Royal Oak Inn - Reservar uma mesa

My wife had the shepherds pie, which was delicious, so I ended up swapping my dish for hers. Unfortunately, we ended up eating separately even though we came out together for dinner. The most frustrating part was that the manager did not address our concerns. It was disappointing as the other dishes on the menu looked appetizing.

This pub used to be our go-to spot, but we started exploring other options over the past few years. However, with the arrival of a new manager, we decided to give it another chance. We were pleasantly surprised by our experience. The restaurant was nearly full and had a great atmosphere, with new candles adding to the ambiance. The service was exceptional, with a special shout-out to Amena, who took care of us on her first night. Overall, it was a fantastic evening with delicious food and top-notch service.
