The Royal Oak - West Oxfordshire

I went in today to ask if I could use the toilet as I am 32 week pregnant, and an older male staff told me the toilet is only for customers. I was not impressed with the hospitality and don't think we would come here for food in the future.

Rude owner, food was poor standard and didnt look cooked. Overpriced and poor. Really not expected as previous experience average/good.

Nice and clean,lovely atmosphere,good friendly service,but alas the food was average and bland

This is a lovely pub in a great location. However the food was extremely overpriced and pretty average. You simply can’t charge top rates for basic pub grub. As much as I would love to return I simply could not justify it on a value for money basis.

Decided to pop in and break from my usual as this place has reopened following refurbishment. It’s very much an eatery as opposed to a bar and initially I wasn’t sure and was about to leave if it were not for a very attentive staff member who found me a nice table by the window. It’s order at the bar but they do explain that and make you feel very welcome so not having table service as such is not a problem. I ordered the fish cakes nice in flavour although slightly overdone and too crispy on the outside for fish cakes but nice nonetheless. It’s an aging demographic in here 50 years plus but I still would bring my 23 year old daughter for a nice meal. Downside no kids under 5 for me an issue as I can’t bring my grandkids shame. Upside no kids under 5 for me and hubby when we want a nice quiet meal
