The Royal Oak - Menu

It's like walking into a dog kennel. Wanted to eat but turned straight round and walked out. If you can put up with the barking and wet dog stench, I'm sure you'll enjoy your meal but not for us anymore.

Me and my lass visited here over the weekend and had a lovely evening meal after been recommended to us. The staff are very friendly and made you feel welcome. The food was beautiful and would recommend to anyone.

The lambs liver was awful. I think it was beef liver or a very old ram. It was so tough the knife wouldn't go through it. It was sent back and we didn't pay for it but it spoiled a normally lovely lunch. Another diner sent theirs back too . We won't be back .

Visited many times, but today very disappointed, I had the lamb dinner, the meat was very fatty and not much flavour, my husband had the Stilton pie, neither was worth the price we paid, we then were asked if we would like desserts, after waiting 15 mins for someone to take our order, we left .

I have been coming to this pub for years and sending many others this way, for one reason, the Beef and Stilton Pie. This was an exceptional stew style pie with puff pastry. Unfortunately they have changed this dish to a small shortcrust pie and coupled with an excessive number of chips to fill the plate. To be honest you’d now be better off going to M&S for your pie needs. A real shame!

they get a cordial greeting from the employees, shown on a table that was comfortable and spacious. family came and drinks were ordered while we read the menu, reorder at the table taken all very nice and efficient. when the food arrived, I was amazed how much we had eaten on our tellers, in spite of being a little over welmed that was nice. hot, well presented and very tasty. we will go back in any case

visited with our two girls (2.5 years and 9 months) to lunch in the week. we used the tapas menu for our starters, we had the Mac'n'cheese bits with buffalo dip and the bubby. both excellent, really enjoyed the buffalo dip. we then had the bbq chicken melt and the bark-stiltone cake. the girls had pieces of our plates that are good, as the portions are very generous. amazing cake, amazing chips! the wait staff very friendly and interacted with our girls who was beautiful and I think made the experience more pleasant for them.

We visited for a family lunch and were not disappointed. The pub was busy but staff were attentive and welcoming as soon as we arrived. Tables are quite close together so there is not loads of room but we were still comfortable. Our meals were all lovely, myself and my husband would highly recommend one of their pies. I did have an unwanted garlic clove in my pie but a glass of wine was removed from our bill which wasn’t request or expected but very much appreciated. We couldn’t fit puddings in the the banoffee delivered to the table beside us looked delicious. We will definitely return if we are back in the area

An absolute gem in the peaks, lovely location beautiful pub, great staff. We've had the Royal Oak as a firm favourite for years now, needless to say when they took the bold move to change the ledgenry steak and Stilton pie I was a tad concerned. No need the change whilst very different and a bit smaller was definitely a change for the good, short crust pastry buttery that melts stuffed with tender beef and some Stilton, proper home cooked chips greens and a boat of proper gravy. The other half had the lamb duo which he w Said was great tasty lamb great feta and olives. Whether out for a drive or a walk can't recommend the Royal Oak enough
