The Royal Oak - Oxford

The pork chorizo burger had good arome, but for me I felt a little dry, I would have preferred it with more caramelized wobble; the fries were delicious, although a little too cool for our lust; the accompanying Burger sauce was really good for the dive of chips in, although it was disappointing not to see the promised coleslaw on the side. the shiny star for me? the cheese burger with addition of bbq pulled pork was beautifully juicy, smokey, cheeky, gooey, delicious. both burgers have proved to be good, what was good for this occasion, otherwise we had to send them back; but please don't give me automatically well made meat if I don't...read more

Both burgers turned out to be well done, which was fortunate on this occasion, as otherwise we would have had to send them back; however please don't automatically give me well done meat when I'm no longer pregnant, as I will be sick to death of it! Overall, the burgers were very enjoyable and not so big you're left feeling you should be rolled out the door; we didn't have room for pudding, but we both agreed we would certainly go back for more on another occasion.

Just as I was finishing, the other two dishes arrived. The chips looked and tasted good (in a thin cut, posh Burger King' sort of way), and The Photographer's steak was tender and had more flavour than I expected (though it did cost The Sceptic's chicken seemed to please him, although when I asked him about the gravy he replied that it was fine'. Did he mean fine' or Fine'? Merely fine', apparently.

Fantastic lunch in a cozy pub. the fires are so welcoming and eating is fantastic. that was made better by such a friendly and welcoming team.
