The Royal Oak, Yattendon

Dinned as a family on a cold wet Saturday. Service was good and attentive. However, food was super disappointing, with so much competition locally we had hoped that the food would live up to the location. Food was under seasoned, unimaginative, and lacked basic cooking skills. Bruschetta was toasted bread, with a thin spread of avocado and cherry tomatoes cut in half. Fish and chips, the batter was super thick and chips were hard. It’s a real shame as this could be a go to place.

i was disappointed with the food. roast potatoes not crispy. veg bland. for the price i would have expected more. the standard needs raising. other pubs are outdoing them. for the reputation locally it is unjustified travelling. the village and the pub itself is lovely and worth a visit. infact the pantry has vastly superior food. friendly staff which was great but again for the prices they were scruffy which gave the impression of lack of professionalism.

Excellent Sunday roast with family, tasty sauce and vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Loved the Merguez sausages too as well as the shredded pork tacos. Desserts lovely also. Good service, relaxed environment. Thank you. The Orangery is a nice bright space and it is fun to see the open kitchen and pizza oven.
