We went to the Royal Oak for the first time today, as a family, for my mother-in-law’s 81st birthday. We were a group of 3 adults, 3 teenagers, and a baby. The staff were wonderful, friendly, and incredibly attentive. The nacho sharing starters were huge, super fresh and tasty. All the main meals were lovely, good portions, and decently priced. The macaroni cheese portions in particular were massive, and the venison was cooked perfectly. A family member had baked a birthday cake, and when staff realised this they offered to take it to the kitchen for later. They returned after our main meals with candles on the cake so family could sing happy birthday. This wasn’t expected but it was very much appreciated. There was plenty of room for the pram, and there is a changing table above the women’s toilet. The whole staff team were lovely, polite, and friendly with the whole family to a perfect level where we felt welcome and attended to but never bothered by too much checking in. Our orders were all taken and arrived quickly with no issues or mistakes. Despite there being many in our group who could open doors for the pram, a member of staff offered to open the doors on our way out whilst thanking us again for our custom. We will definitely be back again, and based on our experience we very much recommend the Royal Oak for families of all ages.
