The bar food is much better as it's tasty, good value and you get massive portions!

What was totally unacceptable was the behavior of the assistant manager who lied tried to argue that the dish did not come with potatoes until I showed her the menu and blamed my 92 year old father for not speaking up about his overcooked pie. I have never encountered such a rude and argumentative individual. Overall a very stressful experience.

I eat out maybe once every 2-3 weeks. The Royal Oak, being on the main road that it is, was always a restaurant I drove passed rather than to. This is a big mistake. Environment - A rustic feel, warm and comfortable with soft music in the background, which is loud enough to be heard but not so that it interrupts conversation. There was great selection of music from the 50s and 60s. It has a Great décor with some lovely horse paintings and a displayed wine rack, some ornaments that are tasteful and fit well. The restaurant is excellently lit with a mellow ambiance throughout. The restaurant was very busy for a Monday evening but the standards did not falter. A classic British pub. Waiting staff - the restaurants best feature! There were 2 young people, a male and female who were professionally presented. They were very courteous and attentive but not in your face hassling every 2 minutes. They gave us the impression that they took great pride in their work and as a diner it was really great to see. They meander through the tables in a way that they can be noticed and not distracting at the same time. All the smiles in all the right places. They gave us time to sit, converse generally and discuss what each other was having, but were at our table as soon as we were ready. They know what they're doing, we also did not feel rushed. The manager has made a great hire here (I don't know if it's family run). The Menu - It was quite extensive which often leads me to expect a jack of all meals but master of none. This was not the case. The chef nailed it. My Meal - Deep fried brie starter, 10oz steak for main with a mushroom sauce and a Dime pie dessert. Good portion sizes throughout. My Mum's meal: Gammon and half of my brie starter (Cheeky sod). Also deep fried onion rings. The brie was fab, crisp and oozy with a cranberry sauce that went well with it. After eating this I knew the chef had skills which made me quite excited for my main. A nice salad accompaniment broke up the flavour nicely. Without it I feel the taste would become monotonous. My mum, who doesn't generally eat starters or puddings, happily dug into mine and said that it was really lovely. A very talented chef we have here. I have eaten a lot of steaks and it's generally what I order. I don't want to appear that I am exaggerating and I would critique where necessary. When I say this was literally the best steak I've ever eaten it is not just a positive comment... I've spent time trying to think of a better steak and can't find one. Mushroom sauce was a little bit like a soup, very tasty but a little bit runny. Chips and bowl of salad were lovely and fresh with big chunky chips, home cut that were nice and fluffy. The gammon was a good thick piece of gammon that was browned excellently. With egg and pineapple, my mum who isn't a big eater cleared her plate. The onion rings were home made and not store bought. She commented how she definitely wasn't having a pudding because she wanted the taste to remain a bit longer. Dime cake- a really lovely pie with a scoop of ice cream and a chocolate sauce drizzle. It was very nice but did not blow me away in the same way the brie and the steak did. Including a pint and half of coke and two soda waters the meal came to £37:60. We most certainly did not feel that we got the weekends leftovers. General comments: Did not try the ale but noticed a cask marque outside the door. The parking was very easy. Layout included the right amount of tables I.e. we were not squashed in but not a mile apart either. I liked that the food was served on plates rather than a roof tile or bed of hay. They have worked hard to get this level of excellence. I will be back. I'm incredibly annoyed at myself; I have lived in Thornhill my whole life and never visited this place. Well done.
