"We popped in for a quick dinner tonight as many places in Nottingham and Derby were closed. The restaurant exceeded our expectations. The venue is clean (including the important toilets), new, and traditional with modern touches. The staff is friendly and attentive. The background music adds to a relaxing atmosphere. The food is excellent and competitively priced, even cheap for the quality offered. Everything is delicious and fresh. The seared cod with samphire was one of the best my wife has had in a long time. The kids menu was generous and affordable. Although we didn't stay in the rooms, we wouldn't hesitate to book in the future after trying their restaurant. We have saved The Royal Oak on Google Maps and will definitely return when in the area. Food and drinks were fresh, well-portioned, nicely presented, affordable, and great overall."

"We stayed for one night prior to a flight at East Midlands Airport and everything was excellent, from the warm, welcoming staff, to the rooms and the simply delicious food (evening and breakfast). Firstly the pub: food, drinks, restaurant… All excellent. The sign of a great pub for ale drinkers is one with knowledgeable staff who are keen to let you sample before deciding on a pint. This was the case here and we worked through all five real ales during the afternoon and evening! Also a great selection of wines, and everything served in the correct glasses I loved the attention to detail. Then the evening meal in the restaurant area of the pub: this was also excellent, with a great menu and top food, in plentiful portions. Really delicious all ‘round. We didn’t manage desserts but starters and mains all great. The pub/restaurant is well presented inside and out, with a lovely beer garden at the back. Secondly, the hotel rooms: we were in rooms 1 2 and both were lovely. They were well presented, comfy beds, nice hospitality tray (with fresh milk in the in room fridge), nice toiletries. The room rate included breakfast, which was all freshly cooked to order and once again, a great selection. I would 100% stay here again, especially if going to/from East Midlands airport which was less than a 10 minute drive. A lovely, traditional country Inn with excellent food and hospitality. Thank you to the full team."

"This pub is a real TARDIS , it looks small from the front, but has some new additions and a large seating space out the back, meaning there 's plenty of space. They had an excellent selection of well kept real ales, priced at between £4.00 £4.20 a pint- unheard of if you 're from the south! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful too. Well worth a visit if you 're staying in the town at the local conference centre hotel."

"I visited the pub with my child who chose it because it had a bouncy castle in Hathern. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the experience. I ordered food at the bar while my friend stayed with our children at the table where we were given menus. I placed my order first, but my friend was told she would have to wait for an hour. The staff did not communicate this wait time beforehand, causing our party to be separated. The food I received was frozen and overpriced. The starters I ordered were small and unappetizing, not freshly made. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. When we ordered desserts, we requested them to be brought to the garden, which again seemed like a lot to ask for. Despite these issues, my son enjoyed his food, the bouncy castle, and play equipment in the garden. However, we had to leave quickly as the garden started smelling of weed."

"I have been going to this restaurant for years for special occasions, and it has always been fantastic. However, on my last visit for a first date, things went completely wrong. We ordered two different steak meals, each with a different cooking style and sauce. When the meals arrived, they had the wrong sauces and were cooked incorrectly. I spoke to the manager about the issue, but it led to an awkward situation. I asked for the meals to be prepared correctly, but was told that mine would then be cold. Instead of replacing the meals, we ended up accepting what we were given. This disastrous experience ruined my first date and I ended up paying over £89 for it. It was definitely not a Marc Pierre moment. Since then, I have taken my business elsewhere. It's unfortunate, as I used to really enjoy this restaurant before this incident."
