   We regularly visit the Greene Oak. However this time we were disappointed to find that they only had the lunch time set menu on offer in the evening. There wasn't mush on there that we really fancied sadly. I therefore had two starters which were both good and my companion had fish and chips which although good was not that special for an evening out. Please can you bring back the full menu for the evening or make it clear on booking that only the set menu is avaiable

   Dear Gill I'm sorry to hear your last experience wasn't as good as previous, I think there has been a misunderstanding. Our set lunch offer is only available at lunch times and encompasses the entire Main Menu for the price, that's a range of 12 starters, 11 mains and 7 desserts to choose from. Our evening and weekend menu is the same content but priced 'a la carte', there is a small box advertising the set lunch price on the menu to encourage more lunchtime visits but is not available at evenings and weekends and you would not have been offered it. Our menu size has been the same for many years and often grows, it certainly is not reduced in any way. I am sorry there was nothing to your liking. We change our menu regularly so please do stop by again soon and give it another go.

   Rather low-energy as a whole. Food was ok but batter on cod was a bit flabby; everything felt less well polished than on previous visits. Service was ok but not very attentive, we had to flag down staff to get dessert menus, bill etc. A little more attention to the detail of the food and reading the room better would add the finishing touches.

   Good food as ever and all the team very friendly. Only reason I didn’t score a 5 is because we waited almost an hour for our mains (having decided to skip starters). We had to chase and as one of our party of 5 was a diabetic the wait was a little slower than ideal. I appreciate it was a busy Saturday though so it’s probably a rota issue rather than the fault of any one individual

   All very good, except the thick portions of the liver - a little tough, and not what one normally expects for a liver dish.

   An outstanding Sunday roast as always. I wasn't really a fan of going out for a Sunday roast as I enjoy cooking the meal, but since trying The Greene Oak I can say I am a convert, easily the best I've Sunday roast you'll have.

   A lovely family Sunday lunch and waiting staff were so kind and courteous and even rustled up a special treat for my husbands birthday. Everyone’s food was great and plentiful sides with the roasts were fully appreciated!

    Service was excellent, although a bit pricey the food was superb, atmosphere fine and not too noisy. It was packed but the seating arrangements didn’t make it feel so.
