The Royal Oak Pub in Manchester

Kind staff. Lots of footy. Very sweeet barmaid who gave me mints for my sore tummy.

Really good drinks prices, always a good atmosphere, staff friendly and quick service. Good music/karaoke on a weekend. Never had food but a good 'proper pub' for a weekend night.

Really nice night in the oak as usual. Leanne is always friendly and accommodating as usual top night thank you

Food was tasty and service was great not exspensive and not busy

Another great night in the royal oak with the brilliant Leanne who has great service with a smile and always is hardworking and is always there for every customer she is a true legend ❤️❤️❤️

Had a few games of pool and the flattest pint I’ve had in my life. Didn’t try the food.

One of the best pubs in Chorlton

I went there on my birthday night out, the staff and customers were really friendly. There was a brilliant singer guitarist on, he was really good. I'm definitely going back there again

Brilliant Friendly Staff Lovely customers Great offers on drinks Brilliant that it’s a dog friendly pub Dan , Leanne , Liz ,Sam and Tom too many to o mention the staff are great , nothing too much for them x

Amazing service from Leanne. Very fast and accurate will be back 100%

Great pub and food. Leanne was amazing!

Visited this grand place, Sat 14th Sept 2024, they had a charity event going on, "Minds alike" Mental Health Awareness"a family fun day. It was such a great atmosphere, lots of friendly people, families with children, and even had their pet dogs with them 🐶.Very organised and friendly staff, a well stocked bar and a chief that can cook you up a nice meal, on hand. I would definitely recommend this place! and give it a 5☆☆☆☆☆

Good to watch the football, service was average but please explain to me why 10 crisps with dips costs £9

Came here because the website said there was car parking and there was none very disappointed

Staff really friendly. They have a quiz on Thursdays and just generally a good atmosphere.. worth a visit if in Charlton..

Leanne is the best thing that happened to this pub we really needed someone as spectacular as her here

Great proper pub, all the sport channels. Decent darts pub. Darts review.... Dedicated darts area. Winmau blade 6 Dartboard, LED ring lighting and electronic scoreboard. Raised oche, ticks all the boxes. 10/10

Really good service from Leanne yesterday she really is a credit to the pub

Great service from Leanne thank you

Great and swift service. Liam et al were very hospitable

Nice spacious, classic pub. Only had beer not food.

Again as always great service from Liam a brilliant young man who always has a smile and the food 10/10 had the buttermilk chicken burger and it was lovely Sam the chef the best in Manchester 😊

Inclusive environment, always got the football on and friendly staff. Prices are really reasonable for Manchester. Food is fine. 10/10 🤩

Cheap drinks and quick service Greta atmosphere and great place to watch sports / football Order to table or from bar Big space

A nice pub although a bit noisy and smelly. I guess this is the standard for many pubs but I don't enjoy it so if you don't like noise or alcohol smell this pub is not for you. I sat outside on one of the few tables they have and I enjoyed a few beers on a sunny day. That was really worth it despite the street noise. NB: Try the nachos

Attended a gig with Live music by "Son de la Suerte" as a part of Chorlton Arts Festival for an afternoon full of great music and dancing.

Decent pub with 2 pool tables also has live music plenty of beers selections

Thursday night Quiz with Tony. An absolute great night. The staff are good and the Quiz Dj is the best in the business Would reccomend Thursday night.

Lively atmosphere second home lovely staff gonna miss it but will be back had the most amazing times with friends love you all xx

I come in here a few times for food and never disappointed! Food is great and staff are even better especially Michael and Pete who was extremely helpful

Really nice pub! nice pub vibes, staff was welcoming and friendly. Food was good value for money i had lunch deal for £8.49 chilli chicken ciabatta roll was delicious!

Went here today after travelling to see parents 16 of us in total , all ordered food most food came out cold and had to be put in microwave asked for plain burgers which was totally ignored . We spent a lot of money and had to call to chippy on way home shame we didn’t go there first avoid food was awful and to be honest we probably tried half the menu nothing was nice !!!!! Very over priced

Trusted favourite , menu change soon

Daytime is wonderful to bring the little ones in. And with multi screens there’s a lot of sports to watch

Very quiet but it was early, very clean place, will visit again

Good pub good food with a lively atmosphere

I don’t often write bad reviews … but this place deserves one. Went for a roast this Sunday only to be met with what appeared to be less than half of what was advertised … microwaved food at best and completely over priced for what we received … generally unacceptable .. my advice to anyone visiting the area is to go and find another pub .. especially if you are looking for food !

Lovely place would love to visit again and again, highly recommend.

The landlord chris is a living legend and will be sorely missing in action 🎬

Decent little boozer to be fair

Love coming to the Royal Oak to watch the football, Today is Mother’s Day and we eat some lovely food, staff were amazing considering how busy it was especially the lady that was the manger that was on shift today, I didn’t get her name but I knew she finished at 7. We had a chat in the garden. If you see this you did amazingly today. Thank you to you all 💕

Great pub, food prepared by Michael was excellent. Chris the landlord has got a good atmosphere going.

Top Sunday pub. Friendly bar staff, good food, and good beer.

Great community pub in the centre of chorlton. Nice selection of lagers and friendly staff serving. Would recommend for a drink.

Work lunch staff were friendly food and menu was fine.

Who can say that the Royal Oak on Chorlton isn't the best local pub. Full of friendly and odd folks makes it a familiar drinking hole for the best seasoned pub goers. Full respect

Great pub, always a great atmosphere, especially during live acts, live sports etc.. Good team also. Chris the Landlord has done an amazing job.

Great local pub! The staff are fantastic and the atmosphere is great at the weekends. The prices are very reasonable for chorlton and they have karaoke, live music and much more. They also do lots of great work for charity and the local community

I always enjoy time in here Staff friendly , helpful , service with a smile nothing too much for them if you ask for something Excellent landlord Chris always has a quick chat and a smile for every one Quiz nights on Thursdays Entertainment on Saturdays Karaoke on a Fridays Pool free on Tuesdays on selected times Dart board and plenty of tvs for all sports Always clean and warm too especially with the weather lately And plenty of laughter with everyone

What a fantastic New Year party at the Oak. Can't beat it.

Went in other night was lively and had a good laugh

Lovely place stopped in and it was warm and friendly..

Another great trip to the Royal Oak. Food great, sport on the tele and team were friendly as ever.

Same old place just been updated, old school faces is what is 😊

Went in for lunch with my partner. Was hoping for a nice relaxing evening, but the quiz was on. After 5 minutes, my mind was changed. What a great night. Quiz man (Tony I think) was so entertaining and we had such a great night. Food was good. Nothing wrong with a bit of pub grub and I am a big gin. What a great choice. Staff we nice as well. We will be there again next week.

Didn't eat so can't comment, lively and friendly

Came for the manc derby, had some pints with friends by ordering on the app, a young lad called liam brought them over within a minute of me purchasing them which i was quite impressed by considering how busy it was. As well as that we ordered some food which again, was served by Liam, offered us more drinks and took real good care of us. 10/10 Service. 10/10 Atmosphere - I’ll be back!

Hard one to judge but a party of us arrived before lunch ( served at 12 ). The beers were fantastic. The service likewise. Even the Chef spoke with us. My burger was kinda average but still nice. We had put the guys on the spot and they opened early for us. An extra star for that in the circumstances. Good location though for all visitors to local grounds and Chorlton in particular.

Went there for a few drinks and lunch before a football match with a few fellow supporters. Plenty of seating in a nicely designed spacious place. A great selection of beers and ciders was on tap. The manager/owner(?) was a super nice guy and even opened the kitchen early so we wouldn't be in a rush to eat and make it to the game. The food was excellent and not expensive. The special lunch menu is an absolute bargain. We'll definitely be back when we play again in that area.

Usually excellent at showing two games at a time. Last week for the Newcastle Vs PSG match they kindly put it on (with sound) in the alcove area to the left of the bar next to the kitchen which worked well for everybody. However on this occasion, for the Newcastle Vs Dortmund game it was put on the telly directly next to the small projector screen meaning we had to endure the city commentary and we therefore wished we'd stayed at home. Would be great if you could specifically 'reserve' the alcove area for the non Manchester team on Champions League nights, there's usually a few of us wanting to watch the other game, preferably with some sound. I think it may have happened last night because the tall guy with glasses and dark hair wasn't on shift. Other than this its usually a great place to watch sport, especially with the discounted drinks via the app.

Went to a party in the Function Room. The staff were great, Buffet was good and all round well looked after. Would recommend anyone to book an event there. The person who had the party said they were happy with everything the team did from start to finish. Chris, the Manager, was so friendly and accommodating.

Great Rump Steak, with a Beefeater and Tonic, what's not to like??

It’s a decent pub if you’re looking for an alternative to some of the other hipster bars in Chorlton

The royal oak is a fantastic family pub with amazing bar staff service with a smile and a brilliant landlord called Chris who is always help with any inquiry about the pub and a wonderful chef Sam who cooks brilliant and lovely food ☺️

The function room is spacious with room for table chairs dance floor. Great for parties. The location is easy to get to.

Very nice pleasant place to watch the football plenty of TV's food and service is very good.

“Steak”n ale pie. Should be renamed gristle and slime pie. Pastry was ok but rest. Inedible. Frozen tasteless chips and plastic broccoli which again was clearly frozen. Yes it’s cheap but it’s very nasty. Worth spending a few bob more for decent quality. Avoid if you like edible food.

Charlotte...super friendly sorting 10x gift cards during a busy spell. Royal oak team always super accomodating and friendly.

Popped in for the facilities. Looks like it still had Christmas decs up which was strange. Its a massive pub. I would imagine its bouncing in the evenings. Toilets good size. Does look like the place needs a paint job and refresh.

Had lunch here a second time food was excellent and reasonably priced. My husband and son enjoyed playing pool.

Possibly my first visit since 1976. For many years this was a Fizz only pub. Paulicarus thinks it was a Whitbread pub back in the day. Popped in as it is now a Greene King pub with a Casque Mark. Oddly only two real ales but 4 real ciders from Lilley's. Greene King IPA or Golden Hen..Paulicarus chose the later. Very good pint. It is a large traditional pub totally opened up around the central bar. I remember the old multi room pub. Bright and airey with piped music, TV's and pool tables to the rear. Typical Greene King menu. Always good value.

Fantastic bar staff as usual with the wonderful Liz 😊 and awesome 10/10 food from the best chef in chorlton Sam 😊❤️

First time for a while. Wetherspoons closed! Everyone out. The place was flooded. We went into the Royal Oak and really enjoyed it. A Great Pub. Remember you'll walk in sober and walk out drunk.

I love this proper pub. So traditional. Brass and wood. Brilliant staff too.

Went to a birthday party celebration in the Pub function room

This place is great for any occasion. The staff are always friendly and you feel like family. Chris, Charlotte and the guys do an excellent job throughout. The food is sensational, with portions and quality always to a high standard. I always enjoy the quiz night but in all honesty any night is a memorable night at the 'Oak.

Great pub, great atmosphere and the staff really look after you. Food was good for pub grub. Will definitely be returning

Lovely clean pub. Great atmosphere

Delicious food. The guy was very kind in the bar.

I have thought about giving this review for over a week, as a regular I really like this pub and I like most of the staff, so I decided I would book the function room for a special birthday event. I have never had a proper party so as my 60th birthday was approaching I booked the room. I spoke to Chris the manager to discuss it, I like Chris and think he is a good manager, I asked about preparing the room, as I am disabled I knew I would need most of the day. So I paid £150 for the room, I was told the bar would be open until 12.30am, and that I could go in on the day from 9am-2pm and from 5pm, (as there was a regular class booked in at 2pm -5pm). I thought that was fine as I could make sure the food was pre-pared and get changed etc during that time. A few days before the party I received a message stating I couldn’t go into the room until 11am as there had been a function booked for the night before. So I re-arranged a few things with my friends who were helping and supporting me on my big day. The big day came and some of my friends came to help, Chris came into and helped get some helium balloons down from the ceiling 🤦🏻‍♀️ , he had previously shown us how to use the helium tank, coz that’s the kind of man he is, he popped in to see if we were ok. On entering the party in the evening I was informed by the bar staff that the bar was closing at 11pm and myself and my guests were welcome to carry on being served at the bar downstairs. Obviously I was not accepting that ! And the bar did actually stay open until 12am. I started trying to clean my decorations away and sort the left over food out etc but one of the doorman refused to let me? He was telling everyone to vacate the room, I told him I wanted to put my things away, as there were precious photos hanging up etc but he would not let me take them down I initially but I just did that anyway as there was no way I was going to let them go missing or get damaged. I was annoyed and upset that I could not put my own things away carefully etc. Earlier on in the evening this same door person had refused to let one of my friends in to MY party, this friend had prepared most of the buffet and had taken it to the pub and laid it out. This friend is also a regular and had been in the pub a few days before with no issues. I spoke to the doorman, and spoke to several members of staff including the manager and assistant manager, I was informed that each member of staff can bar individuals so that when that member of staff is working that person is barred? . Approximately 6 weeks prior my ‘barred’ friend had been in the pub with her inebriated sister and she had been trying to calm a situation down, but said door person took an exception to her. This spoilt my special celebration , no amount of pleading, apologies etc would change his mind. On collecting my party decorations and buffet plates/bowls etc I found several breakages which I was not happy about. I went in the pub 6 days later and the same doorman stopped me and said my friend was free to go in the pub now, the fellow door person stated ‘perfect revenge’. I was so disgusted at their unprofessional conduct that I have reported them to their governing body. So make your own mind up.

Perfect spot for my grandson’s 5th birthday party

Charlotte helped me and my mate with the food menu and recommendations were great 😀 Try the Tacos 👍🏼

An old fashioned pub with good TV screens if that's what you want. The food however was average. The steak was fine but the chips were not to my personal liking and the meal took a long time to come.

Great pub, fantastic landlord & staff. Making everyone welcome. A nice place to meet friends, have a drink & enjoy a tasty pub meal made by Sam. Weekends are livelier if you enjoy music & a dance. There’s also quiz & bingo nights. Tuesday social club for those wanting to meet new friends. Definitely worth checking out for yourself.

Great food, great service had a lovely time, Laura always smiling and chatting to us, seems to be a really nice person and for us to deffentlly come back 😃

Friendly locals, with a decent selection of beers and food, pool tables and darts and big screens for football and sports watchers.

Called in for lunch, lovely food, excellent service by Laura, very friendly and helpful, will be returning thank you

Great pub with great drink offers, the new Friday night deal is great. Liz is always great with advising what is best. Love coming here.

Great drink offers, Liz was so helpful in what drinks to have with ther food we ordered. Lots of screens to watch sport on I’ll defo return.

Great pub lots of screens to watch the football, great drink deal Liz was helpful In advising the best offers. Will defo be back

We had such a lovely date night at the Oak. The entertainment was great and the staff were really friendly and joined in with the fun. Will definitely be going there again on Saturday Night

Great pub! It has everything you can want. Beer and food are spot on and reasonably priced especially in an expensive area. There are 2 pool tables, a dart board and even a football table which is a very rare find! Sky sports, BT and even the racing channel if you like a bet. Staff are really friendly as are the locals. Plenty of spots for a quiet pint as well.

Not a bad pub, fairly standard offering. Did have a very long wait for our food, which was average when it came. Useful but not special.

Good friendly service but the pie I had the crust was hard it seems to be cooked in a microwave for to long

Nice atmosphere lovely friendly staff especially the young lady behind the bar advising me on drinks to buy. 2nd half of the tribute night was good mix of songs. Hopefully be bk soon with the work colleagues.

Had a lovely meal here Laura and Liz were very kind and accommodating, they came and asked if I was ok nothing was too much for them.

It’s lovelyjubbly. Great vibes 💥

Great place to drink and have a great time staff service Is brilliant

Just a reminder to myself not to return here. Went a while back with a couple of my friends for a couple drinks. Female member of staff at the bar was chatting with another older customer whilst I was waiting to be served - had to wait quite a while and I remember she served another man before me too (would've understood if the place was busy, but it really wasn't). When it got to ordering, my friends and I wanted to try some of the mocktails but the lady told she didn't know how to make them and seemed a bit standoffish. Ended up getting a coke and some lemonades but was a frustrating experience. All in all, I remember finding the service a bit rude, unfriendly, and prioritising other customers unnecessary. Wouldn't recommend.
