Very impressed from first freindly greeting on arrival. Table was ready, the menu is wery good pub grub. Two of us had brocolli and stilton soup starters from the specials board, which was excellent Three of us had pies from the main menu, all agreed they were exceptional in the quality of the pastry and the generous fillings.

Food was absolutely amazing. Fresh and tasty. I’m glad we booked here. The pub was quiet when we arrived and during our meal but it was quite early but it got busier after 12:30 ish. The music was nice and the staff were amazing and attentive. Service was quick and they couldn’t help enough for anything you asked! 10/10 would return.

Never disappointed with the food and service when I eat at the Royal Oak. I keep coming back which speaks for itself. Shame I was sat next to a large noisy group on my last visit but that certainly is not the restaurant's fault.
