Friendly greeting. The food was lovely - beautifully cooked and very hot - in very generous portions. Helpful, attentive service. Not cheap, but certainly not dreadfully dear either. Very good value,

Went to the Royal Oak to celebrate my Mums 89th Birthday. Cannot fault the place the food or the service. Will certainly go back and would not hesitate to recommend. My Mum enjoyed her treat and on the way home said she would like to return for her 90th. My Mum is hard to please so that in itself speaks volumes for the place. I plan to return on my birthday in November.
