| An unplanned early Saturday evening visit. Larkins and Westerham Summer Perle both good. Food quality was excellent, both the local sausages and the roast butternut squash (huge). Service cheerful enough. The food prices are not dirt cheap, but for what we had they were very good value indeed. It wasn't 'fast food', but if it had been the quality may not have been so good.

| I used to eat and drink at the Royal Oak about 10 years ago, and thought I'd try it again with a couple of girlfriends. Unfortunately, we won't be going back as we were met by unfriendly staff and served poor to average food: Burnt, inedible lasagne eaten at a wonky table. At 10pm as soon as we'd paid the bill (which included a tip) the manager/owner(? the large guy behind the bar) switched off lights in restaurant and loos, made so much noise putting bottles in bin that we couldn't hear ourselves speak, and made it very obvious that he wanted us out even though the bar was still full of people. We felt very uncomfortable and left about 10.20. We were not spoken to on the way out and the door was locked as soon as we left. When I told other friends about the terrible experience, they also said that they'd found it cliquey and unfriendly. localguinnesslover - 21 Jun 2011 21:02 |
| Still a lovely country pub, with well-kept real ales. Larkins was excellent as always. Impressive wine list with some good port vintages, clarets and red burgundies. Staff are a bit dozy, as usual, and the place could do with a good spring clean (sticky dining tables etc.) A great place for a few pints of proper bitter, food was overpriced and a bit lacklustre. I suspect the good chef has left. chavbaiter - 8 Mar 2011 14:21 |
| On the of the great things about the Royal Oak is that it's miles from anywhere and consistantly busy..surely that tells you something. It's a terrific pub with great ales, ciders and food thats a notch up from the competition...OK the old locals bar is gone, mistake... and the staff can be a bit dim if the owner Julian is not around to chivvy them up...but overall a great British country pub that deserves a visit and we need more like it. qualityhound - 6 Feb 2011 21:40 |
| Big old country pub. Lots of real ales on (30p discount on 'specials' with a CAMRA card!), tried Larkins and Kings which were both excellent. Food very good, bit of a "gourmet" menu but still a couple of classic pub meals on. Place was surprisingly empty when I was there on a Sunday lunchtime but I suspect this was an exception, looks like the sort of place that gets packed most weekends. alan_From_SAWW - 28 Nov 2010 16:12 |
