The Olde Royal Oak - Carta

Beautiful village. Nice pub, friendly staff however we found the ale selection is lacking. Was expecting a Chatsworth Gold, Thornbridge or even Bass!

Sunday lunch after a walk in the Manifold Valley. Our hosts were superb, attentive and catered for our dietary needs. A lovely atmosphere cosy and friendly! Will definitely be back!!

The home-cooked food at this restaurant is truly delicious, and the atmosphere is lovely. The staff were all incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful. I would definitely recommend dining here! Ver carta

This is an amazing place we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here very nice food and good service, staff were amazing and let us stay here while we waited 3 hours to get picked up because we got stranded. Highly recommend if your in the area

A welcome rest stop today during a 13 mile muddy walk with a wet whippet. We enjoyed a very warm welcome from Dan, who shared his knowledge of the history of the pub, the unique cellar drop. The beer was fantastic next time we must try the food. Would highly recommend!

I would highly recommend this excellent pub. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating to our large family group of 10, which included a baby and 2 dogs, for Sunday lunch. They have a great selection of beers and a variety of delicious dishes, many of which are homemade. Another smaller party also dined there for lunch and dinner and enjoyed well-cooked meals with generous portion sizes. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Ver carta

We were camping in the area for the week and sampling the local hostelries in the evenings after long walks during the day. I had pre-booked the Royal Oak a couple of weeks before and was not at all disappointed by the quality of the food and the tasty Isobar beer. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we returned later in the week to sample further items on the menu. The homemade enchiladas are large and tasty! Keep up the good work and we are sure to return when next in the area.

My husband and I visited The Royal Oak about 8 years ago and recently stopped by while on holiday in Stanshope. We were impressed by the friendly and welcoming staff, who even allowed our dog inside. The barman was pleasant and showed us to our table, while we chose our meals from the menu. We both enjoyed delicious hotpot pies with sides, and our desserts were also fantastic. The food is all handmade and tastes amazing. The chef, who may also be the owner, came out to check on guests and it was clear he takes pride in his work. We had a lovely experience and will definitely be back on our next visit. Our dog even got a treat! Thank you!

I would rate this pub a zero if possible… We came to this pub after a long walk around Wetton in the thunder and lightning. We order coffees and cakes and sat down and one of our friends had a salad pre packed because of his diet. We was then giving a dirty look by an old woman I guess was either the owner or wife of the owner. She rudely said “you cannot eat food in these premises” then proceeded to make comments as she was walking off. We continued to finish our drinks and then the chef came up to our table with shouting saying “you cannot eat that, I’ve been slaving away since 7am this is a restaurant, would you do this anywhere else?” The lady then said in passing “I hope you suffocate o...
