I went here with my wife to celebrate my birthday and to support this establishment which had been devastated by the winter floods and had recently reopened after being refurbished.We were welcomed by the lovely staff who were very attentive and efficient. Our starters and main course were excellent and freshly cooked to perfection.We took advantage of the two for one main course and were extremely pleased with the bill which was excellent value.We will definitely be going back soon and plan to do so regularly.

After a last minute change of plans it was great that the Royal Oak could fit in a group of 14. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. The menu is varied with lots to chose from. The staff informed us that the wait maybe a little longer than normal due to the size of the party and the last minute booking. However as a group we felt the waiting time was more than acceptable and if anything surprisingly quick, all things considered. However the starters was disappointing. Paying £6.50 for three callimari rings is unacceptable and a joke. I understand sea food isn't the cheapest of foods, but paying over £2.16 per ring is a rip off. The staff did discount the bill and acknowledged the small portions but only after being challenged. meaning they was originally more than happy to charge us the full price knowing it was substandard. The rest of the meal was lovely, with everyone clearing there plates. In essence we all said we would eat here again. The Royal Oak catered for a large group at very short notice and on the whole it was very nice. Just watch the portion sizes

We came here with my mum for lunch, we ate off the 241 menu and expected the portions to be small but we were genuinely surprised when they came out. All the food was tasty and hot. The staff were very friendly and smiley which I love, in lots of eateries the waiting staff do not smile very much. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Booked a table here for an early evening meal prior to going to the lights at Coombe Abbey . The pub was busy when we arrived but our table was reserved and ready for us . They accommodated our two young grand children well with a high chair and crayons and puzzles . The service was great they can took our drinks order and gave us time to choose our mains . Plenty of variety on the menu and a 2-4-1 offer as well . I chose the burger which was a little dry but came with accompanying mayo etc so all was ok . I plumbed for the sticky toffee pudding as sweet which was super . Try the place it’s only 11mins from Coombe Abbey and with an open fire is just right for these dark nights .

Have just got home from a great Christmas lunch at The Royal Oak with my team. The meal was pretty much perfect, the turkey was succulent and there was a great serving of veg. I had the pate starter and crème brûlée dessert and they were great. Service was excellent, we were well looked after despite the pub being busy. All agreed that food and service were great. Great to see as I have a soft spot for this pub, it was a student haunt of mine 40 years ago. Well done to the team, especially the kitchen. We look forward to visiting again.

Our mains were equally as lovely and good value.I had their Italian pancake and it was delicious.my husband had steak ale and mushroom pie and couldn’t fault it,one of the best he’s had.service was very efficient and I would definitely return if in the area again and highly recommend.

Food was very, very good, we ordered the surf'n turf and the lasagne, both cooked perfectly, and the 2 for 1 (limited days/times) was a pleasant surprise to the wallet. Even without the prices are reasonable. Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back to sample the interior ambience. Thanks.

Went for lunch on a Sunday, service was very prompt and lunch was on the table within 5min of ordering, making it feel a bit rushed. Vegan selection was ok main meal wise, but only sorbet available for dessert, which meant no one bothered having a pudding. Generally a nice pub with good service and pleasent atmosphere.

Arrived and our online reservation wasn't on the system. Maybe it was my mistake....I don't know. Waited 30 mins for a table and enjoyed a good point, then ordered. Sunday roast was bland and swimming in packet gravy. Burger was good and the fish tasted old and dry, chips good though. Crumble had a pastry base and crumble sprinkled on top. Novel but nice. Pleasant but won't be rushing back.

I have been here a few times. This week we sat down stairs. It was a bad idea. It took ages to get menus, then ages to get our food. I didn't get what l ordered but they did put it right. At first the young girl who served us was surly and not in the least bit friendly. They did not have many staff. The 2 for one meals at lunch time make the pub popular. There is plenty of parking. There is an outside eating area.

Great food at a great price. Also at least 4 real cask condition ales to choose from. UPDATE Just returned from probably one of the worst meals I've ever had. Ordered a medium rump steak and chips at a price of £18.50 which turned out to be inedible. Blood running over the plate and extremely chewy. Only managed to eat 30% and when asked by the waitress if everything was ok I pointed out the problems and was told she would let the chef know. No apology or offer of reduced bill. My family and I will not be returning any time soon.

If I could put zero stars I would. Messed up my booking to start with. Tried to blame it on me when my booking says the right time. Told me I amended it at a time in the morning when I was definitely asleep. Asked me to prove my booking and I did. Poor attitude. Said they would fit us in (even though it wasn’t my error, no matter how much you try and make out it was). And when we arrived, made us (with an 84 year old woman) wait outside in the cold because we thought we’d be a little early to not inconvenience you more seeing as it seems we did just by booking in to start with. I don’t care about the replies you give us to this review. Your place is shocking and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone !! Never coming back. We phoned up Golden Lion in Easenhall to accommodate us (8 people) last minute, and they were more than happy to oblige. They were super polite and the food was delicious. Highly recommend going there instead of this dive.

Unfortunately we were seated and then forgotten about. So we couldn't order any drinks, people came in after us had their drinks order and food. Still nobody came over I stopped someone and asked if anyone was serving, they acknowledged but disappeared downstairs. At that point we decided to leave and I don't think anybody noticed until I spoke to the person on leaving that was still stood doing nothing and obviously not bothered. First time visit and clearly the last.

We’ve been visiting over the last few years and the food and service has slowly declined. Unfortunately we had terrible service on a previous visit, but decided to give them another chance last night. Food was totally mediocre…chicken was tough, batter on fish was chewy and I got a mouthful of sediment from the bottle of red I was drinking. Service however was much better this visit. I did email feedback privately last time (was requested) and thought it was disappointing it was not acknowledged. Im afraid we wouldn’t visit again.
