our food
Solanche, Richard and the rest of The Royal Oak team are extremely proud to offer Michelin starred dining on the edge of the Cotswolds with a seasonally driven menu.
We work closely with a small core of quality producers. Game is often from the surrounding hills and estates. We supplement our own foraging with professionals from different regions to help us find interesting wild ingredients.
We are proud to use the renowned Paddock Farm. They farm in a regenerative manner and provide all our eggs from their super-free range flock that are housed less than a mile from the front door of the pub. We also use their market garden no-dig vegetables and incredible rare breed pork and Hereford cattle.
We offer a concise seasonal menu Thursday to Saturday and Sunday night and for Sunday lunch we offer roast venison with Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes.
