We turned right on entering the pub and found ourselves in the bar rather than the restaurant ( nothing wrong with the restaurant - we like bars!). It was lovely - exactly what a country pub should look like. Massive open fire, beams, with tables and chairs that looked like they had been there when the pub was built!
The customers felt it was OK to put logs on the fire if it appeared to be dying down - that sort of pub!
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Due to the weather we enjoyed 3 lunches at the Oak and loved everyone of them. The salad dressing was to die for ( can I have the recipe please!!!).
If you like traditional country pubs that are snug, cosy and welcoming then this is for you! Go for a walk around the reservoir to build up an appetite and have lunch at the Royal Oak - you wont regret it!
