Step through the door of Royal Oak and you'll find what every good British local should be — warm, unhurried, genuinely welcoming. Order a drink at the bar. Then look at the menu.
Nestled behind the traditional pub façade is something extraordinary: a kitchen producing authentic Filipino and Thai cuisine that has earned a devoted following across Stevenage and beyond. Tasted by those who know, remembered by all who visit.

Absolute hidden gem. Lovely garden to the front. Great value Thai Menu. Pretty quiet on a nice sunny Friday, pretty good COVID-19 measures. Felt slot safer than old town.
Monday evenings from 3pm, and all week from noon. The kitchen and bar are ready whenever you are — reservations welcomed and walk-ins always warm.
