We booked this venue for a wake for our beloved mum, prices were excellent and variety of food was excellent, lots of hot tea & coffee, our family and mums friends were welcomed and the room plenty be enough for 60 plus people, would highly...recommend.More

i have eaten there on numerous occasions since the restaurant opened. Over the years it has provided good and bad food alike dependant on the chef employed at that time [an on going situation] All they have to do is cook food. simple food. i...am not asking too much but apparently i am. Oaklands village [ trident ] seem to employ chefs who are agency workers or chefs who have blatantly falsified their C.V.s. So who is at fault... The restaurant manager, the chef[s] or the general manager. I have only eaten there as a family member is a resident..The lay out of the restaurant however has been ideal.Until now.!!The food has been on a downward spiral and now the lay out has followed suit.It certainly does not benefit the residents many who need mobility scooters,and or residents who liked the sofa arrangement for a drink with friends during the evenings.Its a about reducing staff and increasing profits driven by whom i ask?. its certainly a place to avoid .More

Tried Oaklands last weekend and the meal was lovely with lots of it, the quality was also great, the staff were all lovely too.

Was booked here for 2.30 pm as a party of 9. We arrived in good time and was told to wait in waiting area. After a very long 45 minuets ish wait, I asked how mush longer we'd have to wait, I was told table...was getting ready now and there was no apology. We was told about 3.30 the table was ready, a whole hour after being booked. We all went to the carvery and yes, you've guessed it, items ran out again, no pigs in blankets and two of the three meats very short boarding on scraps. I told the woman I spoke to about the seating about the pigs in blankets only to be told so what!!!!. I then told the person giving the meat and she said, do you know what time I started this morning? Frankly, I don't care what time you started, we were booked in at 2.30 and by this time it was 3.40, 1 hour and 10 minuets after we should have started. The attitude of the staff stinks, no apologies no discounts for items running out and offering us scraps, who the hell these guys think they are? the carver had to go and get new meats as I refused to eat scraps, and they wouldn't refund so they had to get new meat out. Disgusting hole of a place.More

We were told about Oaklands on many occasions, but didn’t get round to going. We sure wish we had, we have been many times now. Sunday lunch carvery has a selection of seasonal vegetables, all the trimmings and a choice of three meats. And you...get over your monies worth. We have the large carvery which is £8.99. There is a option of oap, small, large and extra large. The evening meal is just as good, we were surprised with the choices on the menu. Even a specials board. The prices are extremely reasonable, food is cooked to perfection, staff are so nice. It is a pleasure every time we visit. Booking is highly recommended, especially Sunday carvery.More

I was a little surprised to receive such good quality food. I'm afraid to say I prejudged on entry and thought it would be mediocre pub grub..But my sea bass was soft and succulent. The staff were knowledgeable about coeliac disease and I had plenty...of choices...More

Called in to have a drink with friends. The place is clean, bar staff were lovely, especially Paul who couldn't be more helpful. Good to see him back.

I visited the restaurant with my husband and Mother in Law after looking at the opening times on the website. It said it was open from 4pm. We got there about 5ish. We were informed by a gentlemen named Paul that they had changed their...opening times. When I told them it had not been changed on the website I was told it was not his website and it was nothing to do with him. One of the young girls there then said that if we sat down they would still cook for us even though it was early. We were left sitting there for about 10 minutes before we realised nobody was coming. We got up and started to walk out and were given a very sarcastic byebye from the gentleman named Paul. Nobody had made any effort to serve us. Not even asked us if we would like a drink. There was nobody at the bar so we couldn't even order there.More

My friend and i visited Oaklands on Monday 9th July for lunch. We both ordered omelets one ham and one mushroom. I don't know if they were frozen omelets but they both seemed exactly the same size. The ham omelette when opened up had a...slice of ham inside it and the mushroom one had whole small mushrooms in it thatlooked as though they had come out of a tin. Wont be going back there in a hurry. Very poor.More

great choices even a budget menu too, only thing i didnt like it wasnt hot enough for me.I could of said something but i never this time,if it happens again i will. As its lovely otherwise.

Seven of us regular customers visited for the Sunday Carvery yesterday and saw the new menu. Pro's-OAP price welcomed for carvery dinner. Neg-What has happened to the Dessert choices.The favourites of Sundaes and Banana Splits have disappeared (and Summer has just started) These were most...popular at our table and they appeared very popular with other customers. Did you ask any of your waiting on staff when deciding your new menu. I was also informed that the Bistro £5 meal deal has risen to £6-50 a price rise of over 25% in one go, not very well thought out and will put people off visiting Time will tell.More

Excellent food and service. Best Carvery we've been to. The Meat and vegetables were cooked perfectly. We've booked in again for next week. The waitress came over and took our drinks order which made a change from most places having to queue up at the...bar.More
