The Royal Oak — Restaurant in England

I would love to say I didn't like the food, or the atmosphere, but sadly I didn't get to. I walked in after someone acknowledged me I asked if they were dog friendly. The woman looked pissed off I had asked and said 'Well if they are well behaved', I replied my dog is and she said she could sit is in the middle table. She then asked the size and I said 'husky'. This prompted an actual sigh and 'Well if they sit under the table and out of the walkway that should be ok'. So I left. If your pub is SO busy (it wasn't) then you can say 'We can't accomodate dogs' and I would have been fine. Instead she seemed to want to find a reason not to have me in with a dog. My dog is quiet,trained and lies down and sleeps when I go to a pub, but for this woman it was clearly an issue. I ended up going elsewhere, with the staff smiling at my dog, finding us a suitable table and not making us a problem. I wonder if she was as annoyed at the kids running around the tables...

If you're not part of this pubs "club" - don't bother coming here. Walked in smiling saying hi; no hello, no smiles, no greetings in return. I've never experienced such cold and horrid looks when walking into an establishment before. You know when someone looks you up and down judging you, that's exactly how it was. Bought a drink and quickly took it outside as I didn't want to stay in an environment like that. I went back a few months later because I didn't want to assume that's how they always run their business but yes, got treated the same way the second time. It's quite humiliating actually. I've asked friends and family what they think and they've all had similar unwelcoming experiences and haven't been back in years. This pub is nothing more than a snobby hang out for the locals. Shame because the pub itself is beautiful. There are plenty of lovely friendly pubs near Perranwell and in Cornwall, there are absolutely zero reasons to...

This is a lovely pub in the centre of a lovely village. It is clearly very popular even at lunchtimes mid-week so booking is recommended. There is a car park adjacent to the pub but if full then there is roadside parking. The pub has lots of character and the staff are very welcoming. The menu on their website was up-to-date and there is also a 'specials' board with many other tempting options. I had the scallops with chorizo in a creamy sauce as a starter and it was amazing. My wife and I went for the medley of fillets of simply grilled fish for our mains. They were served with seasonal vegetables and a choice of potatoes. I had the Dauphinoise potatoes which which as also delicious. This pub is a little off the beaten track but the quality of food and service ensures that this pub will always be busy and I'm sure that it is also well serviced by the local village. Fantastic!! We shall...
