The Royal Oak in South Northamptonshire

Wanted to have a pub roast but unfortunately due to mum being very poorly we were unable to go out and enjoy the luxury of being waited on. So I had a brainwave. Most weekends through the early part of last year we had a takeaway roast from here and it was outstanding. So, I popped in here on the way home from work one evening the other week and asked if they would be kind enough to do me two roast dinner's as a takeaway.....and the happily obliged and I arranged a time to call in and collect. On the Sunday it turned out to be a rather warm day so I after paying I advised I would wait outside as I had the dog in the car and would they yell when ready and I would come back in. The lovely girl behind the bar Rd me to stay with the dog and she would bring them out to me. After a short wait she brought them out and they were red hot so I knew had been freshly prepared and not just sitting on the side waiting collection. When I got them the short drive home they were still piping hot. To save on the washing up we are from the trays, THE MEAT WAS TO DIE FOR! so tender and very tasty, as was all the food and plentiful. So thanks to the staff for a tasty meal and for helping me with my request of a takeaway will certainly be back

We chose to have lunch here as it had excellent food reviews, we weren't dissappointed. Unassuming exterior but beautifully updated inside.

Fantastic local pub. We have NEVER had a bad meal in here. The wholesome, homemade menu changes frequently and with the season and portions are perfect. Service is impeccable and so friendly. Kids menu on offer and awesome outside space for the warmer months, gin selection is superb. Highly recommend.

Called in with a couple of friends for a drink and hoped to experience their deli'. That had been stopped post-pandemic, so glad we'd already eaten. Very welcoming atmosphere and landlady. Clean and comfortable seating. Will be back again

A truly traditional country pub, complete with roaring log fire! Staff very friendly and attentive. Menu was not boring, with well presented and cooked food. We had a great Xmas Eve lunch here.

We had a delicious lunch today in the lovely outdoor garden. It's a lovely pub, very traditional with lots of flowers in baskets and planters. The outdoor space is spacious and well thought out. The food was excellent, chicken pie with lovely seasonal vegetables with butter. Service was really good from a polite and welcoming young man. We were able to take our dog too. Much recommended. We will definitely be back!

Great village pub. The food was really nice and decent portion. There were so much meat in the lamb dish, the lamb was slow cooked so very tender and juicy. Children enjoyed their food, too. They have a good selection of the beers and a lot of tables in the outdoor area with heaters.

Charming pub with excellent food.What a gem of a pub is the Royal Oak. They have a good one way system in place to keep you safe and a book to record visitors for track and trace.The bar area is well laid out with a good selection of beers and sprits and looks like it have been recently been refurbished keeping the charm and features from the original building.The dinning room also looks like it has recently been refurbished. Once again very in keeping with the original building but very stylish with a modern theme.The menu is short but plentiful - something for everyone. We ordered and our food arrived swiftly. The presentation was spot on and tasted even better than it looked. Our mains also looks good on the plate and were super tasty and perfectly cooked. We didn't have a dessert as we were full!This pub is a real gem of a find and we will definitely be back at some point depending on the covid situation.

Fantastic pub, which has jumped to one of my favourites. Chance encounter post lockdown. Great beer garden, they love dogs and can't wait to try the food

Just popped in for a quick pint on the way back from exploring the delights of Castle Ashby. Fabulous pint of Tring beer, and was pleasantly surprised that the choice of ales included 2 under 4%; which is rare and great for the pop in pint crowd, or sessioners 👌🏼We didn't eat but had a look at the week and weekend menus that looked varied and extremely tasty. The reccomendation from a local was the pie using the local cheese! We will be back soon to try the food for sure!We were made to feel incredibly welcome by the friendly and helpful staff! A certain reccomendation. **Watch out for the food review soon! **
