E TA left this review about The Royal Oak
A very friendly country pub, off the beaten track. It sits prominently in the middle of the village though it feels a bit crowded by other buildings. The garden is formed around the car park, with bench seating on small lawns, an outside bar and a covered smoking area. There is also a paved terrace which catches the sun. Inside, there are two bar areas, one with woodburner in an open hearth, and a separate large dining room. They offer great pub grub all day at reasonable prices. Ales were Exmoor Ale and Exmoor Gold, and Stan’s Cider is also available. The ales were in excellent condition, fully justifying their GBG entry. The keg options were Estrella, Thatcher’s Gold and Hae, Cruzcampo, Carlsberg, Exmoor Cider and Guinness. This is a great village pub, very welcoming, definitely worth a visit.

Nice restaurant in a lovely picturesque village but not a pub for the serious beer drinker. The Exmoor Ale and Gold was fine (albeit a bit unadventurous) but the atmosphere on Sunday lunchtime reminded me of a chapel of rest.
