"The Royal Oak is everything you’d expect from a country pub. From the food to the customer experience; it delivers in abundance. Niall and Trish are a brilliant mix of characters and you feel like you’re in extremely good hands with them."

"Sunday lunch was just exquisite, with generous portions of everything. And to dessert... this was the best sticky toffee pudding I have had in my life! Delicious, refined and plentiful."
