The Royal Oak in Rugby

We didn't stop so can't comment.

45 minute wait for a burger and a salad. Busy and noisy but there seemed to be enough staff, they just weren't very efficient. No one at the var when we arrived and later when I couldn't get a waitresses attention at our table I went to get my own drink from the bar, but again, noone there.

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.

Food excellent staff are very friendly and helpful and polite highly recommended

Despite being very busy this lunchtime, the staff worked to maintain good service. The food was good and good value. Only downside was a child continuously running around the pub despite efforts by staff to try to stop him. Parents….not remotely interested in controlling the child!

Lovely, friendly staff, food delicious. Nothing was too much trouble, made very welcome. Value for money

Tasty food, super quick service, quite quiet for a Friday evening

Lovely well cooked breakfast,would highly recommend,staff couldn’t do enough for you

great food great vibes it’s always lovely. Had the best time and best crumble

Nice friendly atmosphere, the staff are more than accomodating cannot fault the service and in a lovely location with ample parking

Been here a number of times over the years and it is consistently good value for money. The food is not trying too hard and it does the basics well. Service had always been good and with a smile, and even when the last to leave you don't feel rushed out. The pub is split into different areas so the atmosphere is good too with a nice bar and fire 🔥

Met friends for lunch, it is always busy so best to book. They do 2 for 1 so it is a good deal, the food was good, staff friendly and helpful. Carpark over the road. Would recommend

Waited an hour for a roast dinner for lunch, but the lunch basically became dinner (14:40). Wouldn’t have minded if the food was worth the wait, but it wasn’t. It was a real anti-climax and a real disappointment. The roast chicken was pretty bland and was almost like it was re-baked in the oven. I did complain when asked, yet they did nothing to compensate for it. Second and last time I will go here for food.

Excellent range of options for vegetarians. Good 2-1 offer. Staff were outstanding: friendly, attentive & welcoming.

Excellent service, food and location. Would definitely recommend the Brandon Oak which has an old fashioned charm. Also has a small dog friendly area.

Fabulous place to have a long overdue family gathering. They were incredibly accommodating when we had 3 cancellations from our party of 10 at the last moment. Delicious food at an amazing price of 2 for 1. Absolutely brilliant. Will 100% be back again!

Great venue for our large family to get together. The food and service was excellent, there were 18 of us in total and everything was very good.

We have previously met with friends and eat at the pub. Food was plentiful, tasty and well cook as evidenced by the empty plates. Staff were friendly and helpful. No complaints

Very good Sunday lunch. Highly recommend! The pork was delicious. The half chicken went down really well. Staff are lovely too.

Excellent food and a good choice of dishes at a very reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit and will return again.

Came for breakfast this morning. I’ve been here for dinner many times years ago but never breakfast. The place was almost empty and there was no atmosphere at all. Some soft music in the background would’ve gone a long way to break the eerie and uncomfortable silence. Food was nice and well presented. One thing I can’t get over is the waitress coming over with the card machine whilst we both had our mouths full asking us to pay the bill because she was finishing her shift! Awkwardly we agreed, but she didn’t even present us with a bill, just told us the balance and expected us to cough up. In all my years I’ve never experienced such rudeness during a meal! I waited around after we’d finished so that I could relay this to the waitress but she was nowhere to be seen and we had to be somewhere. Very disappointed as I’ve always spoken highly of this restaurant.

The service is always so friendly, accommodating and welcoming. The food is great, and a good selection of drinks. My family love coming here.

Wonderful... great food...definitely recommend.

Excellent as usual great value for money.

Arranged to meet some friends and decided to try The Royal Oak Brandon as have not been since last year. Lunchtime they have a 2 4 1 menu which we tried. Food was tasty and well presented, portions a little on the smaller size but that suited me. Good selection of drinks and nice desserts. The staff were friendly and really pleasant. Only downside was no hot water to wash your hands in the toilets. Will definitely return.

Lovely pub with very nice atmosphere. The food and drinks were served by friendly staff and didn't take too long to arrive at the table. 2 for 1 lunch menu is varied and very popular - would recommend booking - will definitely be going back

Fantastic food great prices lovely place great prices.

Always nice to come here, and the mains are generally lovely, especially at 2-4-1 prices. Disappointed today however that a long-time favourite dessert was a shadow of its former self. The brownie sundae hasn't been served in a sundae glass for a while now for some reason (the Knickerbocker Glory still is), and had reduced in size over the years, but now also in quality. There were 4 small pieces of hard, dry, stale brownie edges that looked like offcuts from a previous day, and which were inedible. This really isn't good enough. Informed the staff when paying, but not sure they were very interested. Had to go to the till to pay as they seem to be understaffed and forget you, but this always seems to be the case.

Thank you to Khara and the team for helping to make our wedding reception so special! 23 people served with freshly cooked hot food almost all at the same time. Everyone loved their meals...and we appreciated being able to stay until everyone wound down (including your poor staff!!!). Breakfast for 11 the next morning was equally well catered - we didn't eat again for the rest of the day - well done, all! Julie and David xx

Excellent food and customer service. Was in the area for work and we wished we had eaten here for the full week. Thanks guys

Good food and atmosphere, although had trouble hearing my partner where we were sat due to the acoustics. As it was a Sunday the service felt a little slow, they could have been understaffed. The staff gave great service, but had to cover quite a lot of tables.

Fantastic pub. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere with lovely food. Would certainly recommend a visit.

Very happy with our visit today

I like this place, however the food wasn't as good as my last visit - maybe a change in chefs?

Wow only went by chance, but the food and service were exceptional. The best fish and chips we've had in a pub for a long time. The puddi gs were also very good. Highly recommend.

Just come back from a lovely meal. Food was superb and service was excellent. Thank you ☺️

Had an amazing and memorable meal with my mother. Highly recommend!

Lovely traditional pub with ample parking. We enjoy the pies here and recently had a Sunday roast, the beef was served rare as asked for. The disabled toilet was truly accessible with plenty of space for wheelchair/changing/large pushchair, also nice and clean.

The ambience, attentiveness of the staff and the delicious food today resulted in a lovely experience and we’ll all be back soon. Thank you!

Good service ...tasty food. Vonly concern was a lot of the mussels had cracked shells and a couple unopened. Think it's important these things are resolved.

We regularly use The Royal Oak as it always delivers great food and good value with excellent service.

Had a lovely meal with family , food hot ,tasty and good for price. Staff very friendly and helpful. Place cosy and warm ,clean

Love this little gem. Extra parking opposite. Good portion size. Fresh food. Price reflects quality . Service was great and timely, staff were helpful.

An extensive food menu but also an excellent 2-4-1 offering seven days a week. Food is great, not gastro pub level but then not gastro pub prices, but everything tasted good, served hot and fresh and so all that anyone could ask for. Excellent drinks offering too.

Have used this pub for years and never been disappointed until my last two visits over last few weeks! Chicken was that tough (oak chicken) I couldn’t eat it, new potatoes tasted reheated sent most of meal for bin no one asked if everything was OK! Next visit nachos arrived to table burnt, lasagne had mince mix, one slice of pasta with cheese on top!! That’s not lasagne! Both visits very disappointing

Enjoy nice food, the staff will look after you, friendly and helpful, go home feeling well fed🙂

Came here for a works Christmas meal. Food was served quickly, every dish was well presented and exceeded expectations in terms of quality. Would say that it was money well spent and I have spent time recommending the place to anyone who will listen.

We were a table of 10 and were very impressed with everything, the service, excellent food and value for money

Amazing food. Full English breakfast was delicious and the variety of food for the vegetarian option was fantastic. Lovely friendly welcome and staff, good service despite it being extremely busy. Would highly recommend.

Went for breakfast today with a big group. It did not disappoint. To be honest for a pub to deliver the quality of breakfast they did was great. Great staff, great food and a lovely pub highly recommend.

We had a lovely evening for our Christmas team meal. The food was very good, tasty and we all enjoyed it. Sherry trifle was amazing!! Waiting staff were very nice and although it got really busy they still managed to keep smiling and look after everyone.

Visitors the Royal Oak for a work Christmas meal. We pre-booked and paid for food, which worked extremely well. The service was speedy, considering the large number of guests. The Christmas menu had a good choice and the food was delicious, large portion sizes and well presented, all of our group commented on the good food, service and atmosphere in the pub. Huge thanks

First time at the Oak - for Christmas lunch today with friends. Online booking all works well and pre booking food made it easier on the day for serving. Warm welcome , nice festive atmosphere and great friendly service. We had the Xmas menu and the food was fabulous. Great starters of creamy warm soup and fresh Salmon and avocado, then a really well cooked and filling roast turkey meal with trimmings which was hot and delicious. The chocolate fondant dessert was lovely too. The Xmas menu is fabulous value for money, well cooked, generous portion and really delicious. Thanks to the lovely staff as well who were working very efficiently in that busy environment

Carwood motor unit had a work Christmas party on the 13th December 2024. Could not fault it great food, great service! Joni you were a superstar!

I came in for food with some family and friends I would like to say that the service was terrible waiting for the food was bad we waited over 40 mins just for the starters to come out and the place wasn’t busy at all we booked the table for 6:30 twice and they still got the name wrong. No one came over to see if everything was okay with the food. The tables are very sticky. The boy in the Adidas shirt had very poor attitude. When the puddings came out there was barely any custard and the brownie was cold.

Always have a great meal and the staff are always helpful and friendly

The breakfast here is INCREDIBLE. The pancakes are to die for, and fantastic value for money. It might look a bit pricey to begin with, but you won't want to eat for the rest of the day. Love the pastries that are made on site too, but the stars are the proper breakfasts.

Lovely staff. Make you feel so welcome. Food is great, very good value. The Aesthetics are second to none. Satisfying experience as always.

Excellent Xmas lunch. Great choices on menu. Will definitely return. Only issue was a long wait for dessert, but they were extremely busy for a lunchtime.

Food is amazing. Staff are lovely. Keep returning and will continue to

What a great place, excellent food, service was spot on, amazing value.

4 of us just had Sunday lunch and pudding. All lovely and very pleasant and helpful staff

Excellent service, food and great value for money. We had the 2 for 1 offer. Would highly recommend.

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!

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

Lovely food and very good value

Really nice food well priced and found the staff really friendly

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.

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

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!

Perfect for an enjoyable celebration

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Great little village pub, with a big heart.

Very nice well presented and friendly efficient service.
