🐣 Easter Sunday at The Royal Oak 🐣 Join us on Sunday 5th April for our Easter Sunday set menu — three courses for £35. We’ve got a proper line-up of starters, classic Sunday roasts (including British beef, chicken, pork, and lamb rump), and some great puddings to finish things off. Perfect for settling in for a relaxed Easter Sunday with good food and a glass of something nice. 🍽️🍷 You might spot a small typo on the menu… yes, it currently says “lamp rump.” We can confirm there will be no lamps on the plate, only lamb. Honest mistake, but we’re quite enjoying it. 💡🐑 Bookings recommended for Easter Sunday. Give us a call or pop in to reserve a table.

We love dogs here at the Royal Oak! If you’ve got a dog with you, they’re more than welcome to come in. We keep water bowls out, treats behind the bar, and plenty of dog blankets around the pub so they can settle in comfortably. The star of today’s photo is Luna, who belongs to Matt — the one usually behind the bar if Gareth isn’t. She’s made herself comfortable on the bench, nicely perched on one of our dog blankets of course. Dogs always welcome. Owners too. 🍻🐶
