Royal Oak - (Near Berkshire, london)

Tim Hood Proof the Masterchef judges got it right! We had Sunday lunch here and it was the best we’ve ever had, with the added bonus of some Michelin quality starters and deserts. Had a quick chat with Tom the owner who is a lovely guy and deserves the support of anyone who believes in top quality, good honest food and backing UK’s small businesses. Go there and be happy!

Vanessa Westwell In July, I had a slightly disappointing visit, and so I was impressed when The Funghi Club team invited me back to try again, on the house! Today was a sunny, Tuesday lunchtime and I chose to sit inside in the bar area for a change. It was quiet at 12.15pm, but it soon filled up with lots of happy ladies who lunch, and some couples and small family groups. There was quite a buzz! There is a quieter area at the back of the bar area, if you want a calmer atmosphere. Nicole and her team were all very friendly and welcoming. There was a lot to choose from on the Menu and Specials. In the end I chose the Daily Special, which was a generously sized portion of Tuna Nicoise Salad for £16.50. The fine green beans were cooked perfectly with a little crunch. The salad dressing was tasty. If you prefer your Tuna Steak to not have any pink in the middle, please let your Server know. To follow, I had a Raspberry Tarte from the extensive, chilled Patisserie Selection. It was the perfect combination of a generous topping of fresh raspberries, atop some creamy, creme patisserie and a light, crunchy, pastry case. When your Tarte pastry almost leaps off the plate at the first tap of the fork, you know its cooked perfectly! Thank you very much. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. And I really appreciate your generosity and taking the trouble to put things right.

Tracey Equestrian The best chicken satay Ive had for a long time!! So tasty and peanutty and not greasy at all! I forgot to take a picture of it on the skewers so this is after Id pulled the skewers out. A good amount of sauce with it too. Highly recommend trying this dish. Literally only grabbed this and chips in the way home after a night out but will be back! We got there at 10.55pm and they close at 11pm. Wasnt sure if they would serve us but they very kindly did with a smile even though we could see they were ready to go.

Simon Burchell Great food and lodgings. Bathroom was a bit poky, but at least it was en suite. Most staff were friendly and efficient. Very quiet in the room. I would say not great for anyone with mobility issues... many flights of steps to get to the rooms.

Gareth Newman Really cool place and great food. Service was friendly and helpful, top notch. The burgers and hotdogs are all slider size and loads of different flavour combos either beef, chicken, halloumi or vegetarian. The Hawaiian, hotdog and ceaser were the best for me but looking forward to going back and trying more. The chicken waffle wraps look amazing too and will definitely try one next time.

Gilo Fletch Loved this place. Amazing I’m home cooked Italian food. Staying three nights in Marlborough and popped into the restaurant one afternoon to see if we could book a tale in the evening. The owner said he was very busy with Christmas party group of 40+ but he could fit us in. Every table in the place was taken but the food was still perfect. The starters, the main and dessert. All came out in good time. Glorious wine and very friendly service. I’d recommend anyone who likes Italian food to eat here.
