The Royal Oak at Riley Green in Chorley

Just returned from evening meal with family (7 Oct). 2 of us chose pork platter (special menu) which I anticipated to be a generous offering of pork fillet, sausage roll and black pudding - priced at £22. How disappointing- 2 pieces of mouth size fillets, a third of a sausage roll and a thin splattering of black pudding in the potato Rosti. It tasted nice and was well presented but feel totally ripped off with the meagre offering, I did inform a young waitress of my disappointment and asked her to relay my message to the chef. No apology, no feedback, nothing. We have had numerous family meals over many years and this was clearly sub-standard. The 3 other diners enjoyed their meals to provide balance. Perhaps the management team can consider and respond accordingly?

Food was a let down,, Very nice pub inside and service was good but our sunday roast was poor, hard overcooked potatoes, weird small pancake type of yorkshire pudding ,two small slices of beef, mine was gristly very disappointing and not good enough at nearly 20 pounds a head, won't be going back for a repeat do 'nt know how they can justify the cost of such a poor quality meal.

Absolutely superb! Been here over the years and it never disappoints. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Service is excellent. Food is top notch, you can tell the chefs and Kitchen team put pride into what they do. Great selection of drinks, the wine choice is superb. Always a good selection of ales too. The atmosphere is great, very traditional establishment and it feels very relaxed and homely. Can’t recommend enough! You won’t be disappointed!

Called in to the royal oak for lunch today, my wife and I both had the same thing home made steak and ale pie with chunky chips and gravy.We have been loyal customers for over 20 years and had this meal quite a few times, today was the worst ever over the years we have been going. The pastry on the pie was very hard and dry,it needed all the gravy in the jug to try to soften It the chips were also very dry and far too crisp and not fluffy inside like they used to be, we did eat it but it was the worst meal at what was our favourite go to restaurant, pity that Michael the main man was not around or I would have spoken to him about the downward trend in quality of the meals,last time we were there a couple of months ago we were also disappointed with the food. I am afraid my wife and I will not be returning to our most favourite place for the foreseeable future. Wake up and get your house back in order like it used to be.

Very friendly staff. Food was excellent, didn't have room for a dessert too full! We've been before, hence the return visit. Highly recommended.

From telephone booking a table to leaving the Royal Oak. Absolutely fantastic, every member of staff a credit to the business. Accommodated children, fussy eaters and food intolerant issues and most critical chef and catering and hospitality assistant. Portions were perfect and plates were presented beautifully. I wish I could say clean plates all round but that was down to the guests rather than the food. Will 100% be visiting again! Everything today was faultless thank you for a wonderful meal with fantastic service, you certainly have a business to be proud of!!

Went here as struggling to find a decent local eatery (as some we used to visit have changed hands as not as good any more) and here did not disappoint. The staff were just the right level of attentive and the food was excellent. Cannot fault anything.

Overall the food was good , I had the roast beef which was sirloin , for 19 quid though and only 2 slices was a bit tight for the price and could have been hotter , gravy wasn't that nice either , anyway we had desserts which were good but my sister whom had ice cream was charged 55p for the sauce on it , I mean really guys, it's like charging for ketchup for chips, it's already expensive as it is , it was pretty quiet for a bank holiday and that's probably why , your shafting people , service was brilliant, great waitress , beer was £6.20 a pint and your charging add ons , on top of being expensive, that why it was quiet , the pub in brindle just before we got to you was heaving , couldn't get in, as a chef of 36 years and a hotelier I can with experience tell you to get your prices down before you fall , other than that your great

Quaint little place with a warm welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, he had a lovely duck parfait with onion marmalade and I had mushrooms on sourdough. Portions perfect. Presentation top notch. Then he battled through a hefty but tender steak and kidney pud whilst I opted for a delicious Lancashire cheese and onion pie, carefully crafted with beautiful shortcrust. Slight error in not recieving a menu (hungry as the smells of the food from other tables made us impatient) this was quickly rectified by the attentive manager and without any complaint a complimentary drink was delivered to the table. Highly recommend this little gem. Understandable why it is busy .

Met up with family for meal and catch up. Food was amazing. Had the cheese n onion pie and left a clean plate it was so good. Others had fish pie and steak pudding. All were lovely dishes. Hoping to go back soon.

Our very very favourite restaurant until tonight we have brought friends and family from all over to dine here on our recommendations but todays Sunday roast was not good - hard roast potatoes that it was difficult to cut look warm vegetables a very hard Yorkshire pudding and wafer thin beef - we should’ve stuck to the steak and kidney pudding - this is so sad because we love the place snd food normally but we will think twice before coming back

Excellent service from start to finish we had 3 courses and all were perfect. Called to ask if we could bring our dog and they were very helpful. The Sunday roast was amazing done exactly how I wanted. The staff were great and attentive definitely recommend.

Me and my wife had a fantastic meal at The Royal Oak on Sunday the 21st of January, I enjoyed the delicious steak and kidney pudding while my wife had the beef and ale pie I can’t recall what my friends ate but they enjoyed theirs also! The service was truly top notch, the waitresses and waiter were all lovely, really went out of their way. I’m not too sure on the (manager?) man that was mainly stood at the reception desk as he wasn’t doing much in our opinion anyways other than standing, aside from attempting to make comedic conversation with us (as personally we would rather be left to ourselves). Overall I would highly recommend the Royal Oak and would also highly recommend booking as we did, as it was extremely busy when we visited but I simply must preface this had no impact on our dutiful service from the waitresses.

I absolutely loved the Royal Oak and went with my family. We shared the goujon starter and two of us had the pie which was one of the best meat pies I have ever eaten out. The chips were lovely too. One of us had a vegetarian main and this was also fantastic. We all shared the sticky toffee pudding which would have made the Ritz proud! In addition the wine list was one of the most varied and best I have seen in terms of countries and I do eat out a lot. All the staff were delightful and I loved the ambience too. Very cosy pub serving great food. Well done and thank you to all. Keep up the great work. We will be back.

Just home from another exceptional night at Royal Oak, Riley Green.... Food, atmosphere and attention to detail was amazing. Compliments to the chefs whose food was pure quality, the barmaids / waiting on staff... Just Wonderful, those who served us Emily, Meg, Sophie and Grace you were all so lovely, keep up the hard work and we'll see you all again very very soon.

Called in today for Christmas special menu it was delicious as it always is.We will be back soon. We have been customers for years and it's our go to place.

And tonight was no exception! The bar hangers, who own the place (?) were AWOL! The staff brilliant - good range of choice across drinks, food etc! We shared a salt & pepper starter, companion had the Gressingham chicken me the pork belly special & it was! Couldn't finish our food - £65 with drinks & tip! Excellent!

Really good food in a cosy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will be going back again in the not too distant future.

Awful experience Staff very rude, felt very uncomfortable The food I had was dry and tasteless Will not go there again

Lovely cosy warm pub we both had the pie chicken and ham .. and beef .. both were lovely nicest we've had .. had chips with it although were OK thought home cooked wud have been nice but just me being picky .. staff were excellent.. a lovely find and would definitely return

I have particular preferences when it comes to steak. This place does it to perfection even though it must be pure irritation that I asked. Amazing!

Gave the Royal Oak a try after reading positive reviews. The food was no better than average overall.Four tiny pieces of chewy squid served with guacamole hardly an auspicious start to an evening dinner. Steak and kidney pud, filling good but encased in a dry suet pastry.Small choice of deserts but good quality. Service was good and polite. After finishing the meal at 9.50 pm we decided to have one more drink but was advised the bar was now closed for the night and was presented with the bill. Needless to say a return visit is very unlikely.

We went to the Royal Oak on a Sunday evening, We all had a roast beef dinner, which was excellent, and piping hot. The puddings were exquisite. It was a little more expensive than some places, but well worth it. Emily our waitress was absolutely charming and nothing was too much trouble for her. We will be returning again soon..

8 people + 2 dogs attended for mum’s 70th birthday celebration meal. Nice separate area for us to eat with the dogs. The food was lovely especially the rare roast beef Sunday lunch and the service provided Ella was exceptional. We all thoroughly enjoyed and will return soon.

So glad we are able to eat indoors once again. The oak is a very good place. My wife and I both enjoyed our meals, the beef was mouth watering tender. Staff were excellent as always, special mention to Barry for his kindness. We will be back very soon.

Back to the oak today, first time since November. My wife and I are regulars. The food and the staff are very good hard to beat. We have already booked for the May indoor opening, but we will be back dining outside weather permitting soon.

We ordered a cook at home Valentine's dinner. It was sublime and a very good example of the chef's immense talent, especially when stepping away from the fare that makes up the menu in the pub. The prepped food was excellently packaged and looked fabulous before we cooked it. The instructions were clear and the overall delivery of the box was very nice.The food tasted amazing when we had cooked it. 6 courses for two - £80 for a very high end meal experience at home. Up there with the best. Well done. We hope they do more of these.

It was my mums 60th Birthday the 23rd Jan and there was a party plan, until Covid. So, we thought we would still make some effort and order several starters and mains from Royal Oak and we were not disappointed!!All the food was just as good as it would have been had we been in the restaurant, all hot once we got home and well packaged! Would highly recommend to anyone, and the BBQ Pork Belly was amazing!

Dined here on numerous occasions outside of lockdowns always excellent service and food. First time takeaway of Sunday lunch which was piping hot on collection quality and flavour was as served in restaurant -excellent, highly recommended.

I've just had lunch here and it was delicious! They really care about the food and presentation, and what could've been a simple few scoops of ice cream ended up being a luxury dessert! Friendly service too and a lovely view out the window. Would definitely recommend.

We had our Sunday lunch here recently and everything was perfect. The menu is varied and the specials available are really “special” always including a fish dish. The staff are friendly and attentive and the service is prompt. Advisable to book as it does get busy especially on a SundayThe chef is obviously skilled and produces beautifully presented dishesThe best food in the area

My wife and I enjoyed lunch today at the oak. It was lovely, lhad the lamb rump and my wife had steak and ale pie. We had two glasses of wine and pudding. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we will certainly be back. It is covid safe no problems.

Great menu, 1st class food, exceptional service. Adhering to all requirements for COVID, feels extremely safe. Lovely atmosphere. Very enjoyable occasion. Would definately recommend for either couples, family, friends, and special occasions.

The quality of the food exceeded our expectations and the service was totally excellent. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and it was clear that other diners were enjoying their evening. Elaine and I returned to live in this area after a lifetime of working in different parts of the country. It was exactly 50 years ago that we celebrated our engagement at this very pub, so we thought it was about time we paid it another visit. We promise not to leave it so long next time! Adrian

Just had the greatest Sunday roast 16 hour beef cooked to perfection and I had the beef and ale pie was definitely worth getting staff as always great and welcoming we would definitely recommend to anyone to try here we’ll set out and safe

I ate here tonight with my family for the first time on a recommendation from a friend. The food was what I can only describe as amazing. We all had a starter, main and dessert and every course was perfect. I would really struggle to find any fault with the food we ate.The service was also second to none. We were looked after by a waitress named Jade who is a massive credit to ‘The Royal Oak’. We couldn’t have asked for anybody better to have looked after us during our evening. Jade was very friendly, helpful and made us feel so relaxed. Even our two year old daughter took a liking to her straight away. Thank you Jade.I would definitely recommend ‘The Royal Oak’ to anybody who wishes to eat exceptional food in a lovely setting with great service.Thank you and we will definitely be visiting again!

Nearly 50 years since we used to go there every Saturday we had an away fixture at Hoghton, Feniscowles, Walton-le-Dale, Roe Lee Mills and Salesbury, so it was great to sit out in the beer garden and look at the hills. The staff were very good and we really enjoyed a couple of drinks in the sun.

Found this place whilst out for a drive. Great selection of food to choose from, friendly staff, and large portions. Will be back here again.

Ate here for lunch on 7/8/20 with my husband. I had a chicken and bacon burger with chunky chips and my oh had a steak burger also with chunky chips. Food was delicious and perfectly cooked so no complaints there though a bit of side salad or coleslaw wouldn’t go amiss. We both had a lemonade which was fine. Staff were very friendly and offered a perfect service. Reasonably priced (came to £23). Will visit again.

We ate here with family this week The food was A1 the drinks were quite expensive £5.50 for a Peroni, £9 a glass of wine (we bought 2 bottles it is cheaper that way) the king prawn with chorizo was gorgeous, the fish and chips were one of the best I have had for a long time, it was whiter than white. The young lady who served us (can’t remember her name but she has worked there for 4 years) was very efficient with a nice sense of humour.Would we return?Yes 100% can’t wait

Another very good meal at the oak, last day of the eat out to help out scheme. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely, I had blade of beef and my wife had the shoulder of lamb both were cooked to perfection. Panna cotta for desert two large glasses of shiraz and coffee. Staff were very welcoming and professional. This is a very good restaurant one of the most popular and consistent places in East Lancashire. We will be back soon.

My first meal out in months, went for lunch the staff where helpful, courteous, and very professional. Had a fabulous meal cheese & onion pie with chargrilled cabbage and new potatoes, my partner had bacon chop with a duck egg, black pudding, pineapple, and thick cut chips. The food was freshly made and delicious my compliments to the chef, cannot wait to return social distances was brilliantly adhered too making it a thoroughly enjoyable lunch thank you.

We've been visiting The Royal Oak for several years and it never fails to please. The staff are always friendly and the food is simply amazing. If it is on the menu please try the panna cotta for desert. It is truly scrumptious!

Good place to go, wouldn’t rush back. Meals okay and service okay. Quite local so just went for some food to pick at

This place Never fails to deliver and I am shocked that I have never given it a review before! Maybe after eating in so many bad places I now appreciate it! We are fairly regular here and love it even more after the refurb last year. We went on the eat out to help out last week and the covid awareness is excellent, even if it felt a little strange. The food is always on point and service always professional. We can’t wait to enjoy many more meals here and wish we lived in walking distance!!

Fantastic venue. Beautiful pub with amazing food and great service! The Sunday Roasg was a braised beef steak and it was succulent and tasty. The Panacotta was also stunning. Could not recommend enough! Genuinely fab visit.

This is such a great place to visit. It is consistently excellent and the chef clearly takes such pride in what he does and with all the food - this doesn’t go unnoticed. The desserts, for example, are fantastic here - a cut above many places. This pub/restaurant provides excellent food in a cosy, non-pretentious environment. We’ve been here many times over the years and will continue to do so. It also feels very safe to dine here, given the current situation with Covid-19. Thank you for bringing us such excellent food in a lovely, clean and inviting environment.

This was the first time we have visited a restaurant for food since the 'new normal' and what a pleasant experience. The guidance was clear, staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly and and the food was top notch. Thank you for a lovely meal.

The food is cooked to order, excellent range on the menu to suit every ones pallet. The menu has all the traditional favorite's cooked full of taste, we will certainly be visiting again, even after the 'Eat Out to Help Out' has finished.Other customers were making future reservations which was really nice to see.The staff gave excellent service and were prompt and polite.

Meal was excellent but what topped it for was the excellent service from I think called ,Leoni no doubt I spelt it wrong, but she is worth her weight in gold. Just natural. Anyway we will be back, thanks for a great meal.

Another faultless afternoon at The Royal Oak. Food, service & staff were superb & the Covid protocols worked very well. Many thanks.

We stopped here after reading great reviews. We were greeted by the loveliest friendly young lady on arrival . We felt very comfortable from the word go.The pub was spotlessly clean and the staff were so covid friendly..The staff were so attentive especially the young man who served us as we has a conversation about camping. Sorry I didn’t get your names. The food was great and well presented. I think it’s got to be one of the cleanest pubs I’ve ever been in. We will defo go back here and would recommend it to you shall.

Back to the oak after the lockdown. It was delicious, both my wife and I enjoyed it very much, I had the roast beef lunch which was a lovely chunk of beef and all the trimmings, my wife had the goosner chicken. It was very nice. We will be back soon, and for the August special government scheme.

First night out in ages it was so great to be finally out felt so relaxed couldn’t ask for better service and organised the food was fantastic and the service from all the staff was fantastic especially Shannon we both loved it.

Food is average with very good home made chips. The staff are very attentive and all round good service

We just love this pub. A beautiful building inside full of character. The service is fantastic, we are always greeted with a smile and conversation. The food is just fantastic too, we have been a few times for lunch and dinner and we have never been disappointed. We are so lucky to have this place literally on our doorstep, can’t wait for it to reopen.

We ordered Sunday Roast for 2 for take out and we weren't disappointed it was delicious. The beef was so tender it just broke up as soon as you touched it, the vegetables were cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend 110% and we will definitely be ordering take out again and visiting with family as soon as they are open and allowing eat in. Brilliant Service.

My girlfriend and I have visited The Royal Oak quite a few times and have never been unsatisfied. I was particularly fond of a curried lamb pudding, (I hope they see this and bring it back) It's a cosy place with friendly staff and the food is always good, as long as it's there, I'll keep going.

We arrived at the pub at around 7 o’clock on a Wednesday night. A few tables were taken but the restaurant as a whole was pretty quiet. We were told by the RUDE manager that we would have to wait 20 minutes for a table. We decided to wait after rave reviews of family and friends so we got a drink in the bar. My husband then asked for some for menus to look over as we were waiting, which was refused by the manager who stated the menus were for the 7:15 reservations, however just 1 table of 4 came in at this time ! After 20 minutes the manager took us to our table (which was free when we arrived earlier ?!). After another 20 minutes of waiting the waitress took our order.... 10 minutes after this the table behind ordered too. To our surprise the table behind (that had ordered the exact same meals) received their food before us! We had to wait an additional 10 minutes for our food to arrive, which was okay but nothing to shout about. We were then asked if we’d like to look at the dessert menu which we accepted, after 15 minutes of waiting for them to come I had to ask the manager for them !! Very poor all round from all the staff ! Unimpressed with the dissatisfying service and will NOT RETURN.

Needn’t say any more- fantastic as always ambiance - staff and service - food quality -.so welcoming on a stormy night

We last visited at the beginning of December, the food was so good we decided to return this week. We booked a table in the bar area on Monday evening. The fire was welcoming, the pub was fairly busy. We ordered fish goujons as a nibble, cheese and onion pie and steak pie. All food was served in good time by friendly staff and was very good too. Recommended.

Visited here yesterday having searched Trip Advisor for a quality eating establishment. We were not disappointed. The place had a lovely ambience, the staff were polite and attentive and the food was great. We loved it and will visit again. Highly recommended!

Just can’t fault this pub, it’s cosy atmospheric and always delicious food. I have just nominated it for best pub award. Never had a poor experience and they truly deserve all the good revues

We haven't been to this pub for years since a very disppointing meal, so thought we'd try it mid-week. Impressed when we walked in but it was quiet at first except for a group of ladies who spoil the place with very loud cackling, unbelievable. I had a steak pudding and "real" chips which seemed straight out of the freezer and the suet pudding was very dry thought the waitress did ask if I wanted anything else, should have asked for some gravy, partner seemed stisfied with her Burger though.

We have been regular customers at the Royal Oak over the years & always had good service and meals . . . until yesterday (Tuesday) lunchtime. You expect three things when you enter a restaurant: to be given a table, a menu & offered drinks. So we were given a table in full sight of the lady in charge and were then ignored for ten minutes, at which point we got up and left. As we left, the lady offered the excuse that there was a problem with the gas in the kitchen. We couldn`t see how this affected the offer of menus and drinks.

Birthday meal at the oak today. My wife and I and our two nieces with their husbands all the food and drink was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful, it was very busy but service was excellent. We will be back soon.

1st time here, went with close friends who have been before and praised it, I found the pub to be excellent, the service was excellent cleanliness excellent, atmosphere excellent, food we had was excellent and I mean excellent, wife had gammon I had beef pie, that pie was a pie to shout about, this pub serves excellent pub food, prices I feel could be perceived as being high but when you get quality as we got then I don’t mind paying what I paid, I will be returning, if you have not been here try it you won’t be sorry. Thank you for an enjoyable meal

Opted for starters for our main meal..mushroom on brioch poached egg parmeson and pesto cooked to perfection..crispy tomato chilli garlic bread was spot on cod goujons again crispy cooked perfectly great service only downfall pricey drinks double jd n coke at £10.00

Lovely quaint olde worlde place. Had a lovely spacious table. I had C & 0 Pie, hubbie had Beef Pie - both excellent. So well presented too. Unfortunately I was too full to sample desert. Hubbie had creme brule. He thoroughly enjoyed. Dont think menu choice is extensive but personally feel better to have less choice and good food. Certainly ticked all the boxes for us.

Nice country pub with really well done food. The staff are friendly, the food is always top notch & the specials menu is always changing for those that like a variety now and again. The Royal Oak is also dog friendly which is a thumbs up from us!

12 of us had Lunch there lastThursday and both the Christmas menu and the a la carte were available. Everyone was very pleased with both the Quality and the friendly Service. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to anyone.

Delicious meal this afternoon, my wife and both had the Christmas from the specials board it was beautifully presented and very tasty. We chose the turkey but this was not just a turkey dinner it was Christmas Dinner on steroids fantastic, turkey wrapped in a lovely salty parma ham, potato fondant cooked perfectly baby vegetables, parsnips creamed sprouts, chestnuts pigs in blankets stuffing and a lovely rich jue. A nice large shiraz followed by a fab creme brulle with ice-cream and shortbread. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the oak is a very good quality restaurant with a very good chef and kitchen hands in fact I think they are not far from a two rosette ranking. My wife and I have dined a lot in different one rosette restaurants and in our opinion the oak is above them in every way.

7 members of our club have just had the best Christmas lunch ever!! Instead of the usual turkey dinner we were presented with Roll of turkey wrapped in Palmer ham, and sausages, with fondant potatoes, chestnuts, succulent parsnips and deliciously creamy Brussels sprouts. This was followed by a deliciously creamy creme brulee with char grilled clementines and a rum syrup ice cream, the whole meal was absolutely delicious and we voted it the best meal of the year!!

Called in here for lunch after a recommendation and ordered turkey off the Christmas menu. It arrived and looked like something off master chef, beautifully presented and it tasted wonderful. The addition of roasted chestnuts made it extra special, a definite treat which we followed up with desserts, I had the creme brûlée from the Christmas menu and my husband had the panna cotta, both of which were delicious. We will certainly be back.

There are few places where I’d rather eat out. The food is exemplary and the wonderfully ancient interior has survived its recent gentle refurb. Everything that is good about dining out in England is here.

Limited choice of dishes although the food is of good quality. Unfortunately the seafood pizza has been removed from the menu. Most dishes are overpriced especially the specials. The drinks are also overpriced with some being more expensive than in the Manchester city centre pubs.

It must be 25 years since I was in the Oak, I came across it looking for a different pub.

Went to the Royal Oak for lunch with a friend yesterday (6/12/19). As soon as we walked in the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing; the fires were lit, which added to the ambiance. As for the food! The food was ‘exceptional’! We both had the turkey dinner. Both presentation and taste...wow! The staff were really friendly and not pushy. I would highly recommend eating here.

Such a great place to get your Sunday lunch we love it here the food was outstanding for taste and quality and such friendly staff and the choices of drinks is fantastic not many places we would recommend so highly but this is the best

Wow what can I say....... the pizza.......the steak and ale........ gosh just thinking about it makes me want go home and slap my mother for having the audacity to have called her meals for me food!!! And the dessert...... oh my..... BEST STICKY TOFFEE EVER!!! Service was good and staff were really friendly and professional...... really impressed!! So much so I thought it deserved a mention.

Very good service and excellent food well work a visit. Very clean place and the fish was lovely, very pleasant staff would go again.

Recently visited and had probably the best roast beef Sunday lunch this year. Hard to fault really and combined with efficient friendly service it made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

My wife and had been before to this well organised and nicely furnished Pub on the outskirts of Blackburn. But this was a visit without booking. Good car parking . As soon as we stepped in side we are greeted by a friendly receptionist and found a table for two and left a menu. We ordered a drink - an excellent Merlot and a pint of the local beer Thwaites Bitter. My wife ordered Steak and Ale Pie with Red Cabbage and French Fries with a small jug of gravy - one of the best pies with good pastry and full of rich tasting Steak and Ale. I ordered a bowl of Mushroom Soup with Truffle Oil - a good sized bowl with soup which was so smooth and tasty. Then I followed the soup with a starter size portion of a menu "special" - Harrissa Spiced King Prawns with Red Lentil Daal and cinnamon flat bread - it was just delicious full of of the lightly spiced flavour . We just had room left to share a pudding - one of the best ever Vanilla Creme Brulee with fresh Raspberries and a scoop of Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream. The cost of all our food and drink was just £42-15p which we thought was excellent value and our very friendly waitress received a well deserved tip. We will certainly be going again.

We had an enjoyable evening at this traditional style pub, with good food, in pleasant surroundings with attentive staff.

Friendly staff. Belly pork main course was delicious and the dessert one of the nicest I’ve ever had! A varied menu and a few specials too. A great place to eat.

Visited today with family, very very busy I would definitely advise you to book. Lots of staff available to serve you drinks and food. Very nice layout your not all on top of each other. Very clean. Good choice of starters, mains and sweets on the menu and specials board far to many to mention. Excellent variety of cold and hot drinks. 2 good size car parks one on the front at the side the other at the back of the pub. The only thing was the lighting was very low/dim, it didn't affect me but my father in law is partial sighted and he struggled but wouldn't let me say anything as he doesn't like a fuss. I would definitely go back.

We went for lunch yesterday for a 92nd birthday treat for my Mum, and it was lovely. The food is beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. No corners cut, each dish had all the perfect accompaniments. I had the cod with garlic and prawn sauce which came with a mixture of green vegetables, not too much or too little. The other two meals looked lovely, steak and ale pie, and steak and kidney pudding. I had a couple of chips from one of them which weren’t flabby or greasy, just right. The desserts were fantastic. Creme brûlée had poached plums, ice cream and mango coulis, and my Mum’s passion fruit pannacotta had ice cream and honeycomb. The service was friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere cosy and comfortable. We’ll be back I hope.

Popped in last night with my brother and my dad. Superb staff attention and friendliness from the start. Ordered a very good bitter called gold. The food was, as it always is there, excellent. A little on a pricy side perhaps? but I think that’s what you pay to sit in a nice warm pub with great staff and outstanding fresh food. My lamb shank was dreamy. Been going for years in its various guises but these guys are nailing it. Long may it continue. A special mention to our waitress, who was funny and charming, but took extra care and patience with my dad who is 86 and when the world is spinning a little too fast for him these days, little things like that go a long way. Thanks x

Went for Sunday lunch and as it was late in the day we quickly ordered Sunday lunch and drinks all on a tab. We got our meals which were roast beef Sunday dinner. Usual Sunday roast ....rare beef 2 slices roast potatoes, broccoli, parsnips and cauliflower. Standard roast dinner but for £14.95 was over priced for a pub meal. I had a 250ml (large) glass of Pinot grigio £7.95!! A bit steep, I would say more restaurant prices but in a pub. I wouldn't visit again as prices too high, other local pubs with food just as good for less £

Really enjoyed lunch at the Royal Oak. Had meals at various establishments and been very disappointed, had come to the conclusion it was better to stay at home!! However, we thoroughly enjoyed the eating experience at the Royal Oak, loved the ambience, the welcoming and attentive staff and the quality of the food chosen from a superb menu. Worth paying the extra few pounds for good quality food.

Four of us visited the Royal Oak after a sad family event, for a lunch together. We were given a warm welcome and sat at a lovely table in the window. The food was delicious and two of us had the fresh cod special, the other two ate off the menu. All the food was very well prepared and served piping hot. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. The two ladies who served us were very pleasant and efficient. We have eaten here before and will again. Thank you for making a sad day much better.

We chose this pub based on TripAdvisor reviews and it worked out well for us. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was busy and had a good ambience.

My wife and I both enjoyed the meal at the oak. We are now regulars because of the food consistency. It is always a good quality and the service is excellent. It is a pleasure to go back to the oak and we will be back soon.

Disappointing service last Saturday here. We walked into the bar to order and there was a female behind the bar drying glasses, she saw us but did not move to serve us. I had to approach her to ask for the menu. We then went back to the bar to order the food. This time it was another staff member, in all honesty she looked like she didn't care whether she served us or not. Quite a surly unapproachable attitude, made us feel like she was doing us a favour. The food was ok but vastly overpriced for what we had, certainly not worth it. Customers will not return if the staff do not up their game.

Visited on Saturday 14th September a table of 10 for a friend's birthday. Absolutely amazing food as always. Everyone on the table enjoyed the food. Will definitely be back soon. Service was brilliant from everyone.

Visited on a Monday, food not to same standard as believe owner/chef has got another restaurant. The staff were slow in taking order and removing plates, girl passed our table twice after delivering food to another table,.young man from bar brought drinks to a near by table did not ask if we wanted more or did not remove plates. Mains were removed but not asked did we want a sweet, we had to catch her attention, we chose our sweets and waited and waited. In the end we got up and paid, our dinning experiance was not good as a child of about 3 was leading an Australian Ridgeback ( for readers who do not know this is a big dog its head is table height) no control and was around when eating. Getting in the way of serving staff Mother kept telling her but child paid no attention , they then took lead off her she then started screaming loudly so they gave her the lead back.

Yesterday evening my boyfriends family and I visited the Royal Oak (we had booked in advance) for a birthday meal.

We have eaten here several times, our friends who we were with on Saturday evening, had even been for lunch on the Tuesday as the food is so good and the specials menu is as good as any restaurant and in many cases better. Two of us had one of the fish specials, Hake and the other two of us rib eye steak which was cooked perfectly followed by a lovely creme brulee. Recommend you book in advance so as not to be disappointed.

Called in as passing. Nice setting. Ordered Hake off specials board was very tasty. Hubby had fish and chips he said good also. Will definitely go again.soon.

Been to this place many times and it is always good. The choice of food and how it tastes is great. Get there early as it is very popular
