About The Royal Oak
The Royal Oak is a pub in Halesowen, on Manor Ln, serving British pub food alongside a draught beer selection. The menu includes steaks, with gammon steak and sirloin steak both listed, and a burger called the ultimate burger. A buffet is also part of the offer. The pub holds a quiz regularly, which gives regulars and groups of friends a set event to plan around. A beer garden sits outside, and it hosts band nights in the summer.

“A disappointing meal to say the least, combined with poor customer service. Was told there was a delay on food - absolutely fine. Food took longer than we …”

“Exceptional friendly service from the front of house team - Vanessa & Tracy. Great tasting food, presented well. Plenty of variety and options in the menu.”
- Izzy Harris
“I visited the Royal Oak last week and had an ultimate burger. The food is something else, it’s on a whole new level very delicious. I got served by Vanessa a very cheerful and lovely worker at the Royal Oak! It has a very homely feel and the beer garden is always amazing in the summer (especially when it’s band night) I recommend the Royal Oak highly to anyone who has not been before!!!!”

“We arrived at 2pm ordered gammon steak £12.79p and medium rare sirloin steak £17.79 order arrived at £2-40pm there was a few chips on the plate and my steak can only be described as burnt. It was taken back and my husband had finished his meal, so I asked for a refund received £17.79 back. We were just leaving and they bought my second meal picture added. This one wasn’t so burnt but virtually inedible, and chewy, I had to eat something as we were visiting someone really poorly in hospital, so knew I wouldn’t have chance to eat elsewhere and would be staying, perhaps all night at the hospital, but by this time I had completely gone off the meal. So left most of it. Picture included. The restaurant was less than a quarter full so they wasn’t even busy. Certainly wouldn’t recommend the food here. The staff member was polite and apologised, but I said I know it’s not your fault I didn’t get angry. It’s a difficult job. It’s just the quality of food.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split. One praises the ultimate burger as very delicious and describes a homely feel, and another mentions a beer garden on band nights. Others cite friendly front of house staff, plentiful menu variety and a regular pub quiz. The main complaint is a sirloin steak that arrived burnt and chewy after a long wait, with a refund given and a replacement still inedible.
