  We all have our favourites for some its wine and others it's whiskey for me it's beer or more precisely ale. So imagine the disappointment when you get a pint of your favourite beer and it just doesn't taste as good as it should. For wine or whiskey drinkers this is a rare occasion probably because it has come from a bottle whereas the beer drinker is at the mercy of the bar keeper, some seem to know the secret of how to keep and serve the perfect pint and others have the ability to ruin one. If you would like to find out what your favourite beer tastes like at its best I would suggest that you visit the Royal Oak in Downton here the bar keeper has unlocked the mystery. I have no idea how it's done but I certainly enjoy the perfect pint.
  Thank you, your efforts are appreciated, Rob

  Really good homemade burger salad & fries. Beer is well kept & landlord welcoming. Staff are friendly & accomodating, all in all a good well run pub.
  
  Wow came here again for a bite after work & tried the pie of the day which was steak & ale. PROPER PIE YEAH !!! Nice chunk of homemade pie filled with nice chunks of steak in a suet crust pastry. Cut from a proper big proper homemade steak pie & it doesn't come much better than that. It made me very happy, coz it was proper, it was good, it was what a pie should be. Many thanks to all at the Royal Oak, I'll be back for more 4 sure.
  OK well here I am again, PROPER PIE ! Steak & mushroom this time, God it was good.
  If you want good unpretentious home cooked food then this is the place to come. Proper Pub, Proper Landlord, Proper food & reasonably priced.
  Have an accustic night hear tonight & although musicians are right behind me it is not overbearing. Quality well played & rather enjoyable, cool.
  Just had beef casserole as it's turned wintery, Yum, just what I needed. This place is great for honest home cooked food.
