Royal Oak - Waltham Forest

We popped down while we were having a walk for a drink, but it was more of a kind of sitting place. There was too much ice on my cider; unfortunately, I struggled to drink, and the chip portion was tiny, but the staff was friendly and helpful.

The Sunday roast at this restaurant was disappointing. I ordered a lamb shank and had to use a knife to cut it, when it should have been tender enough to fall apart with a fork. The potatoes were deep fried, nearly causing me to break a tooth, and the vegetables were undercooked and lacking seasoning. Despite my dissatisfaction, I chose not to send the food back because it was Easter. I informed the staff at the end of my meal and was told to email the manager. However, after emailing him with pictures of the poor quality meal, I received no response. It seems the manager was at a loss for words on how to address the issue with me as a customer.

Went here for a buffet following a funeral. Private area allocated away from main bar which was ideal for the occasion Choice of sandwiches, hot food and nibbles accompanied by tea/coffee for those not wanting a drink from the bar.

The food at this restaurant is fantastic. I tried the Vegan Burger and it was delicious. My coworkers ordered fish and chips, chicken, burgers, and mixed salad and everyone was satisfied. The atmosphere is like a pub with outdoor seating and a beautiful ambiance. There is also free parking available.

Excellent service with tasty food. When we said there was a nut allergy, the waiter first checked their list of ingredients before confirming the order was nut free. Nice touch. Very friendly place with very friendly but professional staff. Highly recommended.
