The Royal Oak Tetbury

"Lovely pub and will always come here for a drink, but in my opinion it has gone dramatically downhill. Quality of food now distinctly average, service poor with the majority of staff moping about in shorts. Manager should lead by example but is exceptionally rude for what was a large booking."

"Lovely staff seated us in a cosy upstairs dining room which has been sensitively renovated. The bar downstairs is small and busy so if you're eating, definitely go up Menu was mostly pub classics but with a few nice additions. Everything was spot on."

"We had a lovely stay at the Royal Oak in October. We had the Garden Room and the Acorn House booked for the night before our wedding with me as the Groom and my Best Men in the Garden Room. The Garden Room was ideal for what we needed, big enough for 3 adults with the addition of the sofa bed and just off from the beer garden. My wife and her family stayed in Acorn House which is just over the road from the pub was a beautiful country house with its own parking. Pictures on the website don't do it justice! Very clean, plenty of space and dog friendly (in the kitchen and dining area only). Had 1 twin room and 3 doubles, including the master bedroom on the top floor which was huge with an ensuite. We also had a meal booked for the same night for all 9 of us which was delicious, and the cocktails were also great with fantastic service and friendly staff. Thanks for a great stay!"

"Party of 4 adults and 2 dogs, visiting early afternoon. Sunny day, nice garden and only a few of the ample tables occupied. We sat and one of our party went indoors to see about menus. She was asked whether we'd booked (no, as walk-ins), she was then met with a rather abrupt "oh, well we prefer you book, but I'll ask the chef." Chef is overheard as saying "not likely, but check again in 5 mins" Confusing message which left us feeling our custom wasn't wanted, so we left for another pub in the area. Clearly booking advisable unless you want to be seen as an annoyance."
