  “Really lovely pub. We visited on a sunny day and sat out in the generous garden. Fabulous for the kids, safe, toys and sheep in the next door field! The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The staff couldn't have been nicer so all in all a great experience.”

  “This morning we had the pleasure of finding the best cooked breakfast establishment in Northampton to say it was perfect is an understatement, Top quality food, cooked and presented for a very very reasonable price. The interaction with all the staff members was very friendly and engaging. There is inside and outside seating so no issues whatever the weather. If you like a cooked breakfast I can promise you won’t be disappointed. 10/10 will definitely be back next week 👍”

  “We had a lovely meal here, all clean plates for mains and deserts. Good garden on a sunny day well fenced and easy to keep an eye on kids, well served bitters. Different offers on certain days. Good food would recommend.”

  “Been a few times lovely, great food great service dog friendly in the bar and terrance and they serve a great Sunday lunch crunchy roast potatoes, lovely homemade pate, beautifully cooked meats, the service was spot on and they always try and accommodate tables. The only tiny downside the kitchen soaked the roast in gravy and if you been asked to serve separately please do as for me it made it too wet and I couldn’t eat something’s (texture issue) other than that perfect family run pub local ingredients and lovely staff”

  “We have just enjoyed a Mothers Day lunch at the Royal Oak. The menu gave us a wide choice and we weren’t disappointed. The food was delicious and we were very well looked after. It was a real treat for me and my family.”

  “A really lovely venue, a very great menu with some really interesting dishes. A good selection of beer and other drinks, was warm and welcoming. Would have been 4 stars however for the price the food could have been a little better, mainly the steak was a bit fatty and when pointed out to the staff they were barely apologetic, and more had a 'oh well' attitude. Would go back and give it another go.”

  “Charming pub with excellent food. What a gem of a pub is the Royal Oak. They have a good one way system in place to keep you safe and a book to record visitors for track and trace. The bar area is well laid out with a good selection of beers and sprits and looks like it have been recently been refurbished keeping the charm and features from the original building. The dinning room also looks like it has recently been refurbished. Once again very in keeping with the original building but very stylish with a modern theme. The menu is short but plentiful - something for everyone. We ordered and our food arrived swiftly. The presentation was spot on and tasted even better than it looked. Our mains also looks good on the plate and were super tasty and perfectly cooked. We didn't have a dessert as we were full! This pub is a real gem of a find and we will definitely be back at some point depending on the covid situation.”

  “Just popped in for a quick pint on the way back from exploring the delights of Castle Ashby. Fabulous pint of Tring beer, and was pleasantly surprised that the choice of ales included 2 under 4%; which is rare and great for the pop in pint crowd, or sessioners 👌🏼 We didn't eat but had a look at the week and weekend menus that looked varied and extremely tasty. The reccomendation from a local was the pie using the local cheese! We will be back soon to try the food for sure! We were made to feel incredibly welcome by the friendly and helpful staff! A certain reccomendation. **Watch out for the food review soon! **”
