We booked a Sunday Roast here in May on the weekend of the coronation. We were staying at a B&B nearby, and this seemed a great option. After we were ignored for a few minutes, we were finally greeted by the owner, who led us to our table, and was quite cordial. But I will admit that first impressions had me a bit worried. Our waitress was delightful. The turkey roast was plentiful and delicious. Well worth our taking the time to visit here.
We recently came for a meal here the food was delicious and well presented. The portion sizes are not skimpy and well presented. We would definitely recommend it. We also like the fact it looks like a proper country pub perfectly in keeping with a village. If you want a lovely meal in beautiful surroundings then give The Royal Oak in Staveley a try you will certainly not be disappointed. Thanks everyone.
Another lovely family meal out, was a little disappointed with the portion sizes as they seemed smaller from our last visit. The food was very yummy as usual.
My only gripe in relation to the service is how the older lady spoke to us. She can sometimes be really friendly and make you feel welcome and other times seems lose her people skills.
I know people can have a bad day, but this isn't the first time this has happened. Hopefully on our next visit she'll be having a better day.
Idyllic English pub with First class service and Food and the Ale is Bang on. If you are looking for a cosy traditional pub in a Beautiful Village as well as AMAZING Service and food then the Royal Oak is for you. The most dog friendly place I have EVER been to as well. We felt like locals after just 2 visits, and will definitely back when we come back to Yorkshire again. Thank You so much Guys for one of the best meals I have ever had.
PS: The sticky toffee pudding is off the scale Gorgeous.
Lovely little local pub with decent portions of tasty food. Very nice staff. The meat was tender and richly flavoured.
Nice little pub, fairly busy at the bar when I went for some food on my way home. Plenty of places to sit and relax, though if you want a quiet meal it's a little more of a gamble, but depends on your own preference. Phenomenal outside seating area, though not directly behind the bar it's only over the car park, though they also have seating out front too. Food was great, turkey roast dinner. Can't fault the place to be honest.
Stayed overnight in our Motorhome 2/6/23
