"I was searching for a last-minute place to watch the IPL Finale, Playoff Finale, and F1, and I stumbled upon Sportsman by chance. I was very impressed by the kindness and helpfulness of the staff; they assisted us immediately when we had questions. The food was tasty, and the drinks were reasonably priced. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a great sports bar."

I have severe mental health and physical diseases and the personal was very nice and very accommodating. even me on the table near the disabled toilet. can't blame them, they should be proud of their excellent service and care. also the love that it is dog friendly, as I love dogs, to see all the different come, has made my day. will definitely be visited again and also bring my friends! next to the pub here. Thanks again."

"Sandemans fine dining tasting menu paired with some delicious wines was the perfect evening for us. The food was delicious and the wine worked well. The only disappointing thing was that there were almost no interesting options for our guest who does not drink alcohol. The only offering was a 0% lager or the usual other soft drinks. We wanted to order a fabulous mocktail or interesting non alcoholic pairing option from the menu. This was not possible here but our delightful waiter did accept the feedback and thought it would be a great idea to have something interesting for the non alcohol drinker or indeed the appointed driver. The restaurants decoration was lovely and the atmosphere special. The toilets could definately be upgraded they don't reflect the style or standard of the restaurant. Toilet seat hanging off in one of the two cubicles too. However, it was a very special evening which we all enjoyed and look forward to returning and experiencing the upgrades which will ensure things only get better from an already great position."

"We went along to take advantage of their reopening special offer of a free meal with a newspaper voucher. Right from the off, the staff were helpful and explained the deal and procedure. Three of us ordered steaks, a rare, medium rare, and medium. All three were cooked to perfection. The steaks were large and melt in the mouth. It's probably the best steak I have had for a very long time. Our fourth member had the bog standard pub grub....Balmoral chicken, which she ate and enjoyed too. Again, they did not insult with the portion size. Service was pretty quick and efficient, too. Wine ranged from just under £14 for the house to under 20 quid for a bottle.. Both were decent. As a bonus, by downloading and registering on their app, we got a free drink, and we even got a couple of desserts and a really good strong coffee, courtesy of guy who had a couple of vouchers he passed on to us. They didn't disappoint either OK, this won't happen every time, but as a promotion, it worked because they have gained 4 new customers. If they can keep up that standard of food and service, it will be our go-to for a pub grub night out. Interesting all the staff seemed to be men and no student staff. The weekend might be different, but honestly, they were so professional. A pleasant surprise nowadays."

I'll be back"

"Steak was seriously impressive. There were some oddities in the service though. I thought it was the kind of place that you wouldn’t usually go to unless someone else is paying. A lot of thought has gone in to the presentation of the food. It’s inside the Hippodrome casino so perhaps the customers want flashy, over the top presentation. The restaurant delivers that with beautiful bowls and dishes that come frothing with with dry ice. The Ocean Plate was nice but came with the wrong kind of soy sauce IMHO. Sushi is usually paired with a much lighter soy sauce. I had the 350g ribeye and it was some of the best steak I have ever had. Chimichurri sauce was nice. There are many steak options on the menu but most of them were unavailable (supply chain issues? . The side of chips and the side of carrots and peas were slightly dry. For dessert I went for the Mango Baked Alaska. It turned out to be a somewhat deconstructed variant that looked like something that had been run over by a motorbike, smoke still streaming from the box it was served on. The restaurant occupies three or so steppes overlooking a gaming floor. The spaces are narrow and loud and chaotic. Staff did a great job considering the environment but this is not somewhere you would want to go for a romantic evening. The service is oddly rigid as well. We had made two separate sets of bookings and it would have made sense to combine them into one booking but this didn’t happen. At least we got both groups sitting in the same area. You also aren’t allowed to order starters for your group and then decide on mains later. All food must be ordered at once by the whole group (they made an exception for one member of our group who was arriving later . There was no particular explanation given for this. The restaurant did not seem understaffed; there was an army of waiting staff on hand to deliver food and open bottles of wine."

"We went in last saturday for a meal and a couple of pints, it 's quite a regular thing. It was quite busy and we were lucky to get a table after waiting about 5 minutes. My partner went to order and was gone some time , 20 minutes or thereabouts. I figured she must be chatting to one of the staff as we always have a good laugh with them. Then my partner came to me slightly distressed , she was having trouble getting served even after 20 minutes stood at the bar. She was stood at the corner and the bar staff were seemingly only serving those at the front of the bar, even though my partner had been stood waiting to be served some 15 minutes before a lot of them. She shouted out to the barstaff ' are you serving '? The responded with 'you don 't get served any quicker by shouting ' and repeated this mantra style , trying to wind my partner up, which they did and regretably my partner told one of them to where to go. She realised this was wrong but she is registered disabled and in constant pain and can 't stand for long periods. She didnt want any favours for being disabled, she is too proud to ask for them. All she wanted was to be served when it came to her turn, which was clearly not happening. When I confronted the barman he said 'we don 't really serve here ' I said 'I know, I can see ' He then produced a ' Glass collection only ' placard, 20+ minutes too late. he said it was a non serving area even though there was a visa card machine there on the bar and we 've always been served there before without any problem . On our way out I just happened to look behind me to see 'Sydney ' a female member of the barstaff give the finger and saw her mouth ' off ' Now does anybody think a person like that should be working in the leisure industry ? All 3 of the barstaff were incompetent in my eyes and need a talking to or re-training. We went for a pleasurable night out, not aggro, we 're in our 60 's not yobs. We spent about £20, not a lot I know, we would have stayed longer and spent double that, still not a lot but every little counts. And as for bringing my grandkids here for a treat total spend £40+ I don 't think that 'll happen again. I see the pub wants to increase it 's taking by £2000 every week . . It ain 't gunna happen with abusive barstaff that you had on that night. Thank you. Brian. Ps I emailed and texted the manager to see if we could solve this issue amicably. NO REPLY which says a lot. Pps I hear Darleys do good meals."

"Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and given the option to choose our table, which we appreciated. The staff at the bar and serving the food were all friendly and pleasant. The food was of high quality, the portion sizes were just right, and we didn't have to wait long for our meals. Overall, it's a great spot for a lunchtime treat."

"I visited this pub on Saturday night and found the bar staff to be very friendly and polite. However, there was one member of staff who was collecting glasses on the floor. She approached our table, leaned over me, clicked her fingers, and demanded my empty glass. I was taken aback by how rude this young lady was. I am a regular at this pub and have never had this type of experience before. It seemed like she was being shadowed by another lady, as they were together all night. If this staff member was supposed to be in training, it was very unprofessional for her to act this way in front of her supervisor and the group I was with."

"first. ice cold with other customers was also complaining about eating with their moms how we visited for our Christmas party! our ancestors came and were average, had to develop our own garnel and send out what is not really acceptable for a £6.50 starter to find that they were actually quite tasteless. after a very long waiting period came the main course. what a catastrophe! a steak demanded rare, came on the outside burned and raw on the inside so that it hard and indefinable, two more steaks asked medium, came chew and done well. accompanied by limp lettuce from a description. the accompanying sauces were also disappointing. chips were ok. No one came during our meal to ask if it was okay. so that a member of our party must go and find someone who tells them how disappointing our food was. at this point everyone else was cold and hungry and had made a decision we wanted to go. we got 50% discounted from our food bill, but since this was our Christmas meal, it put a damper on our evening. we will not recommend oaks or return!"

"Came here after the London Marathon and we made the right choice. I visited this place in Feb, to celebrate Valentines and it was super good. Now it was even better, did not feel rushed but rather like a neighborhood restaurant where everyone is very friendly and kind but also with a very good knowledge about wines and the food. We will come here more often as I was too disappointed in other places"

"As always, the meal I ordered from Ramsgate Tandoori this evening was absolutely excellent. It was hot, of good quality, delicious, and there was plenty of it. Unfortunately, my josh spilled in my purse, causing quite a mess when the lid came off. A large portion of my meal was lost in the chaos. Despite that, I'm still happy. Excellent food from wonderful people."

"Visited today with family for a Father’s Day meal. The food was delicious not to mention the 241 cocktails. The venue was decorated for Father’s Day with balloons, candles and flowers on the tables and each dad received a box of chocolates and a dad badge which made it extra special. Anna and the team are super friendly, hard working and go the extra mile so a BIG thank you from me! Can’t wait for the next visit!"

"I love the experience. High-end gourmet food and loved the fact that it was all vegan! the presentation was spectacular. I still dream of the truffle pasta and the wee was very good. service was quiet but good. To be honest, I would have loved to be a smaller meal, as I would not have done justice to the last courses. it was just too much to eat. in everything they had 10-11 courses! my only annoyance was the waitress that gave me the menu when I asked for the wine card. Come on, it's the 21st century and I paid for the meal!"

"I had a fabulous lunch at Murdos with the girls! The food was amazing—delicious mac and cheese, tasty waffle fries, and the Katsu chicken was fantastic. The fish and chips were good too. We ended up chatting for over four hours! When we arrived, the place was bustling with groups enjoying lunch, and it was filling up again for dinner by the time we left. Overall, a great experience!"

"My friend and I were enjoying some drinks when we asked for the TV to be changed to the football game, which we look forward to watching every Friday and weekend at this restaurant. Carmenella, one of the bar staff, quickly took care of it without any issues and even offered us more drinks at our table. It was a very enjoyable experience and we had a great time."

"this was our second visit and the standard of the food has decreased considerably. we had the same as before, the smokeys platter. the ribs were hard and overlooked. the brisket dry and chicken leg bland. the black rate was the best on the plate. the plate was also smaller than before. the service was not present, we had to ask for cutlery for our eating. we were not asked how our food was or we wanted more drinks etc....the atmosphere was very quiet. we could hardly hear behindground music. Unfortunately we won't come back, we were a group of six couples."

"Went in today with family for lunch after having been in a few times before on trips to Newark. The menu has changed and there are fewer choices plus a big increase in price but this is similar in many places so didn't deter us at that point. When ordering on the app we found there was no lasagne or fish &chips so those people found an alternative. Again, we found a way around this but the real disappointment was the portion sizes of some of the meals. I ordered the soup. I was aware this is listed as a starter after being advertised as coming with bread and butter I thought this would do as a light lunch. Soup arrived with two tiny extremely hard pieces of bread, no butter and about an inch of soup in the bottom of the bowl. Couldn't believe how little soup there was. Even had to ask for a spoon for it. My daughter's chicken tikka was tiny too, just padded out with lots of chips and a really dry pitta. Really disappointed and don't want to risk coming back. Pic really doesn't do justice to how little soup there was!"

"Went for a family meal party of 8 , the food was excellent and the service by Kerry was outstanding, she made sure we got the combination of food we wanted even if we changed it a bit from what was on the menu and made sure we had drinks when needed, Kerry works hard. Would recommend anyone going there for food and drinks. We will definitely be going back Thank you Oakwood Pub"
