A true Taste Of The CotswoldS
Step into The Royal Oak and be welcomed by the comforting blend of Cotswold tradition and elevated dining. Our kitchen blends rustic charm with modern touches, offering thoughtfully prepared dishes that celebrate local produce and seasonal flavours. Whether you’re gathering for an intimate dinner, entertaining guests, or simply stopping by after a countryside stroll, our carefully curated menu and cosy interiors provide the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. Each visit is a chance to slow down, savour, and enjoy a taste of something special.
From hearty pub favourites like slow-cooked pies and hand-battered fish and chips, to elegant seasonal specials and indulgent desserts, every plate is crafted with care and flavour in mind. Complement your meal with a carefully selected wine, a locally brewed ale, or one of our signature cocktails. With attentive service, a welcoming atmosphere, and the character of a 300-year-old inn, dining at The Royal Oak is an experience to return to — time and time again.
