Alongside our Michelin-starred dining room, we have a relaxed bar with a pool table and darts, creating a space for everyone. Our menu celebrates terroir-driven, ‘proper country food,’ focusing on wild, seasonal ingredients. Our aim is simple: to tell the story of our community and the local producers we work with.
The menu changes with the seasons, with some dishes lasting six weeks to highlight the peak of their season, while others may be available for just a week or even a single service—a fleeting, micro-seasonal snapshot. This approach supports sustainable land and woodland management, honours the natural balance of the land, and reflects our commitment to preserving it for future generations.

Solanche, Richard, and the team at The Royal Oak are proud to offer Michelin-starred dining at our village pub, between Shipston on Stour and Stratford upon Avon, on the edge of the Cotswolds. Since 2019, we’ve been dedicated to exceptional food in a community-focused setting.
Alongside our Michelin-starred dining room, we have a relaxed bar with a pool table and darts, creating a space for everyone. Our menu celebrates terroir-driven, ‘proper country food,’ focusing on wild, seasonal ingredients. Our aim is simple: to tell the story of our community and the local producers we work with.
The menu changes with the seasons, with some dishes lasting six weeks to highlight the peak of their season, while others may be available for just a week or even a single service—a fleeting, micro-seasonal snapshot. This approach supports sustainable land and woodland management, honours the natural balance of the land, and reflects our commitment to preserving it for future generations.
Richard, Solanche, and The Royal Oak team are proud to offer Michelin-starred dining on the edge of the Cotswolds, between Shipston on Stour and Stratford upon Avon. Our seasonally driven menu focuses on wild, foraged ingredients. We strive to offer an exceptional dining experience that celebrates both nature and our community of producers.<br />
Although rurally located, we are highly accessible from the M40 (Junction 12) and we are a 25 minute drive/taxi (Castle Cars) from Banbury Train Station (Chiltern/Cross Country).

Incredible food, using brilliant seasonal ingredients. The service and friendliness from all the staff was wonderfully welcoming. A quiet local pub vibe, but wonderful for lunch. Our only regret was not having time for the full tasting menu - but we will be back!

When my disabled partner and I visited the Royal Oak, the staff were excellent, both in their friendliness and practical assistance. The service all through the meal was efficient and informative. The tasting menu was an exciting array of flavours , well seasoned and all of the ingredients were of high quality. The evening was a real delight and we recommend highly.

Fantastic food served in a beautiful restaurant. Wait staff were available for drink top ups but were not intrusive on the evening. The menu was perfect with a real journey of flavours that had clearly been planned.

Exceptional cooking with exquisite balance of flavours. Loved very morsel. Wines by glass I had were fantastic too. Not cheap, but very much worth it. Thanks.

Overall an amazing experience. We loved all the attention to detail, the food was fantastic and sometimes unusual yet extraordinary. The staff were super friendly and attentive in the best ways. We had the taster menu and would recommend it. It was a unique and special night out.

Our first visit to the Royal oak. We are very regular restaurant visitors and went here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The welcome was wonderful on a quiet evening. The service was fabulous and the food was a tour de force. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented. This was Michelin starred food at a very reasonable price and we could not fault it at all. A wonderful experience and we will most certainly be coming back

We chose the tasting menu accompanied by the wine flight and it proved to be a superb choice. The attention to detail throughout the meal was excellent aided by very attentive and informative staff, who looked after us in the best possible way. I would recommend eating at this restaurant to anyone who enjoys fine dining.
