The Royal Oak Lagness in Chichester

Lovely pub if you're looking for somewhere for a quiet meal. Good variety of food (decent sized menu plus specials) which all tastes home cooked and decent quality at a reasonable price. Pub is a little on the chilly side at winter but completely understandable given how ridiculous energy costs are nowadays and how much it must cost to attempt to heat large high ceiling rooms with single glazing - just make sure you wear a jumper in cooler months and you'll be fine. Friendly service and nice decor.

We stopped here for Sunday carvery As it was the only pub around that had space as didn’t book elsewhere, thus was around 2.30pm so quite late lunch. 1st service : well it didn’t really exist Stood at carvery area for sometime with staff ignoring us, when the lady turned up she was polite, Sat down with food, no cutlery! Had to find someone to ask, the pub only had 3 other diners so not busy. Didn’t see anyone throughout the meal, it was like there was no staff only diners. Once finished had to stand waiting again to pay, We was then asked “are you full” I replied yes thanks. Payed the bill I then said thank you & bye had no reply!!! Food: It was ok, better then customer service, But some of the food was quite cold so really not that great overall The pub was nicely decorated but all the windows open in mid oct made it cold. Sat with coat on. Again if there was customer service they may of thought about their customer sitting eating in s cold restaurant. It could be a great place if more thought was put into there customer. No brainier. So mixed feelings, food taste good nice choices, but just about Luke warm not good, Service no existent So would not return.

Lovely staff. Amazing carvery. Choice of 4 meats, plenty of veg, stuffing, yorkies, sauces, gravy, crisp roasties. Only grumble food was not hot enough, but we soon wolfed it down!! Garden is very neglected, with a lot of tlc it could be a lovely place to sit. £36 for 2 carvery’s, 1 pint of lager and half of cider.

Cheap burger, salty. Fried eggs burnt on underside and crinkle cut chips of poor quality. Another customer sent their food back to be heated up. Pub looks nice on the outside and ok inside, friendly staff, but food very poor. What a shame.

After surviving a day trip to Butlins we swung into this treasure of a proper pub on the journey home. Arriving early evening , we were greeted by a relaxed and welcoming bartender who, when asked if there was a kids menu, replied no… but ‘we can do you anything in the main menu as a smaller children’s portion, if you want’ What a fabulous offering and idea, unheard of in any pub I’ve visited anywhere… So we ordered plenty and enjoyed it all, real old school proper home cooked loveliness… Friendly, attentive and just how things should be, look forward to visiting again…

Best home cook food l have tasted for year's the food is all fresh and tasty definitely home from home. The staff are all welcome and friendly and definitely a place to stop.

We visited the Royal Oak on the 6th August. As a family of 4 we were looking forward to their carvery. Well, we certainly were not disappointed. A choice of beef, gammon or pork. In fact we were offered a choice of all three. The meat was well prepared and very good quality. I’ve been to similar places where they cut the meat with a potato peeler, well not here. A big selection of vegetables and the homemade roast potatoes were to die for. The food was hot and not luke warm like some places that do carvery’s. I just about managed a rhubarb crumble and custard for desert. This is somewhere definitely worth a visit. Don’t miss out..

Took my mum out for a meal at Royal Oak lagness. This was the nicest meal we have had out in a very long time. The food was beyond fresh, hot and lovely. Everyone made us feel so welcome. There aren't many places we say we are going to go back to but we loved it that much I am going to plan to go there for my nursing graduation meal. Thankyou team for making me and my mum feel so welcome.

Visited with my mum & dad and my partner. We had a delicious sunday carvery delicious vegetables and you could choose from beef, pork or gammon. You can choose as many vegetables as you want. We then had a delicious pudding each, the waffle was amazing. Reasonably priced and good service. Everybody so friendly.

Went for Sunday roast, had previously booked table. My wife and I are both vegetarian, but she has severe garlic allergy. No problem for chef, they did us two totally different vegetarian dishes, both of which were lovely. Vegetarian gravy brought to the table without us having to request it. Even though they were short staffed, nothing was too much trouble. At this Sunday carvery, you do not queue, but each table is sent up separately, therefore, you may experience a little wait, but the system works.

Very slow service, we would of had a dessert but they never came to clear main course plates and ask if we wanted a dessert menu, so I paid and left, also never showed me the bill just told me what we owed

The Royal Oak is back on form. Glad to see the new chef has settled in well and is providing the food quality expected from this pub. I had the fish and chips and my partner had the mixed grill, excellent portion sizes for the price and quality food, will be back for curry night this week

Highly recommend coming here. Both food and service are always top notch and never have we left unhappy.

Visited the Royal Oak while stay at the holiday home,came in for roast dinner absolutely great Lovely meat beef and pork wife had gammon plenty of veg and the gravy was excellent be back again soon

Just had lunch at The Royal Oak, really lovely home cooked food, well presented, very tasty, plus good value. Nice friendly atmosphere and excellent service, well worth a visit.

Went for a meal with friends at weekend. No home cooked food now more À la cart À la suited more for an expensive town not locals pub Expensive!!

Service was poor. Menu offered a meal that they could not supply. Atmosphere not especially welcoming. Will not be going there again.

New to the area, thought we’d try this hostelry after seeing it advertised in the local newspaper. Certainly not disappointed - received a warm welcome, comfortable surroundings and crackling log fire. Ordered steaks which were cooked to perfection, very succulent as was the accompanying mushroom. Well presented with lovely chunky chips and onion rings. Good value for money and great menu choices to suit all pockets. We will return.

This pub is under new Management since we visited previously.Dropped in for lunch, Although the pie I ordered was good the battered fish and chips my wife ordered was rather disappointing, the fish was small and seemed to be straight from a standard packet the batter was soggy and the chips also seemed to be from a very basic supermarket range with a price of £12.95 not good value for money. Service was a be slow and having ask for sauce this never did appear.

We've been there twice now since the change of management, and both times the food has been excellent and obviously home cooked. The staff are generally pleasant and helpful, at the moment it is excellent value with their two for one offer.However even without that we would go again. The only slight downside is the atmosphere is a little 'soulless'. Around the open fireside near the bar it is lovely but further back it could do with the fire lit at the end too as it's a bit chilly. I think this would help, as would more Customers, but this should come with time I reckon.

This used to be an excellent place to go for food when arrived noticed under new management but still went in. Took a while to get a drink then sat down with menus both ordered sirloin steak one medium and one medium rare. When came out both cooked well done we were both hungry so didn’t say anything! Both steaks grisly which for the price wasn’t good. Very embarrassing as I took my friend there for her birthday and told her it was really good here. Won’t be returning anytime soon shame old owners were lovely and food was excellent!

Had a nice meal Thursday 2 January food was home made well presented just lacked flavour had curry nice didn’t taste of curry. Lasagna nice just needed more flavour. Would go again

I organised a Christmas lunch for 25 people at the pub and found the communication brilliant. We all had a great time, service was prompt and the food was lovely. Couldn't fault it.

Thought we would visit as there has been a change of management. We were the only punters in at 17:45, and the chef was not on site (food starts at 18:00). Bar person / waitress was very pleasant. When chef arrived, the first two items on the limited menu were off today! We both had to have the lasagne, which was fine, except lacking in sauce - plenty of meat though. A few people arrived later, but atmosphere did not really pick up. The decor, furniture and carpeting is spartan (the photos give a false impression). Under the previous landlord, there were always a few local drinkers sat at the bar, and a parrot, but they appear to have gone elsewhere. The sharing platter as a started was good. We won't be rushing back - probably wait for the next change of management. Quite expensive for what you get - better ,cheaper venues not far away.

We popped in yesterday for a couple of drinks and met owner Andy and his team. Advised to try their Sunday Roast which we did today. I had beef and my friend had pork both meals were of excellent quality, plenty of meat, veg and roast potatoes, big credit to the team. Will certainly be returning to enjoy the food, atmosphere and excellent service. A Big Thank You

Birthday celebration meal. We had a fantastic evening at the Royal Oak, log fire burning and a lovely atmosphere. Staff were very welcoming on arrival and very friendly. The pub had very kindly decorated the table and surrounding area. New menus from our last visit and presented in a nice leather folder, much better than our previous experience of wooden clipboards..!! We have seen that the pub is under new management, and it shows that they are trying to make some nice improvements. Pleasant music playing and cosy atmosphere. Wider range of starters and menu choices in general. Food was great, and the staff were very accommodating with the birthday cake. A great evening had by all......will be returning soon.....

Friday lunchtime the place was empty. Scampi and chips was great but lasagne was dry and lacking in sauce. The chocolate pudding appeared bought-in and was tepid and not pleasant.

Had a very nice light lunch today with my friend & our 2 dogs. Very friendly new management, hope they make The Royal Oak popular again!

Average sort of meal portion size of fish and chips expensive for price quite slow service although there was not a rush a few people later in evening would consider before visiting again under new management

Visited twice. Good menu but food came rather quickly for my liking and did not seem cooked fresh. However it was acceptable as we did not have a lot of time anyway. Staff were very friendly but the whole place is very tired and definitely needs a facelift.

Had a lovely meal last Saturday evening, bit of a spontaneous catch up, and although the pub was very busy, we enjoyed a great meal, from starter to pudding, with attentive service and a good atmosphere. Food came in good time and was full of flavor. We will be back....

We visited Sunday mid day with all the family (8 in total) yet again a great dinner, Kay behind the bar is always friendly and welcoming. We always come away feeling full and have never had reason to complain about the food as always of a great standard. We had varied dishes from roast dinners to plates off of the menu and they were thoroughly enjoyed by all .Great pub food, great service, great value, friendly smile .

We visited on Sunday 4th August 2019 my wife ordered the Roast Beef I ordered the Roast Pork ...both were yummy and my only complaint if you call it that is I could not finish it as I got stuffed but made sure I ate the Pork because it actually tasted like the Pork of old and not the rubbish water filled stuff...even though I didn't complete the dinner we both still had room for one of their delicious puddings a Knickerbocker Glory....keep it up girls your hospitality and service was great....only thing I got to add is ....YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE...Mr & Mrs C....London

After a 2 hour + drive back to Bognor we decided to stop here to get a Sunday lunch as it was on our way home. We had been day dreaming of, and salivating over Yorkshire puddings, well cooked meat and tasty veg, for over two hours. We should have turned around as soon as we’d set foot over the threshold. The car park was empty, and there was no-one inside eating. An empty pub on a Sunday afternoon - not usually a good sign. But we were hungry! We were told by a less-than welcoming, unenthusiastic bar woman, there was pork and beef on roasts menu. We ordered a whitebait starter to share and two pork dinners. We were sat on the smallest table in the “restaurant” so decided to eat in the fresh air. If you liked your legs being constantly caressed and tickled by knee high weeds then this is the beer garden for you. Run down, unloved potentially amazing beer garden. We ate our mediocre whitebait (I don’t think you can judge cooking skills on whitebait however so at this stage I was reserving judgement) without garnish which was served pretty quickly. We then decided the move inside for our roasts as it got a little chilly outside so moved back to our original tiny table. By this stage another family had come in to order, followed by a table of 3. Phew I thought, perhaps it just picks up later in the afternoon. Then we waited, and waited, and waited, for about 25 minutes. Then we saw two plates of food come out and started to get excited but they moved swiftly passed us to the family sat next to us. Two roast beef dinners with Yorkshires!! Mmm! I let the waitress finish serving the table then asked her how long our food would be as we’d ordered way before the family of four. She looked surprised that there was another check on but said she would speak to the kitchen. Another 5 minutes later we were served with what looked like a post-war plate of thinly sliced cheap pork with burnt but soft and soggy roast potatoes, some dried up peas, sloppy cabbage and squishy cauliflower. My grandparents would have loved it!! But, no Yorkshire pudding!! I mean come on, I know the tradition is “roast beef and Yorkshires” but everybody in the bloody world wants a Yorkshire with whatever meat they may be having! So we disappointedly tucked in and.....the crap thin pork was cold!!! I mean how many things can you get wrong on a roast dinner?! The veg was roasting hot, annihilated and “yummily” mushy but the pork was cold?!!? All this went so terribly wrong in the half an hour we waited. So I stomped up to the bar, plonked it in front of the bar maid and told how we had waited so long for this and the meat was cold?? No apology, not an ounce of s*** given and off she went to the kitchen to blast it in the microwave. Did she ask to see if my husband would like his meat warm too? Noooo of course she didn’t because she didn’t care. My husband was that hungry he wolfed the cold meat and crap veg down, and then finished mine as I couldn’t stomach another mouthful of now lava hot tasteless food. Not one visit to the table throughout to ask how the food was. I served behind bars and waitressed for years in my youth and it is basic stuff to ask how the meal is. It’s an opportunity to find out if what you have sent out is good and that the customers are happy. I wanted to ask for our money back but we were tired and I don’t think my husband was up for me “causing a scene”. So I though I would share with the public instead how dreadful this experience was and to advise never to go there for a Sunday lunch. It is safe to say, it’s the worst Sunday lunch I have ever eaten.

We were passing and it was lunchtime so we decided to give it a go. The service was swift and the food enjoyable as well as good value for money. Excellent toilets and clean!

Thank you for your wonderful service and amazing food. We went on a Sunday booked a table for 7. On arrival I asked for a table near the window as my son is autistic and has to watch cars driving past. Tick this was not a problem and we were shown into an area which was quiet and had the window. Tick order taken promptly and was happy to alter anything we did or did not want. Tick food delivered quickly and portion size was excellent. Puddings well again my son can't have white chocolate but again it was no problem and a pudding made for him. You went the extra mile to give us a nice reception, great service, beautiful food thank you it ticked all the boxes and we will be back.

We ordered a chicken pie and a hickory chicken , both arrived quite quickly .Both meals were ok but the beer was not up to scratch . The HSB I had was either the bottom of the barrel or it was just off . The sweet my wife ordered was strawberry and marshmallow roulade was not so enjoyable.

Lovely pub. This is the second year we've stopped here on the last day of our holiday. Thoroughly recommend the home cooked roast on a Sunday great choice of meats. Staff are lovely the pub is welcoming and clean. I have no doubt we will be stopping here every year. Thank you see you again in a year.

Stopped here for Saturday night dinner. Ordered Lasagne which came out cold in the middle so obviously not made that evening. Had to send it back so after more microwaving it was edible. My partner had lamb shank this was acceptable. Not much atmosphere in the bar and you have to actually go to the bar to place an order.

my wife and i had dinner tonight and really enjoyed the food, staff were very nice. my wife had the curry of the night and i had the lamb shank, both were very nice

We have eaten at this pub severalTimes andTo date always have had a great meal but today it was awful. I ordered the steak and ale pie which mash and veg. The pie was stone cold in the middle the mash was the worst it was squashed roast potatoes. None of the staff seemed bothered I was really disappointed as the the previous visits the staff and landlord have been great really welcoming and friendly. Bit on this visit I was totally gpbsmacked with poor quality of the food.

Came to the Royal Oak for the second time,staff were friendly and the food was excellent,quick and very hot. Will come again as also very well priced.

Just popped by for a light lunch and a coffee service was very friendly and speedy Sandwiches were freshly made and generous portions next time we will take a full lunch as it looked excellent.

12 riders from the 40+ cycling group were accommodated for lunch with little advanced notice. Excellent food served up very efficiently. I can recommend the vegetable soup. We will definatly return.

would recommend this pub, been twice with friends and we have enjoyed both time. Great menu selection and staff are very friendly. Definitely be visiting again.

Great food, very welcoming and friendly service. Food is good value, and always very tasty. This is one of our favourite pubs to go to, and never disappoints. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone to try, highlight for us is the steak & ale pie.

This is the second time I have been here recently and have not been disappointed on either occasion.

This was my first visit. My friends sister works in the kitchen so we gave it a try. We arrived 30 minutes early for our booked table but were seated immediately no problems. After being chatted up by the resident parrot! We ordered our meals. Chicken fajitas and the beer battered cod. Both were out of this world!! Fresh, cooked well, great portion sizes. Service with a smile. Fantastic prices. My one and only gripe which is not their fault is the exit from the carpark onto the really busy road, in the dark, on a blind bend, is a little scary. I would visit again without a doubt.

Great service and lovely food... which are both in short supply in pubs these days!...very friendly and accommodating with children to the point of asking them what they wanted even if not on menu and doing smaller portions for them!Very enjoyable visit and lovely last dinner of our holiday. Would definitely visit again

Having been let down by quite a few local restaurants/pubs lately we, a group of friends who go out once a month for steak, decided to give the Royal Oak and try we were not disappointed! Great steaks, friendly service and decent puddings. We’ll be back next month and I think we’re all going for the t-bones!

We haven’t been here for a few years, no particular reason for that as we’ve never had a bad meal here. All our food was fresh and hot and served very quickly. We won’t leave it as long next time.

We have stumbled across the Royal Oak. We are drivers working at good-wood dropped in for lunch it is a perfect place. Greeting was really friendly and the food was amazing we was all very happy.It is worth a visit , we will go back there again

Always a top pub in the chichester area for a sunday roast.. been here a few times more for social dinners and cant complain at all. Good service and friendly staff

Just stopped as was so hot to have a nice cold drink ended up eating & so glad we did had liver pate was impressed as very large & very tasty sat out in a lovely garden in lots of shade enjoyable visit

Having not been to this pub for over 20 years we decided to try it for our wedding anniversary. The pub has not changed at all. We were a little disappointed at the menu choices, both mains and deserts were very limited. The sizzling steak has been recommended by a friend, so we gave it a go. The meal includes grilled tomato, which I am allergic to. I explained this and asked for it to be replaced with extra mushrooms, only to be told mushrooms are a side dish! When my meal arrived low and behold grilled tomato on my plate. It was sent back. On a positive note the service was very quick and food freshly cooked. The lemon meringue pie was lovely. The beer garden is lovely and it has a nice atmosphere. The pub gets very busy if you want to try it booking is recommended.

Have eaten here on and off over the years in fact started coming when the new owners first took it over. The food has always been great, good value and lots of it. In recent times they have had a bit of a refurb and it looks good, they have a big back garden/ patio.Famous for their steaks and rightly so - delicious! Great pub if you want good pub food with no foams, gels or sous vide marrow bone just the classics done well and served by lovely friendly staff. Give it a go.

Visited with family, staff were very friendly & polite. Food was fresh & served quickly, good portion sizes and lovely home cooked taste. My children enjoyed their ham & chips, clearing the plates. Nice to listen to the parrot too!

We took our mother for an evening meal here. Despite the pub being busy the staff were very attentive and showed us to a nice table tucked away in the corner. The food choice was impressive and when it arrived it was beautifully cooked and of ample measure.. The home made pies are gorgeous and we will definitely be returning. One for the favourites list...

Had a very enjoyable meal Staff.service top class .Will be returning .like the idea of smaller portions .suited me as it was later than I normally eat .Top class

We ate here for my daughters 21st, great food, great service, great atmosphere and staff and landlord/landlady are lovely. Always go out there way to please, the food is always excellent, no matter what you have and the price and value for money is great. We use this pub regularly as we are never disappointed .

The Royal Oak Pagh Road, Lagness, Chichester PO21 1LN This pub restaurant was recommended to us by friends and we were not dissapointed. Great beer and good for part of a local pub crawl.

We visited Pagham again this year and had a meal at The Royal Oak . It has been renovated lately . Always a good meal ,I had a chicken with cheese and bacon and my wife had fish cakes. For a sweet my wife had a small Knicker bocker icecream .The food was ok good sized portions ,hot etc .

Reason I give five stars is because the food is all home made and cooked to order and a really good portion with all meals...the atmosphere is like any other place that serves food and the staff are very friendly..Had many pub food meals but this one is hard to beat and we rarely go anywhere else while down at bognor...In closing I would just like to add if you want a really good Sunday Dinner ....DONT PASS THIS PUB BY in you are in the area You will not be dissapointed Jim C

We dropped in on an unplanned visit. The pub was half full- quite busy but lots of people waiting by the bar to be checked in to their table (for want of a better description). We were waiting for a while and were pretty much ignored by the two staff and then when asking if we could just sit ourselves down we were told to wait to be seated in a rather passive aggressive manner. Then the member of staff spent a while at the til pointedly checking in orders and the disappeared whilst the other staff member continued to pull pints and ignore us. So we left for the much more welcoming Lamb in Pagham.

My wife ordered the Lasagna and when it arrived it was all burnt and hard it didn’t even look freshly cooked then complain about it and the lady even agreed I ordered the Sunday lamb roast sounded lovely but when that arrived the lamb had no taste seem like it was cook yesterday and reheated the potatoes were rubbery the veg had no taste , not a great experience definitely will not revisit

Precooked a family dinner for 13. The room was set out well with loads of space to move about. The menu is plentiful and reasonably priced. Because of my constant praise of the steak pie quite a few of us ordered it. As before it was delicious. A few had fish and chips and only empty plates left. No complaints on service from the team. All food is excellent with no complaints from any of us. Made a change to not have a roast on a Sunday and actually not one of us did. Well done the Oak and thankyou for ensuring our celebration went off without any issues.

Had a Sunday roast here, plenty of meat but the veg had been heated in the microwave but that said it hit the right spot! Staff friendly and as a lone traveller I felt at ease Here, would visit again if in the area

First visit for many years.Welcoming greeting from the staff.Nice interior, more open plan than it used to be. Nicely decorated.Pub garden needs some tlc - it's seen better days.Ate from the Bar Menu which was very reasonable in price. Macaroni cheese was ok, the sauce lacked enough cheese though. Jumbo sausage ok, not great. Not enough to entice us back.Beer good.

Great food, welcoming environment and excellent prices. We are now regulars to this lovely pub and we are never disappointed. Have taken many family members and friends there and all have enjoyed the experience. Always worth a visit for some lovely home cooked food.

This was our first visit and was disappointed. I ordered liver and bacon. I had to return it as the liver was not cooked all the way through and the side of vegertables were tasteless. By the time the liver was retuned to me the veg was cold and my husband had finished his meal. He had the fish cakes but was not impressed. There was a lady sitting on a another table and she ordered the steak pie which had to be returned because it was cold in the middle. This was our first visit and l think it will be are last.

We have used this pub on several occasions and have never been disappointed and since the refurbishment it's even more inviting. . The menu is varied and the landlord & Landlady are not afraid to try something different. Friendly staff and good attention to detail. I would recommend this pub to family & freinds

Recently moved to the area and after many trials and lots of errors came across this lovely pub on the outskirts of Pagham. Have eaten here several times now from a lunchtime snack, Sunday roast and mid week meals and have always been impressed with the quality of the food and size of the portions, the 16oz T bone special was huge and great value. Friendly staff, roaring log fire and a great pint of Gales HSB! Have tried all the pubs in Pagham and although this is not my nearest it is my favourite by far.

set menu as it was valentines day. food was average quality with little flavour. reasonably priced. good atmosphere

Have been to this pub before and always enjoyed the food. The place has been refurbished and looks clean and fresh. Food was super and good portions.

My mother and I had a Sunday roast here and the food was OK but could have been better, you could tell it was microwaved.Service was quick our food came out within 5 minutes. The portions were big but just a shame it wasn't freshly made. Probably wouldn't eat here again.

Like the new decor and layout. Food, as always, good menu, hot and tasty unlike some new pubs locally. Able to book in advance. Service very polite and friendly. Beers are always kept well. What is there not to like and enjoy

We have just visited the Royal Oak for the first time since it has been refurbished and was nicely surprised to see it now looks bigger and brighter with its wooden floors and terracotta floors new paint work and bar alterations looks really good . The food is still as good and the price is Wright .well done

We have been using this pub for a few years now and it has just had a redec and new menu ? Went there last Sat and quite honestly we were thoroughly disappointed . Reduced menu , more money and they ran out of beer Food was nowhere as good as it used to be Perhaps a new chef . Decor lacklustre We won’t use it again unless things change

Good pub fair easy parking nice garden friendly staff good ales .Clean toilets & comfortable seating

This pub serves good food in ample portions which I think is reasonably priced. Friendly staff who make an effort with their customers. Ale is not bad either.

Mid week evening in mid September is not usually popular with diners, but the pub was quite busy with drinkers and diners. Enjoyed our Cumberland sausage + egg and chips and Hickory chicken + boiled potatoes and salad, washed down with Fullers HSB and Pinot Grigio. Service was good and the food and drink reasonably priced.

Called in for Sunday lunch and was very impressed with the excellent food and service. Really relaxing with a nice compact garden. Also very child friendly even offering 'little people ' cutlery. Well worth a visit

Stopped by at The Royal Oak with friends for a meal and have to say it exceeded our expectations as the meal was first class as was the service.The loaded potato skins were probably the best I have had in an English pub and the cajun chicken was excellent. My friends had the Pork loin and cottage pie and none had nothing but praise for their food.The staff were polite and helpful and as for the rude Landlord well they must have either been sleeping or out of the pub as we didn't find any rudeness at all.

If you want service with a moan, tutting, and rude comments from the landlord then this is the place to go shame as the food was nice

This is our 3rd time eating food at this country pub. We have had excellent food on every visit. Home cooked, decent portions lovely starters, mains and desserts you should find something for everyone. Very reasonable prices. The staff are polite and friendly. Will definitely be back again soon.

We can only say drinks were great service was very good food looked very nice but due to being packed after drinks went on to another area to have a meal and not packed, but we should have been there earlier as food did look good.

Average meal. Service was not up to standard of other pubs in area. Due to them not coming back to take our order for deserts we paid up and left.

This pub is a family favourite. Last night we had a family meal, 30 people, they coped fantastically well without any pre-ordering or limitations on menu. Good honest food at good honest prices.

Friendly atmosphere, good food,well presented.Dined on bank holiday Monday with family and friends (6people) All had different starters .and main courses and everyone was satisfied .Will definitely return.

had a lovely meal here last night with family. I have been once before and had the lamb shank. It was so tender and tasty I suggested it to my mum and she loved it . I had the most amazing chicken, leek and bacon pie. Massive chunks of chicken breast and gammon it was delicious. Good size portions and all the food was piping hot. My son had the burger and my hubby had the mixed grill. They said it was amazing. Pudding was to die for. The cheesecake was out of this world . The staff were so friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. I very pleasant evening.Will be back to try more on the menu

The food was wonderful. The greeting was great. Service with a smile and joke. I would recommend this pub and will be taking more of my family next time to eat (hopefully Easter hols).Excellent value

First time there we needed a place for lunch between fareham and eastpreston. Lovely staff lovely wine and lovely food what else can anyone want. Oh and very good prices.we will be back.

Very good menu choice. Good value for money and very clean!! The staff are very friendly and make you vwey welcome.

Have had lunch here on a couple of occasions and found it a very pleasant place to eat. The menu is quite varied with ample choice. Quality and cost is excellent. At peak times it may be well worth booking to avoid disappointment. It for s also five star rated by the local authority.

Having driven past The Royal Oak at Lagness innumerable times we had always wondered what the food was like, especially as their advertising board said "sizzling steaks". As my father in law loves steak we booked this as a surprise for his 90th birthday. We wanted this to be a special occasion so we asked if we could add a few things like balloons and a birthday cake. The staff were really receptive to this; they even bought out the cake with candles lit and joined us in singing happy birthday! All in all an excellent evening meal and we will will return. Value for money was good - it worked out at just over £25.00 per head including starters, mains, deserts and drinks.

Went to my grandads 90th birthday meal. There were 28 guests that were well looked after. Great choice of food and cater for all. Family orientated pub, with really friendly and helpful staff. Ken the Lanlord was a great photographer We had a fantastic time. Thank you!

9 guests, pub was very quiet , we were the only diners but the food and service was great. All meals were piping hot and tasty. Staff were accommodating when we made slight adjustments to our meals when ordering. Would recommend and will be revisiting .

Visited this pub and for a table for four was greeted with a tut and if your quick,bit weird retraunt was empty and it was only 7.00 pm the good was faultless but the landlord is the most miserable rude landlord I've ever met

Came here on my way home from a meeting on 10th November, and all I can say is what an amazing meal it was. When I entered the pub I was great with a warm and comforting classic pub feel. All the staffed were friendly and seem to enjoy their work.Not only that it was very well priced as the lamb shank was just £9.95 which for lamb is really great value for money. The lamb shank was excellent, it practically fell off the bone it was so tender and the vegetables were all fresh and locally sourced. The gravy is to die for and the compliment it all was a deliciously creamy mash. The whole experience was a joy to be a part of. The service was efficient without being intrusive and they were always watching as to when we needed something. It was like they had a sixth sense for their customers. On top of that the bar was always staffed and never once did I have to wait for a barman to appear to be seen to.The icing on the cake was them allowing me to stay a couple of hours to get some work done. There are plenty of plugs dotted around for laptops and the wifi is free access. I would personally like to thank the owners and all the staff (including the cook) for a fantastic evening.

I have eaten here many times and have always enjoyed the food , it's always been great quality with a wide range to choose from. I highly recommend stopping here for a great meal.
