We made a booking for 830 on Friday evening. When we arrived we were advised that they had stopped serving food
Absolutely ridiculous, why allow bookings to be made if you aren't open to serve food

We have had Sunday lunch at the Shire Oak three times. We return because each time we are greeted by wonderful staff and the meals are outstanding.

Really good home made food. Fresh NOT frozen vegetables. Had the beef Sunday lunch and asked for the pink meat. I got the pink meat. Veg nice and crunchy. Gravy nice and think not the thin stuff you usually get. Could not eat it all, will definitely go again.

Scottish bar maid made us feel very welcome served us immediately (although pub was quiet ). Food was served quite quickly and the Lasagne and salad I received was beautifully cooked and the salad was actually a fresh salad. No limp lettuce here or dried up out of a bag, it was lovely .
Drinks were good beer served was obviously kept well .
We hadn't been here since Covid and will be back - it was lovely
