About Royal Oak
Small two bar local which dates from 1570, situated on narrow village high street. Many interesting original features, including inglenook fire, flagged floors, low doors and low beams. The lounge is always cosy and warm and difficult to leave at the end of the evening. The story of an unusual low scoring cricket match is told on the wall of the lounge. The public bar has darts and background music or jukebox. Very much a locals’ pub that can get noisy, it is friendly at the same time. Unobtrusive TV and garden for warmer months. Thai food served. The nearby church of St Nicholas (Norman) adds to the rural feel. The Clapham Town is believed to be Courage Best rebadged.

Stopped off for a quick burger around 7pm on a Friday and were very pleased with our impromptu dinner. Staff were lovely and since the restaurant was full we were offered an alternative place to sit outside. When an indoor table cancelled we were given the option to move indoors. Much appreciated! A good food recommendation given by the hostess too. Food was fresh, yummy and arrived quickly. Would happily come back if I was in the area again.

We were so lucky to get seated as we’d not booked and Sundays seem very popular. Really friendly and welcoming staff. We both decided on the absolutely superb roast lamb with all the trimmings and it arrived super quick. I had to sample the chocolate trillionaire tart with vanilla ice cream😃. I highly recommend you book a table you won’t be disappointed.
