The Royal Oak - Rochford

The bar staff were excellent and the food was delicious. However, the bar itself was extremely cold. The staff mentioned they would seat us near the radiator to keep us warm, but unfortunately, the heating was not even turned on. Because of the lack of heating, I will not be returning. I don't want to spend £35 per person to sit in a freezing cold pub.

A beautiful old pub with attentive and lovely staff. The best egg, ham, and chips I've ever had. The apple and cinnamon pie was amazing.

The food at this restaurant was excellent, and the staff, especially Chloe, were fantastic in taking care of us. Enjoying after dinner drinks by the fire was a wonderful experience. Thank you once again, and Merry Christmas! We look forward to returning in the new year.

We ate in the restaurant this weekend for a family gathering. Despite us being a table of 10 and another table of 25 filling the rest of the restaurant space within half an hour we found that everything ran smoothly, staff were efficient and friendly and everyone’s food arrived promptly and as ordered. Portion sizes were more than enough, and everyone found their dishes tasty. Some ordered from the Christmas menu which we thought was great value at 3 courses for £32.95 and the beautiful Christmas decorations gave a lovely atmosphere! We’ll be back soon!

I came here for the curry night… and they did not disappoint. The beef in the Rogan Josh was so tender and flavoursome! Me and my partner also shared the sides sharing platter which consisted of homemade onion Bahjis, poppadoms and garlic naan… Homemade Bahjis with the homemade mint dip were unbelievable and would highly recommend! The Oak always has a warm and welcoming atmosphere whenever I dine, would highly recommend to anyone who wants lovely food and a great service!
