The Royal Oak - York

The Royal Oak in York is a fine old traditional pub that serves fantastic quality food.

The Royal Oak can be found by following Goodram Gate along for around 5 minutes, it is situated next to the Golden Slipper, another Fantastic York Establishment. As you hit you are instantly hit by the age of the pub, the surrounding walls are littered with antiques and most nights both fire places have roaring fires lighting the room.

I have been to the Royal Oak many times and can vouch for the food, the sunday roast with traditional Yorkshire Pudding and two huge slabs of beef coated in thick onion gravey and sided with onion gravy and mashed potatoes makes me drool.

Monday Nights is Pub Quiz night at the Royal Oak, here you will be asked 40 questions and will be served copious quantities of a random meal plus pizza, quiche, sausage rolls, pork pies, onion bajhis and so on, making the pound entry fee (All of which goes to the winners pot) more than acceptable.

There are several beers, lagers and a guest ale which is changed regularly, so caters for most tastes in the drinking department!

I would recommend this pub to locals and tourists alike for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere, great bar staff, fantastic food and beer and not to mention its fires to warm you up if the weather is poor outside.
