  “Met up with Family for Birthday celebration. Not been in for a long while,however,I was pleasantly surprised with the improvements made since my last visit. Great atmosphere with an eclectic mix of local customers and live entertainment (singer/guitarist). Ordered food late on,no problem...prices are very competitive,including the large variety of drinks on offer. Staff were excellent and very helpful...all in all a great experience 👍🏻”

  “Took 1 hour 30min for food to arrive. It wasn’t busy so can not understand why. When food did come it wasn’t anything to rave about. I love Greene King pubs but this one is not like the others. It’s great if you want to watch the football and have a drink, would not recommend food. Tall male member of staff with glasses doesn’t seem to have any customer service skills, I find his mannerism quite demeaning. Feels more like a football local than a family pub. Like I say want to watch football and have a drink perfect place. Family meal, wouldn’t recommend.”

  “If you’re looking for a place to test your patience, The Royal Oak in Chorlton is truly outstanding. We went for Sunday dinner and, despite knowing there was a Manchester United game on (fair enough), it’s worth noting that our party was practically the only one ordering food. Hardly a kitchen under siege — yet we waited over an hour for our food, which we had to chase up twice. Plenty of time to reflect on life choices. When the food finally arrived, it wasn’t so much served as launched onto the table. No attempt to check who had ordered what — just plates dumped in front of us like a lucky dip. The plates themselves were scorching hot, carried out using what appeared to be a towel that had previously seen action during an oil change. Presumably this was to distract from the fact that the food itself was lukewarm at best. A bold strategy. While we were eating, not once did anyone check if everything was okay — almost as if they already knew the answer would be no. The overall service was poor from start to finish, with no sense of care, urgency, or basic hospitality. Sunday dinner should be comforting — this was anything but. First and last visit. 0/10.”

  “Possibly my first visit since 1976. For many years this was a Fizz only pub. Paulicarus thinks it was a Whitbread pub back in the day. Popped in as it is now a Greene King pub with a Casque Mark. Oddly only two real ales but 4 real ciders from Lilley's. Greene King IPA or Golden Hen..Paulicarus chose the later. Very good pint. It is a large traditional pub totally opened up around the central bar. I remember the old multi room pub. Bright and airey with piped music, TV's and pool tables to the rear. Typical Greene King menu. Always good value.”

  “Absolutely love that live music is back at The Royal oak. I only popped in for a roast and I was pleasantly surprised to find Live music playing, apparently it was an Open mic night and it is now on every week! I also got told about the Thursday night Quiz and The Monday Night Rock n Roll Bingo which sounds fab, I will definitely be back very very soon!!! And these Passion fruit cocktails were gorgeous 😍🍸 Highly recommend, amazing pub grub, fab atmosphere and friendly staff.”
