The Royal Oak — Restaurant in Leeds

This place is not the Savoy, but what The Royal Oak is, is incredible value for money, run and staffed by genuine, lovely people and very friendly clientele. You don't get a chocolate on your pillow or big fluffy white towels but you are left wanting for nothing else (you are provided with towels, obviously). Great beer in the bar, clean and well equipped rooms and even plates and cutlery should you wish to bring a takeaway back to your room.

Came into bar so girlfriend could use the toilet. Sign on the door said only customers can use the toilet. Went to bar to buy £2.50 half pint of coke to use the toilet. Lady behind the bar poured drink. Didnt have cash, tried to pay on card. She said i had to buy a full pint to pay on card. Refused to pay for a full pint. Walk to the door to leave.
