The Royal Oak - Newark and Sherwood

Just had a fantastic meal at the royal oak, the staff are so friendly especially Tye who brought our meal, he was very attentive and pleasant, I had the lamb it was cooked to perfection, my parents had the fish which was so tasty, the children had pasta and loved it , I can highly recommend the food and the staff are awesome,

We were looking for Lunch on Friday, and thought we might have to drive to Newark. Having spotted lights on we thought to have a look, but we only saw boards outside offering Take Away food. As the Car Park too looked crowded for a Take Away, we got out and went inside to discover a great place to eat.

Family meal was very good everyone had literally nothing left on the plate, catered well for meal variation requests ie change of salad

I don’t know where Tim R from Birmingham visited and neither did he, having submitting the same review for 2 pubs The Royal Oak and the Grey Horse in Collingham which has been closed for over 12 months!! But it couldn’t have been the Royal Oak!!!We visited the Oak tonight for a meal and drinks and as usual we we’re welcomed enthusiastically by Stuart and his staff who couldn’t be faulted, Covid measures are in place and made feel very safe, the food and drinks are highly recommended.

Despite the comments I have read on here I opted for the lamb. I have been fortunate enough to eat in some of the best restaurants across Europe but the food I ate this evening would be the best of my life. The pigeon beast was cooked to perfection and the lamb I was offered was simply heavenly. The best supper I have ever eaten. I will be returning very soon.
