About The Royal Oak Staveley

The Royal Oak is a traditional country pub on the main street of the pretty North Yorkshire village of Staveley, between Knaresborough and Boroughbridge. Log fires in both the restaurant and bar promise a warm welcome as do Cath and her friendly team. Both two- and four-legged guests are welcome at The Royal Oak and there is also a large garden area to the rear with the outside seating available on a first-come, first served basis. But whether you’re eating inside or out you can enjoy fresh-cooked pub food with an international twist with main-course options ranging from Steak & Ale pie and Haddock & chips to Goan curry and Beef rendang. There are vegetarian options too and a kids menu as well as a selection of real ales and wines. The Royal Oak also has its own campsite and caravan park next door.

This was our first visit to the Royal Oak after we read the review in The Yorkshire Post recently. The portions were of a good size and the steak pie I had was huge and very tasty. However the chips I ordered were thin and and of poor quality compared with other places we have dined at. We felt the welcome and service could have been more friendly with better customer rapport. Parking was easy.

Great food and friendly people. Plenty of parking.

On the positive side, the steak pie and game pie were enjoyed and the burger was okay but the two portions of vegetable chow mein were completely lacking any flavour. One portion was bigger than the other with lots of vegetables but not many noodles, whilst the other was full of noodles but with less vegetables. This dish was extremely disappointing and certainly not worth £16.95. Additionally, one of our group was disappointed not to be able to have steak as there was none left. As this was a long-arranged birthday outing with family coming from a long distance, complaints about food would have spoilt the evening so we chose not to take it up with staff. Service didn’t compare with the majority of places around here. We felt hurried with constant checking of whether we had finished. One coffee was served with a saucer full of spillage with no recognition. Unfortunately, the table we sat at was uncomfortable as there was insufficient room to allow the chair to be drawn close to the table. We are sorry to be negative but on this occasion there were too many issues and we came to regret our choice.

Enjoyable Sunday lunch at The Royal Oak, Staveley, with my wife. We both had roast chicken which was excellent, with a good selection of vegetables. Generous portions - almost too many potatoes -but all very tasty, and perfectly cooked. The staff were polite and responsive, and it was good to have a friendly chat with Cath (the manager). Homely and tasteful decor, with welcoming roaring fires on a winter’s day. Will definitely go again.

We had the pleasure of dining at the Royal Oak not once but twice whilst staying at the Little Lodge next door over the weekend - our first meal on the Friday (Staveley Game and the Finnen) was exceptional, so much so that when we overheard the pub were offering Burns Night supper the next evening, we simply couldn’t miss out. The Haggis wellington was absolutely divine, we left very full and very satisfied! It’s no surprises to hear that this week the Royal Oak at Staveley earned Pub of The Week in the Yorkshire post - it truly is a gem of a pub, fantastic food at great value for money, warm and hospitable atmosphere, and dog friendly too! Great choice of ales and extensive wine menu to boot. We cannot wait to return to Staveley for the food! Thanks for having us.
