Six of us went for lunch with our puppy as the pub is dog friendly. Firstly, what a great experience for him; they provided a bowl of water and a bowl of dog biscuits on the table for him. There is a separate dog menu and he spent ages with his first pig's ear. For the people in the party, I can say that the food and service were great. Portions were large and the food was, on the whole, hot and tasty. We had an issue with one of the main courses but received a prompt apology and it was taken off the bill. We will definitely return.

Amazing roast dinner, service was amazing and so quick. Couldn’t do enough for us, so accommodating for my allergies too- 11/10 x

Perfect roast, lovely service. We came for a roast with my mother and family on Mother’s Day. I can’t fault your service from the week before when I was trying to book and was given solid advice, to the table service on the day. We were going to Harry Potter for the day so weren’t too sure on timescales. We thought we might be later than anticipated but ended up nearly an hour early. We were welcomed in the bar, and enjoyed a drink on the sofa whilst we waited for our table. Our roasts were impeccable, and with two chefs at the table, we’re not always happy! So thank you for making our mothersday meal special.

We went here for Mother’s Day and sat in the outside structure had a fantastic meal. The combo roast dinner for the adults and kids was excellent and the Red Velvet cheesecake was amazing. Would highly recommend .

Food and drinks were amazing, as always! And we did the quiz for the first time which was so so much fun! X

Lovely Saturday lunch. Generous portions, friendly service which welcomes dogs.

The service, food and ambiance were 1st class. We will definitely go back to again

What a wonderfully refreshing experience! Booked for my birthday and was instantly greeted by the lovely charming landlady who basically went out of her way to alert all the staff members that it was my birthday and spoil us rotten all night. Whilst the drinks flowed (Pornstar Martinis on tap top notch and Beavertown Neck Oil, Bierra Morettis, Malbecs), she served up a rather choolatey shot which was delicious! Crispy calamari for starters wow then main courses of bunny chow what flavours and biltong spiced ribeye, all tremendous. The rugby was on but not overbearing, the atmosphere for the occasion was spot on! All in all, a most memorable and wonderful night, the staff were amazing... and the dog loved it! Thank you Royal Oak, we'll be back for sure!!

Birthday Sunday lunch at the king stag , 20/3/22 … inc a one year old- bar staff were friendly and tolerate of a one year old - food and service were superb . Will definitely return

I have been 3 times now, service is great, people are so friendly and the food is unreal. My favourite eating spot in Bushey! Fantastic for gluten free too.

The food was very good and service good, also we had a wheelchair person in our party . And they were very accommodating with her. They didn't have wheelchair access at the moment, but said they will be putting it in. We would definitely go back in the future.

Food and staff were lovely! Customer service was lovely and the food was homemade and 100% worth the menu, would definitely and would come again.

Delicious! Great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere and clean premises.

We are local and are regulars here. Luckily in bushey they are plenty of delicious options for food, however the horse and chains is certainly one of the best. Exceptional food and exceptional service as always. If you haven’t been yet, I urge you to!!

Consistently good food, service and atmosphere. We’ve never had anything but a fabulous meal here. Especially recommend Sunday lunch, it’s only second to the ones my mother makes at home.

Myself, a friend and my aunt came to dine with you on wednesday evening. Can't fault you at all....friendly, chatty, service was excellent. The food was impeccable, we will 100% return again Thank you for having us

Very tasty and food served in generous portions. Quick and discreet service. Just a tiny minus note on the seating allocation, we were quite close to the door on a windy and cold Sunday and we did not realise the main door lead directly to the dining area.

Superb food and drink. Great staff. Who wants anything more!!!?? Only (very minor) gripe, it's a bit dark in places
