Royal Oak - Basingstoke and Deane

Went for mile walk round Ecchinswell and Sydmonton. The Royal Oak welcomed us parking at the pub before our walk. After a lovely walk we had a meal. My wife had a veggie option and I had the herb crusted cod. Both very nice. Service good and all friendly. Nice pub nothing to criticise.

We had the set Christmas menu with the family at lunch time. I am not a massive fan of roast dinners out , but am a massive fan of roasts that are home cooked . I am also not a huge fan of Turkey. But …. The traditional Turkey Christmas dinner we had was exceptional! The Turkey was beautifully moist and tasty, veg all perfectly cooked and gravy was thick and full of flavor .. really highly recommended and great value.. thanks Royal Oak team!

Excellent fresh food freshly prepared and good portions recommended

First time we have visited. Excellent food. I had steak and kidney suet pudding and it was beautifully cooked. The vegetables were done to perfection. Very busy, lovely atmosphere and service was amazing. Would highly recommend..

Lovely Sunday roast. Excellent potatoes just a little tight with the meat. First class friendly service.
