About The Royal Oak Watford Heath

The Royal Oak has a great location on the edge of Watford Heath and the Grade II-listed building has been given a new lease of life after a recent makeover. Experienced restaurateurs Lee and Sue Colbert have revitalised the classic old pub, giving it a South African twist. You can dine inside or out and their home-cooked meals use the best locally sourced ingredients. Expect their take on a traditional British menu infused with a taste of their native city Durban. The chicken wings are legendary. Food is served from 4pm Tuesday to Thursday and from 12 noon Friday to Sunday.

It’s my favourite pub, what can I say? I always feel welcomed, the food is great, the service always friendly, the prices are reasonable, it’s a fantastic venue for a party, they make their own biltong and it’s amazing. What’s not to love?

Best and most reliably good roast in the area. Beautifully cooked, lots of meat and sides. The gravy is gorgeous and rich. The staff are really helpful and work hard to get orders/requests right. Great now do a kids Mac and cheese instead of only offering a smaller roast as makes accessible for little ones Love the location on the green.

Hi, always a great atmosphere. Service was good, we’ve been three times always on a Saturday evening. There were 4 of us, two had burgers and Mozambique chicken. Very nice and the chips awesome. My only slight disappointment was that the chicken wings portion I had seemed smaller than before. Shame as best wings anywhere !

Visited The Royal Oak on Watford Heath on the Easter Bank Holiday Monday with my partner and one year old daughter, as always the service was great from the team. Always happy and can’t do enough for you, we had ‘build your own burgers’ which tasted so good! Our daughter had the kids meal, and surprisingly she ate near enough most of her chicken Goujons peas and chips.

Booked to have a nice Easter roast before it got too busy, service was very good and was looked after from the minute we got there with a nice atmosphere outside in the sun, after living up these ways for about 3 years or more it was my first visit to the pub and wouldn't be my last.
