We received a warm welcome on our arrival and the food and service was immaculate. We travelled a fair distance but it was well worth it.our dog was welcomed too with a bowl of water. We will be returning.

This place is that perfect little pub, where the fires are roaring, staff are friendly and the are welcoming to all, even those with dogs. Food is always well presented and very tasty. While menu is a little small, this allows them to keep the standards high.

I attended with my wife and baby last Friday. The staff were attentive, the food was delicious and the Sancerre was outstanding. Reasonably priced and worth every penny. You get what you pay for in life and it's certainly reflected at the Royal Oak

Had two courses for lunch here. Best pub food I have had in a while. The mushroom soup and the Steak Pudding especially good. Service was very friendly and lovely way to finish a walk around Hoghton Bottoms. Definitely would come again!

Gad a really good lunchtime at the Royal Oak after a walk around Hoghton Tower and Hoghton Gorge. Decent choice on the menu and the 4 meals arrived in good time, piping hot and freshly cooked. Washed our meals down with a pint of local ale and we heartily recommend this hostelry at Riley Green! One we will return to very soon!

Food was nice but over an hours wait isn't good and really let it down. Not sure if I would return

A BIG thank you to all the staff on duty last night (14/10/23) for helping to make my friends birthday meal so special. The food was delicious and you went the extra mile decorating the table and presenting her birthday cake. Thank you all.

Very nice and cosy traditional English pub restaurant nestled in the country panes of Lancashire. Warm, clean, friendly attentive staff and a log burner completed the homely atmosphere. Don't come here looking for a cheap eat, and remember quality is always worth paying for. We skipped starters and ordered 2 burgers which came with fries, but disappointingly no side salad or coleslaw. Nice juicy burgers, of decent quality, done right. Served nice and hot. The fries were crisp and didn't taste like a cheap catering grade option. Skipped desert as we were in a rush but this is a decent establishment if you are looking for above average pub meals. Menu has some nice alternatives and wasn't just the usual line up (despite our unoriginal order). Have been before, would go again. Vegetarian options: Not amazing, but there were

First class menu and food, very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Fantastic pub with a great atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and very personable. This is easily one of the best pubs I have ever been to. The fish and chips were to die for. My fiance had steak and kidney pudding which I was jealous of, but both meals were fantastic. Double fried proper chips with noth meals is something that takes longer, but tastes so much better. The ice cream my daughter had was amazing and she's obsessed with honeycomb, so being able to have it as an add on is a great touch. Thwaites have done an awful lot in the past couple of years to improve their pubs and hopefully it'll start paying back in spades once we get over covid. Will definitely be coming back again.
