The Royal Oak - Carta

Fairly average pub, stopped by for a couple of drinks with a group of colleagues. Moved on elsewhere.

Pub was very busy but nice to see some of the history. Prices made are eyes water after a round of drinks

Terrible atmosphere, the manger associated us with the wrong group and band us from all pubs around Winchester. We had one beer. Manager was rude and harsh, no reasoning and explanation. Ver carta

Good beer and a nice wide range of choices on offer. Outside and inside seating are both lovely, especially with the heaters outside for the colder evenings. Only 4 stars as it is pretty pricey but a good pub regardless

22nd of August had a drink and pub quiz had started Absolutely horrified at the quiz master who was obviously a misogynist and racist made some very uncomfortable comments which I will not repeat and will therefore not return

My husband and I had an early lunch at the Royal Oak today. I had the special soft shell crab burger a first for me, and if you are a seafood lover like me, I highly recommend it. It was delish!! The service was brilliant and the staff were very courteous and engaging. Will be returning for another soft shell crab burger! Ver carta

Went to the Royal Oak as the quiz started. The quiz master made jokes about fat birds.not nice .Then he said his jokes would make a black guy blush .followed by other racist comments .we left as we were disgust. I did tell him he was racist but he just laughed it off. This’s is not how a pub should be run in this day and age .

Terri was an absolute delight!! Really made my day! So friendly, helpful and had time to chat after what seemed like a busy lunch service! Food was amazing and terri was very helpful in helping me with my dietary requirements as I’m gluten intolerant! Easy to talk to and knew about the history of the building too really! Thank you again Terri!

My wife I had a lovely lunch on the 27/08/24 with great service in the Royal Oak. On a very hot Tuesday it was nice and cool in the lovely surroundings of the Royal Oak and there were plenty of tables to chose from when we arrived at about 13:00 hours. The food was well presented served nice and hot, the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. We were fascinated by the history of the building which dates back to 1002. Having been visiting Winchester regularly for over the last 20 years we can not understand why we have not had a meal at the Royal Oak before but we will now be returning again in the future.
