Royal Oak

Locals pub but made to feel welcome. Bar maid was very nice chatty and very efficient. Bar prices very good and had a good rose wine available. Decent selection of beers & ales. Saw food on other tables looked okay. Close to where we were staying was a pleasant few hours spent in the pub

The Royal Oak is brilliant. This is a proper, proper independent pub, kitchen and bed & breakfast. It remains how rustic, traditional pubs used to look. There’s not many like this left anymore - This place is genuine. I’m so glad I chose to stay here instead of booking a boring, strict and expensive Air B&B. This place has way more character and is so humbly priced. My room upstairs was newly fresh, clean, immaculate. The food was top notch too. Having worked in kitchens myself, I knew a lot of care had been put into it. The staff were incredibly considerate and kind to folks beyond their call of duty. They might not know how grand they’re treating you because to them, it’s just a shrug of the shoulders. Tim, the landlord and his staff are really cool folks. The Royal Oak sometimes have great live music on certain days too, so ask them when that’s happening or when it isn’t. If you ever find yourself in Salcombe, or anywhere in Devon for that matter - Drink, eat and stay here. I can’t praise this gaff enough.

Never ever encountered a more disgusting establishment purporting to be a Pub. Nothing short horrible. The owners dog messed in front of us , inside the pub for god sake! The owner was rude and obnoxious. Food inedible and drink not much better. GO ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH!!!
