A Pub With History At Its Heart.

For over 230 years, The Old Royal Oak has stood at the heart of Knaresborough, welcoming generations of locals, visitors and travellers through its doors.
Today, we’re proud to continue that tradition as a proper Yorkshire pub - a place for good food, well-kept local ales, Sunday carvery, live music and good company. And for those staying a little longer, our comfortable en-suite rooms make The Old Royal Oak a welcoming base from which to explore Knaresborough and beyond.

Find A Spot In The Beer Garden

When the weather’s on our side, head outside, grab a table and settle in with a pint. A relaxed spot right in the centre of Knaresborough.
