I had been told great things about the Sunday Roast, so I decided to visit and try it for myself while watching football. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was quite good. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Yorkshire Pudding – it was perfectly crispy on top and wonderfully stodgy at the bottom. Although the mashed potatoes were tasty, I believe a traditional roast should only have roasted potatoes. The three roasted potatoes looked crispy but were a bit lacking. The beef wasn't of the highest quality, but it was cooked well. Considering the price (just under £7), the portion size was very generous. The local patrons and staff were all very friendly as well.
This pub has recently undergone a facelift. The finish is crisp and clean and kept well by the new management team of Sharron and Terry. The toilets are totally refurbished and clean . There is a beer garden should you wish to sit out in the sun. They now do food on the premises . This is a simple menu but is good food and well presented . Sunday lunch is excellent value for money. There are a lot of locals use this establishment and most people seem to know one another. However it is not a click and everyone who visits is welcomed . There are three pubs in the local area and this one for me is the best . I now visit and eat and drink regulary with my wife and family.
After rushing through my visit to this establishment, I accidentally left a box of cigars and a cigar cutter on my table. When I returned to see if they had been turned in, I discovered that they had been stolen by someone in the pub. I was appalled by the actions of the individuals allowed into this establishment. I have no intention of returning to this pub in the near future. It is disheartening to think that someone would seek to steal from their own local pub. I advise caution to others, as it appears that handbags may be the next target. Very disappointed with my experience here.
Decided to try the the Royal Oak after it has been refurbished, and found it to be potentially an excellent local pub. The landlord was pleasant, the beer was excellent, and the new refurbishment is first class, complete with a wood burning stove. I'm told that the food is also good, although I've not tried it. The only downside was that the bar seats were occupied by a number of individuals who were vaping at the bar, most of the time I was there. Spoilt the ambience a bit.

I had never considered The Oak as a dining option before, but we were recommended to go there today. The portion sizes were good, the prices were reasonable, and the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Although there was a slight issue with condiments, it was quickly resolved and did not affect the overall experience. This was my first time at The Oak and I would definitely recommend it for drinks as well.
We booked the Royal Oak for our dads wake. We asked if we could have a hot and cold buffet and were told this was no problem. All I can say is that it was EXCELLENT even to the point an extra vegan plate was made up for us on the spot, and food, oh there was plenty and delishious. Dad certainly got the send off he deserved, I can't thank everyone involved enough. SUPERB. Thank you!!
£6.49 for a decent Sunday roast, can't complain. Gravy was decent and the mash is an absolute belter, the only slight problem was receiving sweetcorn instead of cauliflower cheese but it's hardly a deal breaker, especially when you're paying less than a tenner for a decent meal and a pint of real ale.
I live around the corner from this place and it has a very good vibe! The food looks really great and I will be trying this next time I go in. I am very impressed with the pub, the staff and the selection available.

Popped in here as I had heard good things. It lived up to the expectation. Really friendly landlord, good food and a really nice vibe. Will definitely visit again.
Nice place, great selection of drinks and a great environment in a quaint little village on the outskirts of Runcorn
