We visited The Royal Oak in Witney today as a group of 4 - 2 adults and 2 children. My daughters are 6 and 10 so luckily do not fall foul of the o under 5s\ rule. The space is relatively small and they have clearly made adjustments to the seating layout for Covid19 restrictions, but actually it felt spacious. The area was spotless and well cared for - a very nice setting overall. We sat under the glass roof and it was really pleasant. We found the staff to be both welcoming and helpful. The menu was extensive and we struggled to choose because everything seemed tempting. The meals we had were cooked fresh, served hot and absolutely delicious. The portions were large. The bill came to around 50 - so it wasn't the cheapest meal, but we certainly got a high quality meal for the price. We would certainly gladly return.

Rather small bar on High St. Side conservatory provides additional seating for meals. Yard outside for smokers. Outside toilets are a little surprising in 2020. Range of beers of interest on handpump. Large menu of starters, snacks, mains & puddings delivers large portions.
Probably deserves 5 stars except their poor attitude towards children. They expressed doubt that our 5 year old was actually 5 (their minimum age, apparently), and even though he was more quiet than most adult guests, staff still largely ignored us. 20 mins wait for drinks, 65 mins before food on table. If our kids weren't so well behaved, their distrust of children would have been self-fulfilling. All of that said, other guests appeared to receive attentive and quick service, the ambience was excellent and the back garden seating truly a pleasure. Food was also very tasty.
Very nice outside on a warm day.
Went for brunch, nicely presented place, however the food was overpriced. For the price point the sausages were standard fare, the jam for the cream tea was low quality and the scones were microwaved hot. The sausage baguettes were served with a side salad from the ‘80s, (slice of tomato, cucumber and some iceberg), and could have been prepared then. Definitely not fresh. For 2/3rds the price would have been 4-5 stars.
