The Royal Oak, Bishopstone, Wiltshire.
" I was at home the moment I walked in: blazing fire, kids playing board games, adults reading books and newspapers in comfortable chairs - a buzz that only comes from people enjoying themselves. The staff gave me a rare pub welcome and the food - ah, the food! It came straight from Helen's farm round the corner and was organic to its very core. It is a treat to eat in a way that helps, rather than hinders our countryside."
Out of about 450 restaurants, hotels and pubs, the SRA has awarded The Royal Oak Three Gold Stars for its sustainable practices. Our pub joins only three other establishments in the country in the top bracket of the SRA's league table. They have commended our food sourcing, our healthy food on the plate, the way we treat food suppliers, our recycling and, last but not least, the care with which we try to look after customers and staff.
