The Royal Oak Pub - Cape Town

Our November lunch was had at the Royal Oak in Tableview. JT and MH had the Liver and Onions; both were very happy with their meal. CH had the Pork chop which found to be tasty but on the small side. I had the Bangers and Mash which was very happy with. They no longer have Bosun’s Bitter so instead we had the Devil’s Peak which was a good substitute. I would say that booking is essential as the Pub was full.

A cozy and trendy pub that serves Guinness and Kilkenny on tap, which is quite rare for this area. The atmosphere is very relaxing and helps you unwind and de-stress. As soon as you step inside, it feels like you've been transported to the UK. It can get fairly busy due to its size, adding to the lively vibe. The food is decent.

A charming little pub nestled in a park, The Royal Oak transported me right back to my British roots. It felt just like sitting in a pub back home, and I truly appreciated that comfort since it had been a while. The staff were absolutely fantastic, and their Sunday lunch was unlike anything I have ever experienced, complete with Yorkshire pudding and authentic gravy. To top it off, they displayed pictures of royal oaks from around the world, and I spotted Chester's royal oak, looking majestic as I remembered it from my Sundays in the U.K. without fail. Our Sunday lunch and beers while watching the Grand Prix were simply wonderful—this place is definitely going to become a regular haunt for me!

What can I say... It is what it is.. Unpretentious and friendly... Food is fine.. Average of R65 for most English pub style meals...today i tried the liver on onions.. It was nice... The caramelized onions, could have been a few more, as they add a nice sweetness to this potentially 'could be ' bitter dish...food needed salt, which, once I added, then was like a kick in the liver lol.... A would of a difference... For 65 bucks.. I can lift a salt cellar...: ...and nice and cool in there.. Not many other places, where it would have been cool in today.

Great little English pub with friendly staff. In summer it's cool and in winter it's cosy. Their menu is your standard pub grub food and they do it right! Tasty, good portions, well priced and service is quick. Can't really go wrong with this spot. Their winner is the Sunday Roast!! Served with all the favorite Sunday roast veggies, Yorkshire pudding, gravy and they don't hold back on the portions! Their Sunday roasts are very popular so best to go early or reserve a table.
