Trying hard and friendly but not quite there yet. Miniscule basin in the bathroom and electric shower not good features. Good breakfasts and comfortable bed but evening meals disappointing. Dismayed to see a local using what appeared to be an electronic cigarette in the bar area. Has the potential to be so much better.

Response from Graham Tobias, Owner at Royal Oak Inn
Responded 2 weeks ago
Sorry you did not enjoy your stay at our small Inn. I feel myself and Peter looked after you very well at breakfast and have always had excellent feedback on our friendliness. We have many fantastic reviews about our food so it would have been nice if you mentioned any problems to the team member looking after you if you were that unhappy. As far as I am aware the smoking of electronic cigarettes and vapes have not been banned inside public places!! I do so hope you find yourself somewhere better when you next visit Cornwall. Regards Graham. Owner

Would give it a zero if I could. Never in my life I've been treated so bad. I'm suprised that this place is still running! The manager was an absolute joke... If he could be called a manager. Two elderly female staff were absolutely rude. Bartender was rude. Come here if you want attitude. Would not recommend this place to anyone!

My family and I visited this pub twice on our stay. The first visit we just had drinks which was lovely hence why we decided to return on the last night of our trip to Cornwall. During our second visit, we decided to order food at 8.24pm when online clearly stated the kitchen shut at 9. The manager had finished his shift, and was sat a table over from us when a few minutes after my father placed his order, a member of his staff came out and quietly said something to the manager to which he shouted at her and said “I’m not working anymore i’m drinking. There’s a supervisor on shift sort it out amongst yourselves” At this point my family and I quietened down and listened to what else he had to say after going in to speak to his staff about the situation. He then proceeded to shout next to us about how out of order it was they we dared to order food this late when his staff had been working hard all day. I am a Pub/Bar manager myself, so i understand what it’s like to be over worked after a busy day but if it was such an issue for us to order food “that late” we were unsure as to why the staff took payment and accepted the order in the first place, rather than just saying their kitchen was closed. The manager, and other staff then gathered around the table next to us (unaware that it was indeed our table that they were talking about) and proceeded to make the next hour and 10 minutes of our visit the most miserable time, due to shouting, swearing and constant verbal abuse about my father who was the one that placed the order. The person working on the bar came out and asked for my father to be banned. FOR ORDERING FOOD?? After this time, our food was delivered and we promptly left, with absolutely 0 intention of ever returning again. I can confidently say we won’t be recommending this pub to anyone after the way we were treated and spoken about.

We stayed in Lostwithiel in a holiday cottage near to the Royal Oak and we visited every early evening for drinks in the beautiful sunny garden. We also lunched at the Oak and the food was really good and well presented. Very friendly, chatty staff and also very well patronised by the local community. Well worth a visit.

Passing by and decided to stop for an evening meal, and wow, were we pleasantly surprised by the meal or what! The presentation (Mixed Meat Curry by the way) was the best I've ever seen! The quality of the meal was second to none, temperature, taste, all spot on. Perfect!
