Royal Oak, Yateley

Real shame - remember it being half decent at one point. Now I'd stay well clear. The management must be totally clueless and running the place into the ground. The food sucks and the service isn't great from a few of the ruder members of staff! (You probably all know the guy I'm referring to)

Re: The salad, I caught that conversation. The staff member said, and I quote "You can't expect us to check the lettuce is clean. It's normally ok" followed by "You're just being frivolous. You're not having the number."

I'd wait until environmental health have checked the place out - there's no way some of that food is fresh, and evidentally they don't care if it's clean either. On that note, it's likely you'll find rubbish on teh tables when you arrive. Seems they aren't too fussy about cleaning in a hurry either.

Not recommended, and I won't be going back. I had been before a year or so back and decent fresh food was served. I guess a lot has changed though - the food was awful. It was clearly pre-frozen and reheated, bland and flavourless, and quite frankly something I could make at home for under �1 with better results. Quite simply, look elsewhere. You won't find much worse.

There is no kid's entertainment either, and service isn't that fast, so be prepared for bored kids if you do get unlucky and wind up there

The service is a little mixed - If you wind up with one guy in particular, you'll notice he's in a foul mood and talks to the customers like something he scraped off his shoe. If you're not happy there, leave - no need to piss the customers off ya knob.
