"Visited the Royal Oak for a fantastic dinner! My partner had the Royal Oak burger which looked marvellous and I'm told tasted divine. I ordered a Chinese selection from the specials menu and couldn't believe the portion size! Plus it was tasty as hell! All the staff were attentive and lovely. We will definitely be back!"

"Incredible food and service. The Tomahawk steak was one of the best steaks I've ever had, indescribable amount of flavour. Chips were the best I've ever tasted. Everything was basically perfect. The landlady was lovely and the young man serving us was very professional. Highly recommended."
