The Royal Oak

Had great time listening to live music in one of the few remaining traditional English pubs. Great atmosphere. Gorgeous!❤️

Great selection of beers, friendly pub with lovely staff, two outside spaces. Regularly have fantastic live music. Nice food, including a pizza van some nights.

Bar staff very friendly, dog friendly too. Regular pub in need of a bit of TLC

Excellent local pub with a fantastic selection of ales and craft beers which are expertly looked after. Often have live music at the weekends. When the kitchens open the food is delicious, their burgers are fantastic. Service is always brilliant, staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful.

No it hasn't changed, it is still the best pub in the town.

Good family owned and run pub. Plus if beers to choose from and now they have bar billiards too which is excellent. I always missed pub games. Good work guys!

Unfortunate update:
It used to be 5 stars, it used to be amazing. A friendly local pub with friendly local people. Sadly it's now just a garden variety pub with staff that mostly do as best they can (depending how busy it is) but have trouble with basic manners sometimes. It's a shame, but as long as you're not expecting a Shire-like pub that feels like home whenever you walk in, then you'll be fine.
Food has sadly taken a rather big downturn, but there's a pizza van outside on Friday (sometimes Saturday as well) which you can take indoors to eat with your pint, which is good, but not a ringing endorsement for the chef, if you know what I mean.

(I left my old review here for a fair comparison, it used to be 5 stars)
Absolutely wonderful pub. Friendly staff, great cask and special ales, beers and ciders. Live music every week, fabulous food. Absolutely brilliant.

Quiet, friendly pub with great quality beer.

Excellent service, quick, nice people, delicious Sunday Roast.
