The Royal Oak - Test Valley

We visited this village pub for the first time today and it was great! the staff was so friendly and the food was great! we will definitely visit again. many thanks for delicious food and great service

Friday lunchtime beautiful sitting corner, very friendly and fast service. the main menu is very good, but the addition of many specials makes it really hard to choose what to have. the usual selection of pub dresses, but with pizzas, sandwiches, plus. somewhat more unusual choices like Moroccan lamb or venison burger. there were many fish options that are rare for the Andover region that I went for thai green fish curry and mrs h went for posh fish and chips. the Thai dish was wonderfully cooked and full of taste, but the wild fish and chips. wow. we both think it was the best fish and chips we ever tasted were almost like roasts, the teig was so light and delicately flavored.

On the search for lunch with friends we were a little late on the day, but were warmly welcomed, ordered and eaten immediately. our tellers were heated, eat perfectly cooked, classic pub-grub. the excellent friendly service. made this visit for us. Thank you!

Sa in the beautiful outside area and had the bacon double cheeseburger and was probably one of the best burgers I ever had. just eat good! my partner had the chickenstack and the pfefferminzsauce was incredible! will be visited again!

So, you are driving down the yes a thankless task I know, and need to stop. The is a desert as far as good places to feed and water the traveller. Fear not, just three short miles from the tortuous stream of traffic,...is the Royal Oak at Goodworth Clatford. It is only three miles, you are travelling hundreds of miles so what is three. The inn is a refined county pub, situated spookily in the country away from the fast food expensive Tranquil and inviting the staff and lovely and the food and drink, beer for the non drivers, is just excellent. Plot this on your sat navs for a regular stop on the seemingly endless journey to, of from, the west county.
