  “Impeccable service from start to finish. Our waiter was polite, attentive and well informed about dishes on the menu. The kitchen presents standard British fair - which I am not generally a fan of - in a delicious, elegant and fresh format. Though the garden room is a bit cramped and dark, we had a good time. Take care with the mocktails, they are very sweet!”

  “had my 80 th birthday lunch here with family today. we chose from the best menu and started with the celeriac soup. All freshly made hot and creamy and just right on a cold wet day. I followed with the linguini which oozed pesto walnuts and great seasonings and followed with thr Pan cotta which was served by mine host with a small flaming cake candle placed in a raspberry in the coil is. I loved this great touch which was accompanied with a chorus of Happy birthday . My daughter loved the fish cakes and son in law demolished the chicken choice. They share a portion of chocolate mousse between them an my daughter and I shared a bottle of New Zealand crisp white wine. . we also went to see the secret garden which can be adapted to suit all weathers . it is delightful. all in all our time at the oak was totally memorable for the great food and excellent service. we will definitely go again.”

  “Excellent food and service. Scallops were the standout: very tasty with good accompaniment sauces. Beef wellington was good, with a rich gravy underneath. Chocolate fondant and creme brûlée were superb, rich flavours and excellent presentation. Perfect venue in the garden section, from first date to big party. Constantinos was an attentive waiter and extremely polite.”

  “For me, the ideal mix of food quality, affordability, and ambiance. I had the beef welly and a Bordeaux that paired wonderfully. They also have an extensive dessert wine list.”

  “The Oak absolutely excelled with their Valentines menu last night. The lobster ceviche was the star - beautiful with fresh flavours. We've been going to the Oak for 15 years. It's just lovely - our happy place! Thank you Phil & Co.”

  “Our friends raved about the perfectly cooked beef Wellington here, and when we recently visited for a farewell dinner, we completely agreed with them. The other dishes were also delicious. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our meal and would happily return for another special occasion.”

  “Fabulous. We attended for an early work Xmas party and I was very impressed with the attention to detail and level of service provided. Phillip was up beat, knew all of ours names and made the evening comfortable and run very smoothly. The food was beautiful all guests were very happy with their food and the portions were perfect. Highly recommend and would certainly return.”

  “We had a delightful lunch experience here. We were on a hunt for a great Beef Wellington and photos from this place got us on the hook. The Wellington itself was the highlight of our visit - it exceeded our expectations! We had a few starters and a swordfish as another main - they were good but probably not perfect, at least not on the same level as the Beef. The desserts were excellent! I also want to highlight the impeccable service we received here - it was probably the most friendly and welcoming service we had in quite a while! I would recommend this place and would come again but I wish they add a bit more finesse to other dishes as well for this place to step up and offer even better experience!”

  “Solid 4.6 Modicum rare scallops. Fresh and juicy (no fishiness). A little salty but go well with the pee puree, which is mellow and sweet. As a mushy pea lover, it’s a big factor in my decision to take scallop instead of prawn. Gnocchi surprisingly comes without sauce (or cheese), less fat I hope. Truffle is on the subtle side. Tomato is tangy and appetizing, interesting combination. Mushrooms are juicy but not slimy. Decided to try the poached pear even if it means I’ll need a takeaway and will still have sugar rush when I try to finish my dissertation. Coconut icecream is really refreshing, light, not too sweet. The pear is delightfully confusing— pear shape, orange color, peach texture, saffron aroma. I should have come earlier in the past four years. But until now it has been quite difficult to book :) Glad I came. Hope my parents can enjoy the food and lovely wine list here someday. Friendly and welcoming people actually. Looking forward to try the other starters and mains.”
