Reviews for The Royal Oak

We stayed at the shepherd's hut in the pub garden and had a terrific time. The pub has a good selection of old fashioned beers and a magnificent ploughman's lunch. It is simple food but so well done as the cheeses and the quiches were top quality. I don't know why more pubs don't do food like this. All the staff were friendly and interested in us.

Great country pub, think open fires, a warm atmosphere and genuine hospitality. I'm sad to read a recent review about grumpy staff; this was entirely the opposite of my experience. It's well staffed so there's never a wait, and all the interactions were lovely and open - felt like a wonderful team. I loved the limited menu, and they've honed what they do: soup and ploughmans is just about perfect after a long Saturday walk. Couldn't fault them and wish it was my local pub!

Limited menu - mainly a choice of Ploughman's that said it was excellent. Might just be a Sunday thing to accommodate the vast number of walkers in the area. Dogs welcome, large garden area some undercover. I thoroughly enjoyed my cheese Ploughman's the menu does say 'Cheddar like' local cheese it might not be to everyone's taste but it was mine. Some in the group had the sausage roll, pork pie or ham versions all were to the same high standard. Portions were very generous.
