    I had opted for the beef roast my food was cold and the beef needed a hacksaw to cut through it. I had a side order of pigs in blankets that looked like they had been cooked in the deep fat fryer! The roast spuds was from the freezer , my husband had fish and chips and he said they was really nice , so disappointed

    There were four of us and we had booked a table even though the pub wasn’t that busy. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Food arrived in a timely manner and portions were large. My husband and I did not enjoy our food, the beef patty of the hamburger had a smell that wasn’t very pleasant. The onion rings were delicious but heavy. Our adult kids though loved their lasagna and fish& chips. The hummus starter was a7/10. We all loved their lasagna music playing!!

We're delighted to hear that you found our staff friendly and accommodating, and that your adult kids enjoyed their meals. We appreciate your feedback on the hamburger and onion rings, and we'll certainly look into this. It's great to know the lasagna and music were hits with your group. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience. Best regards, The Royal Oak Team
