Quick info
About Royal Oak
Royal Oak is a pub at 9 South Rd in Porthcawl that also runs as a bar and a restaurant. The kitchen serves sit-down meals, with a mixed grill and Sunday lunch on offer. Because the pub, bar and restaurant roles share one address, a drink and a meal can happen in the same place. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring their pets along when they eat or drink. Tables need to be booked, and walk-ins may not get one.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food, with a mixed grill and Sunday lunch both singled out as cooked to perfection, hot and good value for money. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, helpful and welcoming. One group hadn't realized a table needed booking, yet one was found for them. A few mention generous portions, and one enjoyed hearing the chef sing a Christmas song from the kitchen.

“Food was lovely and hot. Served by a lovely and pleasant lady. Also a good decent meal for the price...”

“What a wonderful place. Lovely welcome by the staff,and eventhough we didn't realize we had to book a table, one was found for us. The food was absolutely amazing and the portions were good, so was the reasonable price of the dishes. Even the chef had a sense of humor as we could just about hear him giving a rendition of a Christmas song. 😂😂. We'll worth a visit. Next time we come back this way we'll pop in. Would definitely recommend the Royal Oak 👌 Thank you guys.”
