*****Sunday carvery.

Beautiful pub. Amazing hosts! Went today (mothers day) for the carvery. Food was (as usual) absolutely spot on. 3 meats, plenty of veg. Had a dessert this time, absolutely beautiful! I wouldlike to recommend this place to everyone, but then there might not be availability for me!! Seriously though, can't fault the place. And David and Sasha are brilliant. They remember you, and are lovely!! Will be back before long.

*****Amazing place

Visited the carvery for Mother’s Day, our first time at The Royal Oak since moving to Woodhall Spa, it will become a firm favourite for us, staff lovely, the pub was spotless and the decor great, relaxing atmosphere with background music, the carvery was amazing, hot, plentiful and very good quality, tasted like a home made roast, can’t wait to return for other meals in the future and bring visiting friends, will recommend to everyone.

*****Excellent !!!

Had been told several times about food in this pub since the current Landlord and landlady took over. Went for Sunday Carvery and wow!! Three meats available, Mash and Roast spuds, and a great selection vegetables (approx. 5) and all cooked just perfect with the fresh crispy taste. This really is a great clean, fresh establishment. The staff are very polite and on the ball. An all round super village pub, serving value for money excellent food. Call and try it. Very much recommended.

Best steak

Possibly the best steak and haloumi sticks ive ever had. Generous portions and great service.

For an advid foodie, i like to try different dishes on the menu and so far I haven't had a bad meal here but tonight was the turn of the rump steak served on black rock so you can cook it to your own liking. I loved this experience and I dipped it in the accompanying garlic sauce which I would could have just drunk it was that delicious. Will be back soon

£20–30

Just had a lovely family meal at The Royal Oak. We arrived at a not too busy restaurant, we booked anyway, and within 45 mins the place was almost full.
All three meals, Mixed Grill, Seabass, and Steak were good value. The steak was a good cut of meat and the cook yourself option was a first-time experience for me but one I would definately do again.

The pub is very welcoming and friendly with very pet friendly approach. FULLY RECOMMEND.
