About The Oak, Aston Clinton
The Oak, Aston Clinton is a half-timbered, thatched-roof pub on Green End St in Aylesbury, with a beer garden and a back dining area with a fire. The kitchen serves hanging kebabs alongside pub classics such as pie of the day and cottage pie, plus a ploughman's and roast lamb. Sunday roast runs as a regular lunch option, and dirty fries and sourdough, including toast and a loaf, also appear on the menu. As a Fullers pub, it pours Fullers ales, and table service brings orders and drinks to diners directly. Dogs are welcome inside. A car park sits on site, though space there is limited.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast draws the most attention, with several diners praising generous portions and dishes like the beef and ale pie, cottage pie, and ploughman's platter of cheese, pickles, and apples. Close behind, reviewers single out the hanging kebabs, dirty fries, and a Fullers ale selection alongside friendly, welcoming service and a cosy fireside dining area. Also mentioned favorably are the sourdough loaf and apple crumble from a birthday gathering. A recurring complaint centers on Sunday lunch service, though: multiple reviewers describe long waits for food that arrived lukewarm or stone cold, one recounting a family meal where kids' food came out with the adults' mains, no cutlery was provided until requested, and a server was described as short-tempered with no apology offered. Another diner was told mid-meal that the table was needed shortly for the next booking. One reviewer suggests booking ahead on busier evenings, having found the pub full on a Thursday visit.

“What a delicious Sunday roast we had today! Everything was just perfect and as we like. We will certainly be making The Oak a regular Sunday place to eat. Full compliments to the Chef and all the team.”

“This is a very nice pub, but I wouldn't bother with the Sunday lunch. We waited approximately 45 minutes for the lunch to be served, it was stone cold when it arrived at the table, and there was less meat than usual. Half way through eating we were told that we had 10 minutes to eat up, as the table was needed for the next booking. Never again, not this side of heaven.”

“Very good food here! Defo recommend a visit! It was very busy when we went on a Thursday evening so I would recommend booking ahead. Car park is also not the biggest so just be prepared if you have a larger vehicle.”

“Fantastic place! Been here before but today was for my mates birthday and the selection of food was exquisite! Sourdough loaf locally made, pie and mash all spruced up and delightful apple crumble and custard. Really recommend coming here hungry and ready to be amazed by the selection of food and the great atmosphere!”

“Lovely lunch at the Oak. With the fire roaring, the back dining area is exactly what an English pub should be - cosy, welcoming, warm and serving up excellent dishes. I had the Cottage pie and roasted veg, and it was delicious. It is a Fullers pub, so expect Fullers ales (not my favourite), but otherwise a superb pub and well worth a visit ☺️”
