"My wife and I had not booked, but were quickly found a nice table by the fire, and were brought our drinks virtually immediately. The menu is not huge but sufficiently varied to accommodate most culinary foibles. They were very busy as there was a 2 for 1 lunchtime offer on mains, so we did have a slightly longer wait to be served than expected. However, the quality of both fried sea bass on squash risotto, gammon steak with chip, egg and peas was excellent and the dishes were well presented. Service throughout was prompt and friendly. Would highly recommend."

"We stayed at this pub a week ago which was at about the same time as Vacation77007 whose review has already been listed. We entirely agree with that review as we had the same experience basic menu, poor acidic wine and not what we were expecting given the reviews for this pub. Also we were irritated by the loud ‘background’ music from the 1970s. There were only eight other dining customers on the Friday night. In comparison the next night we had a meal at a nearby pub which was excellent and had a great menu to choose from. It catered for 50 60 diners and all the tables were taken. Vacation77007 states that there were no other diners at the Royal Oak that night except his family. The Royal Oak has a good sized car park. Accommodation was in an annexe next to the pub and that was ok. Breakfast is taken in the bar area of the pub. To our surprise we were told that breakfast was at 9.00am. We were given some leeway on our first day (8.30am) but there was no leeway on our second morning. We have stayed in many b&b’s round the country and all serve breakfast 8 9am with some willing to serve even at 7.30am. However the Royal Oak is locked up until 9am which prevents making a start to breakfast. To get on and do what we wanted to do that day we had no choice but to have cereal, toast and coffee and avoid the wait for the cooked breakfast. Coffee consists of just one mugful. We wondered if we would have fared better having breakfast at a transport cafe."

"My wife and I travel all over the world and stay in beautiful hotels. We decided to try The Cholmeley Arms as it was very near to an early morning meeting. Tbh we would normally have stayed in a larger hotel. We were glad we gave it a chance as it was fantastic. Great room, very clean and comfortable. Great, no, amazing food, we had dinner, which was fresh and delicious, plentiful, along with a fantastic menu. The breakfast was the best we had had, eleven out of ten. : Staff, awesome and the owners are very friendly. We are both looking forward to staying over again. Well done!!"
