The Oak in Warwick

Stayed here many times before. Food was great, rooms just what we needed for an overnight stay, and car park is large. It’s great to also have a fenced off area that is secure for dogs to have a quick run around. This is all grass so it can get very wet in bad weather (something to consider for long haired dogs if you’re taking them into the pub). Love that they’re dog friendly! The only drop in service was there was a trainee behind the bar who appeared to be trying really hard, and one of the other senior staff members was rather rude to her. I appreciate you were busy, and for all I knew there could be some issues with the new staff member, but it’s not what your customers want to see.

We spent a comfy and peaceful night, breakfast was delicious, thank you to the lovely staff.

Visited this last minute in a large group of 8 adults and 8 kids 7 and under. The staff found us an area where we could spread out, and were very accommodating. The food was nice and decent portion sizes for the price. Great range of beer. Will be visiting again.

A locals pub with accommodation. The rooms are in a separate building by the beer garden round the back. Lots of parking. Rooms are comfortable and clean.

Been here a few times. Always quick service, good quality fair food and don’t need to book

Stayed in their accommodation with my dog, definitely dog friendly.

Lovely food, fair prices and a nice location.

Lovely pub that we stopped at on our long journey from Darlington to Newbury. It was a lovely break and the whole experience was very good.

Definitely recommend & will be back 👌

Overnight stay while working at Coventry Airport. Very convenient and reasonable price for comfortable accommodation. Made to feel welcome on arrival and good beer selection later at the bar.

Had lunch today, (13th. September 2024), 4 of us, 2 Hake tagliatelle, 1 lamb shank, 1 calamari and prawns plus garlic bread, (as a mains). The 'tender stem', broccoli that came with the lamb, was not possible to cut let alone eat, which was mentioned to the 'servers' to which there was no response from anybody. The Hake was dry, skin not crisps, and a little tough. We ordered Sauvignon Blanc, by the bottle, which was below average, at a price of £27.00!! The brownie was sparse, and again only average. All in all, 2 lime and sodas, pint of Abbot Ale, 2 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc, large glass of Sauvignon Blanc, 1 'chocolate brownie', 1 portion of ice cream, 2 Filter coffees, (the coffee machine was broken), total cost: about £151. Can't say it was 'value for money'!

Thanks Mel for the fantastic service and welcome. Thanks Alison for the spotlessly clean room :) Great food and service, excellent value for money.

Dined & stayed here 6th September. Staff all friendly & attentive. Food main courses & breakfast good & reasonably priced. Starter of Nachos disappointing. Bedroom pleasant with all essentials although looked slightly ‘tired’ & worn. Couple of things that would have improved accommodation 1: Black out blind as curtains didn’t block all light out 2: Hook on bathroom door as nowhere to put clothes when showering 3: Mini fridge & fresh milk rather than UHT cartons. Would have preferred not to hear ‘heated debate’ between two members of staff during breakfast.

We have visited and ate here before and was delighted with the food and when we last visited it was really busy which often reflects on how good the food is, however this time that was not the case. When we arrived staff were really friendly and took us to our table, when seated we were told that it was towards the end of service so they only had selected meat however this was at 5 pm on a Sunday which was similar to last time we visited, so we both went to go and order beef roast and then was told only one was available so my partner went with the pork roast instead. Once the food arrived we started to dig in and quickly found that the parsnips and carrots were rock hard I pushed them aside and went on to eat the roast potatoes which were dried out and hard also with no fluffy potato in the middle. We were really disappointed with the quality of the food presented to us so spoke to a member of staff who offered us a refund to which we accepted. Morale of the story is that the veg was either heated up after previously being cooked or was not cooked long enough to begin with. The staff are very friendly and helpful so this is not an issue with customer service but solely quality of food which is as a shame as that along with friendly service is why we came back, I hope these matters reach you well so you may address and improve the issues. Once improved maybe we shall come back.

Lovely, friendly pub and hotel, rooms were very clean and well equipped. A very nice stay!

Lovely food, great friendly staff. Will definately go again

Lovely staff, food okay but priced too high

Nice little pub, quick service and staff are very friendly. Food was prepared quickly and tasted great. No problems with this place and have a nice outdoor area.

A pleasant, friendly 🤗 atmosphere. The food is tasty and nicely presented.

Nice place very clean and tidy also staff very friendly.

2 day bed & breakfast stay. Friendly efficient check in, room & surrounding areas all fresh & clean. No issues with my partners allergies and were happy to amend menu to suit. We will return.

Really nice selection of food and drinks, plenty for the dogs too!

Friday night meal with great food and excellent service, I'll definitely be eating there again soon

Amazing place, with great atmosphere and food! Doggie friendly 🐕

Went there for a quick drink and a snack. Great location. The outdoor area was really lovely and perfect for bringing the kids.

This is a nice pub to go for a drink. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. There is a nice selection of beers. Prior to Covid this was one of my favourite places to eat. The plate pies were fantastic. My recent experiences of the food have been poor. The steak I ate today was not seasoned, it tasted very oily/greasy, the chips were dry and the onion rings were burnt. The nicest part of the meal was the grilled tomato. I’m sad the food hasn’t been of the standard I expect as the rest of the pub/staff/atmosphere is lovely.

Visited with friends for lunch. First visit for around 10 years, good selection of drinks served by friendly staff. The food choices were not as extensive as some other pubs but I have to say the sausage & mash was excellent my friends had steak sandwich, hunters chicken & lamb shank and everyone really enjoyed them. We followed up with apple & caramel crumble, very nice. The bill came to £105 including drinks for the 4 of us, excellent value highly recommended 👌

Went on a Thursday night food great had a band playing at 8 stopped till 10_30 very enjoyable

🌳.....We visited The Oak at Baginton whilst visiting family in Coventry. There was a good atmosphere, plenty of options for seating (whether inside or outside) and a varied choice of food - which tasted delicious. We'll definitely be back and maybe even stay over next time we visiting.....🌳

Beer with friends, very friendly with great garden

Nice pub and really nice rooms to stay in too. The food is fine however it's not high end but the prices reflect this. Stacks of drinks to choose from. Lovely landlady and landlord.

Lovely lunch time meal, food was delicious. The staff could not have been more helpful. Customer service is very important to them. Nothing was too much trouble. Had a first time non alcoholic gin, it was so good. Would certainly recommend and will visit again very soon. Thank you guys.

I had gammon, and it was cooked to perfection. Very quick and friendly service

Great little village pub food excellent and plenty of room for kids to play in the beer garden since new owner has taken over the price of beer has come to a reasonable price and the food is fantastic, and if you're a dog owner this is definitely the pub for you as they like to spoil your dog here too

The service was excellent and the food as well. Good chooise 🙂.

Lots of seating choice, inside and out. Little booths outside too. A welcome smile as you walk in, great menu and the food is absolutely fantastic. Well done to the chefs❤️ prices are reasonable and we love it here ❤️ highly recommended xxxx

Good selection of food and drinks at great prices. Friendly dog lives here.

Awful food. Don't bother going here. Expensive and truly disgusting food. I wouldn't feed it to my dog. I love a Sunday roast, but this is nowhere near good. I have paid a lot less for a lot better.

From the gallery photos on the The Oak’s website one gets the impression that the pub is a substantial building set well off the road within its own grounds. Reality on arrival is that it’s far smaller than expected and that it sits in an oppressive heavily wooded copse. Again, the website video would have you think that the interior is a brightly lit well illuminated area with well thought out décor presenting a warm and friendly atmosphere. Reality proved that it was a dark and oppressive open space with numerous tables centred on a large TV screen more resembling a dimly lit village hall. However, having booked a table online for lunch my wife and we ignored our preconceptions and presented ourselves for seating. The staff member who greeted us couldn’t get his iPad to log on to the booking system so that was ignored and we were given a table in the main hall. The first thing noticeable was the temperature. We considered putting our overcoats back on but decided to brave it out, however we noticed two other tables who decided to retain theirs. To be fair whilst this visit occurred during the noticeably cold June of 2024 a little supplementary heating would have been appreciated. Our waiter pointed out the menus and told us to order at the bar. We had already noted a lack of simple starters like a soup option and this was confirmed assertively at the bar by two male staff echoing ‘We Don’t Do Soup!”. Hence we skipped the option and went straight to ordering a burger and fish and chips. Ordering our drinks took two attempts as apparently one half of diet coke and one pint of standard coke was too complicated to get right first time. As we patiently waited, two other parties arrived and after about 40 mins it was evident that they had been served in preference to us. Calling what I presume was the manageress over she told us that our meals were late due to my fish having to be ‘hand battered’ and that took extra time! However, she returned quickly with our order and placed before me what I can only describe as the most pathetic offering of battered fish I have ever been served in my Seventy years on this planet. A slab of anaemic looking batter with the consistency of concrete which revealed a sliver (it would be an insult to call it a filet) no bigger than a quarter inch thick of dried-up fish within. It remained on my table no longer than two minutes before being sent back as totally unacceptable for the asking price of £16. Removing it with a half hearted and obviously insincere apology I was offered no explanation as to why it was so poor. I replaced the meal with the burger that my wife had ordered and to be fair to The Oak that was indeed well cooked and very tasty. Paying up I was still not offered a satisfactory apology nor any explanation. We paid for the two burgers and drinks and left as quickly as we could for coffee elsewhere. Other reviews of this pub mention that it’s grossly overpriced for the quality of food on offer. That would be an understatement in our experience. On our visit at least, it would have been nice if they’d turned the lights on, put a little heat into the place and cooked a presentable fish in batter before serving two other tables ahead of us.

Lovely place to stay drink nd eat would definitely recommend

We visited on Tuesday 28th May and the meal we had was a genuine contender for the most unsatisfactory meal i’ve ever had considering the cost. We came as a group of 5. Three of us had starters, I had the chicken in siracha dressing which wasn’t seasoned well, lukewarm and i’m fairly sure was covered in sweet chilli sauce, not siracha. Others had the calamari and scallops and had similar complaints. Two of us had the “award winning” pies which cost £17 each. For that price the quality of the pie was farcical. It had terrible soggy crust and about 3 pieces of meat. The chips did not taste fresh whatsoever either. The roasted vegetables that came with this were inedible - they seemed as if they had been boiled then placed in the oven for 5 minutes. My mum ordered the ribeye steak and was given a what seemed like a low quality rump. As someone who has been cooking steaks for years she knows her stuff. Again the price for the quality was absolutely farcical. When asking the server about this he talked to her in an extremely condescending manner, saying ‘we don’t use rump steaks, I can get the packaging if you’d like’ only to never come back out with the packaging. The rest of the food we had was average at best. I wouldn’t say its far above wetherspoons quality. Moving onto to the service we received, I must say it was quite bad. There was half an hours wait between being served the starters and main courses. The woman serving our food seemed miserable and uninterested and not once were we asked if our food was okay. There was no broccoli in stock for the pies, and when we pointed this out the only compensation we got was one bowl of rancid microwaved peas between 2 people. As I said at the start of the review, I have never felt less satisfied with how I spent mu money. I will never be returning here and urge everyone to avoid this place.

Stayed here for one night on motorcycle tour. Very clean rooms and Pub was good. Staff very pleasant. Shame the food was not of the standard expected.

4 of us enjoyed a Sunday roast dinner. 2.30 pm on a Sunday. Wasn't busy inside as it was a sunny day. Yes we will go back.

Good atmosphere friendly staff nice and clean will be back

Incredible enchanting place! Food delic - Breakfast superb freshly made! Rooms cosy & quiet surrounded by nature- thank you Alison 😄 best stay so far in Coventry! Cu again😊Jasmine

Really nice place, really nice staff, leffe on draft.... winner winner chicken dinner Now lillys Cider on draft👌🏻 When in Rome 🍻

The food and the stay was very nice. The room I stayed was on the top floor. And since the rooms are built counting roof on side of the room sometimes it is inconvenient. The food is great and the prices are reasonable.

Long time for food, many dishes not available. This used to be a good eating pub

Visited The Oak yesterday. My partner ordered a triple roast, noone said anything to us about them running out of meat but he only received turkey. There was also no stuffing or crackling, again noone said. He also then asked for apple sauce and was brought horse radish. I asked for bbq sauce for my meal and none ever arrived. For the price really disappointing. Great I could bring my dogs but terrible food and service overall - were hoping to use this as our local but won’t now. For a drink outside great, but if you want food think about the price and then the honesty and service.

Came here to celebrate the in-laws birthday, had a very nice lunch and a couple of great beers. The place has had a refresh since last there and it's very nice inside, great area for eating, good menu and a nice selection of beers. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend and won't be leaving it so long before another visit.

Stayed two nights in the accommodation attached to the pub. Room was immaculate so a big thank you to Allison who was able to exceed our expectations she also kept us stocked up on our teas and coffees and was also up for a chat about the local area. As for the restaurant the food was lovely and great service. Very good prices (pub and accommodation) will definitely be recommending this establishment to family and friends. Thank you once again for a lovely stay!

First time visit. Great food and service. Plus dog friendly, which is always a bonus!

Impeccable team and the best selection of beers by far . Well done Oak Baginton team .

Dog friendly pub, chilled atmosphere and friendly staff. Nice pub, recommended 👌.

What a brilliant experience. So family and dog friendly. It was so atmospheric. The service was fast and efficient. The staff were friendly and best of all the tables were cleared quickly. My meal was delicious

Pub on the basic side as far as decor goes. Food good. Not a great atmosphere.

Not up to the standard of normal pub food. Table booked for six no table ready. Won't go again

Went with friends for Easter. Unfortunately the service was not good and it wan t very busy when we had food. It was meant to be unlimited roast potatoes but when I went to the bar after we all finished to ask we were told there was none which was disappointing.

Really expensive for what it is! Only 2 veggie options! Which wasn't great. I had the veggie burger and it was rock hard. Puddings came out steaming hot, so hot it burnt your mouth, they were definitely microwaved. Staff were very friendly and it was a nice atmosphere. But in the future ill just go for drinks and not food.Also don't bother buying the cheesy garlic bread! It was basically cheese on toast with garlic butter, £4.50 for cheese on toast, is that some sort of joke?! We all had a good laugh about that. Honestly it was just toasted bread with a tiny bit of cheese on it, that wasn't melted (microwaved probably)

Visit tonight and booked a table for 4. First impressions were that of more dogs than customers, but putting that to one side we were pointed to our table and made our way there by ourselves. Seated and looked at the menu and made a decision on the kids menu for my boys (11 and 8) and choose the garlic cheesy bread for starter, Beef burger, chips and beans. Chicken goujons, mini corn and chips. Mains were 3 cheese and mushrooms on bruschetta, Montgomery Jack Burger with Bacon and slow cooked ribs, including drinks that came to over £80. The place was not busy and from what I saw front of house staff were 5+ and not including kitchen staff. Waited 30 mins for starters and when they came out.. wow Kids starter was a slice of bread with cheese and garlic butter on, Adults starter was again bread.. NOT Bruschetta and a single mushroom on each square and over powered garlic cheese, on all fronts not worth the £20 for 4 slices of bread, cheese and garlic. Mains took another 25 mins after this and again was hoping for something better but disappointed to say not even close. Kids burger bun was rock hard and not edible. Mini corn was just 1 medium piece of normal corn and not cooked well and dry. Adult burger was bland and nothing special and NOT worth £17. The slow cooked rib came out cold and with a layer of grease on top. When I mentioned it was cold to the staff, who not once came over and asked if everything was ok took the meal back to the kitchen to re-heat it.......... I mean to openly say it was going to be reheated and not replace.. POOR. When the staff member came back he admitted it was bad and apologised but the damage was done, we never waited for the kids dessert we went to MacDonald's instead. I will not or ever be recommending The Oak at Baginton and will be leaving as many reviews were I can to reflect this.

Had a lovely meal here, they apologized for being a bit short staffed which happens but the staff were working really hard and the food was superb. Much recommended!!

Really friendly staff, all had a chat with me at the bar. I had one of the nicest pints of Guinness I’ve ever tasted! Lovely pub, restaurant, nice and open. interesting architecture internally.

Went here for Mother's Day. Took a risk as hadn't been here before but we weren't disappointed. The special Mother's Day menu had lots of choice and was very tasty - especially the mushroom bruchetta and the signature stickyicky toffee pudding! We very much enjoyed the top up of yorkshires and roasties! The staff were all very friendly too and it was reasonably priced. The complimentary Mother's Day gift was a lovely surprise and a much appreciated touch - thanks again for giving one to both mums even though we were on the same table! Will definitely go back. I would 100% recommend!

first visit to this place today. welcoming staff.Food served promptly and everything was cooked superbly , already looking forward to our next visit On what was a busy day our whole experience was excellent.Thanks to all of you

We stayed at the Oak for 2 night for Crufts. Rooms were lovely, staff super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious. A lovely couple of days.

Fantastic food run by great management

Celebrating grandsons birthday. Waitress was brilliant...attentive and smiling! Food was delicious......I had the seabass and scallop risotto.....perfect! Great price and will return!

Nice warm and welcoming place but the food takes way too long ordered food and had to wait over a hour to receive just a starter. Staff can come across as quite rude. Wouldn't really recommend.

Food was very disappointing Hunters chicken drowned in a horrible plastic tasting cheese sauce on it. Bit of us felt ill the next day

Lovely open pub with plenty of outside parking. Food and drink is good but overpriced especially when it's not even table service.

Ok for Sunday lunch. Quite expensive but would good again.

Food has gone a little downhill. Been in twice both the food portion size serving was good, but the quality of cooking and attention of the food was poor and the cost wasn't appropriate. Undone food, service was poor and the food was presented different to the menu suggestions.

Stayed there as we had a dog show the hotel room was very spacious as we had five dogs (pomeranians) which we put in pens and we still had enough room to walk around the room instead of having to tip toeing the staff in the pub where very friendly and welcoming food was ok for the price we paid

Came here for a family meal, all decided what we wanted then to be told there was no roast, no gammon along with a few other things too. Luckily we all managed to find something else off the selective menu. Food came, two were slightly wrong, older lady pulled the young girl that served us to the side (you don’t do that in front of customers) Tables were squished together so had to pull the tables out to make more room for everyone. Food was actually quite nice and fresh. Had hunters chicken.. never had the chicken in a bowl of cheesy sauce before, that was new. Personally we eat out quite abit so prices vary from place to place and don’t think they were worth £15 + each meal. Ordered Pepsi / coke which was flat. *disabled toilet / baby change was by the back open door so was really cold inside which wasn’t ideal, poor lighting, no nappy change bin and quite dated.

Went there yesterday with a group of friends, had dinner and was very disappointed. The service was average, not very welcoming, the food was overpriced for what it was and the portion. The failed to tell us when the bought out our food, that they run out of a lot of things, like, gammon, onion rings, strawberries etc, we had to question it and they they simply said, we out. Rooms, very clean, but very small, again overpriced.

beautiful pub in a idilic setting. staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. dog friendly pub with fireplaces. a very country feeling establishment on the outskirts on a busy city. thoroughly recommend.

Very limited vegetarian choise on menu.

Friendly, pleasant and accommodating staff (Thank you Mel) Clean room and space (Thank you Alison)

Had a 3 course meal, starter was cold, main was undercooked and the dessert was scolding hot. Won't bother again.

Dog friendly is great ,lovely people, hot chocolate was colder than I'd like but you can ask for hot as we found out after.

Visited on Christmas Eve with the family. We ordered a range of delicious sharing platters, drank some beer and some wine and a few shots and had a lovely evening. The staff were really friendly and helpful. There was some early confusion about the timing of the booking and when the kitchen closed, but all was resolved on the night. Thank you to all the staff, and thanks for my duck!! We live in France, so it’s always nice to go to a pleasant traditional pub.

Had a lovely time here on Christmas day. The food was good, really good portion size. The staff were incredible, considering it was Christmas day and they were at work they were all so lovely, polite and upbeat.

What was one a fantastic village pub, the meals were great and deals were perfect. Since Stonegate and it’s original manager took over its lost many of its regulars and most of its atmosphere, today on hoping for it to become my regular again, it was ruined by many children running around whose parents cared very little about that or the noise they were making, I get kids will be kids, however parents need to have some control. It wasn’t a very relaxing visit to catch up with friends. Such a shame as the new Management seem nice enough. It may be family friendly but it’s definitely not feeling villager friendly anymore, it will take something amazing for it to be anywhere or anything like it used to be. Stonegate seem to be trying to make it anything but a nice village pub.

Really friendly service when I popped in with my dad for a drink earlier. Manager was very chatty and helpful and the pub itself is lovely. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely service and staff! I recommend it to everyone.

Very smartly furnished, with a good choice on the menu. Worth a visit.

The room was fantastic, very modern and clean. The service and food was very nice but vegetarian options were slightly limited. Highly recommended and thank you!

Nice, cosy venue. Staff were accommodating and attentive. The only thing that let it down was the food was a bit cold when it was brought out.

Called us an hour before our booking and cancelled!

Overall very poor, food was uncooked, stale and what looked to be microwaved. Had a three course meal and did not finish any of the courses. And I can only describe the first course as kfc chicken with mayo squirted on them. After stopping the night in a room where the plugs and the shower door were both broken this being the second room I was put in after the first had not been cleaned. I then dared to have breakfast there the next morning and I was not disappointed. A breakfast where only anything out of a tin or a shell was edible. The service was on par with the food. Overall very disappointing and won’t be coming back.

Love it at the oak, great food and atmosphere

Great stay , accommodation ideal for NECA , food excellent.

I went there with my partner for a meal from their festive menu. I ordered a turkey and gammon pie with roast potatoes Brussels carrots parsnips and broccoli. My partner had fish and chips. My pie was so hard I couldn't cut the pastry had to open the bottom to get the filling out. The Brussels and broccoli were like rubber the parsnips and carrots were jet black not just burnt, cremated. No roast potatoes they were deep fried. The worst meal I've bought in years. My partner didn't like her fish so both meals were left. Our complaints fell on deaf ears I strongly advise others to eat elsewhere

Very nice pub/restaurant. Lovely team of people to look after you. The place has a warm inviting feel to it and you feel that as soon as you go through the front door. The accommodation is good although a little "unwell" the bathroom sealant isn't sticking anymore. The shower cubicle wasn't sealed very well. Holes in the walls and looked tired. However, the bed was very comfortable and clean. The selection of food from the menu is very nice and plenty of choice. The hunters chicken in my opinion is very, very nice! The only let down was the breakfast. The full English had sausages that were mystery bags and extremely cheap. The bacon was fried to its death and the scrambled egg was a watery as a pond. Over all, I would recommend "The Oak" as a place to stay, with a warm friendly welcome and a tasty evening meal. There was one particular gentleman from behind the bar that was extremely helpful with our drinks as they didn't have what we ordered but he came up with an alternative that was wonderful. Plenty of parking in a quiet village. Definitely recommend this place! 👏👏👏

Great dog friendly pub, excellent afternoon tea

The fact I ordered a starter that said it came with bloomer bread, don’t no what’s blooming about the bread it is cheap happy shopper loaf. Absolutely BLOOMING awful. Will not be returning
