We were staying in the village on holiday and ate here one evening, it was quite busy in the bar with locals as we arrived, but they all seemed friendly, and the owner showed us to a quieter table to dine in the other half. The service and food were absolutely top notch, you never know what to expect from a traditional local pub in a small village, but honestly the food was out of this world! Expect we'll come back in the future, as loved the area and will definitely be visiting The Royal Oak again! Thank you

Local Exmoor beer and cider on tap and the food was above average pub fare with good quality burgers and sandwiches. The only negative is that the beer garden needs some TLC, but it did have shelter for rain and had ample comfortable seating.

Good stop on the Two Moorsway, but really poor customer service. The food was excellent but totally let down by service. We stopped here on Two Moorsway for food, and the food was great, but service from the lady behind the bar and serving was lacking. When I tried to make a conversation with her and said, "Is it just you tonight?" She said, "No, I have someone at 6, but it's not me I am worried about, it's the chef." I ordered an Exmoor Classic after drinking Gold and went straight back to ask to change it as it smelt like vinegar, had no head, and tasted horrible. She said it was fine poked her head in cellar and said no fine, it's a new barrel. She would not accept what I was saying, so I sat back down but said I didn't agree. Lucky for me a local then came in and ordered the same and complained. Not only did she accept his complaint she then said that she had already had to send 4 barrels back with the same problem! She replaced his straight away and then asked do you want a new one sir, with no apologie. Great food, and no issue with chef, but I won't be back as when you spend that much you should feel valued as a customer.
