Staff need a lesson in not using 'who 's next ' when there 's a queue at the bar.

The Royal Oak is located in heart of Ripon town just off the main square and offered a good range of tasty food for early lunch. Located within walking distance...

The Royal Oak offers a mixed experience, featuring a disappointing Croque Madame and limited menu options, along with tough beef cheek and lackluster desserts. However, there are highlights such as a gluten-free menu, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. The bar offers excellent food at great prices, with standout dishes like the burger and Sue's hake. The rooms are clean and spacious, with delicious meals for dinner and breakfast. Overall, The Royal Oak provides pleasant service, a warm atmosphere, and some standout menu items amid a few disappointments.
