Cheers to Wetherby

The Royal Oak is a traditional pub on the outskirts of Wetherby town, run by Lucy & Richard with the help of a genuinely brilliant team. Cask ales, fine wines, cheap rounds and a room that always seems to have someone in it worth talking to.

Out the back you'll find one of the best beer gardens in West Yorkshire — heated, covered, its own bar, and a giant screen that turns match days into something closer to a festival.

Brilliant pub, great landlord and landlady and fantastic staff. I could not recommend this pub too highly — also perfect for watching sports in the beer garden.

Amazing pizza and great service.

Absolutely fantastic — fun, lively, family friendly, dog friendly local pub in Wetherby. Lucy & Richard have worked their socks off to make this place somewhere we can all enjoy again. Such a happy sociable atmosphere, great choice of cheap drinks, weekly drink offers and food deals. Pizzas etc, all homemade. Come check it out!
