Fantastic Sunday lunch- thank you!

Excellent food and service.

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.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Staff are always so friendly.

Really nice evening, Lovely friendly waitress, who didn’t forget us between courses and drinks and great food..,… lots of familiar faces

Superb - the perfect local ! Lovely food. Delightful and friendly staff. The food is lovely and fresh and of a very high standard . Thank you . Very happy and can fully recommend xx

Fantastic food and service, thoroughly enjoyed

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.

Had a large group booking to celebrate our upcoming wedding. Food was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and attentive :)

A lovely evening - great service - food lovely too. Only gripe was the calamari was a bit chewy - the batter around it delicious tho’. Their South African burger is amazing. The sea bass fillets are also great - as was the Buffalo chicken burger. Highly recommended.

When we got to the venue we were waiting at the bar so we could check in, the barista greated us in a quite abrupt manner and when e told her we had a table booked she asked one of the young guys and then just told us our table was number 6 and we were left to find the table ourselves. We sat ourselves down at our table which was next to a very loud group of 10 people. We were going to ask the easier if we could change tables in a quieter area however, there was another group that came in after us, they sat down after us and the waist started taking their order first and ignored us, so we walked out. The fact that you're sending this email to me today to find out how our meal was said that you didn't even notice we were gone. Chittlehampton tell you how the food was d we never got to have any. We really want to support local businesses but we also like good service. We went to our usual white lion where we always get great service, great environment and great food. We will not visit you 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.

The BEST Sunday dinner I’ve ever had in 17 years in the UK (second only to my mothers)… we’ll be back again soon

Excellent food and The Royal Oak is my favourite pub in Watford. Have eaten there many times.

Great food, great service and lovely outdoor area. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for a great Friday evening, we all enjoyed ourselves. Food, service and atmosphere all excellent.

Great evening, very attentive staff, and really good food. Recommended.

Just me and the wife and our fur baby. Such a warm and tentative welcome, nothing is too much trouble. Food excellent, as usual.
