The Oakley Arms in South Staffordshire

Brilliant! [But then it is a Brunning & Price] Thanks especially for 'above & beyond' with a special version for my diet.

We visit the Oakley on a fairly regular basis and four of us arrived for our pre-booked Lunch on NYD, as always,Beth & her team were on the ball, a roaring log fire, fast attentive service, beautifully presented and tasty food, what more could you ask for? Vastly better than "average" pub chains for only a modest premium, will we be back? Yep.... we'll be there VERY soon.

We had a great NYE at The Oakley this year. Food was good and the live music fab. Arrived at 7pm which we did wonder might be a bit early but the night went quickly and it was 1 am and time to leave before we knew it! Was busy and lots of dancing and singing with Fatman Alley doing great songs we all knew.

My lovely local! Gorgeous food, amazing staff great atmosphere! Beautiful place.

Always had a lovely time and delicious food when visiting family here

Beautiful pub/restaurant with friendly helpful staff, a nice atmosphere and amazing food.

Came for Christmas dinner with my family (6 of us) food was amazing and the service was also great, thankyou lizzie for making us feel welcome and serving us well. Would highly reccomend coming here for food.

Top notch! Went for my wife's birthday meal tonight! Food exceptional, service very good! Atmosphere nice! It was very busy but didn't have to wait long for our food. Very well priced too! Thanks, highly recommend!!

Visited on a busy Sunday for family Xmas dinner. Service was great the staff worked tirelessly and always had a smile. The food came hot and tasted good. Definitely will visit again.

Lovely venue for special occasions or popping in for a meal, excellence menu choices catering for every taste. Super service, very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

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

Beautiful food. Excellent customer service.

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!!

Beautiful place with delicious food and good vibes.

A truly magical evening. We enjoyed our meal and were then treated to an evening of lovely carol singing by a local choir - delightful !!

A nice pub in a beautiful area located just outside of Brewood. Was there for a meal with friends - delicious Sunday roasts! The pub has plenty of seating area and can be a good choice for large groups. Staff were very friendly. Meal choices for fish lovers are few though. Overall, a very happy visit!

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.

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.

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!

Went for a works Christmas party. It was absolutely packed but we did not have to wait at all. The floor staff were all hard working and polite and the food that came out of the kitchen was excellent. Top marks to the chef, this was one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time.

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!

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.

Food was o.k. but service was really slow.We had to wait an hour for our food and the children were impatient for their food having waited so long.It wasn't easy trying to keep young children five and under entertained for such a long time whilst we waited for our food.It was my birthday meal so wanted all my family to be with us. The cost of the meals were quite high in view of the service and wait.They try to make you order more drinks while you wait for your food. All in all...disappointing...I won't be returning

Always consistent quality and service

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.

A great place to eat and drink.

We always have an excellent dining experience here. Special mention to Blake, behind the bar and everywhere else, it seemed. My husband chose steak, ale & mushroom pie, whilst I had seared fillet of sea bass. Both meals were 5 star and exceptional value for money. It was very busy, but we only waited around 15 minutes to be served - without prior booking. 11/11/2024

Brilliant place to visit with fantastic views in a hidden location, definitely worth many more visits, the service was warm and welcoming which definitely added to our experience, my only negative was I felt the menu was not vegan or vegetarian friendly and seemed a little confusing, but apart from that it's a place most people will enjoy visiting.

Very nice in every way. Lovely outside space

It was lovely went for my son's birthday, will definitely be going back

Lovely service, food and atmopshere.

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.

Was in with a large group of friends that hadn’t seen each other for a long time. The service was good as the food rolled in and we kept talking . Drinks service was a bit sporadic and the final bill was Weins as we wee overcharged fro drinks but all in all a good night .

We were on our way to a conference via Boscobel House, and it was staff there that recommended The Oakley Arms for a coffee (we were eating at the conference centre). Staff were really helpful and the pub is very comfortable. There is plenty of car park space. Lovely warm fire. This place is definitely on our bucket list for a meal next time we are in the area.

The food was decent but the service was horrendous I waited 2 hours just for starters.I was in a rush and was late to go home because I had to go to bed early for a competition

Lovely pub, service can sometimes be a bit hit and miss. However the food more than makes up for it. We have dined on several occasions and never had a bad meal.

My favourite restaurant food is sublime and the customer services excellent

Amazing food. As a Coeliac I've never seen so much choice! Will definitely be back

Great food great service for our 15 year anniversary. Charlotte and Blake really know how to look after people. We will be back to try other great food off the menu. Definitely worth a visit and you will definitely need to book as it gets very busy.

Excellent food, and good choice of drinks. The staff are very friendly and efficient will be returning soon

Lovely location and building, however the lamb and pork Sunday dinner was on the mediocre side and overpriced . Quite bland, wasn’t very warm, didn’t think much of the roast potatoes and the sticky toffee pudding was very bitter, gritty and lacked a the lashings of thick toffee sauce you expect.

Good menu, tasty food and helpful, friendly staff. Strongly recommend.

The service was excellent, very attentive staff. The food was also excellent and very well presented.

Not been at the Oakley Arms before and on first glance it looked good. Nice atmosphere, lovely garden. We ordered drinks and were given a table even though we were 45 mins early for our booking. 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.

Absolutely brilliant service and staff.

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.

Great country pub in beautiful setting. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely fabulous. Can’t wait to come Back. ( which won’t be long). X

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.

Superb Sunday lunch with great food and excellent service!

Had an absolutely amazing Sunday roast, lamb fell off the bone, staff were great.

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.

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!

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.

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

First time visit. Food was good. Relaxed atmosphere. Worth a visit if you want something to eat away from the usual pub grub.

Lovely outdoors seating with the garden and pond in the background

Very nice place for a family celebratory meal. Staff are friendly and attentive. I made a note on my booking that it was my husband’s birthday and at the end of the meal they brought out a plate containing a sweet treat and lit candles. I thought it was lovely.

Recommended. Food delicious, great service, nice atmosphere. Only complaint was that we couldn't sit outside as the weather was drizzly!!!

Lovely place with a nice outdoor area overlooking a pond. Food was tasty but drinks expensive £11.70 for a large wine 😮😮😮

Private buffet lunch (30 people) in the Garden Room for my father's wake. The venue as most have commented is absolutely beautiful. Lots of space / great ambience in the bar areas and on the stunning outdoor terrace overlooking the lake. The property is very characterful and immaculately maintained throughout. I can't comment on dining in the main bar area as this was my first visit, but I can say that the buffet served to us in the Garden Room was outstanding. Everyone commented how good it was. The southern-fried chicken sliders were a particular highlight, but everything else was delicious too. The sandwiches were definitely a cut above the usual buffet fare with generous fillings and garnished with attention to detail, the chips were hot and crispy, the cucumber and feta salad was super-fresh and tasty, the cheddar and chive quiche had buttery pastry and a yummy filling, the chocolate brownies and fruit meringues for dessert were excellent. The main part of the pub was busy with many other diners, so for the kitchen to produce such high-quality food for a private event at the same time was impressive. Couldn't fault it. Although it was a buffet, the service was perfect - really lovely staff, friendly and accommodating. Tea and coffee (a complimentary part of the buffet menu) were kept vigilantly topped up throughout, we ran out of salad towards the end but a request for more was swiftly and courteously dealt with and not charged for. Would not hesitate to recommend The Oakley Arms for a special event, thank you to all involved for helping to make my Dad's send-off a memorable occasion 😊

Amazing food and the Hugo spritz was so refreshing! Beautiful garden Loved the decor

Been here a few times, always pleasant staff, great food & decent real ales, it may be a little drive out, but more than worth it. Booking is advisable

Lovely lunch overlooking the lake in the warm afternoon sun - idyllic

Fantastic experience! Great food, very friendly and helpful staff and a great atmosphere.

I was so disappointed with my recent visit. Upon arrival we were pointed to our seating in the corner of the room and advised that someone would come over and take our order shortly. After waiting 25 mins, we asked if someone could be sent over to take our order. The waitress was very sweet but didn’t know much about the menu and had to ask the chefs about one of the main course choices. The starters arrived promptly but unfortunately 2 of them were wrong and had to be returned. When they eventually arrived, the other 2 people in our party had already finished their starters. After another 45 mins we asked if they had forgotten our main courses and they arrived 15 mins later but unfortunately 1 of the main courses did not arrive and after a further 10 mins it arrived. The standard of the food was OK, although chicken was over cooked and some vegetables were lukewarm. It’s not up to it’s normal standard by any means, hence why we were so disappointed, but looking at some other recent reviews something has changed which is sad as it’s such a lovely place.

Perfect place for a lazy summer evening. Lovely location, good range of drinks and great service. Try the crispy beef salad 🤤

It was very nice friendly place and the food was hot and delicious We will be back love the place xxxx

Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and a good range of drinks. The crispy beef salad is a fave of ours!

The Sunday roast was amazing, everything very nicely cooked, everything flavoursome well well worth it I will most definitely be back for a Sunday meal again soon.

Beautiful venue. Superb drinks selection. 7 real ales available when I visited. Great food, daily menu with good selection of options for all tastes. Childs menu. Duck pond. Service was friendly and attentive. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful pub with a lovely outside seating area, ideal for a nice summer's day. The mixed Sunday roast was superb.

Good choice of food and reasonably priced. Food was tasty and staff were friendly and polite. Nice venue and lots of outdoor seating overlooking the lake. Very nice on a summers day.

On Sunday 21st July we brought a friend to the Oakley for a birthday lunch, she was 95. All the staff need to be commended on the excellent service they provided. A most enjoyable roast meal, and desert made the occasion a special day for our friend. Thank you. Kay

Great food great service as with all Brunning and Price pubs. Perfect.

Where do I start. Having eaten here in the past , as we live in Brewood, we decided on our rare occasion when we are at home together we would go to the oakley for food and drinks. I found the menu somewhat uninspiring but we decided to chose the prawn and squid starter,the roast pork bap, the chilli beef salad, truffle Fries and onion rings. We were both severely disappointed with all of the food. My starter had 2 small prawn and 4 pieces of squid, the beef salad consisted of shredded cabbage, sliced pepper, onion , cashew nuts., topped with a small amount of beef ...this does not constitute a salad, it was dry , contained no salad items such as lettuce, tomato, cucumber etc...in fact it felt like a bowl of uncooked stir-fry ingredients from a packet rather than salad. The fries were a small portion of chips with grated parmesan and the onion rings just pure batter with very little onion inside. The only half edible item was the pork bap which came with half a packet of crisps. Our bill was £75 for the 2 of us, which I would pay all day long for good food but this was absolutely not worth the money. This experience was all the more disappointing for myself as I was a head chef for 21 years ,owning my own restaurant and I am now a private chef onboard a private airline .Both my partner and I are extremely well travelled have eaten in some of the best establishments therefore we expect a certain level of cuisine, which we have had I the past at the Oakley......such a shame, what has happened to this place...won't be eating here again

The weather was lovely. The setting was amazing as we sat overlooking the lake watching the wildlife. The food was good. What's not to like.... as you relax in a little pocket of Staffordshire paradise just 5 mins+ off the M6

I mean, the sun helped too, but beautiful weather aside, the staff were friendly, the range of beers, ales, lagers and ciders was good. The food was really lovely. We had the fish and chips, the batter was light and crispy, the chips were proper chunky chips and cooked to perfection. Hubby had the burger. He said it was well cooked and tasty. I had the blackened salmon with salad and coconut rice. It was truly divine, very tasty, and beautifully presented. We had a lovely afternoon and we're very well looked after by the friendly staff. Big thumbs up from me ❤️

Fab. Lovely food. Lovely atmosphere 👌

Spot on. Brilliant food, good service. A really good place for a meal. You have to visit.

Food was good and service was fast. Emily was really brilliant and helpful.

My husband, friends and I have eaten at Oakley Arms often over the years. Today, for the first time, I personally was very disappointed. I ordered my ever favourite, fish and chips. The fish was so thin, I hardley found any within the over fried batter. My husband's was slightly better! As the waitress came to clear our table I made her aware of my disappointment. Her comment was "I will pass your comments to our chef". No further comment/apology was given. Not what I would ecpect from Oakley Arms.

Fabulous food, great personable service, nowhere nicer to be on a sunny evening and the dog loved it too.

Fantastic food, amazing choices on the menu and a lovely atmosphere, thank you to Charlotte and Molly for great service

Been here a few times ,always the same experience........perfect.. nothing is too much trouble... didn't have cheese and biscuits on the menu .. but still managed to bring a small selection of cheeses out .. thanks .. see you soon

Place, food and environment is lovely inside pub the outside area is beautiful but be aware we had our car broke into and was told it's a regular thing there at the moment, luckily they got disturbed with ours but night before they managed to steal a car and week before, it was also Broad daylight!!

We have visited here many times before as the setting is simply stunning! It was a hot Sunday, which was forecast and both inside and outside were busy. We had booked a table for 8. The food was good for some dishes and ok for others. The quiche was meant to have a grape salad but it wasn’t served with this. It also didn’t say it was served with potato salad so had ordered chips. Bits of information like this should just be clearer. Our biggest issue was the slow service. Drinks took ages. Had to ask to order more. All the glasses left on the table. No one checked how the food was. All just basics things to be honest. There seemed to be plenty of staff, perhaps inexperienced? Having a bit more of a radar of your customers would be good. It’s not a cheap place to visit so things just need to be tighter otherwise people won’t return. A lot of competition in the area.

Exceptional and unique characterful location with a relaxed atmosphere. Service friendly and well timed but not overbearing. Immediately asked about dietary requirements and drinks delivered quickly. No long wait and not rushed either. Food was perfect. Tasted as wonderful as the presentation Fantastic experience and will definitely return and highly recommend

Oh dear… what a disaster. Firstly we have eaten here before and always had a great experience. But… tonight we went for our son's 22nd birthday and sadly this was far from our previous visits. Seated just after 6:30… waited over 30 minutes for drinks (ouch on a Friday). An hour passed before our starters arrived… which were lovely, but then another hour passed and we were still waiting for our main course. We weren’t alone, everyone around us were shuffling in their seats waiting for some kind of service. The customer facing team absolutely tried to do their best, but couldn’t hide their own embarrassment at the service and delays. We heard them explain to other tables on the delays, a chef down and too many tables yada yada . If it had been explained at the start of evening you would accept it or decide to leave. We know they still were taking in walk ins, who were actually served and fed before us. They were massively apologetic, but come on - you are better than this. We decided to leave but we were given vouchers, and didn’t charge us for starters ✔️that was a nice touch - but we had to divert to the chippy back in Codsall ( which was awesome - thanks Andy). I'm certain we would have loved the much anticipated food, I hope next time we can get the right kind of experience.

Great food, great service, stunning location, loved it!

Beautiful setting ..was told menu was changed daily but as far as we could all understand this isn’t the case Service was slow ..only one chap serving so not his fault ..waited ages for a top up of drink had to go to the bar myself to chase it ..food was ok but didn’t feel it was any better than a lot of places we have eaten at .

Great place but drinks a bit pricey

Visited with the family on Sunday 23rd. We received such a warm welcome from the team and were promptly seated. Although the experience could have been spoiled by the numerous power cuts on the afternoon the managers kept us in the loop and reacted positively to ensure we left happy. Food was delicious, service first class and the building and gardens are beautiful. Can’t wait to come back again!!

It’s such a shame as most of the staff were so friendly and the venue is beautiful. But unfortunately it’s was pretty shambolic! It took us too long to be seated, we had to ask to have our orders taken. We had to ask for drinks, we had to ask for used glasses to be taken away, the food took so long, we almost left! Then it was so chaotic to then pay! I know on the particular day they had issues with the power but surly a venue of this size and with the footfall they have continually they should have a backup plan! The waitresses we so so friendly but there was no one overseeing everything or giving any direction it seems to us. My poor mother in law was so excited to take her family out and even visited the day before but it was just not good, these things spoilt the experience and we won’t be back. Ever!

Poor service 1st time here may revisit
