The Oak looks amazing now, It's easily the best looking pub in the area. The staff are very friendly.It was busy when I went there, but service was quick and efficient. Did'nt eat but the menu looks good, and I will definately dine there in the future.

Very very disappointed, with what McMullens have done to this pub, following the recent refurbishment.

Now its nothing more than a sterile restaurant inside the shell of a pub. If you like Beefeater's, Brewers Fayre etc. type establishments with lack of character and low standard cheap food then its fine, however if you're looking for a pub then search elsewhere.

McMullens pub serving Dragons Brew, IPA, AK and Country Bitter. I visited this morning at 11:30 and was the first in. By the time I left, two other customers had arrived. The bar is fairly standard with a fruit machine, a games machine and TV screens. A bar billiards table is a plus point. There are several sports trophies and shields behind the bar. Service was prompt and courteous. The toilets were clean. Better than previous McMullens pubs I have visited.

Haven’t been to the Royal Oak for many a moon, but when I found myself travelling through Chingford last Saturday and in need of a pint and pub grub, thought I’d look the old place up.
And was pleasantly surprised that it seems to have survived modernisation by the IKEA interior designers that have removed the traditional pub feel from so many other McMullen pubs, and still retains its more traditional oak beamed interior.
It is still a two bar pub with a separate smaller public bar and then a much larger saloon, laid out in three sections, and a decent outside drinking patio to the side.
The full range of McMullen cask ales were on, including the current seasonal beer Sweet Spot, and the two I tried were well kept. The food is traditional pub grub, that wouldn’t have them salivating on Master Chef , but with BOGOF offers which meant our two meals were under £8.00 they hit the spot for what we wanted.

Comfortable, most of the foods ok (have the pie), nothing to complain about.
