    I had the snapper wings which were just awful. They were overcooked, oily and given I was sick all night with had an upset stomach, it obviously wasn't fresh. Overall the food at your restaurant lacks freshness and quality. I had the spinach and ricotta gnocchi for the main course. Strange taste but just edible .

    Great night out with a group of old friends. Food was delicious and service was excellent. One of our party was in a wheelchair and staff ensured our table was easily accessible for him.

    Lovely meals enjoyed by all, at our Christmas dinner event. Perhaps the quality food leads to the only knock, in that the venues popularity leads to multi sittings, thereby forcing the early sitting diners to vacate their table whether they are ready or not.

    Food, service and atmosphere was great. The royal Oak has a good vibe. They have great specials to go along side their usual dine in menu. I would definitely recommend the Royal Oak.

    Celebrating a girlfriend’s 50th we had the best time. Food was amazing (I loves the fried eggplant starter) and had the snapper special. Between us I think we covered the menu. Great wait staff and my friends drank plenty of hard fizz!
