What curlywurly123 doesn't like about The Royal Oak:
Visited for Sunday lunch after having the place recommended by a friend. Arrived at 5pm I think they had been busy were clearing late lunch diners out.

The lambs liver was awful. I think it was beef liver or a very old ram. It was so tough the knife wouldn't go through it. It was sent back and we didn't pay for...

Disappointed at the beef and Stilton pie change. It was the only reason we kept coming back. Real shame the new version is overpriced and underwhelming.

The Royal Oak has been a longtime favorite, but recent visits have left diners disappointed. Although the ambiance is charming and the staff welcoming, the quality, quantity, and value of the meals seem to have declined. Some dishes, like the Beef and Stilton Pie, have changed for the worse, while others, like the Sunday Roast, lack in portions and flavor for the price. Despite some letdowns, the pub still has its supporters who rave about the friendly staff and lovely meals. Overall, the Royal Oak remains a hit or miss for diners looking for a satisfying meal experience.
