  “We visited on a Saturday afternoon and surprisingly it was quite quiet, I understand that this is not usual, but as a result the atmosphere was a little tepid. The food however was excellent and the service outstanding we would definitely return. Lovely big garden area and a a historic and characterful Pub. Lots of parking and plenty of space.”

  “This is a country club, our B$B hostess recommended it. We have the Mezze Board - everything is fresh, too quality and fresh. We’re so glad for our choice. There are different themes seating and spacious outdoor dining areas.”

  “Had a lovely time even if my husband did spill his drink all over my brand new white trousers, however the amazing staff team help me laugh it off and cleaned up the mess in no time. After that I enjoyed a beautiful burger that was so filling I couldn’t fit it all in. Such a shame as the deserts coming out of the kitchen looked amazing (my own fault, I shouldn’t have had such a big lunch) before going out in the evening. Franky and the team have things down to a T”

  “We booked for one night and enjoyed it so much that we went back again the following night! The food is superb, and thank you to Galyna and Justin for making us feel special and well looked after. Compliments to the whole team! A highly recommended stop if you are in the area.”

  “Pub setting is Beautiful from the outside and adds to the welcome experience. We went for a Wednesday 7pm dinner. Two of had a great tasting soup and loved the bread and butter (good attention to detail). Tempura battered haddock was ok. Decent chips, top mushy peas and good tartare sauce. But the fish wasn’t 100% cooked for my liking and the batter was slightly too oily for me. 4 stars. Atmosphere lacked compared to the few places we reviewed in the area this week.”

  “LOVE this pub! Great food, welcoming and accomdating staff, excellent garden area and cosy inside! We went to their summer festival this year which was packed but didnt feel crowded. The people added to the atmosphere and everyone was just having a good time and being friendly! Food was great too and the music was buzzing! They also host a retro and classic vehicles meet for Retro_scrr (next one is Sept 30th 2025) which is fun to join in if you have an old motor or just to come and look at what turns up for the nostalgia. Im not even that local but this is my go to when I want a decent pub dinner or social drink”

  “Absolutely cannot fault our visit here. Service was attentive and lighthearted and the food was spectacularly good. We opted for the Christmas 3 course set menu, which was delicious, inventive and beautifully presented. Such a fun afternoon and great value. We will definitely be back!”

They made our day beyond amazing, and it was so smooth sailing and easy. They are friendly, welcoming, attentive, nothings a problem attitude, creative, excellent communication. We couldn't have wished for a better team to host our day!! The venue is stunning!!!! From beautiful countryside and views, to the stunning marquee. The team decorated the marquee for us and it was stunning (see photos). The food was delicious and we are constantly hearing feedback from our guests with just how amazing and plentiful the food was at the wedding. From start to finish, we really couldn't recommend this pub enough. It's stunning. The team are stunning. Thank you so much to the royal oak. You rock!!!! Xxxxx Chloe and Lu”
