Seasonal Menus

Our food is created by head chef Dominic Chapman, who brings his philosophy of preparing the best seasonal produce very simply with care and attention – we think of it as “British food done well”. We serve seasonal lunch and dinner menus, which might include roast grouse, line-caught sea bass, Dublin Bay prawns or oxtail and kidney pie. We source our ingredients direct from the coast or farms around Britain, and having a good relationship with our suppliers is essential to our philosophy, and maintaining our high standards.

The Management

Nick and general manager, Gherras Mo, have taken care to retain the ‘pub’ atmosphere of The Royal Oak, so those coming for a drink will find a warm welcome, and are invited to relax in one of the comfortable chairs and sofas and enjoy a pint, or a glass of wine from our extensive list. There’s a small selection of bar snacks to enjoy with a drink, and a large beer garden for al fresco drinking and dining in warmer weather.
