"We booked for Sunday lunch as vegetarians after seeing they offered a nut roast on their website but turned up to find the only vegetarian option was mushroom tortellini with Parmesan on it (NOT vegetarian). We asked the staff if there was a veggie roast option as stated on the website and we were told no but they could do a standard roast without the meat. We asked if that meant the gravy and potatoes were vegetarian and were told no both are not. Meaning they either would have knowingly served us meat products OR given us a plate of cauliflower cheese and vegetables and charged us for a roast dinner… All of this could have been avoided if their website was up to date, wasted journey and time, please update your website to save other people from the same experience!"

Very quiet part of the pub with no atmosphere at all.

Lovely pub but the barman struggled to smile. Perhaps be a bit more welcoming?

The Royal Oak, in a word, is perfect. The food is great, served by friendly staff, in a fantastic setting. The decor, menu and drinks selection are spot on too. There is now a great kids play area outside as well. We've been twice and will be back again!

We ate on Friday evening, when the pub was full to bursting, but we were attended to immediately and the staff were efficient and cheerful it was good to see somewhere fully staffed! The food was excellent. We returned on Saturday evening, when it was far less busy, and everything was still to the same high standard.

we had Sunday Lunch and really enjoyed it, there was plenty to eat, the greens served with the meals were a mix which makes a pleasant change rather than a dish of cabbage or broccolli, which i cannot stand. the food was served hot and reasonably quickly despite it being busy. desserts were excellent and a good choice. A tip before you order, check the specials board in the Bar. good service pleasant staff. Atmosphere, for me I wasn't happy , there was a couple of parties in and the noise coupled with the high ceiling made it very difficult to hear, I struggled as I wear hearing aids to be fair, but others in our group said the same. All the same I would recommend the restaurant and we will...
