Came here the back end of last year for the first time. Found it a nice environment to dine and was well looked after. We all had 3 courses and was very pleased with each one. Cheesecake was the star of the

A very pleasurable experience. Lovely people and top notch cuisine. I would advise to call first to reserve any speciality dish as they do have a quick turnover. Danny was very attentive.Parking: Good parking space.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps and disabled facilities

Great choice of food and good quality we had the Fish and chips as they were on offer at half price on a Wednesday and didn't disappoint, the staff were friendly and helpful

Nice environment but a little chilly near the window. Staff were friendly. Menu varied, nice food, freshly cooked, no grease. A little overpriced

Very disappointing evening at the Royal Oak. Previously we have had exceptional meals here so recommended to friends that we should eat here on New Year's Eve.Our friends booked the table via the online booking and received confirmation of our time of 6.40pm. However on arrival we were told we'd come at the wrong time, we had to prove to staff that we were at the correct time but staff made no apology for their mistake just pointed us to an available table.All but one special was already sold out at 6.40pm and many of the main menu items were also unavailable. Which we found disappointing for these to be sold out so early in the evening. This meant that out choices were limited.My husband and I chose cod cheeks for starters. These were basically 3 battered fish balls, the batter was greasy and flavourless. Our friends had the garlic mushrooms which had very few mushrooms and a lot of bread.For mains I had the hanging chicken kebab which was tasty but my plate seemed to be overwhelmingly full of peppers as the salad had peppers and the kebab had peppers. My husband and one friend had sea bass. This was served in a bag that was wrapped in tin foil. For a presentation point of view it looked messy and from a burnt finger point of view it was nearly impossible to open. My husband commented that it was tasteless which he was disappointed with as he loves Thai inspired flavours. Our friend had requested chips with hers but was told chef won't do that!The final meal was beef ragu. This looked very dry but our friend stated the pasta was wet and soggy.Finally deserts. Everything on the menu was dairy based so that meant I was unable to have anything.My husband had chocolate brownie which he said was OK. Our friends ordered a lemon meringue pie to share. However it was tiny. So they were very disappointed.The atmosphere was dull with no music and staff polite but unfriendly. As we left there were no smiles or thank you for coming.Overall it was a disappointing experience ?Dietary restrictions: No dairy alternative on dessert menu ?

Went here for our Xmas meal. I started with poached pear, goats cheese and balsamic salad,which was unexpectedly good the had a salmon main course with seasonal veg, which was perfectly cooked and very tasty. For desert I had a sticky toffee pudding which was absolutely glorious. Most of my friends had roasts, topped with massive Yorkshire puddings. Since we went during the run up to xmas, the bar are was very crowded and w had to wait for our table to be ready in th the restaurant area. Overall I was very happy and will be taking friends there at the next opportunity.

I rang to reserve a specific table 8 days before our planned visit, and was told by the gentleman I spoke to that it was available, so he reserved it for us. On arrival we were told the table was reserved for someone else, when I told the staff that we had reserved it, I was told there was no specific table against my name. This is, at best, very bad management, but we had the feeling our booking had been purposely changed to accommodate the other guests.

The food was very good and the service polite and efficient. Overall we thought it overpriced and £6 for a pint of beer is outrageous.

Heard excellent reviews about this restaurant and decided to try it out for ourselves...we were not disappointed. Delicious food...ambient surroundings...attentive, polite and professional staff...Ladies facilities...squeaky clean (it matters)...and my very fussy husband said the Seabass was "scrumptious" Praise indeed. We will be back x

This is a lovely restaurant with very polite and friendly staff. We do use the restaurant often and the food has always been up to a great standard. However I now feel they have stepped up another gear and the food is of an even higher standard. Would definitely recommend trying it. If you just want pub food the bar is also very comfortable, but may still need to book a table because it gets. Wry busy on a weekend. I would also recommend booking the restaurant any time of the week because it is busy everyday
