The Royal Oak Inn in High Peak

Great little hidden gem. Came in for a couple of pints whilst out walking. Nice fire going, staff are always welcoming and friendly and seem to genuinely want to actually be at work. Relaxed atmosphere. However, even some of the staff commented on the music was a little depressing lol. Also have to mention the dog treats on the dog were great … didn’t last long though . We have eaten here in the past, it’s well worth a visit We will be back.

Cosy traditional British pub. Staff were lovely and the food was very good. Inside it was beautifully decorated which made it very quaint and cosy.

Horrible fat loaden chips, what's happened to this place ????. Perhaps this pub has changed hands as it really was a great place to eat a few years ago. Gone now sadly!

The food was excellent, large portions & really tasty. They offer a good range of gluten free options, which the staff were knowledgeable about, making me feel comfortable eating there.

We booked on line for a late lunch, excellent menu with loads of choice. We went for the steak pie and chicken burger, they were both delicious. It is one of the best pies that I have had, loads of steak and gravy with lovey chips. The service was brilliant, lovely staff and we were made to feel so welcome.

This used to be the place to go around the Buxton area but it seems to have changed from when we last went a few years ago. Not only do the prices seem to have shot up but the food quality isn't what it once was, the lasagne i had was totally bland and chips were soggy and full of cooking fat. We will try again in a few months hoping it was a one off.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was beautiful, well presented. We were able to take our dogs in with us which was a bonus. Highly recommend and would return.

Came here with a group of 15, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Very impressed with how the staff were on it, professional and efficient despite it being a very busy Sunday roast service! The food was delicious, beyond expectations! I had the Cajun open sourdough sandwich - highly recommend! Most of the group had lamb roasts and clean plates all round! We sat outside for a drink afterwards in the beer garden in lovely well maintained surroundings, very impressed and will definitely be back! Thank you

Superb as always, had the special ‘sloppy joe burger’ which was amazing, followed by banoffee pie which was to die for……. We will be back!

We had a very enjoyable meal here in Hurdlow, Buxton. The food was good, the staff were helpful and the atmosphere was fine.

After reading the reviews, we were looking forward to a lovely meal during out stay here. Unfortunately, the standard of the food we were given was not great. Both of us had a pie; one veggie and one beef. The butternut squash was almost non existent in the veggie pie, despite it being advertised as a butternut and feta pie. Our chips were possibly among the worst I've had at what seems like it should be a decent gastro pub. It completely put me off even trying a dessert. Service was friendly enough, although they clearly wanted the table back quickly given the speed they served. I don't particularly like feeling rushed to eat my food. All in all, quite a disappointment.

We were recommended this Establishment by the Host of the Accommodation where we staying for a Week's Vacation. Having Booked a Table for 4 we were pleasantly greeted by a Jovial Waitress & shown to our Table. We ordered a selection of Meals from the Menu & was told that the Lambs Liver would be served on the Pink Side. My Sirloin Steak, I requested for it be cooked Medium Rare/more on the Rare Side. The meals arrived & unfortunately my Steak was Medium to well done, my College's Lamb was also well done. We asked the waitress if we could speak to the Owner. He was most apologetic, my Steak was removed my College decided to persevere with the Liver Dish. The owner stated that at the end of the Meal that a Settlement/Refund would be made. Unfortunately by the time my Replacement Steak arrived my other 3 Colleges had finished their Meals. Two of us ordered Desserts that were Scrumptious. On completion of the Meal we was told to go to the Bar were the Bill would be presented. On receipt there was no Refund & asking to see the Owner once again we were told that He was taking His Dog for a Walk. We waited for Him to Return but the Waitress having spoken to Him asked if we would accept the Cost of the 2 Deserts being Deleted from our Bill. We duly accepted but on Hindsight I don't think it reflected our Experience of the Evg. To compound Matters we were all unaware that there were Specials, that were only advertised on a Wall Mounted Black Board adjacent the Bar. I know on my Part I would have had the Lamb Rump in lieu of the Steak & my Wife would have had the Sea Bass in lieu of the Pork Belly.

About 5 years ago we ate here and we gave it 5 star . This time whilst the food was just as good , the difference being a much smaller chose of menu and we found the new local ales on sale were not the best

I found the Royal Oak online and am so pleased I chose to make a booking. Everything was amazing, we were a little early for our table but still received a warm welcome and the service remained just as friendly throughout. The quality of the food was excellent, you could tell it was all freshly made and the lamb and rosemary pie was one of the best I’ve ever eaten, the filling was to die for! If only this was my local I would be visiting every week. Highly recommend!

Very busy, but we were quickly shown to a table. Service was friendly and attentive. Ordered Lamb and Rosemary pie with mash - this was one of the best pies ever! No skimping on the fillings and just an absolutely great tasting pie. The Oak Burger with dirty fries was also a big hit, along with veggie lasagne and flat iron steak. All generous portions and top quality produce. An absolute must if in the area.

Brilliant pub grub, all homemade and delicious. Lots of meat in the pie & homemade crust, homemade proper chips, homemade burgers. Good homemade desserts. Great ales. Superb service. Highly recommended.

Went for Sunday lunch there are no other words than amazing, we had the cote de boeuf platter for 2 if you go and this is on the specials it is a must also the staff are fantastic.

We visited for dinner with family (including our 2 yo granddaughter). A lovely pub in a country location with nice views. We had a great time. Food, beer and service were fantastic. Good portions at very reasonable prices. Everything was good and the lamb pie,...

Used to be a great place to eat but I feel it has really gone downhill. Limited options for vegetarian customers. Food overcooked, service lacking. Its a shame as it used to be our place to go for a treat.

Visited as a group of six (plus dog!) for a family meal. Our table was right next to the fire which was a nice touch and made for a very homely welcome. The food was delicious across the board - we all finished our meals!...

Visited the Royal Oak after a 4 year previous visit. The wife had fish & chips and I had the steak and Stilton pie. The pie was good but the chips and fish batter were cooked in what I suspect to be old cooking oil....

What a massive disappointment. This pub has so much potential, it’s busy yet cosy in a great location and with friendly staff! Unfortunately, the food is microwave ready-meal standard. The manager mentioned last night how they’re increasingly busy and this is obvious in the end...

Really good, home cooked food. We are a tough family to please but The Royal Oak managed it very well. Food was excellent and tasted like someone knew what they were doing in the kitchen. Usually when we see ‘all day food’ advertised we run...

We've visited here a few times now and it doesn't disappoint. On entrance you are greeted courteously and shown to your seating. Table service for drinks and food is available and often we are accommodated at late notice. Clearly a busy place that has a...

Been here 3 times now. Twice the food was perfect, and once, the vegetables weren't cooked and still weren't cooked after we got the second attempt.... and I mean totally not cooked at all, I am assuming this was just a "blip" as perfect other...

During our 4 day stay in the peaks (Monyash) we ate at the Royal Oak twice after it was recommended to us by our host. It was really the only pub around and we were hoping it would be worth the mile walk! Luckily, it...

Great friendly welcoming staff. Smoked haddock chowder was a glutinous, tasteless cold mess with two nearly raw lumps of haddock on top. My partners steak had very little flavour and £3.50 for a bottled Jack Daniels sauce is very entrepreneurial. Great pub, but come on...

My partner and I visited the Royal Oak after walking the Monsal Dale trail. It is a cosy space and we were nice and warm sat near the fire with our dog. I had the curry and my partner had the lamb and rosemary pie,...

Extremely good good and service here. The buffalo wings were very good I would totally recommend this pub for an evening meal

On the way to Bakewell you stumble upon this fantastic restaurant…we hadn’t booked,but chanced our arm and asked if they could fit us in,so glad we did. Now a Sunday lunch,you could expect it to be busy,and it was,but a really pleasant guy behind the...

Stayed here for a long weekend in August. Campsite beautiful, great facilities and friendly staff. Booked for dinner here too - was fab! Would recommend. We also visited the sister pub, The Bulls Head after a short walk which was great too.

We had to book. Super busy. Very efficient. Solid food and service. Kids were very pleased with their menu options. Adults had lasagne which was a bit disappointing but still good. Red wines by the glass a bit limited. But overall we really enjoyed our...

Thus is a very popular place and booking is recommended. The service was very efficient and attentive, order taken quickly and drinks arrived with 5 minutes. The menu was extensive with plenty of choices. The atmosphere was great. Burger we ordered was OK but the...

We didnt book but lucky we got a table was busy but very organised we didnt have 2 wait long 4 are drinks or food was soooooo nice best meal we’d have all holiday

Very good food and friendly service. Attractive interior - the whole place has been thoughtfully planned and executed. The chips, in particular, were first class! If we're back in the area it would be lovely to try the breakfast served at weekends. I'm not very...

Visited here with family, and ordered from the Sunday menu. The beef Sunday roast was lovely, good size & great value for money. I would highly recommend.

OMG this place knows how to feed people!! Meals are not only massive but extra delicious too. We’re not going to need any breakfast tomorrow!! The staff were very attentive without being intrusive. Decor is lovely, a very relaxing atmosphere for couples and families alike....

excellent service at the Royal Oak, lovely roast meal & dessert. Service very attentive and genuine, I hope to visit again very soon

Been here before nove little pub out of town, went other day had steak and ale pie and my wife had fish and chips. Was lovely and warming. Worth a visit folks!

We ate there twice this week while on holiday in the Peak District. The food was great and the service and ambience good. We particularly enjoyed the tapas and followed our meal with a wonderful espresso martini. Definitely the best place to eat in the...

Dropped in for a bite to eat as this place never disappoints but today it did. On arrival we were told they were not taking food orders for 45mins. Was this down to over subscription or understaffed either way it was a take it or...

Fantastic pub with excellent food and service! Really enjoyed our visit here and we’ll definitely be going back. Great deserts, make sure you save room to give them a try.

The Royal Oak Inn is one of the best Pubs we have ever dined at. The hosts for our final meal on this vacation and we couldn't have chosen a better establishment. A true fond farewell!

Pleasant atmosphere and location is the best we can say about our visit. Lamb roast dinner - dauphinoise potatoes were hard, roast potatoes were hard, food was bland and lukewarm so 3 of the 4 of us left half of it. Bakewell Tart and Custard...

I had the pork belly and the wife had vegan lasagna (she’s not vegan but liked the look of it). Both of ours meals were delicious with plenty of it. Service excellent and a good choose of beers etc.

As always, the food was lovely, the staff were lovely and it was so lovely and warm... Fantastic overall...

We walked into the entrance and asked if the pub was dog friendly to which the lady replied, “if they’re well behaved, yes”. We then asked if they had a table for three for food. “No, not really”, was the response. The lady we interacted with was very rude and short, which was not welcoming at all. We were disappointed as we’d heard good things about the food, but the staff member we spoke with was very rude.

Omg just come away from this place fully stuffed! The food is amazing ,the portions are huge. Staff are very friendly. A very cosy pub especially the tables near the open fire. Cannot wait to return.

Came here for a special occasion with my mother. On a cold, dark wintery weekday, the pub was almost full with diners which was a good sign. We were not disappointed. We both had the game pie which was superb. Massive portion, HOMEMADE, with lots of tasty meat and a suet crust...great atmoshphere.

Don’t waste your money. Everything was reheated / microwaved - nuked to the point where we had to sit 5 mins and wait to cool before we could eat. Even the brioche bun the chicken burger concoction sat in was burnt ! Just poor. Disappointing because I’d read the reviews and the pics look good on website. Would go in for a drink if on the area but would not eat here. £100 for three of us - and we didn’t have dessert - don’t mind paying if the food is good. Overcooked, overpriced, overrated.

Very good pub food and efficient, friendly service. Reasonable value for money but a little expensive overall.

The vegan lasagne was delicious! It had lovely rich tomato sauce and plenty of cheese and bechemal. The chips were really something special too and nice fresh salad. Really cosy atmosphere and the staff were all friendly

Visited The Royal Inn nr Buxton today. The food was exquisite, lovely surroundings ,very nice staff . Plenty of choice on the menu/specials board and a lovely fire which was very welcoming. Shall definitely return.

My family love the food, staff are friendly and great atmosphere. We were very impress with the extensive menu, price and portions size Ideal for dogs owners as they are allowed to sit anywhere in the pub.

Ate here one evening in October as we were staying in Buxton for 1 night. Gorgeous, well cooked food. Very friendly staff. Free parking. Beautiful location

Went here for lunch during our holiday in the Peak District- it’s one of the few pubs in the area that are open on Mondays and consequently was pretty busy. However, we were soon shown to a lovely table for two with our dog being welcome too. We thought the service might be a bit slow as it looked so busy but were pleasantly surprised. The food was exceptional and the staff were friendly and the service quick. Everything was freshly cooked, homemade and delicious! Would definitely recommend and return! Probably the best posh (sea bass) fish and chips I’ve ever had - as good as Heston Blumenthal’s!!Thanks for a great meal.

Had a fab meal here last weekend. Starters, mains and a shared pud could not be faulted. The pub is welcoming and cosy and the service spot on. A great find thanks to trip advisor reviews!

Booked the bunk barn for a one night stop over. Good accommodation, great price. Staff were very helpful, called ahead to advise we would get there later than planned. Wasn’t an issue and staff sorted it for us. Facilities were clean, well lit and easy to access from the room. Lovely view to wake up too as well. You can hear other guests talking and moving about, if you’re a light sleeper or not an early riser pack some earbuds.

We arrived a little early for our booking so was asked to get a drink from the bar and someone would bring a menu out … 20 mins later and still no sign of a menu so fetched one myself. For the next 20 mins we had 3 different waitresses walk past us to serve the table next to us and not once asked if we would like to order. After 30 mins of waiting we left! So disappointed as this was a special occasion for us while away on our holiday.

A fantastic pub for food and drink - battered haddock with proper chips for both me and Mrs C and you couldnt fault it. Never disappoints - i want to try a pie but not Beef & Stilton so will keep trying the menu

Booooom waht an awesome meal myself and the wifey had last night. Re booked again for next night. Highly recommend here if you are staying local. My choice was the lamb cutlets with greek salad and it was awesome

Had a great meal here and was really impressed with the food and value. Nice staff too so defo worth a visit. I’m booking again!!!

We’ve been eating at The Royal Oak for many years and have always enjoyed the food, beer and service there and appreciated it’s good value for money. It has recently changed hands but we still felt that the standards built up over many years would be maintained. Unfortunately not! The beer was good, but service was not sharp and they seemed more interested in talking to each other than to we customers. The menu options have been reduced with a number of favourites removed. We ordered the seafood sharing platter which was good, but the bread indifferent. Our mains were both disappointing. My lambs liver was not as good as it usually is, and my wife’ pork 3 ways sounded better on paper than it was i reality! She’d asked for no gravy but that request was not met and intimately she left a lot of the meal. We told a more mature lady, who I assume was in charge, but she basically blamed us and said we should have told them when the meal was presented. No attempt was made to mitigate our complaint by a free coffee or something similar, so no tip was left. We drive out from Buxton especially in the past to go here, but we won’t in future and seeing how quiet it was looks like others are voting with their feet. Real shame that a great good value restaurant has list us as customers

We had been trying to book a table here for weeks, however we finally got lucky and had an enjoyable experience. There's a good variety of options of food and drink that is reasonably priced. I had the tempura vegetables which I would recommend, as well as the lamb shank which was only a special. I would certainly come back again, there are many dishes on the menu I would love to try.

The beer was good, and the hospitality was friendly, we had a good evening meal – but I felt that the accommodation could be a better quality. I would visit again however.

For a Monday night it was pretty busy. Service was impeccable. Huge choice of food from Tapas the nibbles s specialBoard & all the items on the menu. We all chose different main courses. We all agreed it was perfect. Didn’t use the facilities. Covid rules in situ. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Really nice bnb in the heart of settle. Breakfast had so many choices and was delicious! Staff were so friendly and accommodating, even giving my friend a bag of rice for her water damaged phone. Had a great stay, thanks a lot!

Didn't realise that was out of Buxton but not a problem although £20 each way taxi fare more than expected. The food was amazing more than made up for the journey. Obviously their reputation is well deserved as in the middle of nowhere and phone ringing continuously for reservations all to be told fully booked. Luckily we booked in advance which I recommend to do

Beautiful setting. Service with a smile & sense of humour, food to die for & washed down with top Spanish Lager... will be back soon!!!

We ate at the Royal Oak with family on a Saturday lunchtime and sat in the heated marquee in the garden. We only had mains which included pie of the day, BBQ chicken melt, posh fish & chips and butternut squash curry - all of which were homecooked and went down well! The bill came to around £100 for 5 adults and included 5 drinks and coffees.We would happily return.

Lovely surroundings and great staff on top of gorgeous food. Nothing to dislike about this charming bistro pub. Great to get back to some fine dining.

We visited for drinks at 5pm a couple of days after the 12/4 relaxation allowing pubs to serve outside. We had no reservation but were shown to the only available table which we were told we could have for an hour. We were seated in a tented structure with patio heaters which I assume has been constructed specifically for the period until pubs can serve inside again. It was our first pub visit for over 5 months and I was delighted to see 3 real ales on offer, with pump clips displayed to show what they had. Chill out background music added to the early evening buzz and it was a highly enjoyable reminder of what we’d been missing. There were plenty of efficient waiting staff and food served looked good. If I had to select a first post-lockdown pub visit it would look just like this. The pub in Monyash had a sign in the window saying they weren’t opening until 17 May and though I don’t know their circumstances, I guess outdoor table service is just too much hassle for some. Top marks to those businesses prepared to invest and embrace the changed circumstances as best they can. This is one, they should be congratulated and supported.

So like most people in our village, we are trying to support our local businesses in our village.We have had take out Fish and Chips tonight, and I want to give them 10 out of 10.To order is very easy and we collected from venue and they were on time.Piping hot and delicious.Please support your local business

Lovely pub on the outskirts of Buxton. Staff were friendly and service was quick and efficient. The food was delicious and a good selection. Obviously a popular place and we will be back!

Faultless meal and service. Everything was excellent - there was a large selection of food on offer, staff were extremely friendly, food arrived quickly and was delicious. I haven't had a meal that good in a long time. If only we were staying in the area longer, I would have visited every night for a week!

Food was so delicious. Staff were lovely. It felt very welcoming. Would definitely return if in the area again

This was a spontaneous visit at about 3pm after a walk had taken longer than we expected. We thought we’d struggle to find somewhere that served food at this time but we were able to get a table and the pub was pleasantly busy. The food was amazing!! I had pig medley (pork & Stilton sausage, pork belly and black pudding) and Bakewell tart. Both were cooked so well. Staff were really friendly, especially to our young daughters. The highlight was the roaring coal fire in the background. It was exactly the atmosphere we wanted to warm up, play games and enjoy great food. We’d be back in a heartbeat if we were local but we will have to wait until our next trip to the peaks.

Ate here twice this month - On both occasions the food and ambience was excellent. The pub itself has several eating areas, which is nice, and adds a 'cosy' feel to it. The service is prompt and friendly, and waiting times are good - even when busy. The menu is extensive, and does seem to change a little week on week from what I saw! My only comment to the owners if you read tis!) is that there did seem to be a lot of melty cheese dishes and also the starters seemed a little limited compared to the main menu; That being said, the food was terrific. The lasagne was ordered both times! We also found the dessert menu to be quite pricey, although looking at the portions, I could probably do 2!I'd recommend this as a decent pub to stop at in the peaks. It also has a camping barn and campsite. The campsite was too wet for us to stop in, but the barn was excellent - fresh clean linen and an 8 bedroom bunk room for just 2 of us, which was nice given the tricky times we are in!

Good menu selection, delicious food, quick service and friendly staff! Couldn't fault it, thank you for a lovely meal. It was a brilliant ending to a fantastic weekend.

What can I say? Just finished our burgers - the Oak and the Garden burgers - and as I sit recovering from eating too quickly I felt the need to get straight on here to review. Ordered for collection, ready in 20 minutes, food was fantastic, just the right portion size, two of the best burgers we’ve ever eaten. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. I’m sure eating in is just as great!

We booked after seeing the good reviews. Unfortunately our experience was not positive. First of all we were placed on a table by an open window and the cold air blowing in was like being in a wind tunnel and two of our party kept their coats on. When asked we were told that they had to keep the window open due to covid but did not suggest we could move, On reflection we should have eaten outside as the sun was shining and it would acutally have been warmer. Secondly the food was poor. We chose the Wagyu beef roast which the menu stated would be served pink. One of our party stated it was like a school dinner, and actually that was not far off, the meat was overcooked, tough and pretty tasteless. vegetables and potatoes were average. Other than being nice to have a meal out in a nice location we felt we would have preferred to have had a drive in the area and returned home to eat. Sorry The Royal Oak but definitely not on our list to return.

Lovely pub with gorgeous food! However, on our visit the gluten free options were limited, which was disappointing! Overall the food was excellent quality and we had a lovely evening!

We have been to the Royal Oak lots of times as a favourite place for really good food. We were so disappointed we only stayed half an hour. The steak and ale pie was very disappointing. The meat was tough, no taste of Stilton and it wasn't hot. It appears that due to past popularity the place has become complacent which is odd given the current circumstances. It is also over priced. Won't be going back.

Called in on a whim on a miserable Monday afternoon. My partner & myself both chose the beef & Stilton pie, when they arrived we were blown away by the portion size, the pie was absolutely packed with chunks of tender meat. Hands down the best pie I’ve ever eaten, would have loved to try a pudding but couldn’t eat another morsel after the pie, chips and vegetables. Lovely country setting, ample parking, friendly staff, an absolute gem, will definitely return on our next visit to the peaks

Parking, cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, we were even an hour late and they still managed to accommodate us without making us feel like we were being rushed. Good food, decent price. Social distancing friendly. Would return!

Came with the family for dinner. Great friendly service and fantastic food. The kids burger went down a treat, the ribs were amazing as was the steak and the beef & stilton pie was outstanding. Would deffinatley recommend and will be back the next time we're in the area.

Could do better with COVID measures. The pub had too many tables in, so waiters had to squeeze past diners. Not a single member of staff had a mask or visor on and the tables were ‘cleaned’ with a scruffy cloth. It’s a shame as the food was nice but they are really behind other venues with their safety measures. We camped and the toilets only appeared to be cleaned once a day, which isn’t enough in the current climate. If they fixed these measures I’d come back as the location is great.

Went for a family day out to Buxton. Lovely pub with a great roast. Very crispy potatoes! Dessert was also very good. Good portion sizes, and great staff and atmosphere. We'll be coming again soon!

Fabulous pub in beautiful countryside. Food is amazing and service is excellent. Staff couldn’t be more friendly which only enhances the great atmosphere!

Hubby and I camped 3 nights. Campsite good but basic. No overhead cover for washing up, no electrical point for drying hair, can be cold even in summer walking around with wet hair. Communal toilets ran out of soap, with signs almost everywhere advising hand washing, I reported lack of soap and it was instantly replenished. Other than that the campsite was perfect for our needs. Food was outstanding, absolutely fantastic, a little pricey and we noted with the “eat out help out” deal they had increased some menu choices, we checked the prices 3 weeks prior and some had increased ! We would definitely eat at pub again.Showers/toilets in need of updating, basic but functional. One group of campers (all female) did not observe the 10pm no noise policy - 3am we could still hear them talking, banging car doors, Both nights we were staying, no respect at all for others trying to sleep with 5 hour drive home next day !

Called here after a walk on the trail. Cannot fault the service. The food was incredible. The ploughman's that my friend and hubby had was the biggest I have ever seen!! They said they had never tasted better. Fish and chips lovely. Thank you for a lovely meal, service and your hospitality. See you again in the week

Fourth visit and standards have slipped. Plates were cold my wife’s chips were cold the sea bass was delicious but the batter was undercooked. Also thought servers had to wear gloves but not sure on that as it was our first meal out since lockdown. My steak and ale pie was very tasty chips were different and fat but hot. Service and staff were five star. Will define go again as this may have been an off day

Glad to see you up and running Nice and busy. Forgot just how big the beef and stilton pie was. Spot on See you soon

We always head to the Royal Oak when in the area. Today was at Matlock so booked for lunch Belly pork meal fine, but steak and bq ribs a shocker. Ribs no meat on them how the chef didn’t notice this is incredible and the steak two small pieces over cooked with some appeared to be frozen chips of which are usually lovely . Hope it’s a one off otherwise wouldn’t travel from Sheffield to be disappointed

We didn't book, but the staff were accommodating and friendly in finding us a table. We ate lunch here and the food was amazing! My partner ate the burger and said it was one of the best he'd ever eaten. Which is a massive compliment seeing as he orders a burger nearly everytime we eat out.I had the ploughmans lunch which was really delicious. Would of liked a bit more chutney for the cheese though.For dessert my daughter ate the brownie which she liked and I had the banoffee pie which was delicious, very indulgent.The atmosphere was great and the service excellent. Food was reasonably priced too. We would definitely return when we're next in the area.

Myself and my partner arrived at The Royal Oak around 12:30pm on a Sunday, we aren't particularly local and had looked at the top rated places to eat around the area on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a go. Despite not placing a booking, the young man on the front desk was happy to provide us with a table. Our orders were taken quickly, and our Sunday dinners were brought out almost immediately - and were quite possibly the best roast dinners we've had! Fantastic quality of food, service, couldn't fault a single thing. Will definitely return when in the area, and book next time!

Beautiful setting with friendly, attentive staff who took our drink and meal orders promptly.We both ordered the Sunday lunch option (one pork, one topside of beef). The portion sizes were enormous but the one thing that spoiled the meal was the gravy poured over everything including the Yorkshire puddings. Maybe I’m being picky but I like my Yorkshire’s served crispy and not as a rather soggy heap. I’d much of preferred the gravy to be served separately. Apart from that great value for the price charged.

After a disappointing experience in the nearby Duke of York we decided to try somewhere else today and decided on The Royal Oak Inn. This turned out to be an excellent choice. The food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. A friendly welcome by the staff who went out of her way to accommodate us for a table of 4 in the area we preferred. This was followed by an extensive menu and unbelievably good food. I had the special which was Rabbit, Cider and wild mushroom pie with roasted veg and black pudding mash. The other meals were just as nice and we all loved it. We shall definitely be back when in the area.

No more words needed really ! From the moment we entered the pub we were made to feel very welcome and that nothing would be too much trouble. The food was amazing and we would highly recommend.

The fact that this place only has one 1 bubble review says alot and its true! it is busy but the food is just so good and varied always happy here when we visit.
