The Royal Oak in West Oxfordshire

This is a real gem. Lovely staff and some nice Wadworth ales on offer. The interior is warm and inviting and every time we have visited the musical playlist has been excellent...and played at a sensible volume that doesn't overwhelm your conversation! Great pub.

Absolutely lovely place to eat! Staff are incredibly friendly and seem to genuinely love working here. Portions are very large and all food is super high quality. The famous pies live up to their reputation and make the perfect treat after a long walk. Relaxed, cozy and friendly atmosphere - the ideal country pub!

Absolutely fantastic - visited today for lunch with family and friends, and it couldn't have been better. Friendly, efficient staff, great food and a lovely atmosphere. Wonderful place, and we'll certainly be back.

Lovely little English pub in beautiful Burford. Nice staff and dog friendly which is always useful! Food was amazing and big portions…we both had a pie as other reviews recommended them. I’m not a pie lover but even I agree these pies were delicious. Starter was also lovely. Overall a lovely meal and would definitely go again!

My wife and I both had really tasty proper pies in here and the pub was warm which has been lacking in 1 or 2 other pubs just recently. Overall very friendly and enjoyable.

I have a meal here last night and had to write a review.I had the beef and ale pie and was not disappointed.The pastry was made on the premises and the beef was of a very high standard as well. The vegetables were very fresh.The chunky chips were of the same high standard, as the pie.I will admit by far the best pie I have eaten.The staff were very courteous and interacted well.I can nor recommend visiting here enough.

We visited the Royal oak on the 28th Jan 22. We had a table booked for 7.15pm, due to the distance we traveled (from Yorkshire and London) we under estimated our timings and arrived 10 minutes late. We were met by the most miserable person at the front of house. I would have understood her terrible attitude if the pub had been really busy but there were several tables available. This attitude continued throughout the whole evening which really tarnished our experience.i must say the food was good for pub food but this person running front of house should consider if she is happy in the job she is being paid to do.

Had a great meal at The Royal Oak on Saturday afternoon.Had never visited any pubs in Burford before, but did our research and found this place was apparently famous for its pies. The food did not dissapoint! We ordered the Chicken pie with chips and Curry Lamb pie with Mash. Both lovely, would STRONGLY recommend the Lamb, the spices were on point! Which is not easy to get right in pub food. We did find the prices of the pies were expensive, when compared to the rest of the food.I give 4* as I felt the atmosphere was not the best. It's a little run down, could do with a makeover.

A fantastic Sunday lunch at The Royal Oak!The atmosphere in the pub and the welcome/service/attention from the staff was superb and made the afternoon the highlight of a weekend in the Cotswolds. The pies were fresh, packed full of flavour and ingredients and worth travelling a long way for, whilst the other food was thoughtfully presented and very tasty. Thank you so much.

Booked a table for a Friday night, managed to get sat down early following some drinks at the bar.Food was lovely, had the chicken and local nduja sausage, and the wife had the vegetarian goats cheese and chestnut pie. Both great portions and delicious.Very friendly bar staff and waitresses, and nice atmosphere with the fire on.See you again soon for another good meal!
