What Miriam Uhrig doesn't like about The Royal Oak:
The leek potato soup had grit from the leeks in it and we found out the fries and other ingredients are frozen, which was very obvious in the low quality taste too. Very unfortunate, considering the interior is very cozy and cute. View all feedback. What Sharon Valtchanovescu likes about The Royal Oak:
Good for meals. Staff friendly prices reasonable. Recommend the steal or the ribs. Healthy portions. Really nice. OK to drop in but appears to get busy later in the evening suggest booking. Free parking. View all feedback.

Lovely traditional pub with friendly staff serving great food. The only drawback, no local draught beers.
