“We chose the angel to hold the wake yesterday, for the loss of our mother. We honestly couldn't have asked for more and are so happy we went here. Andy is an absolutely lovely, welcoming guy who was so intent to do whatever we wanted and made us feel so 'looked after'. The food was incredible and atmosphere of the function room and the bar are warm cozy. We aim to return for drinks by the fire and roasts on some Sundays! Thank you team much appreciated x”

“First trip here and it lived up to the stories we had heard and more. We were offered a tour of the smoker and a quick chat on the story behind the setting up of the restaurant. Then back to the large table near the window and a read through the comprehensive menu. We opted for the platter so that we could have a try of everything. When it arrived we had doubts that we would be able to work our way through it all. Everything was delicious. The brisket was soft and succulent, the pulled pork was smoky and all the trimmings were more than enough to fill us up. John the maitre de was helpful, attentive and keen to ensure we had a great time and great food. Will definitely return and cant wait to bring family and friends here.”

“Excellent service Delicious food Dog friendly It was a lovely pub to visit They did a fantastic job in serving a group booking Clean toilets and two sets of, at both ends of the pub and restaurant.

“Me and my girlfriend decided we would try out the food in this fine establishment. We bought a drink at the bar then was taken to our seats to order food. It happened to be steak night and our waiter (Luke) was absolutely amazing, with good old British banter but also very professional. I always get a Rib/eye steak, but like recommended something else by like and I was not disappointed at all. My other half got fish and chips which was cooked to perfection, and oh my god the beef dripping chips are to die for! We will 100% be back, and give Luke a raise because he deserves one!!”

“Royal Oak exceeded all expectations-fantastic food, warm and attentive service, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Every detail was thoughtfully executed. A perfect spot for dining or drinks. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return. Truly a standout experience!”

“We have just had an excellent Sunday lunch at the Jekyll and Hyde. There is a good selection of roasts on the main menu and the roast beef with seasonal vegetables and Yorkshire pudding were all beautifully presented and expertly cooked. The staff were friendly and inviting and we had a really lovely visit. We will definitely recommend the Jekyll and Hyde to friends and family. Looking forward to returning soon and trying more of your expansive menu. Great value for money too!”

“An absolutely gorgeous pub! The food was excellent - everything tasted home made, whether it was or not. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I had the pie with red cabbage and the red cabbage was far too sweet - the same for the gravy with the sausages and mash. Other than that, the best pub meal I've had in a long time and everyone else agreed.”

“Another visit and delighted to see the venue has had a complete refit. Much lighter thought out and a more airy feel. Very welcoming. The tikka sea bass was gorgeous(I pinched a bit from my fellow diner) and my skewered chicken was very tasty accompanied but a very refreshing ginger ale and mint mocktail. All in all a lovely meal.”
