For the sports enthusiasts, the bar area transforms into a haven for cheering on your favorite team. With multiple screens showcasing live matches and a vibrant atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to catch the action with fellow fans. So, grab a pint, gather your crew, and get ready to roar!
When the weather permits, the spacious garden becomes an extension of the pub, offering a delightful space for families to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The kids can run around the trees, while adults soak up the sunshine and enjoy a refreshing drink. Dogs are welcome in the garden area, and water dishes are provided so your furry friend can keep cool on a hot day.
Inside, children have options to do colouring in which the staff are happy to provide, or there are toy machines that my children are always excited to win prizes with, just make sure to come stocked up with pound coins.
There is a private hire room available should you wish to book an event, and the staff are excellent at providing hospitality for parties.
The Food
The menu boasts a diverse selection, ensuring there’s something to tempt even the pickiest eaters, and the children’s menu offers plenty of choices for the small ones.
From classic pub fare like burgers and fish & chips, to lighter options like salads and vegetarian dishes, the Royal Oak caters to all tastes. I personally love the halloumi fajitas, which is bursting with flavour.
Make sure to check out the desert menu for some decadance at the end of your meal. My favourite is the “pimp your brownie”, perfect for sharing (or not!)
The portion sizes are generous, leaving you feeling satisfied without breaking the bank.
The Verdict
The Royal Oak successfully blends a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a varied menu, exciting sports screenings, and a delightful garden. Whether you’re a local looking for a familiar spot or a visitor seeking a taste of Stafford’s hospitality, The Royal Oak is definitely worth checking out. I highly recommend it to families, friends, and football fans alike!
