Breakfast
The breakfast situation at OYO Ruby Pub & Hotel has generally been a disappointment among guests. The hotel does not provide breakfast, leaving visitors to find alternatives, which can be challenging and inconvenient. Some were directed to nearby cafes or burger joints, though these weren't always open or suitable. Guests expected breakfast to be included given the room rate but were left dissatisfied when no meals were available. The overall sentiment is that the hotel should communicate the absence of food services more clearly to manage expectations.

Dinner
Dining at the OYO Ruby Pub & Hotel presents a mixed experience. While the pub is a clean and tidy spot to enjoy drinks onsite, guests seeking dinner should be prepared for some inconsistencies. There appears to be no regular food service at the pub with some visitors being directed to nearby takeaways instead. The absence of advertised dining options has left guests surprised upon arrival, especially when the pub's kitchen was found closed for refurbishment or not operational due to the absence of a chef.

On the brighter side, when the pub does offer meals, the food is simple, well-made and affordable with classic options like pie and fish & chips earning praise. Dishes like the homemade chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream have been highlighted for their quality and presentation. However, it's best to verify the availability of food ahead of time, as the pub doesn't open on Mondays and Tuesdays. Overall, while the atmosphere and drinks are pleasant, dinner plans may require some flexibility.
