What guests think

At The Royal Oak, travellers consistently praise the friendly, welcoming staff, clean comfortable rooms, and the lively pub serving tasty food and very good breakfasts, with convenient access to Highams Park station and on-site parking adding value.

Recurring drawbacks include music and bar noise until around midnight, warm rooms in hot weather due to no air conditioning (fans are provided), and a few smaller rooms or bathrooms. Most reviews applaud the food, beer and breakfasts; note that breakfast is continental on weekdays with cooked options at weekends, and a few guests mentioned occasional service cutoffs or dishes not piping hot. Overall, expect a welcoming pub-with-rooms stay that’s comfortable, good value and convenient for north-east London travel.

What a gem of a place this is! We needed a room for 3 nights near Higham Park as we were meeting up with family who live close by. So glad I booked The Royal Oak. It’s very close to Highams Park station and a good bus stop, so ideal for our visits into London. The breakfasts were excellent as well. Ample free parking which is a real plus. We had room one, I think it’s the largest, and it was really well appointed. We stayed on a Saturday night and this is the only thing that wasn’t perfect as loud music was playing in the pub below til midnight. Only on the Saturday but just be aware. The staff were so friendly. Special mention for Dawn, Anne, and Agnes. You rock ladies! Thank you so much for an excellent stay and we will be back next year!

The location for us was spot on with the overground weaver line a mere 10 minute walk. The free car parking at the back of the pub was a real bonus and was secure. Great atmosphere on arrival (7pm Friday) and enjoyed a fantastic meal and we were greatly looked after by Kelly. Music from the pub directly below did go on until midnight which didn’t bother us as the first night we were apart of that, and the second night we didn’t get back until 23:45

Simple friendly check-in. Lovely room. Very clean and comfortable. Busy pub in the afternoon, early evening with good food and beer. Breakfast is continental before the kitchen opens so worth checking if you want a cooked breakfast. Great staff and accommodation.

Been here a few times now and always had a good experience. Food in pub is good and reasonably priced. Staff are always freindly and helpful. Breakfast during week is continental but decent choice.

The location is next a main road so quite noisy - nothing the site can do about this more than they have. Its a pub so again quite noisy until 11pm. You just have to accept this if staying in a pub. Very bright street lights - the blinds didn't cut all of this out. Food was pretty good. Staff were nice.

Room was stunning, we stayed in the chestnut terrace. It was clean, spacious. With a big comfy bed and a little outside seating area, which i wasn't expecting. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was great with a fabulous cooked breakfast on the weekend and continental on weekdays. Great bar with a cosy feel to it and a good sized beer garden. Very family friendly. All in all a fantastic place to stay and would visit again.

What a lovely pub with rooms. The food was lovely, a spicy sweet potato curry. Pity the room was lit by the external pub lighting. The room, No4, needs black out curtains/blinds to reduce the light levels. Lovely ambiance and style

This was our second stay at The Royal Oak, and it was just as good as last time. It was very hot weather and the room already had a Dyson fan going when we checked in. We asked for another fan if possible and that was swiftly provided. The staff are so friendly and make staying here a joy. We were early enough to have a meal and take part in the Tuesday Quiz Night (came second, nice prize) and had such a fun evening. Just down the road is Highams Park station which we used to get into central London. So easy to do. Thank you to all the staff that made the stay a great one!

I stayed in room 1 which is huge for London and one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. I’ve already booked for a few extra nights because it’s that good.

Nice place, very clean and a good room. However, if you’re not able to do stairs beware, narrow and steep stairs to all rooms. We arrived at 18:30 on Sunday. Restaurant served until 7pm, so no problem ordering food initially. It was a good quality roast, but not hot. Then we were told we were too late to order dessert which was disappointing. If they take last food orders at 7pm I would expect that to follow through for the whole meal. No cooked breakfast available either.
