About
Excellent local real ales; sometimes world class food almost always good food. We like to provide good service informally. We are slightly scruffy.
Walking, eating, drinking, sleeping, talking--five human fundamentals that we try to provide for at our eccentric pub in the middle of the farm in Bishopstone. We like to provide good service, informally. We are slightly scruffy – The Times called us ‘ramshackle’ in the same article that nominated us as their food editor’s second favourite place to eat in the UK, in June 2015. We have decided not to sue the Murdoch empire over this perceived slight. The gently satirical magazine The Oldie described us as a ‘bullshit free zone’ in a deserted countryside, also June 2015. They loved the food, the beer and the welcome. Actually, we’re happy with both descriptions.

Transport Tips
Bishopstone is about 8 miles east of Swindon, 10 miles west of Wantage. In the village is a large duckpond. If the pond is on the right, the next lane on the left is Cues Lane. The Royal Oak is 50 yards down there on the right. The car park is beyond it and round the back. Please be aware that unfortunately it is a difficult pub to access for disabled users, but our staff are willing to assist wherever possible and suitable. Call ahead and ask us, if you can.
