Royal Oak - Brecon

There are not many places in wales more beautiful than the royal oak on a sunny day, especially when they arrive at the brec mon channel and are gassed for a pint. there is a vegan curry sweet potato, spinat and cherry on the standard menu, but they also seem to do specials: I had a felafel burger with chips unavoidable and salat my partner, who is vegetarian, ate my halloumi . that was pretty good. I think the guests ales change regularly, but I had welsh pale from the glamorgan brewing company, and it was super. I'd just go back there for a few pints. updated by previous review on 2020 08 19

I agree with the previous contribution that the royal oak is a beautiful place to be on a sunny day next to the canal. my wife and I were pleased to have her sweet potato, cheek-pear and spinat curry was vegan and we both ordered this. I think, however, the cook has forgotten the choir because to say that this would be a blanching one. the texture was thin and very tomato flavored, there were actually a few lump sweet potatoes, a few cherry pebbles and a little spinat, but little curry aroma. as suppe it would have been good and we would like to have paid 6,00 for this with something nice brot, but as curry it was disappointing and safe overpriced. update: we went this year 2021 in the hope that the vegan food had improved, it is a nice environment, but was said that the falafel burger was not vegan as it had milk in it. my wife used again for the sweet potato,- kicherbsen and spinach curry and it was much better from our previous visit, but instead of brot it came with a nan that was not vegan and the salat was covered in a non vegan dressing. we had made it clear that we were strict vegans I had a bowl of chips! as in the sixties to be back! disappoint! updated by the previous review on 2020 09 16 of the previous review updated on 2021 06 08

The Royal Oak was upgraded some considerable years ago from a bog standard pub to become a firm favourite of mine! It's well situated with its garden by the canal and, although the menu is generally quite short, the food it serves is always very good and excellent value for money. I highly recommend a visit!

The royal oak is located on the side of the canal, it has a beer garden that returns to the canal and can also eat in doors. due to the Kovid restrictions, it is best to make calls and book a reservation when there are many of them going. we had a party of 8, six adult and two children and we were able to sit close to each other. the staff was great with the children and eating was very nice. would recommend.

Great pub. Great beer. Lovely staff and good food! Would come again.
