_{Solanche and Richard Craven 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. Using high quality, organic and importantly to us as a rural country pub, wild ingredients.}

_{We work closely with a small core of quality producers who are dedicated to their craft. Game is often from friends from the surrounding hills and estates. We source directly from Scotland to ensure we can make the most of our wild larder. We are proud to use the renowned Paddock Farm who farm in a regenerative manner and who provide all our eggs from their super free range flock who are housed less than a mile from the front door of the pub and no dig vegetables from their market garden and they produce incredible rare breed pork and Hereford cattle, which we use when our hunting friends can't get into the wild for us.}

_{Sustainable fresh fish is sent from day boats in Cornwall from Flying Fish of Cornwall. Vegetables are also carefully sourced, our favourites often coming from small scale growers in the local area. We supplement our own foraging with professionals from different regions to help us find interesting wild ingredients.}

_{We offer a concise seasonal menu Thursday to Saturday and Sunday night and on a Sunday lunch we offer roast venison with traditional accompaniments as part of an 3/3/3 À la carte menu.}
