A friend of mine got hate crimed here today. The staff member on shift dealt with it quickly and respectfully. The 4 men who took part in the hate crime were violent, graphic and I was worried for the safety of my friend. The men identified themselves as locals and said they frequented the Royal Oak a lot. They are not safe to be around if you are queer or a woman.

Lovely little pub but land lady was angry. I leant over the side of the bar and all I heard was your banned and you're mates banned as well for taking photos. He didn't even take a photo bless him. Other than that it's a lovely pub Can I come back please

If you need to use the loo, just follow your nose. The stench of urine is overwhelming.

Needs to be kept on top of cleanliness wise. Lovely people running the oak now. But needs to be kept on top of. I ran pubs for 25 years . I know what I'm talking about.

Decided on Whitchurch Village to have a drink last night. Tried the Oak first as there was a couple of tables free outside. Got served quite quickly and thought I was good here for the evening. Took a sip of my drink and realised that my Strongbow glass had been filled with lager. I took it back to the bar but had to wait a few minutes to have the error rectified as only one if the two staff behind the bar was serving. The other one, who later identified himself as the Landlord, seemed fixated on the CCTV monitors above the bar but noticed me returning my drink and overheard a pleasant exchange of words with his colleague. As I turned to return to my table I noticed that the Strongbow was swiftly going flat and that it has been served in a wet glass. I turned back around and laughingly said that I thought I night be jinxed and maybe it would be third time lucky. I appreciate that I was wearing a face mask but cant believe that my tone could of bee taken as anything less than jovial. The Landlord told his colleague not tu serve as I was being rude and asked ne to leave after refunding my money. Wont be going here again and wouldn't recommend that anyone else dose. Tried two other bars and felt a bit like goldilocks! Please see other reviews. I turned

Traditional pub not spoilt by the big brand approach taken by most public houses these days. Bar staff are always friendly and being amongst local faces when you're having a few drinks with friends is what visiting a pub is about for me. Can't fault the place.
