Best Gastro Pubs in Oakley

I can honestly say this was the most enjoyable meal I have had for a long time. A regular foodie to Michelin restaurants throughout the world which I say not to show off but to put in perspective. The food itself was exceptional, beautifully presented with all the grandeur of the fancy chefs but somehow making it a meal. When did you last have such superb pig’s trotters. We loved it. I could go into all the pompous descriptions but it is easier to say just go, you cannot be disappointed. That being said don’t do it too soon because I’m aiming to return to have other items that caught my attention and would hate to think I couldn’t get in. The lady, and I’m so cross I didn’t get her name, that looked after us was wonderful. Efficient, professional but mostly delightful. We honestly felt cared for. We loved the ambiance too. Somehow discreet, very comfortable and peacefully quiet. Downside? We ordered three puddings between the two of us (don’t judge us, it’s hard to choose) and they are such large portions we couldn’t finish them. My street cred as dessert king in tatters. Loved it

The staff were amazing, friendly, attentive and very polite and pleasant. Overall we had a great afternoon. The only thing I would like to mention is that the roast lamb was very tough and rubbery on the day. Most of us actually left the meat as it was hard to chew.

Such a warm welcome, we were well looked after. The food was delicious and everything was perfect

Really enjoyable lunch. Friendly welcome, excellent choice on menu, beautifully-presented dishes and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

Great Sunday roast, well cooked and full of flavour.
