A true Yorkshire pub experience

The Royal Oak in Staveley is the epitome of a traditional Yorkshire pub. Nestled in the picturesque village of Staveley, it’s a place where Cath and her team bring warmth and charm to every visit. With cosy log fires crackling in both the bar and restaurant, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a pint of local ale or a hearty meal. The dog-friendly atmosphere ensures your four-legged friends are as welcome as you are. And when the sun’s out, the beer garden, surrounded by lush greenery, offers a tranquil escape with its wood-fired pizza ovens, outdoor grill, and fully stocked bar.

A family-run pub with heart

At Royal Oak, we pride ourselves on being a family-run establishment that’s deeply rooted in the local community. Our commitment to using locally sourced products, including meats from nearby butchers, ensures every dish is packed with fresh, authentic flavours. Beyond the food and drink, we’re passionate about giving back, hosting an annual charity party and supporting various causes throughout the year. Whether you pop in for our Wednesday and Thursday lunch deal, two meals for £32, or plan a countryside walk to the nearby nature reserve, you’ll always find a warm welcome here. Book a table to experience a variety of authentic food.
