Food and drink at the Royal Oak Hotel, Appleby
Kyle and Jan are dedicated to offering the best fresh food with local ingredients at reasonable prices. Head Chef Ian Douthwaite trained at the famous Sharrow Bay Hotel on Ullswater and his Oak Steak and Ale Pie, made with hand-diced beef from Ewbanks in Appleby, is already a local favourite. Constantly-changing specials include an excellent fish menu and a choice of luscious homemade deserts.

At The Royal Oak we believe that children deserve real food too, so we have a developed our ‘menu for smaller apetites’, offering freshly-prepared options such as Junior Steak. On Tuesdays we also have a discounted menu for senior citizens and from Monday to Thursday an Early Bird menu, served between 5.30 and 7.00pm.
