We've been here for lunch with my girlfriend and her family, we didn't know any places in the surroundings and we've found the Oak Bistro on TripAdvisor. Everything was very good, the portions were not big of course, as you expect from this kind of restaurant. The staff was very friendly and polite, the prices were in the average for the quality.
The only thing I would suggest, is to cook a little bit more the vegetables, especially when they have to go in the parmigiana :)
Overall, I would suggest this place for both a family occasion and a romantic dinner.

Patron was extremely knowledgablr. Amazing fishes and lamb, really cooked "live". Subtle notes that make each dish stunning.
Fabulous wine list.

.... is just one of the words to describe eating at The Oak, the food, the service and décor are all first class. All the food was cooked to perfection and the cheese board to finish was a great combination of flavours and big enough for two to share. Drinks, lovely wine, three courses for two(apart from the shared cheese board) and coffees for £104 - bargain. I can now see why it has taken us a long time to get a Saturday night booking and why it is so popular we will definitely be back for more.
