Italian Night At the Royal Oak
 The 17th July saw us host the second of our world food nights and this destination was Italy. Traditional Italian dishes were cooked by our experienced chefs to give you an insight into true authentic Italian cuisine.
Italian food has long been thought of as just pizza and pasta but this is not true. To start with pizza is an american invention, granted by the Italian immigrants of the 1920's but Italian food offers a depth and complexity of flavours that can seldom be found in other cuisines.
Our menu for this evening can be seen below.
