Oak Tree in Bromsgrove

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic as always

Great service at the bar, thank you Stacey and Alisha.

Had a lovely service, Stacey and Alisha made the visit comfortable for us from ordering to our food arriving. The ladies went out of their way to ensure we had all we needed including more drinks. Thank you again :)

Stacey and Alisha were lovely and provided excellent service

Menu very good and varied, food lovely, staff very friendly.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Visited for a family meal to celebrate a birthday. With several dogs (one very nervous) and a wheelchair user we find it difficult to go out! Staff accommodated us considerately, even moving us from our initial table when they could see that we would be better seated elsewhere. Decent food. Issue with one meal - very quickly replaced. Will definitely return for a more relaxed meal soon!

Always a lovely meal and the staff are always friendly and make you feel welcome thank you Stacey and John

Lovely food, amazing staff and a calm, welcoming atmosphere ☺️

Gorgeous staff, Stacey Emily and Caitlyn looked after us so well despite it being a busy Saturday night, three absolute assets to the team! Amazing pub, our favourite for years!

We had a lovely time all staff were friendly approachable knowledgeable the food was lovely service 100% couldn’t fault our visit thank you to John stacey Leah and Emily for making our visit so good

Fabulous evening, many thanks for a great night

Stacey and Alisha made all the family feel welcome

Really pleased with the service and food in this pub, it’s a great example of how a chain place can still be high quality and really pleasant environment. Special thanks to Stacey and Alisha who looked after our group really well.

Lovely service from Stacey and Alisha. 100% recommended.

The staff who were working were really kind sweet and positive the food was delicious and the pub was really cozy

good food for reasonable prices

We visted on 1st Feb, struggled to see a free table as multiple tables were in use for bigger parties. The Girls managed to squeeze us in and explained their was a wait on food. Bar staff and waiting staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble considering they were rushed off their feet. Definitely need more staff on days like Saturday 3 isn't enough.

Lovely food and really great feeling and atmosphere.

Visited with the wife, my sister and brother in law. Staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was tasty and nicely cooked. We'll be back (and soon).

Stacey and Alisha was lovely and friendly, had good energy about them. Food was great, love that the doggy menu is up and running now. The dog approved too.

Staff excellent, Gina and Stacey went up and beyond, very good service, food was wholesome and tasty. The dog enjoyed his pigs in blankets!

The make me move tables twice while deciding what to get. Seriously, if the table was not reserve I should be able to sit down.

Clean, pleasant and welcoming environment

Great place to eat. Friendly staff, Stacey and Mia. Lovely freshly cooked food and well presented.

Great experience. Fantastic food. Served by Stacey and Alisha

Food and service good. A pleasant hour. Stacey Alisha was very accommodating.

Lovely pub Stacey and alisha was outstanding the blonde haired woman I couldn't of faulted her not once she was outstanding my son is autistic had abit of a meltdown over his dinner crying and screaming she come over with colouring then toys !!! And then when we left even gave him 2 lollipops what a lovely lady can tell she is a mother herself such a motherly instinct made us as a family feel at ease to come here more often and not all pubs are understanding and patient with us thank you and overall the food was amazing aswell

Food took a very long time to arrive, no pre warning it would, food was fine but not worth the wait. Seating area was unbeatably hot and uncomfortable. We won’t be returning.

Great customer service and lovely staff thankyou stacey alisha and mia

Always a pleasant experience. Good food, attentive staff and a great venue.

Brilliant customer service from Stacey ,Alisha and Mia food was lovely would highly recommend thanks

Great value food, pleasant family dining.

Fabulous, special mention to Stacey, Alicia and Emily who made our visit very enjoyable :-)

Great evening for my daughters birthday Stacey and Alisha were really helpful and friendly thank you

This is a better than average, local cheap as chips pub chain type establishment so as long as you go in with that expectation you will be happy. The staff are always happy, helpful and friendly and offer brilliant service. We had particularly great service from Stacey & Alisha this evening Theres a good range of food on the menu and its all pretty tasty with decent portions. Its your basic pib food type offerings but theres plenty to choose from and a few more interesting bits too. Food comes out relatively quickly and all was piping hot and well cooked. If you have a pooch at home they are a dog friendly place with a doggy station for blankets, water bowls and treats however for those who dont want to eat around a 4 legged friend the dog friendly seating area is sufficiently seperate from the main restaurant area. Tables and seats are comfy and well spaced out so it doesnt feel cramped Overall its a great place to have on our doorstep and a favourite of ours when we want to pop out for a quick and easy dinner that we know we will enjoy but won't cost the earth Can reccommend: The ultimate burgers, mac and cheese bowls, chicken kebab and the thai veg curry. All some of our favs.

Very comfortable surroundings friendly and pleasant staff

Good service. Nice food Stacey and Alisha were very friendly.

We were a party of 9 (6 adults, 1 teenager and 2 toddlers), it was a family get together meal as 3 members of the party were traveling home the next day after spending 2 weeks celebrating Christmas and New year. The three ladies that we had that took our order and served us with our food and beverages were absolutely amazing, there is a couple of picky eaters in the group. The ladies were pleasant and friendly and extremely helpful. The only downfall we had was that the chef didn't read the food order ticket correctly and made mistakes on 2 meals, we know the waitress had taken the order correctly as she read it back to us before we paid. The waitress even noticed the order was wrong when she brought it out and brought the food to us to show us and said she will get the meal cooked from fresh. Overall we had a lovely time together and were looked after well by the waitress's.

Lovely location, great staff. Quick service. Tasty food. Shout out to Stacey for her smiles and attention during our meal

Very lovely venue and great food Wonderful service from our server Stacey

Lovely staff and tasty food - dessert was great too I definitely recommend the rocky road sundae ! - Stacey was lovely and wished me a happy birthday with candles and dessert too :)) Highly recommend this place - great service

I visited with my family for a celebration meal, the team were really friendly and the food was really well cooked and delicious.

Reserved a table and got seated pretty quickly. Food was great, wasn't given a kids menu, but it was fine. Pretty easy to order too and food came quick.

A very positive experience. The pub allowed dogs inside with water dishes available.

Lovely with the children. Helpful and friendly staff. Food portions worked well for us. A nice lunch with my grandsons have recommended it to the family and would visit again.

Stopped here for some late lunch after a long walk up the Lickey hills. The lady serving behind the bar who I assume was the manageress was friendly and welcoming. We sat in a booth with a little TV in (nice touch) and had the southern fried ultimate burger and the cowboy burger. Both 10/10, hot and fresh and said we would definitely return one day for a pint and a game of pool. Thank you :)

Come in for a drink Stacey and Alisha absolutely lovely

Fantastic service from Stacey alisha and Emily chef needs to read his tickets but amazing in the end

Living in Birmingham for many years I’ve been meaning to go to this place, essentially at the gateway to the Lickey Hills Country Park, for a long time but what with one thing and another had never got around to it. But last Monday, the day before New Year’s Eve, we’d been to the park in the morning, felt like lunch out rather than at home, and this seemed like the ideal opportunity. We arrived at 1pm, and considering it was lunchtime it was quite quiet — good, we thought, since that should have meant a minimal wait. My order was for a medium sirloin steak, with the rest of us ordering hunter’s chicken and fish bites and chips. Time passed. And passed. The pub started filling up, and time continued to pass. 45 minutes after placing our order I decided to go to the bar to see where our food was — not least because we’d almost finished our drinks. The barmaid went into the kitchen, and then came out with our food and took it to the table; after placing it down I asked if we might have some complementary drinks to eat with our food, since we’d just about (after getting through them as slowly as we could) finished the ones we’d bought on ordering. She said she’d have to speak to her manager, and went; whilst she said she was sorry for the wait, I didn’t get much of a sense of genuine regret from it, more that she knows that what you’re supposed to do in that situation is say sorry for the wait. It was then when I started eating my food that I gained an insight into perhaps why it had taken 45 minutes to cook, for my ‘medium’ steak was very much beyond medium, it was indeed far beyond what the steak levels of doneness meme has as ‘order the chicken you steak-hating b-yard’. It’s also a good job there was a proper steak knife because it was so tough to cut — and to chew — that I might have needed a power saw to cut it. I believe there were some mushrooms, though the brown spheres on the plate which I suspected of being mushrooms could have been more or less anything. And the chips had something of a background taste and odour of barbecue sauce about them, which was especially annoying because I really don’t like barbecue sauce. Fortunately for my co-diners their food they declared as being yeahwa’evs average. All the while I was getting my jaw exercise eating the steak I was thinking another glass of wine might have made it easier to go down; eventually after 20 minutes just as we were finishing our food those free drinks to make up for the 45 minute wait I asked for eventually arrived, which on the one hand, at least they eventually arrived, but on the other hand it did mean we ended up staying longer still than expected to drink them. When I was standing at the bar asking where my food was, the two people stood behind me said ‘oh dear, that doesn’t bode well, we’ve only just arrived’; as we were leaving I went over to their table and said ‘pro tip, if you’re going to ask for a free drink ask for it at half an hour if you want to stand a chance of it coming whilst you’ve still got food to eat’. ‘Oh dear, it looks like we’ve been waiting 35 minutes’, they replied, just as their food arrived.

I’m not going to speculate on the extent to which the people running and staffing this pub care about the experience they give customers for whom it will be the first, and perhaps only, pub they see on arriving at and leaving the park. I’m also not going to speculate on the staffing level, since there were three people serving at the bar on that quiet lunchtime. I expect food in a restaurant to take a little while to come, and indeed in a gastropub. I think the only other times my food has taken over 45 minutes to come has been the occasions I’ve eaten in Persian restaurants, because the nature of the food is that it takes a long time to cook. Whilst I’d expect a little bit of a wait at lunchtime, as I said, it really was not busy when we arrived, though it was getting busy as we left. It certainly does not take 45 minutes to cook a medium steak and chips, and frankly I suspect the hunter’s chicken was probably to a high degree pre-part-cooked rather than having been butchered there in the kitchen on order. Whilst I’m not going to deny I’m the sort of person who’ll never miss an opportunity to try to get a free drink, this is not free for the sake of trying to blag a freebie — any reasonable person expects to pace themself with their drink when they go to a pub for lunch if they’re not expecting to stay for a sesh, half the drink whilst waiting, half with their food. I think the request for a free drink both in recompense for the wait and to have a drink to eat with the food is a perfectly reasonable one, not a Karen move, so it was adding insult to injury that it didn’t come until we’d nearly finished our food. In short, don’t go there to eat; if you’ve spent a morning or afternoon in the park and want to eat out straight afterwards, get Google Maps out and find a nearby alternative.

Staff Stacey, Auisha, and Emily served us and we're very patient with us as a large group. Excellentser service.

Great pub, dog friendly, great food, good prices, good pints. Was served by Stacey very polite, and Alisha brought my food over again very friendly!!

Lovely friendly staff ( Stacey and Alisha) food is amazing and quick service. Really good value for money. We’ve been coming here for a while now and we have never had a bad meal, would highly recommended

Breakfast with the Grinch great fun lovely food

Worst meal in terms of value ever.Cheap fries supposed to be loaded bit of Barbecue Sauce and cheese was processed which cover only a handful of chips.Better value in local chippie.Chicken pieces amounted to 6 or 7 from Iceland I guess No shocking value did give comments to waitress who just smiled and walked off

I went today and food was absolutely amazing people were so kind the atmosphere was clean and food come out so quick

An excellent meal from the festive menu. Lovely freshly made tomato soup, followed by a turkey dinner with all the trimmings and a nice dessert. From the off, we were made very welcome (we had already reserved our table in October). Our host was Sophie and she greeted us with a smile taking us directly to our table. Every where was clean and well presented and the waiting staff couldn't do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. Although I chose the tomato soup as my starter my wife had the pate, which was equally just as tasty and enjoyable. The main had a variety of vegetables, succulent turkey (not over cooked & dry) and the biggest Yorkshire pud (lovely & crispy). I had ice cream for dessert but the missus had christmas pudding with custard, which she couldn't fault. Since this pub has changed hands it has improved a lot. The service, the food the decor. If you are in the area and you fancy some nice pub grub and a pint give the Oak Tree a go. Thank you again Sophie for being a great host.

The food and Service was brilliant couldn’t ask for anything more very impressive will book up again next year for sure Sorry forgot to take photos Christmas dinner

Christmas day dinner. Excellent food, staff and atmosphere. Very organised and did not feel overcrowded as other places on Christmas day have been in the past. 2 hours at table which was adequate as food was delivered in a timely manner. Would book again for Christmas day.

Just had a lovely Christmas dinner here today, Sally and the staff are all amazing and really friendly, the food was delicious and will definitely be returning, thank you again 😀

Arrived early and table was ready and a great view too food was amazing just enough on the plates staff where so helpful asking if we wanted anything else can not fault it at all definitely will book up for next year thanks for a lovely meal and day

Really lovely food. Friendly staff. They were Stacey Mimi Sally and Jan were great

We had a party of 20 of us and the staff couldn’t have done more for us. All food was brought out quickly, Stacey and Alisha were friendly and helpful. Thank you for making our party a great time.

Went to this pub to celebrate my grandaughters 17th birthday. Waited 1hr45mins for our meal was sparse of food, cold and also missing food items. Had to ask for gravy, pigs in blankets & missing roast potatoes. Staff very dismissive not helpful. Will not be returning.

A lovely place to meet with family and friends, enjoy a drink or 10 and have delicious food!

Stacey, Alisha and Caitlyn were brilliant, great quiz too!

Great service and friendly staff. Thanks to the lovely ladies Stacey, Alisha and Caitlyn x

Fantastic food and Fantastic service from Stacey , ausha 👌

Amazing time Stacey Alisha and Emily need a raise

Was served today by Stacey Alisha and Emily I haven’t been to the oak tree in a few months and my service last time wasn’t the best however today made up for it the ladies were lovely and very warm couldn’t do enough for us. We came for my brothers 17th birthday there was 11 of us food was great and served quickly. Thanks ladies be back again soon.

I absolutely loved it here. What a huge improvement a new manager can make. Thank you to Alisha and Stacey for making sure we had everything we needed. Polite and friendly. Went over and above. We will definitely be back.

Myself and members of our family are dairy intolerant and have nut allergy's,the staff were really helpful and cautious to make sure our dietary needs were met. People need to come and try this restaurant as I know over the years it's not had a very good reputation we've even booked our Christmas dinner here 😀.

Alisha pours a lovely Pint would recommend highly

Staff friendly and professional food good and well presented and priced

Stacey,Mia,and Alisha were very welcoming,friendly and efficient.

A great big thank you to Sally and Gina for the care that you showed today. The spread was lovely, you did us proud thank you so much. Geraldine and Lee Duckworth.

Fab food and such friendly service. Stacey, Alisha and Mia made our usually manic family dinner a calming experience. They were very friendly and polite. A pleasure to eat somewhere with lovely staff!

really enjoyed tonight, very good quality and excellent service, well done to alisha, Stacey and mia, very polite girls, food was good, will definitely recommend 😀

Lovely family meal with fantastic service from the staff. Especially stacey, Mia and alisha

We travelled a long way for a special occasion, The Oak tree helped to make it perfect

Went here with friends for the 2 course Xmas menu. Staff were polite & service was good. The Xmas dinner was warm, tasteless & the gravy was like water! Not enjoyable at all!

No heating on, ate our meals with our coats on , food quality was poor . The staff were run of their feet as there didn't seem to be adequate staff working. We won't be going back

Had a lovely lunch after a walk in the Lickey Hills. I'm gluten-free, and they have a separate menu for you. The staff were fantastic, thank you both for making us feel very welcome.

Thank you to Stacey, Alisha and Caitlyn for their exceptional customer service with our group tonight. There was a large group of us and they ensured our experience was number one priority. Food was delicious and prompt.

Lovely place and good food,the staff was good an friendly,good service by Stacey,Alisha and Caitlyn

Lovely staff, food and atmosphere !

Been visiting for almost two years as our local pub since we moved to the area. Always 5* service especially Stacey and Alisha who are amazing with my daughter every time we come in. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely restaurant, top food. Staff are excellent.

Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service from Stacey and Alisha, Food was amazing and the portion sizes are massive.

lovely food and pub and great staff sally mimi and joe

Got there early afternoon. There were plenty of seats. Food took a while to arrive, but it was good. I had Chicken pie, chips and peas. The crust was slightly on the hard side, but the pie was definitely edible. The woman that served the food was pleasant. Nice atmosphere, I would recommend.

Disappointed with the offering here. Nice pub but food was poor, pie looked like supermarket brought and the roast dinner looked less appetising than should
