| Finally managed to make it in after a number of aborted (pub shut!) attempts. And well worth it. Old-skool, two-roomed pub, with two differing atmospheres (both good!). Left-hand was my haunt, given the dartboard. Plenty of folk in, buzzing atmosphere. Good range of beer, with the West Berks beers taking the prominence. My Maggs Mild really was lovely - top marks. Great 'real' local pub, well worth a visit. Wantage is blessed to have both this and the Shoulder of Mutton. Go forth and drink responsibly. Quinno - 22 Aug 2008 22:04 |
| This pub is the best in the area for it's selection of real ales, friendly staff and punters. Serve a great selection of real ales and a few ciders which change often. Dr Hexter's Healer, Wedding Ale and Maggs Mild from West Berkshire Brewery are regulars and are well worth a try. yogibeer - 27 Jul 2008 11:10 |

| This Pub is typical of how nice pubs used to be before the breweries and pub companies started ripping them apart and "refurbishing" them. The landlord has apparently served a quarter of a century here and hasn't changed anything apart from installing some excellent beer. Voted "Pub of the Year" by the local branch of CAMRA and we're not surprised, most of the pubs in this area are owned by Greene King and have to sell their appalling beer. Here's to a great "Free House"! pubinspectors - 28 Jul 2007 19:10 |
| Awesome. Every time I visit the Royal Oak, it's a pleasue to see Dr. Hexter and his variety of drinks. The local brewed cider and custom ales like 'Dr. Hexter's Wedding' are great every time. Variety of spirits and 2 indevidual sides of the bar. Duke box isn't too bad either. Worth checking out. Lucifer_Chapel - 15 May 2007 10:05 |
