Reviews in Nantwich

Booked a table for 4 for Sunday night at 6pm. We arrived and we’re seated and presented with the menus. We all chose the Sunday beef roast. When they arrived the meals looked pretty small and took approx 5 mins later for the veg to arrive. We started to eat and two out of the main meals the two roast potatoes (that’s all we got and they were tiny) were rock hard and we couldn’t eat them along with the Yorkshire puddings. The meat was ok and the veg was nice albeit small portions also and were not big eaters. We then asked for another round of drinks and 10 mins later they hadn’t arrived so we had to ask again. When the waitress came to take our plates away she asked if everything was ok, we explained about our meals and she said she would mention it to the chef, she then returned to say that the two meals that we mentioned wouldn’t be charged for. We thought this was very decent of them however we were still hungry so had to order a dessert instead and that was delicious. The Royal Oak is really nice inside and outside but was just a pity the food wasn’t Upto scratch and probably sadly we wouldn’t return.

A lovely setting, done a fantastic job at renovating the place, the outdoor area is lovely also, and would be great in the summer, service fantastic. Food very disappointing, very basic, very limited menu. A few mishaps with the food and not up to standard unfortunately. I do hope this can be improved for the future as an amazing place with great potential.

The oak was great the staff the food and everything was excellent

Hi, you’ve done a fantastic job of renovating the Royal Oak and your food is reasonably priced and good quality, thanks for a great evening, see you again soon?

My wife and I enjoyed a very pleasant luncheon here on a Friday. The atmosphere was very relaxed yet the staff were very efficient and pleasant. Food was great and the conservatory dining area very nice. All in all an enjoyable day. We will be returning frequently. I have no hesitations about recommending it.

Amazing service and amazing food!

Lovely location with light airy restaurant. Good food at excellent price . Shall return

We visited as a family with our dog, last Sunday. We sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was good and the service was efficient. We will be returning.

We went last night for a bank holiday meal out. Lovely atmosphere, a little wait on the food but good service. Food was ok, I would say after the wait it wasn’t the best but not the worst I’ve had either. I had the bangers and mash but my hubby had the pie and loved it. Kids dinners were good portions and everyone loved their desserts. I would recommend blue light card or nhs discount and also to be able to take cash and not just card.

Great food at very reasonable prices. Super waitress service at the table. Lovely atmosphere in the Oak.

Myself and wife booked in for a Sunday Roast and the place was heaving both inside and out. Our Roast was a bit hit and miss with the Roasted Spuds so hard that even the knife couldn`t open them. But even worst I did expect Mashed Potatoes to come with the main course ie Sunday Roast usually incorporates Mashed. Not so, I had to spend a further £3.50 as it was classed as an "extra". Can`t fault the veg as they were superb. Upon ordering the dessert I had the Cheesecake but they had run out of the Chocolate & Orange but at least they had the Cherry one. Or so I thought !! Sorry but having dined out locally throughout Cheshire I have never had bloody GLACED CHERRIES from a bottle and I was expecting "proper cherry fruit". And finally to add insult they wanted to charge me for an extra pint which I didn`t have nor ordered. So a bit hit and miss but we will return on a midweek mission to sample more food and perhaps we were just unlucky to have visited when they were at a premium with guests. Service by waiters etc was excellent and even the value for money. BUT PLEASE CHEF JUST THROW THE BLOODY GLACED CHEERIES IN THE BIN !!

We visited the Royal Oak for a meal on Saturday August 27th. The place itself is lovely with a feeling of openness about it. The service was very good but the food was distinctly average. I had the Bangers and Mash which was pleasant enough but my partner had the vegan cottage pie which she described as very dry, tasteless and something she imagined to be akin to "Prison food". In fact she was only able to eat half of it and described it as disgusting. At no point during the consumption of our meal did anyone ask if everything was alright with the meal. There was only one Vegan option on the menu and 2 other vegetarian options which is also a little disappointing As I say, I can't fault the place in terms of ambience and service and maybe we just copped a bad day, but it is fair to say it was very disappointing.

We had a lovely Sunday dinner here yesterday with 2 toddlers. They were very accommodating and the childrens portions were really good (we should have just got 1 between them). We all enjoyed ourselves and will be back :)

Very disappointed, we pre booked 7 meals for Saturday evening of 20/08/22, one starter Tiger Prawns were cold, one chicken supreme potatoes which should have been mashed were cold and lumpy, the broccoli was cold and not cooked. The second meal was vegetarian pie, the potato mash was lumpy and the pie was cold at the bottom of the dish. Having spoken to the staff stating this was the second time the meals were sub standard and also having a review emailed to me, i phoned and asked if they really wanted me to fill in the questionnaire, the reply was the manager would phone me. As of a week later there has been no response from management, this is why the questionnaire has been filled in. I feel very sorry for the owners who have spent a vast amount of money and time on the Royal Oak to be let down by the quality of food supplied to there customers

Second Visit since re opening great food, drinks and service both times, excellent value for money, friendly warm and welcoming staff will be back soon

Place was lovely and the main waitress was excellent. Food was ok but no gravy with the pie and did ask for it. Food a bit dry round the edges and looked like it had been standing out for a bit. Can't describe peas and a bit of broccoli as seasonal veg.

The location and the building are great, plenty of light clean and tidy. The food was fine but nothing special. The chips were excellent and plenty of them, veg was limited to peas for everyone. There was also evidence that some of the meat was frazzled at the edges. Overall ok but not brilliant
