The Royal Oak boasts a superb menu; all our meals are prepared by Jon, our Swedish chef and Vinnie our local home-grown chef.
We have a wide selection of dishes using the finest locally sourced produce. Some of our old favourites that people just keep coming back for include Roast Three Dales Beef and Yorkshire Pudding, Steak, Kidney and Vegetable Pie, Roast Rack of Three Dales Lamb, Deep Fried Haddock in home-made Batter and Thai Green King Prawn Curry.

A fine selection of fish and vegetarian dishes are always available so why not browse through our menu and see what mouth-watering dishes we serve here at The Royal Oak.
Why not keep a look out for all the special evenings and Winemakers Dinners we hold throughout the year? They can be viewed here on our web site. Some recent occasions have included Spanish Tapas Dinner, Authentic Indian Supper and our Royal Oak Summer Lobster Festival which has become an annual event due to popular demand.
To further enhance your eating pleasure, we have one of the finest wine lists in the area brought to you by The Wine Bureau of Killinghall at very reasonable prices. With the help of Martin from The Wine Bureau we hold regular Winemakers Dinners where guest speakers and winemakers from vineyards all over the world talk about their wines, wines we have carefully matched with our delicious food.
