| You know I have always liked the Royal Oak but it has sadly changed. Had a few standard ales on hand pump (Landlord, Greene King) but aside from that was a shade of its former self. I still did like the fire, however, but the place was empty other than my wife and I. mrdruse - 1 Jan 2010 17:58 |
| Absolutely diabolic ~ cash only ~ fake fire (matches the food) Not a patch on what it used to be! Had to ask for a spoon for my soup, which on reflection, wish they had not brought! Supermarket bought pies! Soggy chips, lumpy mash potato! Where oh! where did the homemade bread and soup go to? Surely, there must be a law against 9 year old (yes! very young) serving food and trapsing up and down those stairs with it! Never never again!! pear17 - 13 Dec 2009 07:59 |
| What a huge shame it is that the Royal Oak has changed hands,This once warm welcoming pub is now sadly,a shadow of its former self,I can't comment on the ale as i had a room temperature J20 as i was driving,But i can comment on the food......... Being the first through the door on a sunday lunchtime i would have expected the food to be at least hot! Two sunday "dinners" were ordered and we were served boil in the bag ready meals i think,Beef was pre-sliced and presumably pre-packed and i couldnt get my knife to cut it so had to prize it apart with my fork,yorkshire puddings were 2 minute microwave jobs,roast potatoes and veg were all pre-packed,instant mash,and very very lumpy gravy.Had to ask twice for sauces twice to give the food some taste.I wont be going back A big shame from the last time we went in and the food was all fresh made on site and piled high on the plate,seems so sad the previuos landlord built up a good reputation for food which now i feel is going to rapidly dissapear,a real shame cutter_spaulding - 11 Oct 2009 13:48 |
| Very disappointing - this pub didn't live up to it's recommendation and I suspect it has changed hands. The beer is OK however the food well below average. For example a toad in the hole comprised some very low quality sauages tossed into a frozen yorkshire with badly made instant gravy. The most annoyng thing was the refusal to serve tap water. A number of reasons were given to us and the next customer we overheard asking for an organge squash... "Well it's York Water!" "Health and Safety" and my favourtie "because it sits in the pipes so long" Given the same supply must feed the soft drinks tap and go into the ice I would recommend avoiding this place. warwickbeerfan - 7 Sep 2009 14:14 |
| Good ales. Interesting atmosphere. Not as good as previous visits but still worth a look. ppw - 25 Aug 2009 21:39 |
