"I came to the oak on a Wednesday for dinner with my girlfriend. The second we stepped foot through the door we felt welcomed. Being the time of year it is and the time we decided to dine it was quiet whilst still exceedingly atmospheric. After being served our drinks by the attentive bar staff (a very lovely lady whos name escapes me), the head chef alex struck up a conversation with us from behind the bar. Clearly a man that knows his food, his menu and commands a perfect execution of the dishes he prepares. Whilst we were perusing the menu, the chef; Alex, instead of forcing the most expensive items on the menu upon us, helped us to find items that perfectly suited what we were looking for. Having worked in hospitality for years myself, both back and front of house, ive never met a chef so forthwright in customer engagement whilst maintaing pure proffesionalism. Being a cold and horribly wet novemeber eve, i setteld on the trio of sausages with mash, peas and hands down the best onion gravy ive ever had the pleasure to consume! My other half went for the venison and squash hot-pot. We ended up sharing both between us as each dish warrented food envy from either side. With the complex flavours, presentation and quality of the food, youd expect a hefty price tag. But that is also not the case. I cannot wait to return and i cannot stop recommending this gem hidden in the grassy rough of the country side."

Went today for a lovely lunch such friendly staff and lovely chef. Food was amazing. Nice cozy little pub in a nice village. Dog friendly pub so we was able to take the dog too.

Excellent home cooked food and great friendly service. Highly recommended. We are hoping to move to the area and though we would check out the local pubs, lucky to find this one, we will definitely be back.

Nice boozer for darts. However £4 for a 330ml bottle of peroni zero is a tad over the top that equates to around £7 a pint. Hardly encouraging for a driver or anyone else not wanting an alcoholic beer. Especially as at wholesale they are 87p each.

This place has recently been taken over and completely done up. The food looked excellent. Staff were really friendly. I think that this place has probably taken all the custom from The Manor... we will be returning for a meal soon. And we did indeed return for a meal and it was wonderful...

Warm, friendly greeting. Lovely meal, reasonably priced. it was our first time at the pub but Paul, Debbie and Daisy made our evening special. It was music night but the band playing were not the usual band. So we will go again to hear their normal band. Thoroughly recommend the Oak. We will definitely go back now we have discovered it.

We visited for lunch on a Wednesday, benefitting from a 20% discount. We had booked, but that was unnecessary as it was comparatively quiet. The menu had plenty of choice and the service was good. The food was well presented, plentiful and hot (not something we can guarantee these days). We will not leave it more than 5 years before we visit again.

Today was our first time eating at the Oak Inn on a Sunday. So good I had to leave a review, pleasant ambience and wonderful staff add up to a great dining experience. The quality of the roast lunch was exceptional. We had the beef and lamb, both cooked perfectly. The vegetable selection had flavour rarely experienced in pubs. Hats off to the chefs, especially as the whole place was packed. We’ll definitely be back soon!
