We live nearby this hotel/restaurant and have therefore never needed to stay there although we hear good things from those who have. The food is what takes us back there and it just keeps getting better. The attention to seasonal food and good presentation by the chef is admirable. We had the breadcrumbed soft boiled egg with new season asparagus... More

We stayed for one night in April 2013. The hotel is in a beautiful location, and the rooms are great (huge bathroom/wet room) and everything was immaculately clean. All that you need is provided too - wifi, iron, hairdryer, kettle and free mineral water in the fridge. You can tell the owners make an effort to add those special touches... More

A birthday meal with my family. Food delicious and really hot. We went for the early bird menu and real value for money. Service very good. The reason for very good and not excellent was due to the time waiting before our plates were collected, then having to wait again before asking if we wanted to see the dessert menu.... More

Only a short distance from the busy M1, East Midlands Airport, Donnington Park and Donnington Motorway Services, once in Long Whatton you really do feel that you're in the countryside and away from it all. The Royal Oak has been very well renovated to a high standard, making it ideal for a short break in the area. Friendly service is... More

One of the best meals we've had in the area. Mushrooms in stilton and tarragon cream sauce were so good, every single bit had to be mopped up by the brioche. Blade of beef came with a genius horseradish jam and just had room to squeeze in my favourite sticky toffee pudding. Great lunch guys!

We visited on a very busy Saturday night. It was friendly but a bit slow. The tables are quite crowded but that gave quite a buzzing atmosphere to a fairly unremarkable room. Food was definitely a level above most pubs (and many restaurants) with a more adventurous and interesting menu. One of our party has some dietary restrictions which we... More
