Extremely overpriced cheap food. Beer extortionately overpriced. Pie meal had thick pastry and five chips on the plate. Tasted like frozen chips. Child's pizza looked like it came from Asda cheap range. Beer just under £7 a pint. First and last visit

Visited tonight 7 Oct as a party of 5. 2 of us chose the special menu pork platter which I anticipated to be substantial given the £22 price tag. What a disappointment- 2 mouth sizes of pork filet, half a sausage roll and a thin splattering of black pudding in the rosti. A massive rip-off, despite nice presentation and quite tasty. I explained my disappointment to the young waitress and asked the chef to be informed. No feedback or apology whatsoever from staff. We have had many family outings to the Royal Oak over many years and this has been a real let down. For balance, the 3 other diners enjoyed their meal. Welcome a management response

Easy to find as just a short drive from Junction 3 of the M65. They offer a Lunch time special of a starter and a mains for £20 per person Monday to Thursday between 12 and 2.30pm. This is also available as an Early Bird Special between 5 and 6 pm. Good range of mains. If memory serves you have choice of around 14 or so dishes. Specials or steaks are not included in the deal. I went for the Salt and Pepper Squid, normally £7.50 as my starter. For my mains I went for the Chicken and Mushroom Pie. My fellow diner went for the Beef and Ale Pie. Both were £16.95. The 2 course option was £4.45 cheaper than if I had bought my starter and mains outside of the deal. A reasonable wine list but nothing under £23.00 that I could see so not the cheapest. And despite a description of the wine there was no mention of the ABV which I thought was a bit of an oversight. I enjoyed my starter but would have liked it to have had a bit more of a kick. Both pies were very good. Decent filling and like the rest of the food piping hot. Staff confirmed they were home made. Chips were good. Evenly cooked. Mine came with white cabbage, my fellow diner got red cabbage. The pies were served sitting on this. My cabbage was lovely. They must have melted some butter into it as it was so tasty. However, like with the chips I thought the portions were a bit on the small size. And both pies though very good had some herbs added for flavour which they didn’t really need. I wasn’t full so went for a dessert. I ordered the Chocolate Pot at £7.95. It was very rich and tasty. It came with some ice cream on the side which was delicious but was a really small portion. In fact I thought it was skimpy. Service was friendly and good natured despite an early mix up with my wine order. We were served by Skye who although busy with other customers popped over several times to check everything was alright, answered our queries and took on board our comments which she said she would relay back to the kitchen. So quality wise no complaints about the food. It’s way above average for pub grub. But it’s not the cheapest and, I have to say, the portions were a little small with regards to the chips, the cabbage and the ice cream. However, this would not put us off visiting again as it’s very easy to get to from the M65 and they do have a good choice of mains available on the meal deals.

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

My party of 4 enjoyed our Saturday lunch. Each of us tried a different main meal. Cheese & Onion Pie, Fish Pie, Steak & Kidney pudding and one off the special menu, Bream. Each of the meals was perfect and just enough to be able to squeeze in a lovely dessert too. Lemon panna cotta, banofee pie, sticky toffee pudding & the sundae. The only downside during lunch were the two files that thought they would join us for our meal. The staff were super lovely and very helpful. Maybe some citronella candles might help during the warm days. They didn't put us off the lovely afternoon, and we weren't hurried at all. Lovely homely place, plenty of parking. Thank you for a lovely lunch. ❤️

The price of a pint was astonishing during our visit—£12.60 for a pint of Campo and Moretti. How do you attract customers with such high prices? The venue is charming and has the ambiance of an old English pub, but the pricing needs to be more realistic. At times, it felt like we were in London. I would suggest negotiating with your supplier and considering the Wetherspoons pricing model.

En route home from a day out . Had not been here for a few years but as we were passing my wife and I decided to stop for our evening meal. We both decided for a main and I chose the Fish , Chips and Peas whilst my wife went for the Steak Pudding . As soon as my meal was put in front of me all I could smell was cooking oil . The batter on the fish was a very dark colour . As I cut into the fish the oil oozed out and soon covered the plate. I had already pushed the chips to one side . I knew at this point I should have raised the matter with the staff but me being me I put on extra salt and dipped into the tartare sauce plus mushy peas. The fish - haddock - just tasted of the oil that it was cooked in which was soaked into the batter. It should have been allowed to drain out before being plated up . My wife said the filling in the steak pudding was nice but it was not a suet pastry pudding , just flour and water casing . As regards the chips , just mediocre tasting by at least not dripping in oil.

A four for quality of food, your royal oak burger had grissel through it, maybe change your butcher for this product, if I may suggest try Frazer's butchers in Bolton for your burger meat, fish and chips excellent as was your lamb,

We have dined here on a number of occasions and we have noticed a decline in the quality of the food served. Had a Sunday roast and we were disappointed in the amount given. It sounded lovely on the menu. When we received the meal there were 2 pieces of thinly sliced beef ,1 floret of cauliflower with hardly any cheese sauce , dry roast potatoes, little serving of carrot and swede, 2 florets of broccoli, 1 average size Yorkshire pudding and not enough gravy ..£20!! Very dissatisfied. Doubt we will be going again.

First time we visited, was amazing. Second time I felt slightly robbed. Paid £17 for a chicken and ham pie. When it came it was definitely a chicken and ham pie from Booths with a few chips and some gravy. Considering I know the same pie is about £4.50 from Booths, hence the feeling of being robbed. For that price I would hope to have a homemade pie. Could've rusted up my own at home for a lot less. Everyone else enjoyed their meals.

I’m not messing about here. This was seriously nice. Staff are really really nice and mega helpful. But that fish and chips I had today was phenomenal. The fish is exactly how I love it to be. If I was being picky about anything the chips could be better. Now they seemed like proper chips but they just seemed too dry. I don’t know why that was and I don’t really want to speculate. But it was like they was warmed up after being cooked. I could be wrong but I eat a lot of chips and something wasn’t doing those chips justice. This however will not stop me going back here for that fish or to try the other menu items. I’m still going 5 stars because I genuinely enjoyed my whole experience. Just a couple of notes about the place. It was very clean , very nice and traditional inside. Dogs seemed to be welcome at the bar area at least. And parking had 3 disabled parking spaces.

Christmas and family Birthdays had that table for over 30 years. To add insult to injury the people sat there hadn't booked that table had never been there before and I heard them say they wouldn't come back again.

Very nice and cosy traditional English pub restaurant nestled in the country panes of Lancashire. Warm, clean, friendly attentive staff and a log burner completed the homely atmosphere. Don't come here looking for a cheap eat, and remember quality is always worth paying for. We skipped starters and ordered 2 burgers which came with fries, but disappointingly no side salad or coleslaw. Nice juicy burgers, of decent quality, done right. Served nice and hot. The fries were crisp and didn't taste like a cheap catering grade option. Skipped desert as we were in a rush but this is a decent establishment if you are looking for above average pub meals. Menu has some nice alternatives and wasn't just the usual line up (despite our unoriginal order). Have been before, would go again.

We were greeted very warmly at the bar, and shown to our table, by a lovely young lady. We ordered drinks, and food, both of which arrived very soon after. I ordered the steak and ale pie, and was one of the best I've ever had , it was full to the brim with beef, and the pastry was thin and crisp,served with chips, red cabbage, and a pot of gravy. Instead of a sweet desert, we opted for the selection of cheeses, which came with two pots of chutney, water biscuits and four different cheeses, all really nice , but could have done with a few extra biscuits, as there weren't quite enough for the amount of cheese etc... We have eaten here before at lunch time, and will definitely be back. Would have left a tip, but had no cash with me. Sorry.

Such a lovely gem of a pub! The Royal Oak is situated in a beautiful rural setting in the Ribble Valley. The pub is comfortable with a traditional country pub aesthetic mixed with contemporary amenities and design tasted. The premise is clean and well maintained. The pub is busy but not usually loud or crowded. Staff at the Royal Oak are friendly and approachable, they are attentive and responsive to requests without being overbearing. Food and drink are served promptly. Drinks offered include your typical suit of popular beers; Guinness, Moretti etc.. mixed with a small selection of traditional Thwaites Brewery ales. There is a standard selection of wines and a small number of Ciders and non alcoholics are also available. As far as Im aware craft beer isn’t served here. The Food is where this pub really shines. Everything I have eaten here is phenomenal from starters to desserts. I particularly recommend the specials menu. The Sunday dinner roast beef is probably the best I’ve ever had, beating expensive steakhouse roasts and Michelin star beef dishes. Other meals sampled include fish goujons, mushroom arancini, pork asiette and stick toffee pudding. All were excellent. The drinks and main menu is standard country pub prices. Specials are a bit more expensive but well worth it. 5 star definitely worth visiting. I would recommend booking for food rather then walk ins as this place seems popular.

Visited The Royal Oak Riley Green and have to say how lovely the food was! It was freshly made and service was to a high standard from start to finish! With the cost of living crises we only treat ourselves to a meal out every now and again as I'm sure most of the world are the same. We will be visiting again as we really enjoyed the experience. Thank you

Visited for the first time recently, and I couldn't fault anything. The service was excellent, and all seemed to be timed perfectly. Despite being busy, everything was taken care of efficiently. Each of our three courses was cooked and presented to a very high standard. I look forward to our next visit, and I would not hesitate to recommend the Royal Oak to others.

We got a voucher for a 3 course meal for 2 with processco. When we arrived we were seated quickly, drinks order taken and menu provided. We were told about the extra supplements for 1 starter, 2 of the mains and 1 dessert! Drinks came quickly and we had barely touched them before being offered more. Eventually the order was taken. We ordered all three courses at once. It was very slow but the food was lovely. The goats cheese tart to start was delicious. We both had suppliment mains (steak and duck) but they were really nice and the sticky toffee pudding was out of this world. Somewhere that actually gives you enough toffee sauce! Amazing. We enjoyed it, with drinks (2 diets cokes and 2 alcholic) and the supplements it nearly doubled the cost of the voucher but we enjoyed it.

Absolutely amazing Sunday Roast Platter seriously 5 🌟. We were made to feel welcome the moment we stepped inside and the staff are so professional whilst still having a laugh with you. I can definitely recommend the choc n orange martini!
