The Royal Oak At Wootton Rivers

Had the best fish and chips pub lunch I’ve had in a long time sitting out in the courtyard with a couple of pints after a long dog walk in the glorious surrounding countryside. Perfection.

Visited while camping in the area. Had steak and ale pie and chicken breast in a cream garlic and bacon sauce with fresh veg. Absolutely delicious. Generous portion. Would definitely recommend.

Recently, I've been very disappointed with eating Sunday lunch out. NOT SO at The Royal Oak. Wonderful pub, friendly staff, great service and the food was delicious, hot and beautifully presented. Will definitely be returning again. Ver carta

Stopped here for a meal whilst on a boating trip on the canal. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed the food so decided to stop off again when passing on return journey. Again not disappointed. Would totally recommend. With a special thank you to Damion who ensured we were well looked after.

We arrived Friday evening after spotting the sign on the main road it was later in the evening and relatively quiet,it’s a lovey old country pub that gives off a feeling welcome and comfort as soon as you enter, the food was straight forward and tasty (lovely chips and the beer was moreish , the kind of place you don’t really want to leave.

Stopped for dinner whilst moored by the lock. Initially disappointed for it to be our Tuesday. However, the disappointment was very short lived. A great choice of pies and they were delicious. The food was served with beautiful fresh vegetables and lovely chunky chips. We enjoyed it so much so we are hanging around for lunch today before setting off down the canal. Ver carta

We moored up our holiday canal boat and walked into the village a very postcard village indeed, we booked a table beforehand (advisable) the food was hot and very tasty, great selection of beers and ciders being a free house and the staff and locals were very welcoming I recommend this pub to anyone visiting the Kennet and Avon canal excellent service and excellent food.

Decided to call in here on the way to Swindon, the pub is down a winding country road in a pleasant village near the Kennet and Avon Canal. The pub dates from the 16th Century and is attractive both inside and out. My main course a casserole was very ordinary but the dessert , a panna cotta was delicious. The house wine, a Merlot, was exceptionally good. The staff were friendly; I loved the empty wine bottles painted with flowers which were on the tables. The pub is dog friendly.

We returned to the Royal Oak after some years for Sunday lunch. Limited menu (a far cry from the old days of a long list of microwaved, frozen, ready meals). Good value a generous country portion of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings for £15. The food was hot, freshly cooked, tasty and served on a hot plate. Some might prefer gravy to be served in a separate jug. The Royal Oak is as attractive as ever a fine old country pub in a village on the Kennet Avon canal. Just the sort of place that should be supported to stay in business. It seemed to be doing well. The restaurant was almost full but with room for walk ins. Dog friendly. Good beer. Good service, as long as you are no... Ver carta
