The Royal Oak, Pirbright

Food service has improved immensly recently. Prices are extremely good and presentation of the food is excellent and the beer is well kept. My only gripe is that you find too many tables 'reserved', find somewhere else to sit, order your meal, finish an hour and a half later only to see those same tables still 'reserved' and still unoccupied !! Many times I have left because I could not find anywhere else to sit and half the tables 'reserved'. If they want to 'reserve' tables all evening then I am quite happy to go away and spend my money in a pub that adopts the attitude that 'if you want pub grub you comes in and takes yer chance with seating!!!!'. 'Reservations' are for gourmet restauarants not 'off the street' pub grub. BEWARE !!

Further to last the staff are actually very nice and very efficient now we have got to know them.
The beer is very well kept (HSB particularly) but as usual for a Fullers pub overpriced. Food is typical pub grub but a reasonably varied menu and perfectly acceptable. Again, the staff are efficient and friendly. Shame they dont do a smaller meal menu as they used to for those who dont want a large meal.
Fullers have slightly 'cocked up' the outside seating area recently by filling the front car park with ghastly metal tables and benches... WITHOUT any sunshades at all to protect the shiny heads of us old geezers.

Great pub, friendly and efficient service, a wide selection of real ales all kept to perfection. Promotes live music on a regular basis which is a bonus.
Best pub around.
