The Royal Oak Inn, Great Wishford

This pub was taken over by a new young lady publican in March 2011. She is assisted by her sister who is a skillful chef. This is a delightful village pub, which has a dubious track record of previous poor performance, which the new proprietor is determined to correct. We spent the evening there while staying overnight in the village en route to Devon for a short break. We ate in the restaurant and had the dish of the day, warm chicken and bacon caesar, with nice fresh salad, a portion of chips and warm bread rolls. This was a good quality, appetising meal, good portions, at a reasonable price. Everything was done correctly and to a good standard. Other people staying at the same guest house as us also ate there that evening and reported favorably on their meals. The staff and the local people were all very pleasant, and friendly. The toilets were clean. There was live, but not over intrusive, music in the main bar. Overall this was a very enjoyable evening out. The negative reports on your web site are no longer appropriate, they don�t apply to the present management. I think your readers can safely be advised to give this pub a try.
