Just had lunch with friends at the oak on the green, and have to say for the first time I was really disappointed. Having took an hour for lunch to arrive, my chips were cold, the dish my friend had was a small piece of...dried up chicken with two mini carrots and potatoes that was it , the sausage baguette had two tiny sausages in it and the loaded fries were also cold.More

Lovely meal with family. Paul and staff very welcoming and friendly. Great atmosphere. Food good sized. Food Tasted delicious and wasn't a long wait. A lovely evening.

Had a great meal with family, the food was excellent, the service was quick, the staff were lovely, and made us feel really welcome .

Went with family to celebrate my son’s birthday. Three of us ordered the chicken skewers. What arrived was inedible. Three tiny pieces of dried up, cold chicken, skewered between tiny pieces of raw pepper, onion and pineapple. How the waitress could put it in front...of us without being embarrassed, I don’t know! I complained to the manager who was defensive and off hand. He didn’t come to the table to see why I was so disappointed. Absolute waste of money!More

Food was lovely, our waitress was fantastic but the waiting time for our food was shocking. We waited over an hour from ordering to get our mains, desserts even took 30 mins from placing order, the restaurant wasn’t really that busy but the bar was...heaving which was apparently the reason for the delayMore

Delicious food in a beautiful setting with friendly, unrushed, unobtrusive service. A perfect way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon. Can highly recommend the roasted chicken with sundried tomato and parmesan sauce and can’t wait to come back to try the other meals on the...menu.More

First discovered in 1977 and always been on my highly recommended and go to list. I want to book the Oak for our wedding anniversary. Before booking, I saw some alarming reviews. Being in the trade, I chose to keep an open mind and booked....Noted on arrival. Very busy outside and in the bar area on arrival. Decor - Good as always, Menu - Always was something you enjoyed looking at and having to work out from the choice of meals, which you were going to plump for. Now, small font, bland menu of much less choice that leaves you looking for something interesting to consume. Service - Nothing wrong with the service but then again, nothing more than the bare minimum. The one defining point was that I ordered a pint of late red after the bland hop pocket. Out came another hop pocket which was politely declined having repeated my order for late red. Correct beer arrives promptly followed five minutes later by another hop pocket. That is potentially, two wasted pints of beer. Not good for the GP. Meal observations -Cheesy garlic bread starter good, thankyou. Burger and fries ordered . That is it, burger and a beaker of fries. Most burgers these days have an onion ring or two to bulk the plate up. Still, we did order burger and fries. After all of my disappointment at the reading of the menu, I ordered the chili crock pot, remembering the meal that used to be legendary at the Oak. If if was two thirds the size it used to be, that was an exaggeration. cast iron cauldron, 2/3rds of which was rice with a bit of melted cheese on top causing the rice to have an 'overcooked' texture. Don't get me wrong, the chili element was lovely. Four wrapped tortillas about 5 inches in diameter, all were doughy in the centre and barely separable without expert surgery. There was a collection of three conical ramekins each about two inches circumference containing soured cream, guacamole and a lettuce mixture. None were close to full. The sour cream lasted two wraps and the guacamole made three. The lettuce combination was another two wrap offering. I ate three wraps and left the other languishing on the side of the plate. The chilli I ate along with some rice but was left with half a bowl of rice after the chili was gone. £16.50 I am happy to pay if the meal is of reasonable quality. Normally, I would have spoken with the server, but this was our wedding anniversary and I was not about to ruin the day by bringing up the quantity of the meal. Conclusion - What once was one of our go to venues has ,as others have commented of late, become an also ran, living on it's past reputation which will sadly, not take long to tarnish. Come on, team Oak, don't let the place die.More

Great service and lovely staff as always. New menu offering better value than the previous menu. Had the steak which was cooked perfectly.

Our table was ready when we arrived and I wanted a mocktail with elderflower. They actually made me a really nice mocktail and should add it to their drinks menu! For starters I had the crispy bri. I have just looked back on the menu...and I am horrified at how many calories is in this starter. Well it literally was two full sized blocks of bri, and was a very large helping for a ‘small plate’. It tasted really nice. For my main I chose the Butternut squash & sage fiorelli pasta, from the seasonal special menu. The sauce was not very flavoursm, but the butternut squash was not over powering. For dessert I chose the strawberry and rhubarb crumble. I have never had this or seen this before, and it was out of this world. I highly recommend this dessert.More

I recently went to Oak on the Green for a meal with three friends. The food and the service were amazing and the atmosphere was lovely. We have been before and the food has always been amazing and we had the same experience on this...occasion. I would highly recommend Oak on The Green and we will be going back again when we can. Thank you.More

Poor service. Was excited to try this pub having lived locally for some time - will not be returning. £1.50 for a minuscule drop of lime in beer on top of cost of beer at £6?? Miserable staff … much better places locally to frequent.

This Pub built it's reputation on huge portioned Meals that were absolutely amazing & the place that you couldn't wait to recommend to Family & Friends! Sadly that's no more! Had my Wife's Birthday Meal there Last night & to be honest the Menu is...just simply boring! You just cannot serve a small Sirloin Steak with a tiny piece of Lettuce & a portion of Chips! It is no where near enough! Peas, Mushrooms, Onion Rings & Tomatoes are all cheap items & are available to buy as a side dish but they should be on the Plate with the Steak! The Food is cooked well but the Menu really needs sorting out! Won't be going back anymore! Felt ripped off!More
