Love the food. Football was on and would probably have preferred it it was not - but did mean lively atmosphere, and TV turned back down as soon as game finished

Only downside was a dog at the next table which barked frequently. I've nothing against dogs in restaurants, but I think staff should make it very clear to customers if they hear a dog barking frequently that it's not acceptable. From the faces of other diners, I wasn't the only one thinking this.

A friendly welcome. A pleasantly located table not laid when we arrived. Excellent Wadworth's 6X cask Ale to drink. Very nice roast lamb but let down a little by accompaniments. Superb Raspberry Eton Mess for pud. Served with two spoons and easily enough for two. Would probably go back but not for a Sunday roast.

Holidaying in local area & decided to try a local pub for Sunday lunch, and I'm glad we chose The Royal Oak. The roast beef was a good size, very hot & absolutely delicious! I had to try the waffle for dessert which needed the scoop of ice-cream to lift it, but was charged extra £2.95 for it which makes it a pricey dessert. The ice cream should have been included with the dessert imo. My only complaint was the sourdough roll for the starter which was very doughy, slices of bread would have been better and there wasn't enough balsamic vinegar in the pot with olive oil. All in all a good meal, with friendly attentive staff.
