The Royal Oak Pub in East Lindsey

We waited for longer than I would have expected. The meals had an abundance of peas and onion rings, which we were unable to eat, a waste of food.

Lovely Sunday roast dinner really tasty friendly staff and portion sizes were great. Love how there is a 'little kids' and 'big kids' menu aswel which is very good if your have children. The dinning area was light and comfortable will definitely be going again

Nice atmosphere. Busy Saturday e ending but service was fine. Good, varied menu plus good selection of specials. Both starters tasty (prawn cocktail and tempura battered king prawns) and decent portion size. Same for the mains of beef stroganoff and Malaysian chicken coconut curry. All reasonably priced too.

Good food as ever providing decent value for money. However on this occasion we felt the service was a little slow, disappointing given the place wasn’t at all busy. Staff seemed more concerned about setting new tables and chatting than serving those that were still eating. Waited a full 10” or more after finishing eating for the table to be cleared. At that time there were only two other parties in the restaurant.

Excellent food. The best Humters chicken I have ever eaten, and the cheesecake melted in my mouth. My friends' meals were great, too.

Took my daughter out for a meal. The ambiance is always excellent here. The food is always freshly cooked and is always really good. Would definitely recommend

Okay night, nice atmosphere in the front restaurant but staff were very blunt but it didn’t seem very busy Heard great things about this place so we thought we’d give it a go as we only live ten minutes away, but it wasn’t for us, maybe others might enjoy it more. Menu was extremely large and probably too much choice and too much work for the kitchen to provide all the dishes as none of hours were as good as we felt they could be.

Excellent choice on menu. Services first class staff were very attentive, pleasant and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed the atmosphere but relatively average food, starters and mains were okay, desserts probably our favourite. Service was very friendly though - we may try again for another go

Visited on a Thursday evening. Food was nice but average nothing outstanding. Service was good, friendly and efficient

Went for Mother’s Day. It was absolutely delicious! We all enjoyed it and was so stuffed! Service was fab! We love coming here

Mothers day Booked as had fantastic meals in the past. This time pub manager rude in bar. Staff seemed knackered and not friendly at all. The meal although nice wasn't to the same standard as usual and restaurant cold. Asked for heating to be turned up as was unpleasantly chilly and got repeatedly ignored. Such a shame as I would have normally recommended this place.

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere. Very relaxed. We had the fish and chip as it was on special the day we went very good value for money

Family of 7 including a little one and everything was perfect. All meals where as ordered all came out at the same time a d nobody had any complaints. My food was excellent d overall we loved Our 2nd visit here and the food is to a high standard x x

Excellent food good service very welcoming see you soon Been several times and will be back soon. I find the restaurant very welcoming and staff are wonderful Can't do enough for you

Fish and chips very good would highly recommend bread was £1.50 per person wouldn’t have that again over priced Service very good efficient and friendly

Had a lovely Sunday roast, excellent food with a nicely chilled glass of wine. Serving staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to family and friends

Booked to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Was a little put out to be asked to let them know our menu choice for our party of 8, however the meal was very good. We all had different meals which all came out at the same time (and I guess that’s the reason for a pre-order!). Each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, will definitely return. Many thanks.

Been here several times now and never disappointed. Staff lovely and friendly. Am I going again? You bet yea.Also will recommend to others.

We visited recently to celebrate my sisters birthday! We had been before so knew it would be great! We weren’t disappointed! We were met by Jude who was to be our waitress for the day. Jude was very friendly, welcoming and professional. Exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious, hot, home made, and enough to fill your plate! All at a reasonable price! All in all, great food and customer service! Thank you all. From David and Julie

Had special board rack of lamb never before had a plate full of potatoes and 3 slices rack of lamb at 25 pounds hardly a quality meal would not go back or recommend

Excellent service and meal was lovely. They also do lite bites and special fish n chips on a Wednesday Really enjoyed it - would visit again

We ate here for a birthday meal! The food was absolutely gorgeous. The atmosphere was great. Make sure to book if you wish to visit.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff and great food, good price would definitely recommend. We were celebrating Galentines day , mum and her two daughters… we all loved it 🥰

The food was excellent, hot, and the staff very helpful. Looking forward to going again soon. The cheesecake was outstanding

The food was cold very over priced (it’s a pub) not a restaurant, believe it was the manager who served us …rude basically threw our plates down at us. The garlic mushrooms made the bread soggy as they had been soaking up for ages in the kitchen. 66.00 for Sunday lunch NOT WORTH IT.

Food excellent. Staff were very professional polite and friendly - a credit to the restaurant. Drinks were a bit pricey, but expected in a good restaurant.

Best fish and chips in town never disappoints. Never had a bad meal staff great easy booking . Whatever time you go allways good but the fish and chips are amazing

We enjoyed first class quality food, excellent speedy service and a lovely ambience . Specials nights are really good value.

Great choice of food and good quality we had the Fish and chips as they were on offer at half price on a Wednesday and didn't disappoint, the staff were friendly and helpful

Nice environment but a little chilly near the window. Staff were friendly. Menu varied, nice food, freshly cooked, no grease. A little overpriced

I rang to reserve a specific table 8 days before our planned visit, and was told by the gentleman I spoke to that it was available, so he reserved it for us. On arrival we were told the table was reserved for someone else, when I told the staff that we had reserved it, I was told there was no specific table against my name. This is, at best, very bad management, but we had the feeling our booking had been purposely changed to accommodate the other guests.

The food was very good and the service polite and efficient. Overall we thought it overpriced and £6 for a pint of beer is outrageous.

Yet again have had a very enjoyable and delicious lunchtime meal here. We visit regularly and have never been disappointed. The meals are freshly cooked, the special choices varied and changed regularly. The staff are friendly and well trained, always friendly and helpful. Always busy, but waiting time is not too long. All four of us enjoyed our meal choices. The lamb shank was delicious. A couple of weeks ago I had the Guinea fowl special and my partner had the duck breast. Definitely to be repeated.

Heard excellent reviews about this restaurant and decided to try it out for ourselves...we were not disappointed. Delicious food...ambient surroundings...attentive, polite and professional staff...Ladies facilities...squeaky clean (it matters)...and my very fussy husband said the Seabass was "scrumptious" Praise indeed. We will be back x

Superb meal and service. Would recommend the liver and onions. The lemon meringue pie was amazing too.

Last minute tea out, very good food, good price, pleasant surroundings and as always, excellent staff, very frienly

This is a lovely restaurant with very polite and friendly staff. We do use the restaurant often and the food has always been up to a great standard. However I now feel they have stepped up another gear and the food is of an even higher standard. Would definitely recommend trying it. If you just want pub food the bar is also very comfortable, but may still need to book a table because it gets. Wry busy on a weekend. I would also recommend booking the restaurant any time of the week because it is busy everyday

Food was lovely and service was very good. A little expensive, but overall the family really enjoyed it. We’ll definitely be back.

Fish and chip wednesday is a favourite of ours, we usually go with friends and we all agree you cannot beat The Oak for fresh, tasty fish and chips. Always excellent service from the staff and we're really proud of our local, staff and all. We will return again soon. 👍🤗

Amazing food as always! Friendly staff who know the menu well and a nice cosy but chilled environment ❤️ perfect local

A family of nine and trying the Xmas menu. Service and food was excellent. Really enjoyable meal. I would highly recommend this venue for a meal out.

The whole meal seemed chaotic, low quality and unorganised. We rushed through and wouldnt return, Starter was prawns and salmon which was just fish on a plate no side salad, bread etc just a whole lot of cold fish. Bland and boring. Main was beef...

Fantastic Work Christmas Dinner - would definitely recommend. Lovely setting, fantastic food and brilliant service.

Beautiful place, beautiful atmosphere and beautiful tasty food. Every staff member makes you feel the most important at every visit! Cannot fault it in any way!

Visited with family of 6 for birthday celebrations. Regular customers often 2/3 times a month. But definitely won’t be rushing back any longer. Food was overpriced and portions small . One meal arrived with a large amount of tinfoil inside a burger. Which was only noticed upon chewing and then looking inside bun. (2 inches worth of foil in bun, how much had inadvertently already ben eaten by my child!) staff were quick to replace meal and very apologetic. Puddngs arrived and two hot desserts had to be returned due to them being tepid in temperature! Whats happened Royal Oak??? Very dissapointed!

Fish and chip wednesday is a favourite of ours, we usually go with friends and we all agree you cannot beat The Oak for fresh, tasty fish and chips. Always excellent service from the staff and we're really proud of our local, staff and all. We will return again soon. 👍🤗

Another great meal, thank you. We were celebrating my partner’s 60th but he only wanted low-key. My in-laws brought a cake and the staff kindly brought it out at the end of the meal for us. It was just the right amount of fuss for him! Between us we had gammon, light bite scampi, light bite haddock goujons and steak and mushroom pie. All went down well. The light bite meals were larger than we expected too. We’ve had a number of multigenerational family lunches here over the last few years and the food quality has been consistently high, as has the service.

Meal was very average and quality of the fish and chips was not up to its usual standard. Deserts were quite expensive and very small. Overall quality of the food did not justify the price.

I was quite disappointed with my meal, I had fish chips and peas, it was a very small portion, my cousin asked if I had ordered a small portion but I hadn’t. The fish was very thin, accompanied by a very small basket of chips. I had a malted milk and Irish cream tort for dessert, I expected a sponge cake but it was more like a cheesecake and absolutely tasteless, I think I will not be returning as for what we got I thought it was expensive, also the waiter was very rude, he kept shouting very loudly at us.

Best Sunday roast we have ever had. First time visiting and accidentally booked into the sports bar rather than the restaurant but they managed to squeeze us in thank you. Will definitely return and will definitely be regulars.

I’m so upset I have to write this as this place is my absolute favourite for Sunday lunch but unfortunately this Sunday I was utterly disappointed. I ordered the chicken which I’ve had many times before but the breast had all the bones still on the reverse side so I had to spit them out and try get all the bones off my plate which wasn’t very pleasant when having a mouthful of food. This really spoiled it. The young man I told did apologise and said they had changed supplier but it’s the chef who puts it on your plate !! I will return but I will never have the chicken again.

Good friendly service and tasty food. Both dishes from the specials board (oriental style pork belly strip and monkfish & chorizo stew). Popular eatery (Knife & Cork) with pleasant ambience. Reasonable price for what you get. Would definitely recommend the Knife & Cork.

Very good food, especially impressed with the good quality gluten free choice available. The service was friendly but our meals did take quite a while to come

Visited with great friends on my return from Australia. The food was lovely in a place with a great atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the menu was good offering a range of food.

We go here quite a lot , especially on a Wednesday. Our table was not ready so we we're told to get a drink and wait in the bar which we did and a waitress would come for us once the table was ready, Our table was booked for 2pm ,we did arrive about 15 minutes early so this was expected . We sat in the bar till nearly 2.30 and still no one came, my husband then went through to see if the table was ready and it had bedn ready a while and they put us down as not turning up ? The service was shocking , staff rude roo. Won't be returning .

Took my Son for his birthday. We have 4 lovely meals. The food is amazing, the place is quaint and the bar staff and locals are so friendly. Its not the 1st time we have been and it wont be the last :)

Absolutely amazing place with a great atmosphere food was fantastic especially the steak great service well recommended

Fabulous food and service. 23 of us went to celebrate my 70th Birthday and a good time was had by all x

Me any my boyfriend came for food and we had the grilled chicken burger and skinny fries snc I must say it was amazing we already booking our next date night here 😊

Went for the first time and was not disappointed the food was excellent and the staff were really professional and very friendly

Food delicious as always. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Good selection of beers on draught :-) What else do you need? :-)

Hadn't been for quite some time to the Royal Oak, which is nicely separated into the Knife & Cork restaurant & a separate bar area. 6 of us booked into the restaurant for Sunday lunch. Easy booking on line, car park area was fine, nice...

Absolutely brilliant service and the staff went above and beyond 5 star service would highly recommend

Good food, great choices and very good service. I recommend booking, especially in the evening as always seems busy. I like how they change their specials, always good variety of choices, and never been disappointed.

Great service but like so many places, getting past itself on price for lunch. A better choice of less-fancy food would be an advantage. Should look at Healing Manor for example.

Excellent service. The restaurant was very noisy, but that wasn't something the staff could do much about, of course! Good to see that they are busy I suppose. I had the tacos and my wife had the scampi (light bites version - still a decent...

Good food and service, with friendly staff. Plenty of parking just off the main road. Booking is essential.

Excellent mains and deserts with the chef special pasta very tasty, great service by all staff many thanks

We had a delightful experience at the Royal Oak Inn in Holton le Clay! From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome that se the tone for our visit. The food was not only delicious but also exceeded our expectations, offering a wide...

Came here for my partner's birthday. Could have gone anywhere but she chose here due to previous good meals in the past. Service was ok until the food arrived. Once the food was presented, nobody ever came back to see if the food was ok,...

Food was excellent as always Fish & chips x 3 and seafood linguine. Will definitely be going back again 😃

What a stunning meal!! Every single one of our 13 people in our party had beautiful food served to them! We Didn't wait to long and the service was great. I can't wait to come back

Very nice food., Had salmon skewers and salad. The Sunday roasts are very good Friendly staff and nice pub especially the lounge restaurant

Wonderful fish and chips with excellent friendly service, as usual. Best lunch available. Venus best in town.
