The Royal Oak in Wychavon

Booked a 'deluxe' room for one night £90. This is what I got. Hotel ignored all requests for a refund.

Went in The Oak with friends today. We used to be regulars but moved away. We ordered at the bar then noticed a sign...CASH ONLY. Told the bar staff we don't carry cash. We were told, no cash, no service. We left. Very sad!

Good place for Saturday or Friday night with friends

We were looking for somewhere to have an evening meal whilst travelling through Evesham. Google showed me this place and I saw photos of food, looked okay. When we got there I was impressed by the obvious age and grandeur of the outside - a beautiful Tudor building. Went up to the bar and asked if they were doing food and the man said ' no sorry the kitchen is permanently closed '. So we left, disappointed! N.B, There are one hour parking spaces outside the pub.

Staying in Evesham for a few days , popped in here while walking my dog, pub rooms and staff are lovely, set out very smart Went in the beer garden which let it down badly ! It's in need of a makeover to match the beautiful inside ! And a little hut, open with fridge and freezer that definitely needs cleaning and closing off , especially with food inside !!!!! Done out lovely but the back way is awful

We visited the Royal Oak for lunch yesterday with our dog. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was to die for. My husband said their home cooked chips were the best he had ever tasted. We would definitely visit again.

Taken to our room up some very dirty looking stairs. The room has to be the tiniest 'double room' we have EVER seen! Could literally put my hand on the side of the bed and touch the wall. At BESTit was a large single. My bedside lamp was broken, took it down to inform them, and asked for a larger room, told fully booked but we could have their 'premier' room at double the price!! Went back later to get lamp, told broken and they had nothing else? We were there for 1 night never saw or heard any other guests, no doors opening or shutting, not one sound from any room so clearly lied about other guests. There was a hole in the wall, the 1 stool was very wobbly, no TV but a remote control in room, was told the 'dish' had blown down ?? Went to bed, a constant bleeping noise kept us awake virtually all night, turned out to be their alarm box which was at bottom of stairs, ridiculously loud! Would not recommend this place to stay in, especially ROOM 5. Save your money and get a travel lodge or premier inn, wish we had!

My roast chicken dinner was pinged in the microwave and roasters were Rock hard gravy like water. My girl friends scampi and chips was a let down to both frozen shame looking at the place you would expect at lease Home made chips.

Superb food but the music was way to loud and not appropriate for a pub.

Usually great but sadly not the case today. My husband’s FIRST burger was the smallest piece of meat we’ve ever seen. We don’t normally complain but we told them we weren’t happy. They ‘cooked’ him a second one. When he bit into it he knew straightaway that it wasn’t right. It was raw. I’d already eaten my meal - we had gone out to eat together! Awful. We won’t be back, despite being local

Simply delightful food. Perfect roast dinner, faultless fish and chips. Warm ambience, great hospitality.

Another fab Sunday lunch at the Oak, lovely to see it so busy today. I plan to try everything on the menu. We'll be back next week for drinks 🙂

A dinner out on the off chance as it was pouring with rain and staying at The Premier Inn in Evesham food at the nearby Beefeater brought us no joy. We ordered coffee but sadly not piping hot from those infernal machines. We were greeted with a cold cheerless bar the only customers on a Tues night. The bartender had limited English but was polite and welcoming. An interesting menu with usual pub classics and a tapas choice. I chose chicken skewers, halloumi chips and hummus with a flat bread for a good price of £12. My husband ordered fish and chips with mushy peas. The lady who served us was super efficient and concerned we had all we needed with a flagon of cold iced water. The food was piping hot and ABSOLUTELY delicious. Lovely hummus oily and nutty, flat bread crusty and warm. The halloumi fries with coated in breadcrumbs and were thick and chunky cut and the skewers tasty with onion and peppers. My husband had a good sized piece of battered cod and the crunchiest chips soft in the middle. We finished with chocolate brownie and ice cream, unctuous and rich and apple pie and ice cream. A great find this pub. We left replete.

£8.40 for a standard glass of wine complete joke staff had no personality place was dead I wonder why , never again , we used to go there 3 times a week but never now very greedy

Went for sunday lunch a week ago. The beef was quality, the roast potatoes were done really really well (crunchy, not soggy or too dry, and were coated with herbs, which was nice), decent roasted reg, and some really, truely amazing stuffing. Yorkshire lacked crunch but still had good flavour, so I coped. All in all, it was a high-effort roast by the Royal Oak and worth the money. Hospitable service. Good food and atmosphere.

Booked in for Sunday lunch and sat down to be told several items including the only vegan option not available. Fortunately there was a vegetarian option, this and meat roast could be best described as mostly edible. Wished we had left rather than chancing it. Discount was offered and gratefully received.

Had the pie, chips and gravy which was delicious. Pastry and filling was so nice, the chips were very tasty too! Lovely woman served us, lovely looking pub. Will definitely return

Went for a steak for Valentines day. The service was excellent. The steak was absolutely perfect and so tender. We will go again. Ps dessert was delicious too

Ate here last night with friends. Two members of staff to cover the bar and restaurant and service was poor, food mediocre, tasted like it'd all been pre cooked and heated up again. The cod was surrounded in a huge amount of tomato style sauce, sprouts hadn't been prepared properly. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't return.

We had a lovely family time! The food was good, the staff were very friendly, really cosy place.

Booked table for 12 mid day as going to panto at 2 9 at the table 2 kids .Werent told on booking it wd only be festive lunch .Not ready to start serving at 12 as staff didnt seem to be in .Food was very poor veg over cooked ,turkey ok .but not worth money had to have 2 courses which some of us didnt want .Staff were quite disorganised !!! Wouldnt visit again .

Thought we would give it a try to support new business Booked for an evening meal weeks before,when we got there told it was only Christmas menu ,seating was terrible there was a draft in one seat .,Food arrived bland Turkey with very cold potatoes and not much veg and very watery gravy .pudding lemon roulade served with still frozen fruit . Wine served in beer glasses and brandy in a whisky glass Bill was all wrong they had added 2 more bottles of wine on it Waited over half hour for them to come and receive payment Young lady serving meal was very efficient But we will not be back

Had a beer wouldn’t let me have another beer in the same glass - strarted quoting HEATH & SAFTY LAWS, saying it’s dangerous using the same glass with COVID about ! But u got an open fire with NO FIRE guard and candles lit on the window sill ?….

Excellent service and great food

Good location but very disappointed in the welcome, atmosphere, service and food- Sunday lunch. Under new management who, to be honest, are novices and appeared to have little experience of how to run a restaurant.

Recently reopened under new management so thought I'd give it a try. Very disappointing... no atmosphere, very poor hospitality and service. Food was 'ok' but not what I would have expected based on how it was before. Definitely will not return or recommend

Small but adequate seating. Meals were large and very good.

Great Sunday roast here and dog friendly. Edit: Nov 2023 - after two recent visits here it's fair to say the quality of the food has fallen dramatically. Would not recommend currently.

Saturday evening visit, ate in the restaurant. Friendly staff and excellent service. Good value food and it was served quickly and piping hot. I had the pie which was lovely.... The mash, veg and gravy were a bit average, I'd make better at home. But overall, a good experience.... More pub grub than restaurant quality.

Went when we heard about new menu. Went at lunchtime. Enjoyed 2 lots of 3 tapas for £12 for 3 of us. Good value, good portion size, delicious. Nice eating area at rear. Only reason not 5 stars is poor table service. Had to ask if we needed to order at bar or at table. Told table service but no one came even though we were seen by several staff. In the end had to catch someone's attention. Food did come in a reasonable time and staff did check all was OK. Would go again and try evening menu.

We were visiting the area and stopped off for Sunday lunch. It was delicious we were impressed by the quality of the food and it was really great value.the staff were friendly & helpful and we had a lovely chat with the new head chef. Keep up the great work

Popped in while staying in the area for the weekend. Food was excellent good quality and presented very well. Staff very friendly. The pub itself felt very inviting and cosy.

We stayed at the hotel for one night and unfortunately the experience did not live up to expectations. Firstly, the kitchen was closed so there was no food available and for a Saturday night there were only a couple of people at the bar or outside, so absolutely no atmostphere. Luckily, there are plenty of other places to eat and drink in Evesham. Our room was not too bad, but certainly not luxurious as advertised on their website. The TV was absolutely tiny and it was difficult to see the screen was so small. The fan in the bathroom was blowing debris into the bathroom, rather than extracting. It's such a shame, as under good management the place could be so much better. Overall, very disappointing and we won't be going back.

Nice little pub, but no food due to staffing problems

Good place with good food, staff was very kind and special mention to Magda that made our experience even better. Thank you

Very disappointing, We had to wait 50 minutes for a sandwich and fish and chips and the pub was half empty. Definitely understaffed the lady taking orders had a very little understanding of the menu and was not really able to manage the pub. She was also working alone so she was overwhelmed as well. We waited so long that one of the worker from the kitchen after watching us sitting at our table hopeless he took again the our order and finally we had some food. Food was average, nothing special. We paid and left having wasted enough time

Visited with family and was happy to find this dog friendly pub in the heart of Evesham. A reasonable Sunday roast in pleasant surroundings

I don't normally feel moved to post reviews but, after we randomly picked the Oak for something to eat on a Saturday lunchtime, I thought they should get some coverage. The food was over and above what you would expect to find in a pub on the high street. Our meals were all of restaurant quality. The building itself is a traditional English pub although not your standard mock Tudor place; this being Evesham, it was authentically of the period. The interior, however, had a more contemporary feel but with traditional touches like a real open fire. We were out of its range but the flames could've benefited from a fire guard when the wood started spitting! We lived to tell the tale though... Finally, the staff were all what you'd want them to be, both hospitable and helpful.

Perfect corner for a cosy pint or whatever takes your fancy! Barmaid was lovely and very knowledgeable. Had trouble with guiness but won it back with a premium larger! The pub is a lovely space with a prime location!!

We decided to book a table in mid December, for 20 family members to get together for a meal , which we do every year. The furthest travellers coming from Woking. When we arrived Apart from two lads sat at a table we were the only ones there, we decided to get a drink while waiting, I was ready for a nice pint of ale but there was none to be had, an excuse of a delivery was made but the ale hadn't settled (planning at its best). All that was on offer was continental lager mouthwash. So a pint of orange juice and lemonade was ordered and first out was a pint of lemonade which when pointed out to staff that was wrong appeared to be our fault. When the group came together we were ushered into a side room which was good for a get together. That is where "the good" started and ended. the starters came out and 9/10 the of my warmed up stale breaded mozzarella went back. the main of pork belly wasn't too bad but you cant do much wrong with a microwave oven these days. After asking for a waitress to take a drinks order we were faced with more thigs out of stock. Desserts were the same out of stock, the chosen replacement cheesecake then came ten minutes after everyone else's dessert (perhaps Bookers were late delivering that, too). All in All a christmas get together, which was booked and food ordered two weeks previous, is an experience that wasn't expected and one i'm convinced would not have happened under the previous ownership. A sad demise of a once great venue and one which we will never be returning.

The pub and dining area is laid out lovely and or presentation of the food was very nice. Starter was delicious but main was so bland. Service very inattentive always had to call wait staff over. We went for a late dinner on a week day and it was empty should’ve been a lot better. We went as two couples and children’s and spent quite a bit - our experience should have been a lot nicer.

Visited today for my partner's 50th Birthday with friends and the food and service was great! We also visited for my birthday in October and for Mother's Day earlier with a larger party in the function room this year and again great food! Lovely traditional pub, with high quality tasty grub!

Looked on Tripadvisor for a well rated place to have a Sunday lunch in Evesham. This pub has 4 + rating. Went into a fairly charmless bar and restaurant. Very few customers at 1400 on a Sunday was an ominous warning sign. ( I’d guess at no more than 10 customers and 4 staff) Nevertheless we ordered 2 from the choice of three set Sunday roasts. Waited 40 minutes with no food arriving so had to ask how long it would be, reply was “5 minutes”, no explanation or apology. It didn’t arrive so paid for our drinks from the bar and left. Just tell customers when they arrive how long they are likely to wait if there is a problem. Not everybody has spare time on their hands.

Unpretentious, well priced pub food done well. Also good service, which in today's UK is unusual. I don't really eat out that often now as so often I get overpriced, unexceptional food and poor service. I know the reasons for this and much of it is out of the control of the establishment you're in but it's refreshing to find somewhere that's worth going to. I'm not local to Evesham but occasionally visit the town. This is the second time we have eaten here, chosen again as the first time was also a good experience.

Visit the Royal Oak 5 Vine Street Evesham . We had a great Sunday lunch special for 2 £35.00 starter or a pudding with Sunday lunch.The beef was excellent.

Found ourself in Evesham and hungry so we popped into this gem of a pub hoping they did food….. The general manager is a charming guy who is extremely friendly and customer focussed and the pub itself is warm and welcoming (we popped into a...

Excellent pub, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff, superb food, clean and great place to have a beer or 3. Callum (the manager) was very welcoming and literally couldn’t do enough for us, well recommended.🍻

Myself and 3 others came for the Sunday roast. And the fact that we cleared all the plates and extras says a lot about this place. Lamb roast x 2, pork belly and the vegetarian is what we had. Incredible food and service from Magda....

Popped in for a delightful light supper. Lots of interesting dishes to choose from in a lovely setting with delicious cocktails. Something for every taste

Greeted with a warm friendly smile and enjoyed a brilliant Sunday lunch with generous portions without going over the top. Attention to detail very good from polished glasses to smart appearance of the well trained staff.

Excellent food Well entertained by Tara and Renee Enjoyed a pint of purity and an excellent home made pie Would come back anytime

My wife and I weren’t sure where to eat yesterday and because The Royal Oak looked historic with its latices windows and timbers we decided to go for our lunch there The service was fantastic and I was really spoilt by being given several beers...
