Amazing food at The White Oak, a nicely refurnished pub, only lacking a roaring fire on a freezing cold night. The main fish fish was sublime and the chocolate mousse was perfectly balanced and flavoured. Really friendly and attentive service topped it off; we’ll definitely be back!

The service really let down our lunch today. We never received our starters and there was no apology about this. The staff were just not on the ball. The mains were ok. There were a few cold elements which should have been warm to accompany hot food. Overall very average.

We had the Sunday roast which was delicious. The only complaint was that it arrived less than 5 minutes after ordering which was too quick especially considering we’d purchased a pre-dinner drink
