Royal Oak in Chorley

I went here to watch wigan in the grand final, they've got 3 decent sized tv's if you want to go and sport in there and it's cheap 🍺 good bar!

The Chunky Steak Pie is the best around and very reasonably priced for the quality of the ingredients used.

Food: I’ve visited in past summers and loved the salads, which were fresh, tasty, and a real highlight. However, on this visit, the quality of the food has drastically declined. I tried to eat a vegan sausage sandwich, but it was completely inedible. The bread was hard and cheap-tasting, with low-quality margarine, and the “sausage” was a bizarre mash of potato, carrot, and broccoli fried together—it was awful. The coffee was inconsistent too, with some cups being fine and others disappointing. Considering the poor quality, the prices feel completely unjustified. Service: Most of the staff were lovely and welcoming, which was a positive. However, there was one staff member who was rude, making us feel uncomfortable and causing us to try to avoid her. Atmosphere: The café has a charming aesthetic, with a lovely counter full of cakes and cute knick-knacks, which initially made it feel inviting. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was frustrating. My friend and I, not having children, tried to sit in a quieter area but were told it was a no-eating zone. Strangely, children were later allowed in, spilling milkshakes everywhere. It would make far more sense to designate this space as an adult-only or quiet area given its separation from the main café. Overall, while I’ve enjoyed this café in the past, the steep decline in food quality and the inconsistencies in service and atmosphere were deeply disappointing. It’s a shame, as the café has potential, but it needs significant improvements to meet its former standard.

Good food great price would recommend

Booked a table online for myself, partner and son. Used a voucher and saved over £25 in total. We all enjoyed our meals, good portion sizes and well presented. Overall service was amazing.. Harley May was so efficient and friendly. We have visited before on numerous occasions and have always been greeted with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Will certainly be returning soon.
