Went for sunday lunch a week ago. The beef was quality, the roast potatoes were done really really well (crunchy, not soggy or too dry, and were coated with herbs, which was nice), decent roasted reg, and some really, truely amazing stuffing. Yorkshire lacked crunch but still had good flavour, so I coped. All in all, it was a high-effort roast by the Royal Oak and worth the money.Hospitable service. Good food and atmosphere.

Booked in for Sunday lunch and sat down to be told several items including the only vegan option not available. Fortunately there was a vegetarian option, this and meat roast could be best described as mostly edible. Wished we had left rather than chancing it. Discount was offered and gratefully received.

Ate here last night with friends. Two members of staff to cover the bar and restaurant and service was poor, food mediocre, tasted like it'd all been pre cooked and heated up again. The cod was surrounded in a huge amount of tomato style sauce, sprouts hadn't been prepared properly. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't return.

Recently reopened under new management so thought I'd give it a try. Very disappointing... no atmosphere, very poor hospitality and service. Food was 'ok' but not what I would have expected based on how it was before.Definitely will not return or

Small but adequate seating. Meals were large and very good.

Good location but very disappointed in the welcome, atmosphere, service and food- Sunday lunch. Under new management who, to be honest, are novices and appeared to have little experience of how to run a restaurant.

Great Sunday roast here and dog friendly.Edit: Nov 2023 - after two recent visits here it's fair to say the quality of the food has fallen dramatically. Would not recommend currently.

Saturday evening visit, ate in the restaurant. Friendly staff and excellent service. Good value food and it was served quickly and piping hot. I had the pie which was lovely.... The mash, veg and gravy were a bit average, I'd make better at home. But overall, a good experience.... More pub grub than restaurant quality.

Went when we heard about new menu. Went at lunchtime. Enjoyed 2 lots of 3 tapas for £12 for 3 of us. Good value, good portion size, delicious. Nice eating area at rear. Only reason not 5 stars is poor table service. Had to ask if we needed to order at bar or at table. Told table service but no one came even though we were seen by several staff. In the end had to catch someone's attention. Food did come in a reasonable time and staff did check all was OK. Would go again and try evening menu.
