Royal Oak Pub - Barnsley

I thought I was being taken out for a meal for my 60th birthday and my partner said we will go to Royal Oak for a drink first. What a surprise I got when we walked in and all my family and friends where there....As usual Liz the landlady had put a great spread on and decorated the pub with balloons. After speaking to people they all said how nice the food was and there was plenty of it. Great night Liz.

I booked the Royal Oak pub for my partners 70th birthday. The buffet was excellant with plenty of choice, even nice dripping. The price is very reasonable, couldn't do it cheaper myself. The landlady should be proud of her self. The music that the land...ladies daughter did was also good. Would defanatly reccomend Royal Oak for any party.

We regularly visit the royal oak as the price for the quality of food is second to non, if anything I would say they rip themselves off giving you veg as well as chips, where in most places its one or the other, we generally...have the meals that are part of the buy 2 for £5-£8, the farmhouse mixed grill is very nice my girlfriend loves the liver onions as well as the lasagne, and her daughter loves there curries. We visited last week on Sunday to try out there carvery and they didn't disappoint, it's a little gem of a place which I would imagine is relatively unknown to anyone outside of platts common hoyland. Deffo worth a visit and I'm sure once you have been you will return, better than paying for a takeaway any day of the week.

If you want to try some good home cooked food then the Royal Oak is for you. There is a variety of meals, some 2 for £8 and some 2 for £10. There is always plenty on your plate so you won't come away hungry....They also have a specials board which sometimes has game casserole or game pie, can recommend both. Liz, the landlords wife, does all the home cooking and even the sweets are home made. Apparently the beer is very good as well. The landlord Stuart and his wife Liz are always welcoming and friendly.

Had a fantastic evening with friends. great tapas we all eat too much. a great place to have a relaxed time with a lot of laughing, what to eat. highly recommended
