Three of us had excellent pub meals. The black pudding bon-bons were just great. One small defect, the cheese platter had some brie, but it was just the outer rind in this case, barely any of the soft inner. Fortunately, I have no problem with brie rind.
The Royal Oak hosted a very special reunion for my family and friends. The Crosses lived in Holmbury for many years and we returned from Australia with my 90 year old mother for a brief visit. Richard and his team organised a delicious hot buffet for 40 people and created a wonderful atmosphere for an emotional gathering. We will forever be grateful that we were able to reunite and make new memories and connections with our village. Thank you Richard and Kizzie for all your help.
My fiancé & I had a wonderful dinner her last night! The fireplace was delightful, the food was delicious (especially the steak), the music perfect and there were boardgames - what more do you want? The toilets were also great - clean, well decorated and generous in size. A sign of a great pub!
We went for a family lunch after Xmas, we found the service to be very friendly and attentive. There was no problem with bringing two toddlers, no feeling of annoyance from others when they made a bit of noise and no problem with bringing our dog either and there were lots of other dogs there. All in all it was nice and relaxed and made us feel welcome and comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed a family birthday at the Royal Oak on Sunday. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly; the table set up nicely before our party of 9 arrived; service was prompt, food delicious and portions ample. My homemade surprise birthday cake was even presented with style! I recommend the Royal as a good venue for any celebration.
