Royal Oak Hotel Clarendon

Visited on 11/03/23 for lunch.Great food and service. Nice selection on menu and good value for money.

The Royal Oak Hotel is a lovely country pub in the style and ambience of an old English pub.We had the pleasure of having lunch at the Royal Oak, mid-week. The menu was very reasonably priced with a good range of choices for entrees, mains and deserts as well as daily specials. A good range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were available.The presentation of the ample-sized plates of food as well as the quality of ingredients and the cooking was simply excellent.Natalie was our host/waitress who was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our food which arrived at just the right time.There is a range of seating options from 1/2 people to tables for 6.

This place makes Fawlty Towers look like a 5☆ establishmentOn line menu shows Panko Prawns as a MainDoesn't show on in hotel menu BUT are available in Seafood Basket.You can only have what's on the menu"Ordered Chicken Schnitzel came back after order taken"We have run out of Chicken Schnitzel and hadn't told bar staff"If Kurt had called me "mate" once more think I would have walked out.Definitely won't be back!!!!!"

Beautiful meal, friendly service. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in the area.

Beautiful ambience, amazing food and lovely historical building. This place is very special and continues to outdo themselves every time we visit ❤️

Visited on 18/08/2022. This gem of a South Australian country pub is well worth the visit. Food is good and the service is excellent. We had a chicken burger and warm lamb salad. Burger was well prepared and very tasty. Lamb salad was excellent. Ample lamb and delicious salad. Service was terrific. The pub was not busy at the time, but it was not our first visit. At the busy times, service was still good. Try it out. You will not be disappointed. (On the downside, the carpet really does need to be replaced.)

Suuuuch good parmigiana.. did not skimp on the toppings either. Great job

Service so bad it defies belief! Don’t walk in and expect service any time quickly- they’re not prepared for ‘walk ins’- 50 minute wait for four meals when there were 12 other people in the pub. Kids hamburger- dry meat, dry bun and a slice of cheese took nearly 50 mins. “Manager” should learn about customer service. Smirking her way through complaints gets you a one star review, and a good manager would know that a bad review spreads ten times faster than a good review. And no, there were not people ordering food outside because nothing came out of that kitchen our entire wait except one garlic bread. Will never go again, and we’re locals who go out a lot- this place is an absolute wast of time and money.
