The Chandos Pub Oakley

Excellent mid week dinner. Great service and we selected a number of small plates to share. Really sad to see it’s closing and wondering why? What a shame!

The pub food was satisfactory, but I was disappointed that the "triple cooked chips" I paid extra for tasted like ordinary oven chips from the brand McCain. There was no noticeable difference in quality.

Fab night at the Chandos. Curry night was a great success. Food was fantastic and despite being fully booked the service was 2nd to none. As always Connor, Sean and the team were friendly and welcoming. Would recommend Chandos to anyone. View menu

Curry night was definitely a hit, food was fantastic and the service and hospitality from the new owners is always second to none. I’m glad that we were able to get booked in before it filled up. 10/10 from the team will definitely be back.

Great food, lovely pub, excellent service. Loved our family lunch, everything was absolutely lovely. The small plates menu was extensive, just felt the main course menu could have been expanded to include maybe a chicken, pork or fish dish to cover more dining options. We were able to work around this with mixing up small plates. The mussels liquor over salted personal taste. Not quite 5 stars but good enough for us to want to return. A great village gastro pub with lovely welcoming staff.

I don’t think we’ve ever been to such a warm and friendly pub. Connor is an outstanding host who went way above and beyond to ensure our 5 night birthday get away was something to remember. We loved reading about the pubs history, chatting to the locals and Sean’s Sunday dinner was superb. Connor and Sean only took over the pub 3 months ago but they’re doing a great job. Highly recommended for a quiet drink or a lovely meal. Many thanks for the hilarious conversations on the most trivial of things. FYI it’s a barm!! Hope to see you all again, Karen Dave View menu

Was Out Walking Noticed A Blackboard Saying chandos Arms Open With Directions So Walked To Pub Saw Another Sign Says Support Your Local So I Thought Great Will Have Food And A Drink, Walked In Very Quiet Waited 10Minuites To Be Greeted Rudely By A Women Who Said We Are Closed Don't Open Monday And Tuesday!!!! Should Change Your Blackboard To Say This Also When It's Your Mistake Don't Take It Out Of A Prudential New Customer,........ Went To A Great Pub Locality Called The Pointer Who Do Excellent Food And Great Staff And A Good Atmosphere So I Recommend That Go Here Instead..If They Say There Open There Open.

Really disappointed after my first visit to The Chandos since the new management has taken over. We went up for some dinner, ordered some drinks and asked for a menu. Only then to be told that it was curry night so no other food was being served and curry night was also sold out. No where on their Facebook page (as website is still under construction) does it say anything about a curry night and needing to prebook nor does it on the sign outside that says the kitchen opening times. Everywhere suggests that the kitchen is just open as normal. I will not be rushing back to eat as I won’t be able to rely on the fact that they will be serving food.

I wouldn’t bother with this place if you want afternoon tea. We arrived and were told that we didn’t have a booking for afternoon tea and they couldn’t now put one together as they had no food to provide it. I asked to speak to a manager and suddenly they said they could do it but we would have to wait half an hour, so we waited. Well it certainly wasn’t worth the wait, probably 4 slices of bread cut in fingers, with predominantly ham mustard, cheese with an unrecognisable red stuff inside and soft cheese and cucumber. One tiny scone each a tiny square of brownie and a ball of something that would give anyone with dentures a run for their money! Appalling and definitely not worth £14 a head!... View menu
