Its a lovely pub with a lot of character, love the mix of old wood pillar's and beams with the exposed brickwork. For food we had chicken chips & peas with a peppercorn sauce, chilli bean risotto & rice with poppadoms. Also had cheesy garlic bread. The chilli was enough to have a bite without being over powering.
A very nice evening.
I have been a few times and honestly never had a bad meal. Tonight was no exception. A real added bonus was the diary free ice cream on the menu.
A great meal as always, delivered quickly, and excellent friendly staff. Excellent value.
Very nice friendly pub. The food was very good, with quick service considering how busy it was. Highly recommend ��
Visited on a Wednesday evening and it was quite busy which I always think is a good sign. Large choice on the menu at very reasonable prices, I had a mixed grill which you don’t seem to find in places these days. The meat was all prepared very well and there was plenty of it. We all enjoyed our meals and left very satisfied.
First visit this evening for roast. Had the beef and it was incredible. Beautiful cut. The crumble afterwards was possibly better than my mums (don’t tell her lol) and the staff were so friendly. Will definitely be back!
Sunny day out in the garden area. Great food and comes out quick, the people are very friendly too which makes it a relaxed place to go and eat/drink
Such a great place to visit good food friendly staff and a lovely garden
Compared to a lot of pubs in the area this really stands out. The food is excellent all round with a lot of care put into it. Our food came exceptionally quickly for how well made it is. The service is really pretty incredible, very attentive and polite. Price wise it’s not bad at all, there are spots nearby that are noticeably more expensive for a lesser experience.
Atmosphere is nice, was especially good to have a fire going.
Highly recommend
Friendly staff, we didn't book a table but they found us one. Food was very good . We will definitely go back when we're in that area ( we're from Basingstoke) . Dog friendly and have dog water bowls and treats for them. Very big garden with plenty of tables inside and out, recomend booking a table
Recommended place to go
Food was great. Elenor looked after us all (10 guys) with a smile. All staff were lovely. Nice atmosphere. Proper country pub. Looked after our guy in the wheelchair as well.
We were a party of 4 adults and had a lovely experience. Eleanor was our cheerful delightful server who could not do enough for us. The food was served hot and tasty but have marked it down one star because my mushrooms on my starter were slightly over done. Otherwise a lovely Country pub experience.
We love the Royal Oak. It's a lovely old pub with classic country pub food. The service was great - we were served by a very pleasant member of staff.
The sharer starter of Camembert with fried chicken, garlic mushrooms, garlic bread and onion rings is a great hybrid of starters. It was delicious!
The food came swiftly and was fresh and hot. The only odd thing was that we wanted to order our sharing starter while we were still choosing mains but we're told that it all had to be ordered at the same time or it would confuse the kitchen.
However, that small thing was not enough to change the fact that it's our favourite pub to eat at in the area. We will be back.
It's older style pub grub so expectations are not sky high. Having said that the food was fine, service was with a smile and everything came together nicely. The pub was virtually full for a Tuesday evening which was encouraging. Mind you poor weather meant that folk were inside rather than using the quite extensive outdoor area.
Food wise the three of us were happy with our meals. The chicken and ham hock pie came with plated veg which was rather dried out. It must have been sitting around for a while! Gravy was so thick that it wouldn't pour easily. The pie was good though and chips freshly cooked. Still, we got by and we had a good evening. A large wine at nearly £10/glass was a little eyebrow raising especially as the same had been had at another establishment the week before for nearer £6. Would I go again, yes of course.
What can I say about this place the food was amazing and came out very quick we only waited for about 5-10 minutes! the staff were so attentive to all our needs ensured we were satisfied and always came over with smiles. Elenor, Chloe, maddie and the manager Jamie were all so amazing and kind they were absolutely incredible!! The atmosphere was great the staff were enthusiastic and all enjoying themselves the people around were also enjoying themselves and seemed to have a laugh I would definitely come back again!
Great food, super atmosphere. Staff are so friendly, especially Laura who didn’t bat an eyelid when a group of us turned up without a booking. We’ll 100% be back for our eldest son’s bday.
I went here for a family meal, the place was nice and the staff were friendly, plenty of parking here too, The food was lovely the only let down was the one hour we waited for food to arrive on what was not a very busy Sunday evening.
We went for the Sunday roast. Both of us going for the trio. All cooked to perfection, generous servings and good value for money. Really lovely cosy pub with lots of character and the staff were so so friendly. 100% recommend.
Had a chicken burger, perfectly seasoned and tasted amazing. Portion sizes were perfect and i definitely got my moneys worth! Beautiful garden and an amazing environment created by very kind staff. Will definitely be returning!
Excellent pub with plenty of parking. Lovely big garden with plenty of furniture for adults and children alike. IPA pint was good and the steak sandwich was very good and the steak cooked as requested. A very service and a thoroughly good lunchtime experience. I met 2 of my mates from school here on Friday. Haven't seen them for 50 years. Staff were brilliant and gave us a quiet seat to chat over old times.
I love this pub, the place is very beautiful and the triple Sunday roast is amazing, good price/quality. Is one of my favourite restaurants.
Fabulous meal with friends tonight. Food delicious and service exceptionally quick and lovely atmosphere. We will be back as Christmas menu looks amazing.
one of the better pubs in a chain
friendly service typical pub grub reasonably priced. Fillet steak excellent value. all round a pleasant experience. chloe was very helpful and efficient and it is for me the level of customer service that brings you back to certain venues as opposed to many similar establishments.
Very nice food. Been here a few times although today service was slow and one waitress was quite snappy and appeared flustered most the meal. Appreciate its Father’s Day but it wasn’t too busy at the time we sat to eat but waited atleast 50 mins per course.
Absolutely love this venue. The food is extremely tasty and the service is amazing. Our waitress Lexie was smiley, friendly and went out of her way to help make our meal extra special. We will definitely be back.
