Absolutely wonderful experience here. The food is delicious, extremely high-quality and well-presented. Set lunch 2 courses for £19.50 is very good value! Lovely setting of a 16th century pub with nice beams and great service too. Highly recommended, and only a short bus ride from central Cambridge.

Original review still left below.We came back here several weeks ago for valentines day, had the valentines set menu and every course was great.We chose the Fillet cut to share, the previous flat iron steak being one of the worst I've had this is most probably the best steak I've ever had. That particular cut gets thicker in places but they'd cooked it a perfect medium throughout the whole piece very fair play...Even my Mrs whos not keen on steak was fighting me for the last slices. Generous helpings of chips and onion rings on the side and a trio of different sauces.I'm hoping they offer this on the menu again at some point will come back for this.ORIGINAL REVIEW;Heard great things about this place so gave it a go yesterday.Lovely pub, fire was on and friendly locals.I think I should of stayed in the bar and had the fish finger sandwich in hindsight as the food wasn't great. Hit and miss.Was £80 for the 2 of us, 2 drinks, 2 starters 2 mains. Quite pricey.Baked camenbert was great but paper thin dry bread could of done with a lot more of it bit tight.Mrs had the pie, was great. She ate the whole thing but the flat iron steak underwhelming....I don't think they seasoned it AT ALL. Then they cut it through the middle which I really insist you don't do.Ordered it medium but it was basically rare and plate was pooled with blood bit unpleasant.I could count the chips, I had 7. The peppercorn sauce was like water and tasted like cream..Fish and chips and the burgers went past looked amazing I may come back and just keep it simple with a burger.

Cosy atmosphere, when you step in the pub you go in another world. ?Very friendly staff, delicious food! We had venison steak, really good cooked, fish and chips, roast quail, beef steak. All good! A evening to remember... ?

By far the best place around to eat and drink the food is amazing and a good selection of beers and ales. Great service too and the staff are all very friendly. Will always come here.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch at 3.30, told by a waitress at 3.25 we needed to order quickly as the kitchen closes at 3.30 and that there was no roast beef. Cannot understand why you would take a booking for that time when you know that the kitchen closes. We had been sat in the bar area which was very cold and everything the door opened you were met with a freezing blast. Was not made to feel very welcome and not sure that I would rush back

Welcoming and lovely atmosphere. The staff were accommodating and friendly, we had a great chat. The food was fab, the best chips we had eaten in a long time. Sometimes you just want comfort and ambiance, The Royal Oak has this in spades. When we travel this way again we will visit again!

Came here last month for a Game night menu. Have drunk at the pub before but not eaten here. Meal was absolutely fabulous, everything we ate was stunningly delicious and we were stuffed by the end. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great night, as they always are at Cambs Cuisine venues. Will look forward to coming back in a regular night to try the standard menu.Dietary restrictions: Great for gluten free and coeliac - able to offer alternatives and plenty of options

Chose this venue as convenient and we have visited other venues in the Cambs Cuisine Group. We had a really pleasant evening. The staff were all extremely friendly, polite and helpful making us feel very comfortable. As a party of 10 we were looked after extremely well. All dishes arrived well together which is always important for a large group. Food was excellent and we won't hesitate to return.
