I appreciate it’s a steakhouse but other steakhouses have vegan and vegetarian offers . The one week we came I had a lovely Thai curry but the following week it seemed like just a tin of chic peas in a coconut sauce with rice shoved on the side . Another week we came as live nearby and it’s a nice atmosphere the owner seems nice and a hard worker . Pitches in with the young bar staff . I asked for veggie roast And my partner had meat roast . He was pleased with his but mine consisted of just vegetables . To be fair they said I couldn’t have roast potatoes as done in goose fat . They forgot my veggie gravy I waited about 7 minutes for it . It is a nice place and relaxing atmosphere but would be nice if catered for more vegan and vegetarian.
We actually came for the Twisted Spoon but they were full so they offered us a table in the pub which takes up most of the building. It's table service in the pub, which is great. We had iced coffee and ice cream so didn't see the pub menu. But service was good, and cake on offer looked great. There are outside tables and the occasional chicken wandering through the garden. There are 2 steps from the main entrance up to the pub and toilets but the café part is via a slope. Pub was pretty cool considering how hot it was.
The food here is fabulous. The place is only let down by the service. My 3 stars are for the chef and their team in the kitchen. We had a seafood platter to start which had some amazing tastes. The best thing on that platter being the smoked mackerel pate. For mains I had the lamb burger with goats cheese and my husband had the pie of the day (chicken and tarragon) both bursting with flavour and beautifully cooked. All the food eaten was excellent value for money. The decor here is quirky love the bottle covered ceiling. Seating is nicely arranged. This place should be getting 5 stars every time if it were not for the staff serving. Numerous times we had to try and get the attention of the numerous young ladies serving. They were so busy chatting that we would have to go to the bar to pay as none of them were looking up to notice numerous people putting their hands up to get service. The room too was getting quite cold before we left. I thought it was the large gap under the fire exit near our table, but it would turn out to be the door to the beer garden that was wide open that was making everyone near it put on their coats (luckily we were sat quite a way from it). If the staff had been paying attention they would surely have closed the door. Some staff training would go a long way in this restaurant. I’m sure ourselves and others would have spent a lot more on drinks and food if we’d been able to get served and had the place been warm enough with the simple closure of a door.
We are house sitting locally and thought it would be good to try a local eatery. We are so pleased we tried the Oak House as the staff were particularly friendly, the food was superb and at a reasonable price. It’s a pity we don’t live nearby as this would definitely warrant a regular visit. Thank you all.
Had a super meal at The Oak. Gammon Steak with all the trimmings was excellent and side order of Onion Rings to die for. My wife’s Lamb Tagine was excellent tender and tasty. Recommend beer was very good too, super staff too very attentive and courteous definitely worth a visit.
