Best English Restaurants in Ropley

We are two old friends meeting again after several years. We had a delicious lunch in the garden (mussels and pork). The young lady who served us, Erin, was very attentive and did a great job. It was lovely relaxing afternoon in the sun. We will certainly come to The Royal Oak again.

We had an excellent lunch at The White Oak. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The food was splendid, with compliments to the chef. In view of this, it seems churlish to flag the following. Hopefully, the comments will prove helpful to the management. 1) why does The White Oak charge the full £27 for the two course set lunch, when those items chosen do not meet this £27 threshold? In short, we are paying over and above the menu prices, if itemised separately. b) why no calories shown on the menu? We had thought this to be a legal requirement. c) why no main course salad(s) on the menu? There were a selection under the previous management, and not everyone wants to eat a "heavy" meal at lunchtime! Do please consider a salad(s) option. Despite our quibbles, we would happily come again, though the seating pods in the garden are something of an eyesore and the area was so much nicer without them!!

Both the food and service were excellent. The food was so well presented. A perfect place to eat with very friendly staff on hand

Great food apart from the desert which was very dry....main course of salmon and roasted new potatoes was very good. Service was awful and we refused to pay the service charge. We have been coming for years so very disappointing.

Really love the new starters. If you like seafood try the Calamari! The tagliare is also well worth a try. For meat lovers jump on the Vesuvio and veggie lovers the Doganieri is unique and special. When the sun is shining much more than just a pizza place. Excellent!
