My partner and I spent an evening here whilst staying elsewhere in the area. We both enjoyed our food which came from an imaginative menu. Fairly expensive but good value for well cooked nicely presented tasty meals. The service was excellent from very pleasant staff. The bar and restaurant areas were very busy with a great atmosphere.

I recently had a Sunday lunch at The Royal Oak and to be honest both my husband and I felt that it was the best Sunday Lunch we had tasted in a pub/restraunt in a long time. The meat was tender and moist, the vegetables cooked without being boiled to death and the Yorkshire Pudding and Roast Potatoes were delicious.... More

My Wife and I travelled down from Rutand Water for an early evening meal. My wifes food was OK but the evening and my meal was totally spoilt when I made the mistake of requesting vinegar. I then proceeded with applying plenty of vinegar to my meal but on starting to eat my food, found there to be a strange... More

The food was excellent and the staff I came across were friendly, however our table was almost in the bar near the front door which somebody kept leaving open, this soon let in fag smoke from the usual puffers congregating outside the door.

Rooms(we saw our friends as well) were a bit gothic with dark wallpaper and dark lampshades. Room preparation OK except for missing cup and saucer and non functional heated towel rail on our friends room. The food was... More

I whisked my long term girlfriend away for her milestone birthday to The Great Oak Hotel where I more than received my money's worth. Staff couldn't do enough for us and in the evening, we went across to the hotels annual Summer Ball, with a BBQ buffet, cabaret evening and an Elvis Presley tribute act. Despite awful weather, the hotel... More

My wife and I are travelling around UK and came across this on Late Rooms. 70£ breakfast inclusive. More a Pub then a B&B. Room was spacious and facilities clean. Looks like recent regurb. We were tired so slept well but our room was directly over the beer garden so drinking and talking went on for awhile. Not raucous in... More

We have just stayed at the Royal Oak to attend a nearby wedding. On arrival, the landlady made us feel very welcome and escourted us to our rooms personally. My only slight complaint (if you could call it that) was the way to the rooms which is out of a side door , down an alley and past the kitchens.... More
