"I visited here with my extended family for a meal. It was very quiet with only a few other tables occupied. We decided on dining here due to the offer they had on which was 30% off on a Thursday. We’ve been before to take advantage of this offer as it’s such great value for money. The evening started off great. We were welcomed by the manager and shown to our table. Our order was taken promptly, again by the manager, and then our drinks arrived followed by our food. Unfortunately, it went downhill from here. I guessed the manager had gone home by this point. The two young girls serving us were so miserable, no smiles, nothing. They spent most of their time hovering at the bar, chatting. We asked one of them for more drinks and nothing happened. Eventually, after a good 10 minute wait, a gentleman arrived at our table to take our order. (He looked like the supervisor or assistant manager? We then waited a further 20 minutes with still no sign of them. By this point I was getting annoyed so I went to the bar to ask myself. The bar man said he’d bring them asap. His exact words were “My bad, I’ll bring them straight over”! My bad?! What an unprofessional comment to make! Had the bar had been busy then fair enough but, there was hardly anyone in there! The staff seemed more interested in chatting at the bar instead of looking after us. My daughter then asked one of the young girls for a spoon as she didn’t have one. This never arrived so, again I had to go and get one myself from the bar. We also had to ask for napkins, twice! Those two girls were useless. No customer service skills at all. When we asked for the bill, we noticed that the discount hadn’t been taken off. The gentleman came over and said that the offer wasn’t on?! We explained that it was even on their website! He never even asked to see the proof that it was on the website, just said sorry, no discount. We said that we weren’t happy and wanted to speak to the manager. He then disappeared for a good 10-15 minutes. We assumed he was maybe calling the manager but, no. He came back to our table and said that the offer has definitely finished so we can’t have it! He said, if you like, he could call the manager. Why had he not done this in the first instance? No idea what he had been doing for the 10 minutes we were waiting?! In the end, he spoke to the manager and the discount was taken off. It was such an effort and it ruined the whole evening. We will not be returning. Other choices available in the village with much better staff!"

We had a lovely meal at The Royal Oak this evening. The restaurant was warm and welcoming; the food delicious; the service friendly and efficient; the prices reasonable. Couldn’t ask for more.

Our first visit at The Royal Oak and this place is definitely the best around for miles. The Sunday Roast was amazing especially the gravy. My son loved the chicken fajitas and cleared his plate. Compliments to the chef team and great service too.

Give it a miss, service very poor. Long wait for food and drinks. Bar man friendly, young girls no customer service skills. Witnessed unused cutlery from table being put back in cutlery drawer (after she had picked them up off the floor when she dropped them!! Manager should get a grip on staff training over this. We won't be back.

The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We ordered drinks. They eventually said they only had one bottle of 0% lager. We were a party of three and we ordered lunch from the menu. We waited ages. The staff stood around chatting. They was much noise from the kitchen. Lots of laughing, chatting and parking about. Very loud and unprofessional. After about 40 minutes our food arrived, after I asked them how long it would be. The fish and chips was good, but the shepherdess pie was not nice at all. All in all it was very disappointing and we won’t be going again.
