Had a wonderful evening at The Royal Oak. Food, service and the staff were all amazing. We both had the pies which were out of this world. They are a must. Great wine list too. Highly recommend we will be back.

Lovely atmosphere! Cosy and warm, what one imagines a Cotswold pub to be. Delicious Sunday roast with 3 choices - beef, lamb and pork. Fresh vegetable mix plus cauliflower au gratin, roast potatoes and a delicious Yorkshire pudding. No scimping on the gravy

Great food and the service was really good too. We are local and have not been for a while but certainly was not disappointed. The pies were really good, our son had the pork/apple/black pudding and said it was really good but a little too sweet. Our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed it all. The only disappointment for me was I wished they would do sweet potato fries as I cannot eat normal potatoes 😊

Everything was great my only criticism was the table (No 11) was a bit small and it was uncomfortable sitting on the bench, which was also very narrow.

Excellent pie let down by reheated chips which were bitty , onions rings hadn’t got enough batter on them very greasy, no one did a check back after the food came out , but asked at the end !! Someone on the next table kept clearing his throat very annoying!!
