Royal Oak in Slough

Ah, the Royal Oak – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper British gem, tucked away in the greenery of Farnham Common. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks absolutely rave about the friendly vibe; the staff go out of their way to make your visit memorable, whether it's a quick drink or a full meal. The food's a real highlight too – think hearty pub classics done well, with seasonal twists that keep things fresh, and it's brilliant for sharing a lazy afternoon with mates or the family. That said, it's not all perfect; a few people mentioned the menu doesn't have loads of options, especially if you're veggie, and sometimes things sell out, which can put a dampener on plans. Overall, with its solid 4.4 rating, it's a top spot for a relaxed catch-up, but I'd say it's worth checking what's on offer before you head in to avoid any letdowns. If you're after that classic pub experience with a dash of countryside charm, give it a go – you might just find your new favourite local!
