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.

Visited with friends on a Saturday evening. The pub was busy with a family vibe until around 7.30pm when it filled with a more adult crowd. I had been warned the portion sizes were generous so we ordered starters between two. We had the king prawn’s as our starter and they were delicious. Mains were great especially the beef curry. The meat was very tender and the sauce was full of flavour with a nice heat to it. The music turned loud around 10pm, which dampened our evening slightly, as we had gone there to catch up with friends, hence the 4 rating. I am sure those who like loud music would’ve loved it. The waiter was very informative and chatty, and provided an excellent service.

Really enjoyable evening. Food excellent. The Durban curry reminded me of my mothers( we came from Durban 63 years ago) . Starters were delicious and main courses plentiful and beautifully cooked. Will definitely come again.

It was our first time visiting The Royal Oak as we are new to the area and we both really enjoyed it. We ordered the Sunday roast and it was delicious. The service was fantastic too. Really lovely pub we will definitely be back again.
