About The Royal Oak Watford Heath

The Royal Oak has a great location on the edge of Watford Heath and the Grade II-listed building has been given a new lease of life after a recent makeover. Experienced restaurateurs Lee and Sue Colbert have revitalised the classic old pub, giving it a South African twist. You can dine inside or out and their home-cooked meals use the best locally sourced ingredients. Expect their take on a traditional British menu infused with a taste of their native city Durban. The chicken wings are legendary. Food is served from 4pm Tuesday to Thursday and from 12 noon Friday to Sunday.

Wonderful place for Sunday lunch. Great food & service

Been asked to write a review by email. Sadly not possible as when I turned up they had no record of my booking. Went to the Three Horseshoes in Letchmore Heath which was outstanding!

Paolo

Great food, good atmosphere, nice people running it and all around one of the few nice pub in the area, Lucky to have it so close!

A brilliant family venue with the best Sunday roast in Watford. Staff are all very friendly and the whole atmosphere is homely and pleasant.

Great evening meal with friends and friendly staff.

Stephen Edwards

Great roast beef Sunday lunch, and a decent pint! Thanks!

George Tansey

Had a fantastic lunch staff friendly and helpful. A really quaint setting for Sunday lunch. Food was amazing and a great choice of food. Probably one little criticism is the roast potatoes were a bit aunt Bessie's. The rest of the food was excellent.

Been coming to this pub for more than 30 years seen many new landlords etc ! Something right for me to keep coming back… Food was good , mine was a tad dry but probably chose the wrong thing we were 5 and all said how nice food was. Friday lunch time quiet to start but got busier as the day went on !

Came for the first time in a few years for a Sunday Roast with the family. The food was tasty and I would come back. As I was emailed and asked to leave a review I will add, we were disappointed that when asking for some extra gravy, we were told you had to pay an extra £3.50 and the reason being was because it was 'homemade' and not granules. When paying over £23 per roast dinner, I would have expected it was homemade anyway. I think when you are ordering bottles of wine, starters and roast dinners, being asked to pay an additional cost for a small amount of gravy leaves a sour taste in your mouth. I'd much rather there be an extra 50p on everyones meals and people feel like you can ask for some more gravy with your roast, without being charged. Overall we had a great day, but that would be my constructive feedback x
