Royal Oak — Restaurant in England

The Royal Oak turned out to be a really great find when I visited last Sunday while desperately searching for a place to watch the 6 Nations Scotland France match.

Surprised to find a wide range of well kept beers, including good Cask IPAs. Apart from my guilty secret, Park Crackling, I did not try the food. But observing the customers around me noted very high quality and generously portioned Sunday lunches being consumed with enthusiasm.

The pub itself is large, clean, well furnished so spoilt for choice for a place to sit. The pub does show sporting events on numerous well positioned screens around the place, but if you just wanted a quiet pint or meet in a discreet couple or group, the noise levels were low and would not detract from the experience.

The staff were friendly, helpful and willing to go above and beyond.... changing the channel to allow me to watch the Rugby, despite me being the only interested party in the pub. Talking to and listening to the staff interacting with customers and with each other, it is very apparent that there is a strong well-led team working at the Royal Oak.

All that is left to say is thank you to Kirsty, Amelia, Alex and Top-Chef Steph! A great experience, despite the final score, C'est La Vie! See you...

Had an unexpected evening out here and was very surprised by how much I enjoyed it. We had 2 meals and about 3 drinks each. The staff were very knowledgeable about the menu and helped me identify food that was my specific allergy safe which was excellent. The menu includes meat options but there is lots of vegetarian food on offer so we went vegetarian and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was served in good time and was hot and well presented. The food and drinks were well priced and service was excellent - fast and friendly. The pub itself in smart and very clean, the staff constantly clearing and cleaning. The location is ideal for the Globe theatre and the town centre shopping. I am looking forward to...
