Fantastic Sunday lunch , great service

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.

Best roast out for a long time,. Great atmosphere and great music

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.

Loved our evening at the Royal Oak. we arrived a bit early and the landlord did a great job of getting us seated and fed. Food was great too

Excellent afternoon at The Oak, big thanks to Sue, Lee, the bar staff and kitchen staff for an enjoyable birthday get together for hubby. All of the party had a great time!!

Had a great Easter Sunday roast at The Royal Oak hosted by Sue. The food's fantastic, especially the roasts, burgers & wings. Highly recommended, give it a try, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Quiz night..Great food, great service great music and great atmosphere We all enjoyed our evening and will return

Excellent Mac'n'Cheese. Quick friendly service. Sad so few people in the pub but it was a Tuesday.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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. Normally roast dinners are hit and miss when eating out but the Royal Oak kitchen has it spot on. Will definitely be back. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Love that it’s dog friendly too!
