Royal Oak - Menu

they were there after hard working days. they enjoy the World Cup game during the period. beautiful ambiente below the windsorburg. excellent British cuisine. highly recommended.

The Royal Oak is a great little pub, except it's more than that it's a good Michelin starred restaurant. The quality of the cooking is precise, measured, the ingredients carefully chosen and of undoubted quality.

The Royal Oak is one of thirteen Michelin starred pubs in the UK and it delivers an exemplary performance. Dominic Chapman and his team use top-quality (local) ingredients to produce rustic but carefully executed dishes that are full of flavour.

I recently made my third visit to the Royal Oak and enjoyed another marvelous and relaxed, 3 hour meal that served to confirm why this is one of my favourite places to eat in the UK. This pub was transformed in early 2007 with the arrival of Dominic Chapm

I recently revisited royal oak, paley street without knowing that michael chapman had gone. michael was a very powerful successor of dominic chapman (not in the least related) was his right man in royal oak and although he took on a somewhat different style, the kitchen was still top notch. it was only at a recent meal in the beehive, I found out that michael is now on the way in the kitchen at the hurley house (former red lion) that I will visit soon. he is replaced by james bennett.

there are certain quarters that have taken long time to shake off their call for bad eating. at a time covent garden was the culinary wasteland, full of gimmicky tourist traps and bella pastas and not much else where it would land through infall, never for purpose, poking glumly in a pasta penne, while someone arguing opera at them. now we have 10 cases, flesh buns, hawksmoor, opera tavern, 32 great queen street and soon margot by ex bar boulud paulo de tarso come, surely definitiw the prove that this is countervailing.

The 2nd part of my grouse hunt takes me to Michael Parkinson’s Michelin Starred gastropub which is located pretty much in the middle of the nowhere. You pretty much have to drive to be able to get to this pub. Having dined here a couple of times previously, this would be our first time since the departure of Dominic Chapman (who has gone on to open his own gastropub, the Beehive, not too far from here). In his place is Michael Chapman (absolutely no relation) who was previously his second in command. The pub has also undergone some renovation with the dining room expanded and a private dining room in place.

Restaurants are not like lundrettes. this may seem obvious even if they have not ever tried to order a beetroot salad in a happy clean, and they cannot think that the unequality of restaurants and wash bears is worthy to show out. but I try to make a job-rich and only vaguely relevant point here. the point is, open a lundrette too close to another lundrette and you will steal from the other who threaten the viability of both and share the customer base. Finally, they only have to do their laundry once (if they don't have many Beetroot salads) and they will only get one laundry. but as soon as an area is known for its lively dining scene, the wider availability of restaurants attracts to larg...
