New Year’s Eve dinner with friends. 
Popped us in a comfy corner . Very clean and tidy everywhere. 
3 of us had roasts beef , pork and lamb absolutely gorgeous. Loads of meat and fantastic selection of vegetables all cooked to perfection. 1 had fish and chips which was equally cooked to perfection. Lemon roulade and cream for dessert. 
Lovely staff looked after us so well. Really friendly and kind nothing was too much trouble. 
Fabulous location plenty of parking . Facilities all cleaned beautifully. 
Highly recommended

New Year’s Eve treat

Wow! What a lovely place to eat, drink & stay. We were made to feel so welcome when we arrived. Our room was clean, comfy & spacious. Dinner was excellent, service was great. Breakfast was possibly the best we’ve ever had & once again the service was fantastic.

Fantastic

Never a very warm welcome here for the years I have been coming, but at least the food has been OK. This time, along with usual cold welcome there was bad food and at the prices they now charge it is a bit of a joke. Good food I don't mind paying for but unfortunately after many years of coming here we will not be returning. Continuing the sad demise of the British pub. Prices go up quality goes down.

The last time coming here

Sunday lunch was not a good experience. Grey, overcooked tasteless and tough roast beef was a big disappointment. The veg was all all doused in flavourings and a big pile of cold watercress was very strange with a roast dinner? It was quite full so this may be a rare occurrence, I hope so.

Disappointing

We booked a table for lunch, 7 of us eating and 2 more joined us later.  The pub was not busy.  Service was disinterested, particularly from behind the bar.  Very po-faced as if we were a nuisance.  
Food quality was rather less than mediocre, 3 fish pies - the worst I have ever eaten. No sauce, too much potato and hardly browned on top. 
A great disappointment for a pub with such great reviews. 

Pub lunch 1st November 

Such a fabulous pub . Beautifully maintained and so clean and tidy everywhere. The loos were great too. 
Service was excellent a lovely lady serving us. Compliments to the chef as the food was delicious perfect amount of time between the courses. Beautifully cooked. Lovely presentation. 
Great value for money 
Highly recommended

Dinner with friends

Visited this lovely bar / hotel on Exmoor as part of the Exmoor Food Festival. It didn't disappoint. We both had a fantastic meal and were more than satisfied when we left.  Starters were Fish Cakes and Duck Breast followed by Somerset Brie stuffed Chicken Breast wrapped in Bacon and Braised Venison. I was just about able to enjoy dessert of Clementine Posset with Shortbread. 

Not Pub Food but Pub Food Elevated and worthy of the Food Festival.

Pub Food Elevated

Absolutely lovely food (Saturday night &Sunday lunch) great service and nice atmosphere. Six friends visiting for a short break, nice to have a pub so close with good food. We reserved our table online easily some months before, but they were ready and waiting for us Thanks all 👏👏

Really good pub for food!

Visited today for Sunday Lunch. So disappointed- roast beef and usual accompaniments. Cauliflower cheese rock hard vegetables not pleasant at all.
Had a black coffee with jug of milk - which we were charged 50p for. Never ever been charged anywhere for having milk!
Reading the previous reviews we obviously drew the short straw. And to top it all a bad tummy as well.
Such a shame.

Disappointed

Have visited before as live locally and food and service always excellent. First time we have had Sunday lunch and will definitely be back. We had nut roast and roast beef, both fantastic and perfectly done vegetables al dente, cauliflower cheese could have benefited from more sauce, portion sizes excellent. Our little dog made to feel very welcome treats and water. Staff truly amazing attentive and very personable… basically what’s not to like (cold toilet but to be expected in an old pub!) fantastic pub/staff/area/food. Even though local will be booking into rooms soon to save the drive. Thank you to all at the Royal Oak.
