Awful place. Awful food. Terrible service. Rude staff. Funny tasting pint. Would not

This pub always offers a freshly cooked meal at a very reasonable price. The only issue is that you need to wait for 30 minutes-1 hour to get food when the pub is busy.

Came in for food and it was lovely and quick to come out. The staff were very friendly and chatty and the atmosphere was comfortable and content. Great selection of beer.

One of my favourite pubs in Didcot. Lots of menu variety and weekday offers. As a Greene King the food isn’t anything gourmet but all very reasonably priced. Pool tables and darts make this one of the better pubs in the area.Vegetarian options: Standard amount of vegetarian foodParking: Roughly 10-20 free spaces and plenty of street parking nearby

Basic pub which we have been to in the past for a basic fast meal. Last time we went several of the meal options were unavailable and we waited nearly an hour for the food that we ordered. If there was going to be a wait we should have been told before ordering. A wait of that long would not be expected in an exclusive restaurant. I ended up having to have a doggy bag as there wasn't enough time for me to eat.

Good value, friendly staff and play area

Good for sport, but service is lacking asked about food and wasn't offered a menu. Won't be back.

Disgusted that other reviews were replied to but mine was not. I have a fair and warranted review stating that when I attended your pub your bar lady was very rude and attitude stank. I complimented your chef who was working that evening, but you couldn’t even reply to me? You had to hide my review. I run my own pub as previously stated and was just down visiting family- if my staff were as rude as yours they would no longer be my staff especially for it being as quiet as it was and the food and plates all over the tables, totally unacceptable.Do not attend this pub, they are rude and obnoxious. Only thing I can say is the food was ok but overall the pub is 1/10 and very very slow.
Great midweek value meal's also great for weekend, just want something cheap quick and easy, Royal Oak... Friendly & dog friendly ? good old style pub grub?Kid-friendliness: Big set of drawers with kiddie stuff to do

We had a very nice lunch here with the grandchildren towards the end of school holidays. Excellent fish and chips. Kind and helpful service. Colouring pencils provided for the children. Comfortable seating and music at just the right level unlike another pub that was at an uncomfortably jarring level. We will return here another time. Thank you!

Came here solo, knew the food was good from last visit with family. Tasty bacon, cheese, hash brown burger and chips. Don't fault the restaurant for this (hence 4/5 atmosphere), but found it a bit noisy, another table expressing some interesting views on the world, one of whom swiped a chair! (Might have been polite to ask first!) Made things a little less comfortable. Staff were doing their best to check in. Otherwise, I like the train decor, which fits Didcot as a railway town very nicely!Dietary restrictions: Options available for gluten free if requested, I asked to remove the extra onions in the burger, accommodated with no fuss.Parking: On site parking, quite a bit of space.

The Royal Oak definitely deserves more custom. We expected it to be busy for a Sunday lunchtime, but there were very few people around when we arrived. We had a pleasant welcome from the staff and the pub had a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. We didn't feel rushed at all. The food we ordered was cooked from fresh and absolutely delicious. We were so impressed we ordered desserts - generally we don't! If visiting Didcot, give it a try!
