Royal Oak Watnall

First visit, tried to ring and email to book a table but no joy, advised to book through Facebook page. We arrived at 12 and we we advised we could eat and a table was found, lovely friendly staff, behind bar and in the eating area, lovely comfy seats, room was a little chilly on arrival but once door was closed it soon warmed up. Good selection of ales, beers, guns, Food was absolutely delicious 😋, piping hot, portion sizes were huge, we had Sunday lunches, in offer was beef or chicken breast, and I had nut roast, there was lovely mash, yorkies, roasties, roast carrots and parnsips and stuffing then in a separate dish was peas, broccoli, red cabbage and then another dish of delicious cauliflower cheese, the portions as I say were huge so as for a smaller portion if your not a big eater. Deserts were a choice id sticky toffee pudding and custard which was delicious 😋 and red velvet cheese cake and you could have ice cream. A friend recommended here and it didn't disappoint!! Will definitely be back. £12.80 for a lunch and £2.80 for desert, drinks were £3.70 per pint that was for a tribute ale and a John Smith's. They have a small bar area, toilets and a beer garden.

We had heard that the Oak’s Sunday dinner was good so decided to try it and weren’t disappointed. On the contrary, very friendly staff, attentive service, all made a fuss of our dog. Prices very reasonable indeed and generous portions of meat and full vegetables. WIne very well priced. Standard of food was really high - clearly freshly cooked and my wife’s beef and my pork were both done perfectly cooked. The test is whether you would go back and we definitely would.

Really enjoyed our dinner at the Royal Oak, the portion sizes were really big but still really lovely, good quality food. In our party we tried honey belly pork, beef and lamb shank Sunday dinners with sides of pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese, everything was delicious and even the horseradish tasted home made. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back.
