This little pub is amazing! food and service so good came back two nights in a row! The nachos are AMAZING honestly the best nachos I have ever had. The food is so tasty and its service with a smile. I couldn’t recommend the place enough. Staff are friendly and engaging and deserve a great deal of praise. (Btw love the singing in the kitchen !)

Food was very disappointing for the price, when you order a kilo of chicken wings and only eight turn up, wouldn't recommend

Great traditional

In the middle of Ambleside so you need to park and then walk.Good choice of ales and really nice Sunday roast
Probably the best steak & ale pie I've had anywhere. Lovely atmosphere and whole bar full of decent, well kept ale. Would thoroughly recommend.

Royal Oak is a lovely little pub, and the staff are fantastic, but I’m afraid the Vegetarian Goulash I ordered was abysmal.When I saw their speciality was Goulash, and that they did a vegetarian version I was sold and I was really looking forward to getting stuck in.It arrived pretty quickly, and I have to admit that visually it wasn’t very appealing - but I know that looks aren’t everything and it’s all about the taste - except there wasn’t any.Firstly, it was so hot it burned my mouth. So I took to blowing on each spoonful to cool it down, but there was literally no flavour or substance to their “Goulash”. It was just a few large chunks of vegetables, and what I assumed was a dumpling, in a vat of tomato sauce. There was no garlic bread either. I finished it because I was hungry, but I felt really dissatisfied - and still hungry. So much so that afterwards I ended up in the supermarket next door buying crisps and biscuits.Before I turned vegetarian I had eaten Goulash in Hungary, and various Hungarian restaurants in the UK - so I know what Goulash tastes like. What I had at the Royal Oak was nothing like Goulash.I’m sorry to leave such a negative review but I do feel that vegetarians often get overlooked, are served substandard dishes, and are then expected to be grateful for it.In all seriousness I would much rather establishments omitted vegetarian options from their menu, so I can then go find a restaurant that recognises vegetarian customers also have tastebuds.
