Fantastic place, superb atmospheres good food and staff that can't do enough for you
A great day of Vintage dance and entertainment at The Royal Oak, prior to the day of Bank Holiday Cartmel Races. Super food.. great owner and staff. Fun!
Wheelchair access is tricky because of cobblestones and a pothole in front of the entrance. Loos are on a level surface but very small. A large part of the interior is accessible but not the conservatory or the beer garden. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food and drink are excellent.
Only popped in for a drink. They are dog friendly which is brilliant. They have a nice garden plus a sort of conservatory. They serve comfort food fish and chips etc, but didn't have a chance to try any.
Really friendly staff. The kitchen took our order a few minutes before their scheduled end of dinner service which, having previously worked in hospitality, is a rarity. Terrific selection of beers that you wouldn't even find in a taphouse in central Brighton or Manchester. The first place I've found in the UK serving dunkel beer!!
Dog friendly is a bonus and they put up with our bouncy girl.
Came here for my 50th birthday. We had a lovely Sunday roast, which is the best I've had. Staff are lovely and friendly. There is a lovely stream nearby, where your dogs can play in. Ask for thr cauliflower cheese, it's the best!!
Regularly enjoy Sunday lunch here. Highly recommend a visit to anyone in the Cartmel area. Great food, beautifully cooked meats, imaginative vegetables, best roast spuds for miles, gravy, and extra gravy available! As I'm a Lancashire Lass, I was born with gravy in my veins, so this is a very important and impressive feature of Royal Oak Sunday Lunch! Sit outside on a lovely day, cosy up inside on cold and/or rainy days, or there's the conservatory for the in-between weather! Service is always absolutely impeccable and noteworthy. I really appreciated the lovely person in charge who noticed my dad was disabled and unsteady on his feet and so just seated him at the closest table and just swapped the reservation signs around to save him walking further than absolutely necessary. Whether you want a leisurely, relaxed, tasty, and friendly Sunday lunch experience or a good night out with friends and tasty food and events mid week, give The Royal Oak a try. You won't regret it, or its warm Cumbrian welcome or, indeed, the lovely cheerful service of all their engaging and interesting international bar staff members.
A decent village pub with an exceptional beer garden. The food was good without being spectacular. A year ago prices wouldn't have been as hiked as they seemed to me. £7 for loaded fries. £8 for two pretzels. £15 for a main. A meal for four with two rounds of drinks came in about £100.
The food was delicious with great plate presentation. We had the roasted squash & the chicken schnitzel. Dog-friendly.

Our new ‘local’ having moved to Cark. Lovely welcoming staff and fine drinks available. Thank you for being there!
First time visiting, lovely pub, food was nice, good selection to drink and a warm atmosphere, will be going again.
Popped in for some dinner as we were staying near by for a few days for our holiday. Food was lovely and was recommended the locally brewed 0.5% ale which was lovely! Staff and service all good…overall a nice pub.
