Reviews in Watford

A brilliant family venue with the best Sunday roast in Watford. Staff are all very friendly and the whole atmosphere is homely and pleasant.

Great evening meal with friends and friendly staff.

Great roast beef Sunday lunch, and a decent pint! Thanks!

Had a fantastic lunch staff friendly and helpful. A really quaint setting for Sunday lunch. Food was amazing and a great choice of food. Probably one little criticism is the roast potatoes were a bit aunt Bessie's. The rest of the food was excellent.

Lovely food great service Lovely atmosphere staff and Owners very friendly would definitely recommend this place

Back again for the most amazing buffalo wings ever and chips. Service was amazing and bailey loved sitting in the garden. We will be back again

Another great family meal at the Royal Oak. The roast dinners are delicious, the portions generous and the service friendly. Would highly recommend!

Been coming to this pub for more than 30 years seen many new landlords etc ! Something right for me to keep coming back… Food was good , mine was a tad dry but probably chose the wrong thing we were 5 and all said how nice food was. Friday lunch time quiet to start but got busier as the day went on !

Came for the first time in a few years for a Sunday Roast with the family. The food was tasty and I would come back. As I was emailed and asked to leave a review I will add, we were disappointed that when asking for some extra gravy, we were told you had to pay an extra £3.50 and the reason being was because it was 'homemade' and not granules. When paying over £23 per roast dinner, I would have expected it was homemade anyway. I think when you are ordering bottles of wine, starters and roast dinners, being asked to pay an additional cost for a small amount of gravy leaves a sour taste in your mouth. I'd much rather there be an extra 50p on everyones meals and people feel like you can ask for some more gravy with your roast, without being charged. Overall we had a great day, but that would be my constructive feedback x

Nice and friendly staff ,food was very tasty bit on the expensive side but very nice ,will definitely go again

Came for a snacky lunch on a Saturday. First time since taken over. Staff were attentive and very friendly. Food was very nice and not overly expensive. Atmosphere great as usual.

Had a fabulous meal here with friends first time since it's been taken over. We will definitely be back.

AMAZING FOOD!! The Sunday roast was SUPERB, and probably the tenderest (is that a word?! LoL!) beef i had in a VERY long time! Just fell off the bone! Delicious!

The steak meal was excellent. Staff polite and provided good service as always.

Sunday roast at 3pm was disappointing - overcooked veggie roast and potatoes and black charcoal on Yorkshire Pud. High table and chairs very awkward to sit on.. couldn’t bring high legged chair close enough to the table as couldn’t reach the floor to move it!

This is not the first time we have been here and won't be the last .We Brought family here to eat and as usual it was excellent they were very impressed with the food.There is a lovely welcome feel in this pub everyone is very nice.

Excellent Sunday roast! Highly recommended :)

I booked a table in the beer garden to celebrate my friend's birthday. We were given a table with a parasol, which was ideal as it was a hot day and we wouldn't have wanted to sit directly in the sun. We had table service with the booking and the staff were very attentive and patient while we chose our drinks/meal, coming back frequently to check if we were ready to order. We all had a roast, which was delicious- the meat just fell off the bone and it came with an amazing rich gravy. All the accompanying potatoes and vegetables were freshly cooked and lovely too.
