Never dissapoints-food and ale

A very disappointing visit to the Royal Oak compared with many visits in the past. The staff were helpful and pleasant but the choices and quality of the food were far below what we have experienced in the past. We will not be going again which is a pity because I have always enjoyed Robinson beers.

Our experience for Sunday lunch bore no resemblance to the positive reviews on Tripadvisor. Service friendly enough but painfully slow (taking order, delivering food and clearing away), as clearly understaffed. No check back. Food appalling quality, especially given the prices, e.g. the tiniest sliver of thin unidentifiable over fried fish; frozen chips all served on a tiny plate. No slice of lemon and not even tartare sauce as described - £18.95. - shocking. Roast dinners were slightly better with fresh vegetables and home made Yorkshire pudding, but frozen roast potato and thin slices of beef from a catering pack with its generic gravy - £17.95! Bar manager explained lunch had been prepared by the assistant manager and they were advertising for a chef. I hope this happens soon before you lose more of your customers. Fish and chips deducted from bill at our request, but sadly our special occasion lunch was spoilt. Surroundings pleasant and beer in good condition.

Great Sunday Toast with excellent vegetables and lovely roasts. Pasta dish was also fab! Very good value for money!

Absolutely fantastic , great Service, food and atmosphere the staff can’t do enough for you

Big recommendation from regular visitor. Always looked after by hard working owner and staff. Great place, good drinks, food and atmosphere. Ideal for quiet couple afternoons or busy group evenings.!

Fabulous atmosphere, amazing food and friendly, efficient and welcoming owner and staff

Visited here for some food and drinks with my friend and sister in law on Friday 20th February. We ordered some small plates to share and cocktails. Food very good, great atmosphere. We just stayed at our table and drinks orders were taken. We had a great time and will definitely be back again! Declan and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Visited the Royal Oak on Sunday and two of us had the roast dinner which was absolutely delicious,everything cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire puddings were massive! Husband had lasagna and he said it was delicious, and the portions were all very generous The staff were all amazing,the pub was very busy and they all worked so hard to see everyone had everything they needed. Definitely recommend!!

Excellent service, the food was good. I recommend the place

My friends and I visited yesterday for lunch. A corner table near the window had been reserved for us, in a cosy dining room, which is beautifully decorated and the radiators were on full! We were waited on by a friendly chap , so no running backwards and forwards. Our delicious meals arrived piping hot and beautifully presented. Would highly recommend . Thank you

Lovely meal. Atmosphere great. Been for lunch and evening meal and neither fail to impress

Everything is always spot on. From the egg and chips girls, to the burger boys, and all inbetween. It is our "go to" place to eat, we don't need an alternative. Lovely staff, lovely food and quiet enough to have a conversation.

Really enjoyed out visit, food was great and was well looked considering how busy they were. Appreciated fitting an extra couple of people in from the original booking. Highly recommend.

A very pleasant experience. I drove 20 miles to meet friends. Great food, nice fresh veg. Lovely ambience and good service. It's a lovely pub with oak panelling and just as a pub should be. Definitely making another visit !

Very nice steak meal,lovely vegatables

Food was absolutely fantastic. Service for starters was a bit long but in their defence every single table was full so was a very busy night. Staff couldn't be more helpful.
