    Lovely atmosphere, although absolutely boiling. Roast dinner was ok. Plenty of meat. Chicken was nice, beef was all fat and gristle ,couldn't cut it. We were meant to get carrot and peas, with other items, but got broccoli and green beans, neither of which i like. Broccoli and cabbage we not cooked at all. Potatoes, parsnips, Yorkshire pudding, gravy and stuffing were all great. The cookie dough pudding was delicious

    4 of us all had the sunday lunch special I.e. meal and drink for £18. Unfortunately they had run out of chicken. 3 of us picked beef. It was more rare than medium which didn't suit 1 of our party. However the rest of the meal was really tasty and a big plateful. We received a free dessert and some money off. The lads we saw were extremely busy and did a very good job. Would definitely use the royal oak again. This was our 3rd year using this pub and we will continue too.

    We have been coming to York for short stays for a few years now. After visiting this pub for a Sunday lunch I can only strongly recommend you go there yourselves and try the best Sunday dinner we've had in York. The choices that you can choose from are brilliant from a variation of meats to the vast amount of vegetables to get. Its truly a traditional Sunday lunch. The staff we're excellent and couldn't do enough so thank you for an amazing meal on our last day before we go home.
