    Do you like pub food? Do you like Michelin stars? Do you want an amazing meal with little to no…read morepretension? Do you want to go to a pub that's practically in the middle of nowhere? If you answered yes to these four questions, head immediately to The Royal Oak. We had a slight concern when my GPS said we had arrived and it was a completely different pub. Luckily, the right pub was just a bit further up the road. We booked Sunday Lunch, because who doesn't like Sunday Lunch in a pub? If you bring your Ferrari, you can park right in the front as well! The inside is really warm and charming. There are really friendly staff there to welcome you in and let you sit in some comfy chairs and couches and have a drink while you're waiting for your fourth dining companion to arrive. So kudos to that. Our table was in the back in what looked like was an add-on. But one whole wall is full of windows overlooking a beautiful garden, so you don't really feel like you're shoved way in the back corner. The service was a bit slow, but if you're not in a rush, why does it matter? We ordered the baked Vacherin Mont d'or cheese (which in the winter, I will be doing at home instead of baked brie or Camembert) and a couple of Scotch Eggs and Rabbit on toast as pre-nibbles. The eggs and rabbit were nice, but not amazing, but the cheese dip was great. And the bread basket they served was awesome as well. Several types of bread with butter. The olive flatbreads were awesome, and since two diners didn't like olives, two of us got to eat a lot of them. They'll bring as much bread as you ask, but it's super easy to go overboard. For my starter I opted for something different than everyone else and got the game terrine. What a mistake that was. Not that the terrine wasn't delicious. It was, but the rabbit lasagne was like heaven in your mouth. I was super jealous of everyone else. For my main I ordered the hare and trotter pie. The crust wasn't the most amazing, but the filling was probably the best pie filling I've ever had. The hare and trotter were soft and luscious and the gravy was phenomenal. It was really rich so toward the end I had to cut the richness with the delicious mash they served with it. The other half had the woodcock and I tried a few bites of that as well. Awesome. Simply awesome. His only complaint was that it was huge and very rich so it was hard to finish it all, and he didn't want dessert at the end of the meal. For dessert, two of us ordered the chocolate fondant and one the butterscotch pudding. I loved the fondant, but again it was really good sized and incredibly rich. It was a lot after the rich pie. And the filling was almost too oozy. At least it wasn't over done. We also ordered some Madeleines and our coffees and teas came with Petits Fours. The Madeleines were kind of boring for me, they needed more flavor, but the Petits Fours (a raisin cake, coconut marshmallow and a chocolate truffle) were great. The coffee not so much. I hate ordering filter coffee and just getting a long pull espresso. They are not the same. But the bad parts were really minor. The good parts far outshown and some of the dishes we had were some of the best dishes of the weekend. The woodcock was fantastic and I'm still having dreams about my pie. I need to figure out how to make something that good at home. With a better pie crust. It's unfortunate that it's not really conveniently close, because I could see myself ending up here quite a bit. Since I was driving, I couldn't drink either, but given my state the night before, it was probably a good thing. If you're in the area and fancy an amazingly laid back atmosphere with awesome food, book this place!

    Wonderful gastro pub tucked away in the Berkshire countryside. Beautiful tasty food (the rabbit…read morelasagna in the starters is to die for!!!), very friendly and professional service, and reasonable prices. Go for a long morning walk along the Tames nearby and then go and enjoy a warm & hearty Sunday lunch.

    Although it isn't really that local, this is the pub I consider to be my local. It's too far to…read morewalk but it provides a good excuse to get the push bike out and the ride home always seems shorter than the ride there! Very nice traditional freehold pub with a range of real ales and ciders. Mick and Wendy are very friendly hosts, recently took over as landlord and landlady and seem to have good ideas for the place. I would recommend it to others and look forward to seeing how they progress. A point to note is they have extended their opening hours beyond those kept by the previous keepers, the cider prevents me from remembering exact details but they are open every day and all day long Friday to Sunday I think! In essence this is a pub like pubs should be. The closing time is open to negotiation, you may be kept waiting at the bar while the landlord finishes his game of darts, there will probably be a dog or two wandering around the bar area - yours will be welcome too, if it is cold there will be a fire lit and if you come more than once then people will make the effort to remember your name. It's a welcome change from a Greene King, Weatherspoons et al.

It has great views over the countryside if you can ignore the busy road at the front. I have only had lunch here at ate outside, the food was alright, had burger and chips and it was well cooked. There is a nice outside seating area with some swings. Great to go here if you dont want to bump into anyone and just have a quiet drink away from it all. You get some office staff here for lunch and a few regulars but it never has been busy when I have visited.

The interior was clean and modern and we were sat close to a suspended open fire which added a nice cosy feel. The menu and specials board was clearly written around the available ingredients rather than a collection of preconceived dishes and although our waitress couldn't answer our queries about a couple of the dishes herself she didn't hesitate to check with the chef and come straight back to us. A few vegetarian options available for both starter and main courses The food was well presented and portion sizes were just right. My triple cooked chips were on the whole pretty good although a few seemed a little undercooked in the middle. Not quite up to Heston's standard, but then not with his price tag either! We skipped dessert so can't comment on that, but the items on offer looked fairly standard dessert fayre. All told a very nice dining experience. 2 covers with wine was just under £60
