitados y ser un lienzo en blanco para que configuremos como queríamos. Sin duda lo recomendaría para eventos similares.

A beautiful little pub with lovely servers and an amazing atmosphere and vibe. We found the pub accidentally while strolling through the neighborhood on our vacation and had a fun night! If we come back to London we’ll definitely visit this pub again.

This place was great, the service was amazing, I'm sorry but the beef was too rare and the roast potatoes too hard, we ate most because we were hungry, but a beautiful place, with awesome drinks 👍 Timothy Taylors Landlord epic 😀

What a fantastic pub. Great, well kept draught beer, a good selection of bottles of Belgian & German beer. And great food. The black pudding scotch egg is fantastic. Ticks all the boxes.

Be careful when ordering wine as the Royal Oak always choose the most expensive and never say until the bill arrives.

I chose this place because I was starving and it was near the hotel, but also the most crowded looking, classic London place in the area. Lots of locals outside and inside was bustling, all smiling and happy! They greeted me right away and I sat by the window in a bar type seat. Very nice. Great menu. Great beer and huge selection! So glad I went here.

Great pub for good food and beers! Recommend the steak and Harveys!

Popped in for lunch with my daughter, what a great place. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere and the food is excellent.

Staff was super nice and the food was EXCELLENT We are Italian so we do have high standards 😌 It definitely exceeded our expectations! 100% recommend

Great guys, great food, great beers! Best place in town!

Great food and outstanding service. A bustling and open atmosphere, this is a great little pub with heaps of great beers, ciders and wines

El Royal Oak es un pub clásico situado muy cerca de nuestro hotel en Marylebone. Disfrutamos de nuestra cena temprana aquí, pero sobre todo, disfrutamos del ambiente estridente. El lugar se llenó de aficionados al fútbol, que acababan de regresar de un gran partido en Wembley. El lugar se llenó por completo y nos lo pasamos muy bien. La cerveza estaba fría, la comida era estándar, pero sabrosa comida del pub, y el ambiente era muy animado.

A good chain pub. However at 7pm the kitchen was closed. Obviously, it was a business decision but forced us to go elsewhere. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Went for drinks - they make good negronis and old fashioneds. Servers were friendly and the place had a relaxed vibe.

Service amazing, great food and some lovely real ale to wash it down with. Definitely would recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday roast, all the of them

Great independent pub, not too full and good selection.

Lovely menu lots of space and helpful staff

I was invited to a friend's birthday, she wanted to try the Sunday roast. For me it was a good place for a drink, but to eat, perhaps try something else apart from the beef I had, food was served cold, hardly to return.

Me dieron un regalo City Stack, que te da £ 10 de descuento en tu factura si gastas más de £ 20 en pubs independientes seleccionados. Compartimos una ciabatta de carne asada por 12 libras. 50 . Había una generosa cantidad de carne asada rara, cohete y virutas de parmesano en el sándwich y venía con algunas de las mejores papas fritas que he probado. Compartimos una jarra de Montepulciano de 375 ml por 14€. 30 , que era un vino de muy buena calidad. Servicio encantador, decoración y ambiente. Un almuerzo perfecto.

A gorgeous pub. Lovely decor and ambience. My daughter and I shared a rare roast beef ciabatta sandwich, which was crammed with tender beef, rocket and cheese. It came with some of the best chips I have had in a long time. Really great quality produce and excellent value at £12.50. It was more than enough to share. We also had a 375ml carafe of very delicious Montepulciano for £14.30. I used my City Stack discount, which took a tenner off the bill, so even better! Lovely service too.

Lovely pub with highly nice and attentionate staff! Service very quick of delicious food! After burger and fish&chips, Eaton mess just finished to delight us! With a couple of pints, the perfect place for a nice drink, dinner or just moment!

Fantastic service from start to finish. Order the truffle and Parmesan chips, you won’t regret it!

Lovely pub. Nice people Excellent fish n chips Very good wine list

Great service. Great food. Great beer. What’s not to like.🙂

Lovely back street pub. Which is lucky for us Bromley FC supporters. We'll worth a visit.

Great pub with a great selection of drinks, great staff and wonderful atmosphere. I would almost say it could be an insider tip

Great food, good portions. Broccoli tempura was fabulous. Foccacia with hummous was delicious. Pleasingly sedate: no big TV or fruit machines.

An (almost) perfect place! Hospitality and availability, kindness made us feel very good. Environment is fantastic. Also everything we ordered. The only thing I highly recommend is putting the salad sauce with the tomatoes aside, because it is very strong and not everyone can like it so you can put it to taste, only for this reason 4 stars because that dish was ordered by the children and they didn't like it just because of the sauce. For the rest I would give 10 stars👏 Wonderful fish and chips, eggs, beer, wow chips, the best, dessert too!

Excellent food, friendly and welcoming staff. A lot of attention towards the customer. Possibility to book a table online.

Our family of four arrived without a booking for dinner, and the staff kindly sat us at a reserved table as long as we could finish before the reservation time (about an hour later). The staff here was very attentive and thoughtful throughout the meal. While there was no kids-specific menu, they offered to re-size the portions and add kid-friendly sides to the adult entrees we ordered for the little ones. The salmon ceviche was delightful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the extensive beer on offer.

Great food and service! One of our favourite pubs in the area.

Amazing food, great location, great ambiance BUT the guy in the stripped T shirt & specs is so miserable, you need to get rid or at least have a word and get him to smile & say a few nice words to HIS/YOUR customers. 🤦‍♀️

Fantastic staff, great atmosphere and good beer selection

Good fish, traditional pub - enjoyed!

We had our wedding dinner here yesterday 17:04:2024- The whole dinner was absolutely amazing and everything we wanted and more. The food was incredible and every single person agreed. The staff throughout the whole booking was so accommodating and nothing was too much to ask and we were able to have our celebration exactly how we pictured. The lady and gentleman who looked after us with all the drinks and food service was amazing, right down to knowing exactly what everyone wanted and they also knew where each person was sat on what they had individually ordered so they didn’t even had to ask which was such a lovely touch as it showed a great attention to detail. The whole experience was above what we expected and they would be our number one recommendation to anyone who would be doing the similar thing or any kind of event, especially considering the price which was unbelievably reasonable. We couldn’t be more thankful to the whole team who made our day that bit extra special.

We had a great burger and sausage roll. Fantastic service and great music at just the right volume lol

Just popped in for quick pint when it wasn't very busy. Really clean throughout and lovely toilets. Was just struck by the fact that 4 male bar staff were all well presented but the only female bar lady was scantily dressed in what looked like just a bra and trousers. I'm no prude but it was quite striking the stereotypical picture that was portrayed in what was a classy and tasteful public house.

Great little pub in the Marylebone neighborhood with what feels like a local crowd and good food. We were staying at The Landmark Hotel just up the road, and this was a great place to walk to when we wanted to get away from the hotel but get something quick after a long day.

Food was poor, burnt fish and the chips didn't have the crispiness I like from a pub chip. Service good thoguh and atmosphere decent.

We went there for a Sunday roast and we were really impressed with the nice atmosphere and the amazing food. The staff is very friendly and the Italian chef definitely knows what he’s doing! Super recommended!

BEST FOOD EVER I rarely post reviews but this time I had to. My friend and I had such a nice time..The staff were very friendly and welcoming We had a fabulous lunch here on a rainy afternoon, The quality of food was excellent. 100% recommended.

We are writing to express our sincere gratitude for the fantastic experience we had at your venue on the day of our Civil Partnership ceremony. From the very beginning, your team went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The booking process was incredibly easy and we had all of the information that we needed beforehand - regarding arrival, food and drink. We especially appreciate your understanding when some of our guests arrived early due to the rain. Allowing them to come in before the official opening time and offering them coffee was such a kind gesture, and it helped everyone feel comfortable and welcome. The room itself (above the main bar area) looked stunning when we arrived. The recent refurbishment really complements the entire Royal Oak, and the space was perfect for our celebration. It was clean, tidy, and well-organised, with immaculate facilities. A big thank you to Adam, who was on-hand throughout the event to ensure our guests always had their drinks topped up. The food was a real highlight of the time, and our guests absolutely raved about it, especially the fish! You catered to everyone's tastes beautifully, and the quality was outstanding. Your attention to detail and dedication to making our day special did not go unnoticed. We truly appreciate the efforts of your entire team, and we would not hesitate to recommend the Royal Oak to anyone looking for a beautiful and accommodating venue for their special occasion. Thank you once again for making the beginning of our Civil Partnership ceremony so excellent.

Food is tasty but the portion sizes are small enough to leave you feeling hungry

Wonderful pub and team running it. Great with allergies! The beef roast is 👌🏼 They also have a great beer selection. Saved and will be returning again soon!

Came here for Sunday lunch and was really impressed! As not the biggest football fans we didn’t clock there was a huge football match on, so it was REALLY crowded downstairs but they put us upstairs so we’d be able to hear eachother. Waiters were fantastic! Food was really good! Will definately be coming back

Very traditional British pub with one of the best roast dinners in Marylebone. @Josh makes a perfect cosmopolitan! Thank you, Josh. The other guys are very friendly and don’t skip a beat when it comes up catering to the people no matter how busy it is. It’s nice to see how they work together. That’s what makes the place so nice to visit. The only thing is that if you’re not a fun of noise you can be a slightly bothered by the constant loud-ish chatter around, which makes a pub British. Other than that, very very enjoyable with friends. Thank you for the drinks and great food and hospitality.

They serve good food, but they are not "way gastro" and welcome people popping in for a pint.

Fantastic food and a great place

Best food and great service. Super dog friendly. Can recommend to anyone.

Great pub, good for students, families, couples and whoever.

Largeish pub with a central location on the high street.

Großartige Atmosphäre und leckere Getränke in einem typischen englischen Pub. Die Barkeeper waren sehr freundlich und boten selbst Proben von Getränken an, die man nicht kannte. Die Bar war mal leer, mal voll, aber immer sehr schön belebt. Wir fühlten uns sehr willkommen und kehren gerne nächstes mal wieder ein, wenn wir in London sind!

Schöne Bar in London. Toll um mit Leuten ins Gespräche zu kommen.

Friendly staff and in pub with good atmosphere

Always assured of good food and service here. A quality selection of wines and beers too.

I held my 40th birthday party here at their room on the first floor. I had different friends and family arriving throughout the day at various times. Beautiful setting with delicious canapés. Great drinks list (they even have Harvey's). Champagne choice is spot on. This pub has a staff that is highly organised, flexible and with an excellent sense of how to host. From setting up a coat rack in another room, adjusting the windows to the capricious ways of the winter climate, to taking orders throughout the day from guests. Service is efficient, kind and professional. The food here is excellent, especially the pork ciabatta. All staff were friendly, patient and helpful. If I was turning 40 again I'd do it here and I'll do it again here when I turn 50 if I'm not dead. Highly, highly recommended.

The best Sunday roast we've had in a while at an affordable price. I had the chicken roast which was full of flavour and juicy.

Went for an office Christmas lunch and found it all a bit average. Maybe a better experience could be had another time.

Amazing historic pub. Theakston Old Peculier on draft ... a proper Yorkshire beer, served in the correct way. Loved the place, the welcome, the ambiance.

Great atmosphere, lovely food, a pub you can spend all day in

Great food and atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Lovely little pub in Central London

Lovely old pub, great staff, great beers.

I went to a private function here and the service was impeccable by all the bar and waiting staff.

An absolute gem of pub! Amazing staff, delicious food and selection of beverages topped off with a fabulously welcoming atmosphere!

We had our wedding reception at The Royal Oak, and from the moment we chose the Royal Oak as our venue, nothing was too much trouble and each of my (many) emails was answered promptly.  The team that took care of us on the day were exceptional!  Additionally, the kitchen team (who are always 'backstage') were incredible, from the varied menu we were given, to the food served to us on the day - it was great.  All our guests raved about the food.    There really are no words to express how much we appreciated everyone's hard work in making our reception so special.

Great food and a decent selection on tap. Great service and friendly staff.
