The Royal Oak in Rugby

Best pub food I have had for a long time, and lovely friendly staff, and best of all great prices

Lovely relaxing place, Excellent food, quality, dog friendly, Nice place to enjoy a good meal and a drink 😊

Wonderful meal at lunchtime. Service was fabulous, nothing too much trouble. Great selection of food on the menu, reasonably priced and tasty! A great selection of drinks available too :) will be back :)

Very disappointed roast potatoes nearly impossible to cut carrots hard and overdone two of the thinnest parsnips also overdone stuffing bland best thing was Yorkshire overall a very poor Sunday lunch

Stopped here as was too early for an event, lovely place. Quiet and very classic pub vibes. Food was exceptional, stunning presentation. Would recommend and will definitely be back now I know it’s here!

Fantastic food great prices lovely place

Really nice prawn curry, tender prawns, just too little (only 4 or max of 5). Food was just enough for me. Apple and berry crumble and a very nice vanilla ice cream. Nice atmosphere. Really busy for a Wednesday night which shows locals like the food. Also didn't have my dog with me as I was on a business trip, but how cute is the dog menu and they've got toys for dogs 🐕😍☺️😊

Fairly traditional English pub, has overcome great difficulties with flooding in the last few years. Energetic and cheerful team, feels a little dated but who knows where it may go. Was there for breakfast...!!

The food, atmosphere and the service are absolutely brilliant 👍 Definitely Highly Recommend 👍

Lovely food and very good value

Lovely countryside pub on the outskirts of Coventry, easy to get to, lovely location, plenty of car parking space, lovely staff, we'll be back.

A very pleasant atmosphere with comfortably spaced tables and nice decor. The staff were lovely and service was good. We asked if we could move somewhere else when our time was up and we were shown to a nice area where we continued to order drinks and chat. The food was good, my husband thought his roast beef dinner wasn't hot enough but the beef was beautifully tender. My sea bass was nice enough over vegetables but it was dry, could have done with a sauce of some sort. We would definitely come again.

Really nice food well priced and found the staff really friendly

Food was lovely but wasn't very keen on the mash which was served on my plate Servce was very quick and staff are very polite and friendly Toilets facilities are ok but not very friendly in ladies as there were lower steps to entance cubicles however I avoided this and went straight along to the cubicle opposite the door due to my sight impairment

Perfect for an enjoyable celebration

An amazing Sunday Lunch at the Royal Oak. We were a big party but the staff were so attentive and dealt with all our requests quickly and efficiently. This was on top of some absolutely great food 😁 The roasts was one of the nicest I have had in a while, not to mention the gorgeous sticky toffee pudding 🍮 We didn't feel rushed at all, despite it being a packed restaurant (for good reason). Prices are also extremely reasonable - faultless!

Great breakfast, good choice of breakfasts. Good quality and good value. Good service, nice place. Will definitely come back.

The royal oak is a lovely pub, we had a meal there last night. The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. Really lovely cosy atmosphere, would highly recommend

Brilliant meal and service. Thoroughly enjoyed everything. Ambience at the Royal Oak is always great making for an enjoyable occasion. Very good value.

Really nice lunch date with my husband. First time I've been there, very good quality food and great service 👌

Just went out for a meal with coworkers at the Royal Oak. The food was great, the atmosphere is lovely and has good customer service. Although me and collegue mash potatoe wasn't the best, quite on dry side but everything else was spot on. Thank you 😊

Lovely pub from the outside with plenty of carparking spaces. Very quant and cosy inside. Would like to see more vegetarian vegan choices.

Lovely country pub that serves great food drink. Very friendly and welcoming staff, our go to place for Sunday dinner.

Nice friendly I really enjoyed being there

Absolutely LOVE The Royal Oak it's my fave pub for a meal. As usual the food did not disappoint and is great value for money. Pub has a great atmosphere and the staff are always brilliant. Had a laugh with Jack who is always so friendly and helpful. I have to say I do miss my fave dessert which was always the Creme Brulee with shortbread and was always a winner for me, so sad to see that go from the menu a while ago 😭. I'll definitely be back again soon though. Thank you

Lovely food from a varied menu. Friendly and attentive staff. Will go again

Service was good. I had the seabass. The fish didn't seem fresh. There were onions and cabbage underneath the fish, which did not go at all. The chips were nice. Also, the wine was rank!

Great gluten free roast dinner. It is always a pleasure to eat at the Royal Oak Brandon as I know they understand about coeliac disease. There is always a friendly atmosphere it’s a great place to eat. Looking forward to trying the fluten free fish and chips.

Lunch with my sister, lovely place, great food and staff ... disappointly no chocolate fudge cake today as this was amazing when we last went.

A very nice small village pub. Food quality is above the average and at a reasonable price. Service and atmosphere are very good as well. It is worth the short journey to get there.

Was an afternoon drink on a Monday. We didn't eat but it was very pleasant .

Nice friendly staff and lovely food

A party of 6 for Sunday dinner. The service was excellent from the time we were seated until we finished the meal. The roast dinner was of a generous portion which was enjoyable. The burgers & fries were well presented and very tasty. And my sea bass on a bed of veg with new potatoes was excellent. Thank you for a lovely meal at a reasonable price.

My wife had sea bass and the presentation and quality was poor I had the chicken and leek pie but it had a puff pastry lid that you had to flatten before you could eat it. Disappointing as we had been before and enjoyed it.

Very nice well presented and friendly efficient service.

Great little village pub, with a big heart.

Nice restaurant, nice staff, and constantly good food!

Couldn't fault it, a warm welcome, followed by excellent food and service.

If you haven't been to the Royal Oak at Brandon you should put it on your list as a priority. The staff are led by Cara who is amazing, service is fantastic and food is incredible. Good quality well cooked and great value. We love it there.

Excellent place to meet up. Good service and fair priced quality food, especially the 2 for 1 deal. I believe the Royal Oak Brandon is the best in the area, for the reason's mentioned.

Popped in for dinner on Friday night while away on holiday in Coventry. The pub was packed and we didn't have a booking but the waitress managed to find us a table for 4 people. We all had lasagna, both meat and vegetable. It was absolutely delicious. So many flavours and clearly homemade with care. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. The pub is warm and cosy with a nice atmosphere. Really enjoyed our visit here!!!!

Good food with good service at a good price

Fairly lively little place for a Sunday breakfast. Great sausages, and extra special hash browns. Personally I fail to understand why many places like this only serve half a tomato, as not the most expensive item on the plate, why not give all of it to match 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs!

Excellent as usual great value for money.

Service Good. I’ve withheld a Star on my score because my niece had what is normally her favourite Peppered Chicken and she said that the Sauce was not as nice as it normally is. The sauce was rather watery and it didn’t taste very peppery. She told me this when we were travelling home - I did tell her she should have complained at the time in the restaurant. She said she wouldn’t have it again as she was disappointed. Her partners meal and my meal were very nice. The 2-4-1 Offer is still a great deal - in fact The Royal Oaks 2-4-1 deal is the best value for money in the whole of Coventry and the surrounding areas.

Stopped for dinner while passing through from London to Blackpool. Excellent food, great service & puppy loved the treats.

This is my favourite pub restaurant to visit, the staff are always helpful, warm and friendly. The food is always excellent and also reasonably priced. There is always a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. I cannot recommend this establishment enough.

Had Sunday roast. Beef had lots of fat on. Not many vegetables but lovely big Yorkshire pudding !

Service excellent, food very good no complaints will certainly go again.

Good food pub. Very big range of food both for starters and mains, prices very reasonable, portions good size. If you like a desert, then consider not having a starter as you may not have enough room for the desert. Can recommend the "oak" chicken (vairiation on hunters chicken) and the pepper chicken. For a sweet go for the sherry trifle... they are not kidding with the sherry.

Always a pleasure visiting for food or drinks.

Came on a Sunday for a family meal. All meals were lovely and very good service

Attended here with the family for my son’s birthday and could not have asked for a better day. Service was excellent, food was tremendous and nothing was too much trouble for them all the way through. Thank you for making my sons birthday meal as good as it could have been

Had a lovely Saturday lunch here. My beef pie was scrumptious. We took advantage of the 2 for 1 menu. Four large soft drinks and four quality meals in a lovely environment for £40! I would recommend booking as it gets really busy.

We often meet friends for lunch here. Excellent food, drink, friendy staff and comfortable surroundings. Outstanding value. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great family meal for 6 people. Good choice of dishes. Everything perfectly cooked. Prompt, efficient and polite service. Recommended.

A nice place . The food is good, and the prices are fair , however the place does get busy, especially on a Friday and Saturday so a booking is a good idea expect to pay about £45 for a two course meal for two including a bottle of wine

Excellent food and service as always!!! This time we had the Sunday roast, one of each option as there were 3 of us, and all were delicious.

A wonderful evening with family. Staff were wonderful - helpful, professional and friendly whilst providing a quick & attentive service. The food was lush and for a large table, we were served promptly and food arrived hot. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend - my first visit but not my last!

This is one of those places I've driven past a hundred times and finally went in for lunch today. It's as good as all the reviewers say and I'm going to make it a regular thing. 😋

A hidden little gem of a pub. The food was tasty and cooked to perfection. Slight mix up with the bill and the deal that was on that evening, but quickly sorted and very friendly and apologetic for doing so.

Despite living nearby for years this was the first time visiting. The menu choices were really good, the food was awesome and the staff very friendly. It was fairly quiet when we went mid afternoon so can't comment on the atmosphere generally. It was reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend.

Great food nice atmosphere and some sunny outdoor seats 😎 Two car parks, different levels and private area's inside for groups

Great food, good prices and really good service from everyone, the staff work as a real team.

Been dining at the Royal Oak for several years however recently we have had two very bad experiences, I asked to speak to the manager but no manager was available so we had to leave unhappy. I have emailed asking to have a call back from a manager and none was forthcoming hence the negative review here. The service has dropped off a cliff, it seems they have a very high turnover of young staff and no-one really cares about the customer experience now, so unfortunately we won't be returning, such a shame as we have taken friends and family and recommended to others, not any longer and no longer recommend, they seem to be a victim of their own success...

Salmon salad ... bowl of small salad leaves and two tiny bits of tomato (the stalk bit). No onion, pepper or anything else I expected to find in a salad. Wouldn't recommend for the price. Husband had moules and said it was fine, avoid the salad, not worth the cost.

Lovely pub by the rail track. Ample parking though we walked from a nearby hotel. Stopped one evening for a drink and returned lunchtime next day. 2 for 1 menu with loads of choice. Day before we saw the menu but lucky to get seated as very busy. Staff well dressed, polite and accommodating. Very good service. Less than £30 for two good meals and two alcoholic drinks. If passing would definitely return.

Excellent staff, service and food. Unbelievable Price. Thank you so much.

Glad to see it open again, consistent value for quality food thanks back soon

Very comfortable and relaxing pub friendly staff

Lovely pub . Very friendly staff . 241 meal deals lunch times are great . Opens at 8am - 11am for breakfast . Dog friendly . Outside seating . Probably need to book at weekends if you want to eat inside. Gets very busy . Highly recommend.

Beautiful country pub in brandon well worth a visit

Friendly service and great food thanks

Nice place very busy for a monday

Beautiful pub/restaurant, two and a half hours away from where we live but our daughters go to, children friendly staff amazing, food is more than tasty, facilities clean and tidy ,

Visited for a work team lunch on a Monday afternoon. The menu is great, loads of options. We all had something different and everyone (party of 6) really enjoyed our meals. We all felt the quality and quantity was great value. The pub itself feels lovely, it feels like a nice cosy country pub. The staff were great - got us seated quickly and the service was perfect the whole time we were there. Plenty of parking available.

Excellent customer service. The food was lovely and brought out within good time of ordering. Staff are attentive and approachable. We are returning in the near future for a very special celebration.

Nice meal good service , the atmosphere is great it was very busy but everyone was served quickly and with a smile from the very efficient staff. Was a great dining experience and will definitely be back. The fish and chips were amazing.

We came for drinks which was really nice in the garden but the smell of the food convinced us to eat for the first time here in years and I can’t praise it enough. The service was excellent and the food was beautifully cooked, well presented and hot. I can’t praise this pub enough considering the flood problem over the past year. Well done!

Really good service food was good and very reasonably priced enjoyable lunch

Unfortunately we were really disappointed by our meal at The Royal Oak. The staff were very nice, however we had to wait until 8:45 for mains which we had ordered upon arrival at 7PM. We did go in to enquire after an hour and a half, so believe we may have been forgotten. We had hoped to get a coffee or dessert to finish, however there was no time for this by the time we had eaten. The chicken and leek pie was nice, however we found the mixed grill to be quite small (especially for the price) and our loaded fries were completely soggy, as they had been covered in a very wet and garlicky sauce that was not advertised on the menu. The portion of this was also a little disappointing! Starters were nice, however for every meal we had to specifically ask for cutlery, which also made us feel quite forgotten. I emailed after the meal hoping for a little resolution (even just an acknowledgement!) so as to not leave a review, however did not get any response. We probably would not come back or recommend this restaurant to others.

Lovely country pub with excellent food and drink. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

A big thank you to the Royal Oak for being accommodating when we had to change our booking from 5 to 4 diners and seating us at a big table so that our 5th member could join us for a drink after the meal Well cooked meal at a good price (2for1) with good service from friendly staff Highly recommend

Wholesome food at a wholesome price!

Everyone had a great meal and the service was good. Even though they were very busy didn't have to wait too long for our meal and all 6 meals were perfect. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back.

Great value. Lovely salmon salad. Service good and staff friendly

Great countryside pub, that charges at a very reasonable price. Didn’t eat but the food looked very good.

An attractive pub and our waitress was lovely. Shame about the food though, my lasagna was awful.

What a lovely pub ! We visit here regularly and I just wanted to spread the word of how good it really is. Whether you want to sit outside and enjoy a drink or sit inside in their newly refurbished restaurant for a wonderful meal, you’ll not be disappointed. The staff are always friendly, lovely service and the 2-1 Surf & Turf is excellent !! If I could I’d move house to Brandon so I could use the pub more often 🥂

Great meal at lunchtime today. Good value, delicious food and great service.

Amazing experience in Royal Oak, we actually visited twice in one day. We've started with breakfast in the morning, must have been one of the best ones I have ever had. Freshly baked bun, fresh and crispy bacon, fluffy pancakes, absolutely spot on! In the evening we have enjoyed dinner and bottle of wine. Again everything was cooked to perfection. Staff was very friendly and polite and looked after us properly. Place itself is gorgeous and has an amazing atmosphere. Short drive from Coventry, huge car park outside , you can also enjoy beer garden outside if your lucky enough to find a spot, as place is very busy. But with this kind of service and food it's understandable!! Can't wait to visit again

The staff were the jewel in the crown for this place. Knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. They knew it was our first time and made sure we understood how things were organised. Food was brilliant and a good price too.

Stopped in hotel room for night good value rooms a little outdated and very noisy as floor boards in other rooms creaked none stop lovely pub and gardens

Had a really good pub curry served by really friendly staff. Big car park and lots of tables inside and out though appeared to be very popular as it filled out really quickly.

We go here regularly, and the food is always superb, the service is fast even when busy and the staff are always lovely. Love the crumbles!!!

The food was lovely, as usual. We had an incident whereby one of our guests fell down the step into the gents toilets. One of the staff kindly helped to get him up off the floor and came to make sure his wife was OK.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was really nice, we all had something different and it was all good.

Lovely food, great service and value for money
