We live about 25 miles from East Bridgford and have friends who live nearby and also in Newark on Trent, and have once previously called in to the Royal Oak for a drink. Today however we had lunch with our friends and it was absolutely marvellous. I had reviewed the menu beforehand and it looked good but I was expecting decent pub fare. My expectations were exceeded. The meals we enjoyed were superb restaurant quality and tasted delicious. This marvellous food was matched with friendly relaxed and happy service which always makes a good meal go very well. I had a lovely light starter of three types of beetroot with goats cheese in a light dressing which was fresh and very, very tasty. To follow, I chose a smoked haddock with green beans in a mustard cream sauce which perfectly cooked and was better than delicious. It was sublime. (It’s normally served with new potatoes but I am avoiding potatoes). My friends variously enjoyed tempura king prawns with chilli dip, braised lamb with mashed potato, steak and ale pie, and fish and chips and one even made it to a sticky toffee pudding finale. Everything was enjoyed. The invisible team in the kitchen deserve 11/10 for the food offer and the full Royal Oak team get five stars+ from us for the whole experience. We will be back. (PS. I’m going to try and recreate that smoked haddock dish at home - Any tips on the mustard sauce?)

After a 5 mile walk we dropped in here on the spur of the moment for a table for 4, even though the pub was already busy with Sunday diners a table was found, no problem at all. The staff here are very friendly but still professional. We had two Sunday dinners and two fish and chips, all food was served together and hot ( something I comment on alot ). We all enjoyed our food and couldn’t fit a pudding in unfortunately. I would recommend this pub 100% and if we’re in the area again wouldn’t hesitate to come back .

The food was excellent. A lovely, oozy lemon risotto topped with grilled seabass. A very good selection of low alcohol beers too. Service was OK but would have been improved if accompanied by a smile. The pub doesnt have a fantastic atmosphere but is quite OK. Dog friendly. The food made the visit for me.

A lovely evening spent here. Food was fantastic, we had fish and chips and ribs, followed by Eton mess and sorbet. It was delicious. Great beer too. Also a big thank you to the landlord for putting the football on for us We will return.

Have visited theRoyal Oak many times and have always been made welcome. They set high standards and make your visit enjoyable. Yesterday was no exception, our food order was taken very quickly, following a short wait while our food was prepared and cooked to order we enjoyed our meals of Steak Pies and Chicken Pies which were very tasty with great pastry a proper pie. We were informed with an apology when taking our order that the Chips would not be as crispy as normal as they were using new potatoes. This did not distract from the quality and taste they were delicious . Had several other meals here in the past from a good choice of menu options and have always enjoyed whatever.
