Awful had chicken ceaser salad 17.95 for 4 gem lettuce leaves horrible cut up chicken breast with fat on and the cheese and bacon was underneath it all! Where was the rest of the salad? Worst I've ever had and way over priced for that! No Mocktails only 0% alcohol drink they had was a tanquarey!!! Service awful man behind bar rude when asked about cocktails. Long wait for awful food and the waiters didn't even bring the food to our table looking around had to call them over!! Nicest thing about the pub is the scenery. Won't be going back.

We loved meeting for a family supper at the Oakley Arms. Staff we great and the food was delicious. We had a mix of tapas and smaller plates. The beer was great. The staff were lovely and friendly with our cocker spaniel and treats and water, and well as sturdy clips outside were all provided. Beautiful setting and thoroughly recommended.

We had a celebration of life for my father at The Oakley Arms. With a booking for 100 there was space to move around in a super venue. We received excellent service from the point of booking to the event itself. We were treated with the utmost care and respect and nothing was too much trouble. Blake and his team are an exemplary example of outstanding customer service. Thank you.

Booked for our anniversary. Our table must be the worst table 1 in the building asked if there was anouther 1 was told no sorry. Halfway through our main.meal a party group of about 20 adults an so many kiddies over took the bar area I mean took over actually knocking my husband's chair an brushing his shoulders 1 crappie spilled some of his full point just missing my husband coat on back of his chair they were very loud . in actual fact they weren't at fault it's the Oakley s fault for putting us on a table in front of bar area when they knew that there was a party of around 20 they were there for about 15 /20 mins greeting each other as they came in and buying rounds of drinks. What we should have done was get up and walk out . Totally spoiled our evening

Went for my husbands and his twin sisters 70th birthday , so a very special occasion. The Oakley is an amazing restaurant that has a really good atmosphere, we booked a table for 12 and everyone agreed the food was amazing . I have to be really honest the service wasn't the best a little disappointing for such a special occasion . BUT having spoke to the lovely manager (Beth)she was so helpful and very understanding and did compensate which we were not expecting at all !! so thank you . It really puts your faith in the caring side of hospitality which is rare in these days . So hasten to say we will be returning very very soon .

me and my partner booked a table for valentines day, and unfortunately, were very disappointed, we were sat next to the fire, however, it was not lit. Even though the restaurant was not busy the service was very slow, there was a long wait to be spoken to, a long wait for drinks and even longer wait for food, we have been here on busier days and got better service and served a lot quicker, the food has increased in price but decreased in portion size and quality, whicg is a shame as me and my partner really enjoy dining at the Oakley arms, my side order of buttered veg was not buttered and was sat in a puddle of water at the bottom of the bowl which was very disappointing. My partner could not enjoy his meal straight away as the server had not brought him a steak knife for his steak and when asked they could not find one in the kitchen so had to search for one, the onion rings tasted of oil and undercooked. A male server was having a conversation with the table next to us and we assumed they were his friends as they were talking about going out and getting drunk and using inappropriate language which also ruined the atmosphere of the evening for us. We were not asked if we would like any other drinks after we had finished our first ones even though we had empty glasses on our table which remained on the table until we left, the waitress did ask us about dessert but took a while to return to the table to take our order, overall, it was a very disappointing evening, which was a first for us at the oakley arms, we normally recommend this place to friends and family but will not be doing that this time around.

Lovely big country pub with log fires, quirky decor and pretentious servers.. you know the sort. Roasts were ok, meats and greens particularly, however, our potatoes were hard and the sides we ordered were not worth the price. A friend dining with us was not impressed with their burger and so with all that considered I would not return.

A second visit and a poor experience after the previous visit we made just before Christmas. We were recommend this pub because it was dog friendly, I accept that we should have booked in advance but as we had not done so on a previous visit we did not think that we would need to. Previously the staff made every effort to make us and the dogs welcome but on this visit we were curtly told that there were no tables available for people with dogs and no effort was made to let us know when a table might become available. The service was cursory and borderline rude, I ordered a Guinness Zero, being a non-drinker and a wine for my wife, I didn’t see the can and I strongly suspect that I was given the original Guinness, the cans hold less than a pint yet I realised that I had a full pint. The environment is very pleasant but the poor service lets it down. We left without finishing our drinks and found a very decent curry house for a takeaway. We won’t be returning.

We had a meal here the day before our wedding at a local wedding venue. We had written to the manager a few months prior asking if we could book quite a large table as we'd have about 18 of us. The pub is absolutely beautiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful, they seated us in our own area of the pub so that we'd be away from other guests. The food was phenomenal, I don't think there were any empty plates! My only slight criticism would be the time it took for the entire meal, I think we spent about 2.5 hours in total and we did seem to wait quite awhile between courses, but we had a large table so I imagine it was to ensure all food came out together. I would absolutely recommend this pub to anyone and all our friends and family said what a gorgeous pub it was. Thanks to all the staff at The Oakley arms for making our night before our wedding extra special 🤍

The Sunday before Christmas, six of us for lunch. The whole experience from arrival to departure was perfect. We always have a family get together near Christmas and this year we chose The Oakley Arms. It was so busy, the staff were IMO really under pressure and yet remained calm, friendly with beaming smiles. The food was excellent as was the service. The atmosphere was really buzzing, lots of families all doing similar to us… celebrating and catching up over good food and drinks. A big Thankyou to team Oakley much appreciated

We recently visited the Oakley Arms for a Sunday roast. The food, atmosphere, and decor were wonderful. The only issue was that my order was mixed up, probably my southern accent! But to their credit, the kitchen rectified this quickly, and it was without doubt one of the best roasts I've ever had! The staff were lovely, and I loved our waitresses' grinch t shirt!!

Edit: just looked at some of the pictures of the lamb others have posted, and this was FAR from what they tried to con me with. Wish I'd take a picture of this shower, but I would have been embarrassed to have it in my gallery. Avoid if you want decent food or service. The Xmas menu has most the same stuff from the main menu BUT the exact same items cost 2-4quid more on the set price Xmas special deal menu, than just ordering the same from the main menu separately, depending on what you go for. Anyway, went for the lamb shoulder, minted new potatoes, seasonal veg etc. ok so got told no new potatoes, so I could have roasts or mash. Chose roasts, no probs. £25, so was expecting a good meal. Took 45mins to get food. The lamb came, the 4 roasts were dry and hours old, the "seasonal veg" was what seemed like microwaved swede mash, and cabbage - the sort of pre-prepped thing you get from Morrisons. And the lamb was full of sinew, again very much like the stuff you get in vaccumn bags for Mozzers, all just dumped on the plate. Honestly if this had been 15 quid then ok, tasteless disappointing food, but at least some kind of value. But £25??? Joke. Took it back to the bar and they looked at me like I'd got two heads and said to me, 'that's what the lamb is like'. Said theyd change it for what else i fancied, no apology or owt. so I went for the burger. Burger was nice but just came with firm, dry old french fries, and nothing else - no side salad, coleslaw blah blah for 17.50. Well if you wanna pay 25 quid for canteen food, then fine, or 18 just for a burger and old, thrown on the plate fries, then go for it. And then they tried to keep the lamb on the bill too! Oh and enjoy the ages wait to get it as well. One of the worst meals for years, but at premium prices. They gave out vouchers to everyone at the end as part of promo, could win up to free meal for whole table - wouldn't even go back if we won top prize and didn't have to pay. Funny thing is, that by trying to fob off canteen food as premium pub food they: Lost £25 for the pathetic lamb dish Forgot to add the £18 extra burger Took off a round of drinks, so about £30 So they lost over £70 - for trying to pull a fast one.

We visited on a Saturday for a family meal before Christmas and left disappointed. The service was slow, we had to ask 3 times for water on the table. The servers were young and seemed inexperienced, not the best service. One meal came out cold and had to be sent back for another go in the microwave. The other three meals were fine, however plates were stone cold. We have been before and had a better experience but I wouldn't rush to go back, would rather pay a bit more and have a meal at Lester's Arms down the road, much better.

Visited late afternoon today 15th Dec for a family Christmas meal. Went to order off Christmas menu, NO TURKEY, two ended up with sausage and mash Christmas meal!! No Christmas pudding as we had to order off regular menu. The staff waiting on tables very miserable, obviously didn't want to be there, never asked if meals ok etc, had to keep asking them for drinks, desert menu etc, certainly in wrong job. We are regular customers, but will think twice before booking again. A lot of money for a poor meal and miserable service!!

Booked The Oakley Arms for a pre-Christmas family meal for 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. Both my parents wanted the Turkey but there was none left! My dad ended up having sausage and mash with chewy cabbage which he couldn't eat. There were loads of staff but all looked pretty fed up to be working! Not much festive cheer here today!

A bigger than expected beautiful country pub with a garden, patio, and pond area with ducks. Good sized carpark inside has real log fires in a beautiful country cottage setting. We visited for a work Christmas meal unfortunately non of my pre ordered menu options were avaliable and I only found out on arrival. This was really disappointing and I missed out on a starter with the rest of the large party. In future it would be helpful to let the booker know there is an issue before and not when everyone arrives to sit down. I chose lamb as a substitute which was lovely but was not happy non of the 3 courses was available. The meals had good portions, the lamb was beautifully cooked and full of flavour. The bar has a good selection of beers but we were disappointed no cocktails were avaliable althought the top shelf options were there. It would be great if the bar staff could make a few of the basics. The 10% alcohol pre made mixes in small bottles dont compare. A lovely cosy countryside pub for winter or beautiful spot for summer. I would recommend a visit.

I visited for lunch with my partner. I didn’t like my mains so my partner tried to eat some it before realising he also really didn’t like it. The lovely gentleman who serves us, James came back to check if our mains were okay and when I raised my concerns about my meal, he was so polite and understanding. He offered me another meal off the menu and while I refused because my partner had already eaten off it, the fact that he offered was just amazing! The customer service was great and the ambience festive too. They quickly turned a not so great experience into a better one and I cannot fault this business at all! Thanks James!

Great pub, with lovely location and wonderful staff, but they are terrible at answering their phone, these days. I know there is a meal booking system on their website, but I would imagine that some people would still rather book by phone (if they have a special request for example) and it's virtually impossible to do that, at the moment. I tried ringing them at various times on 3 separate days this week and the phone just rings and rings. It took me 18 (YES, EIGHTEEN) attempts to get through. I wonder how many people are put off by this and how much business The Oakley is losing as a result. Such a shame, because it's a great pub, run by lovely people.

Went for Sunday lunch early evening, it was busy but unfortunately my meal of roast beef was just warm, we had ordered drinks I had a glass of Prosecco which was flat it had a slice of orange in it which I took out as this had made it taste awful. We also ordered a bottle of red wine which came after we had our meal. I did inform the waitress which her reply was we will take your comments on board we paid £85 for the meal and drinks for 2. We will not be returning even though we have been a few times in the past.

Visited today with my mom to treat her for what should have been a nice meal for the two of us. When we arrived no one acknowledged us for around 10-15 mins so we asked at the bar for a table and were finally seated. We ordered two lamb dinners and only one had arrived 45 minutes later (a long wait time for a Monday). We couldn’t get hold of any staff members to ask about my mom’s dinner as we couldn’t see anyone around except for a busy lady serving a crowd of people at the bar. Eventually after I had finished eating my dinner, we managed to ask the lady at the bar where my moms food was to which she was very unhelpful and replied only one had been ordered (and seemed to have blamed us for the mistake). She wasn’t very apologetic and advised there was no one else I could speak to about the situation. She spoke with the lady who had served us and she admitted she had forgotten to add the second dinner on as she was new. We weren’t very happy with how the original lady at the bar had handled the situation, especially when you are paying almost £30 for a single roast dinner and glass of juice! She eventually gave us tickets for a free meal next time (only valid on a Monday-Thursday) and I still paid full price for the meal I had eaten on my own (£28 for just one meal and juice). Very disappointing experience, my mom was so excited to try this place and they really let us down! Poor service and long waiting times, wouldn’t recommend or visit again.

The drinks came and we were asked if we were ready to order. We asked for five more minutes and then got completely forgotten for the rest of the afternoon. Whatever we wanted we had to go looking for someone in order to ask and in all honesty it didn’t seem that busy. Lots of young staff bumbling around but nothing getting done. Not set area for staff so had about five waiters/waitresses looking after us. The food was average at best. My steak burger was cooked how they felt with way too much cheese and a smattering of fries. Food served without cutlery, same with desserts. Mains plates still on the table when dessert arrived. No one asked if anything was ok or if we enjoyed the food at the end of the afternoon. All round very poor. Not a place I will return to or would recommend.

We are returning diners, pre-booked as we have previously formed the impression that walk-ins aren't encouraged, just the two of us, drinks ordered at the bar, straightforward ordering of our starters and mains when seated at a nice table in the main bar area, enjoyed all of our food. Discovered that the area we were seated in was dog friendly, vile behaviour by neighbouring table with dachshund on their lap and effectively seated it to sniff plates at the table, ask to be away from the doggie area if that disgusts you. Experience tainted by the card payment machine inviting us to leave a tip.

Went lunch time on a Thursday; very quiet, hence only 3 for atmosphere. Food and service as exemplary as always.

When we came in, we wanted to spend some time in the bar but were hastily rushed through. This was sad because the place wasn’t busy and made the experience start off on the wrong note.

I came here with my work colleagues for a celebration lunch and it was most definitely worth the trip from the office. The food was delicious, service was prompt and efficient and the staff were all very welcoming and kind. I have already started telling family and friends about this place as I highly recommend it.

We are frequent visitors to The Oakley. Food was lovely as always. However, there wasn't much vegetarian/vegan choice this time, which has never been an issue before, limiting what some of our part could eat. That said, it will NEVER stop us eating here as we cannot fault the lovely staff & especially how accommodating they are for those with dogs - a top priority for us.

The Oakley Arms is a delightful pub nestled in the countryside. We opted for the outdoor seating, and it was a fantastic choice. The outside space is wonderful, filled with families and kids having a blast. The food? Absolutely excellent – we were thoroughly impressed. We’ll definitely be returning soon. Highly recommend it!

Stopped off here after a recommendation. We arrived and the car park which was fairly busy however still plenty of spaces available. I came here with my family. When I entered the pub there were a number of empty tables throughout. I decided to order some drinks while the rest of the family looked over the menu. The bar staff member’s tone was extremely rude to me telling me they were extremely busy and the tables were reserved so we could not sit at any empty table. If they were so busy why was there only one member of staff serving at the bar and one person waiting for drinks at the bar? no queue for the bar, I felt like the bar staff looked down their nose at me as if I’m not good enough to be served in the establishment. I was extremely disappointed with the way I was dealt with I would not return or recommend. The red lion/staffordshire grill is only a short drive away and a much more pleasant welcome.

Great food, amazing service. Fantastic gluten free options, and brilliant awareness of cross contamination with a dedicated gluten free fridge.

Huge pub restaurant venue with lots of outdoor seating overlooking a large pond. Excellent food and friendly helpful staff. Coped with our vegan requests! Good for Sunday roasts (Inc vegan nut loaf). Other dishes served too.

Went to see my sons band, Lawman's Legacy, got to the top of the stairs to be met with a really quirky room with leather Chesterfields and lampshades with different coloured light bulbs and a really nice relaxed vibe. With a professional looking stage located over the stairs. Great atmosphere with nice people. The young guy behind the bar was a credit to Claptrap, very friendly and jovial. We had a great night and will visit again. To cap it all off Lawman's Legacy went down a storm to an appreciative supporting audience. Thanks All.

Went for drinks with 2 friends. Walked in and were greeted by whom I presume was the land lady. She was rude and as we tried to order drinks said she remembered us from before and we were trouble makers who had given the pub a bad name. We are 3 people in our 40's, 50's and 70's and went for a very quiet drink. After being completely dismayed by our bizarre greeting we opted to go to the Vine next door. To add ive only been to the Old Bush once before at lunch time with my mother in law for a cob. We will never frequent the Old Brush again. I can't believe they have any customers the way that the land lady treats people. By looking at other reviews I'm not the only one to think this. If you want good customer service I would stay away.
