Have eaten here twice. Both times food was good and service friendly. Would describe it as pub grub rather than restaurant. Only complaint is the music is played everywhere so if you want a quiet table to chat you're out of luck. Warm and cosy interior and plenty of parking.

Absolutely lovely. We booked last minute as we were visiting the area, the response was very prompt. The pub is very comfortable and welcoming. The staff were friendly and the food was fantastic. We had the Sunday lunch, with some dessert and coffees. The menu looked great for other days too.

Fri 14th Oct. 16:45 Visited the Royal Oak for the 1st time.
We were the only folks in. The staff were very welcoming & friendly. The food was very good, the portions were enough, the food was hot.
Isabel was a pleasure to speak too.
We will certainly be going back, maybe for the Sunday Roast.
9 out if 10( minus 1, sticky toffee pudding, to long in microwave, but custard made up for it)

We were staying locally this weekend and turned up at 8pm hoping to eat. We received a really warm welcome and although busy, were found a table within a short time. The food was excellent as was the service. All the staff were very friendly and interacted with us rather than just serving orders. We felt like locals! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very friendly service - great with dogs -and large menu with great food but the service is extremely slow. Perhaps too little staff for full restaurant? Three of us (and dog) arrived before 7pm for a 7:15 reservation on Saturday of Bank Holiday weekend - didn’t get our starters until after 8, mains around 9 and had to chase to get dessert and bill around 10 - far later than we wanted. Ribs, specials and seafood tempura were all quite good though.

Really enjoyed our meal here tonight, always great to find a dog friendly pub when on holiday and to feel welcome with our dog. Both of us ordered the half rack of ribs, which was one of the best we’ve eaten. Huge portions, fairly priced and good service.

Had a lovely lunch there today the homemade steak and Guinness pie, was delicious. The host was welcoming and friendly and the ales were great. Would recommend to visit although you may need to book.
