Nice little pub, drawn in by the “free pool” sign in the window, who can pass up on that?
Pool table is SPOTLESS, it’s either brand new or very well looked after. Cloth is perfect, even the cues and chalk are flawless, very rare for a pub.
Also have two dart boards with the correct oche spacing, they clearly take their pub games seriously, I wish more would!
Good Guinness, props to the barmaid because she even poured a two part pour. Good selection of gins the other half said.
Lovely welcome, great food, look forward to trying the interesting food on your menu Well worth a visit staff very friendly
Never been made to feel more welcome in a local pub. Everyone was friendly. We arrived wanting to watch the F1 on Sky sports and was swiftly accommodated. The toilets were clean and products were left available for use by patrons, which was a really kind touch. The pub is 100% dog friendly and our pooch was greeted with snacks and a toy and told he had free reign as the beer garden and pub were secure. If you are in Malton and want to pop into a regular pub with excellent service, I recommend the Royal Oak wholeheartedly.
Popped in on Saturday with a large group of my friends
What a welcome!
It was almost like walking into your own local. A friendly welcome fro the landlord and also the local regulars.
Fantastic pub and excellent beer garden too.
We will most certainly be planning another visit.
Thank you for your warm hospitality, we look forward to seeing you all again soon !

Excellent Sunday Roast sat in the sunny garden
Had a last minute night out in Malton with a friend. Found the Royal Oak through Google and both staff and regulars were very friendly, good range of beers and reasonable prices for the area. Pub is perfectly placed from shops and local takeaways with a very nice pizza house just across from it. Was recommended the Union by the pub landlord who owns both. One of the best nights out that I’ve had in a long while in the Union. Some very good local singers and I left having made friends there. Will definitely be returning.
Thanks :)
Awesome food and friendly service
The ploughman's from the specials board was incredible, homemade coleslaw ooh
My friend had gammon and home made chunky chips
Excellent food, pub and staff - I was formally a Police Officer in Malton and have tried all the pubs. THIS IS THE BEST
Landlord and landlady welcomed us with open arms. Was our first time to Malton for our wedding Anniversary. Had a superb time and these guys made it & made cocktails!
Great crowd of people, highly recommended.
Very welcoming traditional pub. Landlord John made us feel welcome from the moment we entered. Cannot comment on the food as the kitchen is temporarily closed due to the current financial crisis.
Lovely little pub, food was amazing, the atmosphere was very welcoming, landlady and landlord very welcoming, polite and kind. I would definitely recommend this pub for food or for a quiet little drink dog friendly, they have treats behind the bar which are free, will happily come back again
Lovely beer, lovely staff, lovely food. Very dog friendly. Lots of choice on the menu. Came in by chance, next time I will come here on purpose.
Pity we found this lovely pub on our last day of our holidays. We had a fab meal staff and locals made us feel welcome. Fast service and if you like gin that have a great collection. Well worth a visit we will be back. Well done and thanks for a great meal.
Wednesday 16th August lunch time.
Thoroughly enjoyed my South African food. I will be back often. Xxxxx
My boyfriend and I recently visited malton from Suffolk and the Royal Oak was the first pub we visited, the owners Jon and Laura couldn’t have been any more helpful suggesting places to go while we were visiting, a really welcoming couple! The Royal Oak has a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great selection of drinks! We didn’t go to any other pub, only returned to this one! Definitely will visit again! x
p.s sausage in a roll!
A great pub with great beer and the manager can’t do enough for you. Very dog friendly and the regulars are friendly too.
Incredible staff, owners always attentive, new to food but the chef is putting out lovely valuable food, not 5* restaurant but the food is massively underpriced for the quality, and is quite clearly a family friendly dog friendly pub with real country vibes
We are finally so happy to find, The Royal Oak, a pub with the old fashioned values, of the Old days, with a pub that feels like, home, and all staff, that feel like, familly, that's suits all generations, as we have witnessed, with a Landlord and Land lady, who are, welcoming, warm and friendly, and extremely considerate to all, their , customers and staff, a wonderfull experience, we will be regular visitors.
Loved this place...me and my partner went in after a walk round market..staff are lovely and food is outstanding 👌. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. And price is so reasonable which was the thumbs up all round. Will recommend and be back myself. Thanks again 😁
