The Royal Oak - Ripon

Stumbled upon this pub after visiting the cathedral. Food was delicious, service was friendly and excellent choice for beers on tap.

Stayed over night. Great room,excellent shower! The breakfast was fabulous, great member of staff who checked us in and took breakfast order. Nothing was a problem would recommend a perfect stay thank u.

We eat in this place a few times a year when visiting fountains abbey. every single time is is great the staff...the food...the service is top notch and very friendly in the bar or the restaurant highly recommend it...........................

My husband and I needed a quick lunch. We both ordered the Croque Madame. The egg was great but the quality of the ham was appalling, and sadly the whole thing came in a dense panini style bread, soaked in a lot of cheese which left the bread soggy. Not appealing at all. Definitely not what I’d expect from a proper Croque Madame unfortunately. Pleasant service.

As someone else has also suggested, please light the fire now that Autumn days are with us. I suspect the diminishing numbers of people in the bar are a reflection of its chilly atmosphere. Regrettably, people will go to warmer and more welcoming pubs.
