What Daniel Orzelek likes about Royal Oak:
Out for a family afternoon playing golf and pop in on our way home. The bar maid was friendly and welcoming the food was very good and reasonable priced. Will definitely go back. View all feedback. What maxinemV302CL doesn't like about Royal Oak:
Cheap burger, salty. Fried eggs burnt on underside and crinkle cut chips of poor quality. Another customer sent their food back to be heated up. Pub looks nice on the outside and ok inside, friendly staff, but food very poor. What a shame. View all feedback.

Excellent tasting food. Very good quality and definitely value for money. Lamb shank was best I’ve tasted. Desert was delicious too.

The reviews for The Royal Oak are quite mixed, with some customers being disappointed by the quality of the food, while others raved about the friendly service and delicious carvery options. Despite some complaints of cold food and limited menu choices, many appreciated the accommodating staff and cozy atmosphere. The Sunday carvery seemed to be a hit with customers, offering a good selection of meats and vegetarian options. However, inconsistencies in food temperature and neglect of the garden were noted. Overall, The Royal Oak seems to have a loyal customer base that appreciate the home-cooked feel of the food and the warm hospitality of the staff.
