Easily the best pub in bracknell. The staff are incredible and people who drink there are the salt of the earth. I’ve just had a very difficult few months caring for a grandparent and they have all been a rock, especially Grace. I’ll very much miss the place and encourage everyone to go support this wonderful place. :)

Have popped in here on a couple of occasions with my partner and children for a drink. Never tried the food, but have heard good things. Really nice pub and nice atmosphere. Lots of outdoor seating available. Friendly staff. My only criticism would be that the outdoor seating area has no fence to stop children/dogs running out into the car park. My toddler will only sit in a high chair for so long and often makes a dash for the car park as soon as he's set free! A fence would certainly put my mind at ease for future trips!

I noticed that an automated tip was added to the bill during our last visit, which I understand is not mandatory and can be removed upon request. While I appreciate that tipping is important for service staff, I feel that this practice puts customers in an awkward position. Many people may feel uncomfortable requesting its removal, especially in a face-to-face situation with the waitstaff. This approach feels unfair, as it seems to take advantage of customers who may not feel empowered to speak up. Additionally, during my visit, the service was noticeably slow, which I believe was due to an apparent shortage of staff (for the entire wing where we were sitting, there were only two waiters). While I understand that managing a restaurant can be challenging, it was clear that there were not enough waiters to handle the number of customers. This led to a frustrating experience, as the wait times for both getting seated, ordering and receiving our food were much longer than expected. The combination of these two issues—automated tipping and understaffing—left me with the impression that the restaurant may be prioritising cost-saving and revenue generating measures over customer satisfaction. The lack of sufficient staff suggests that the business is cutting corners on service, while still benefiting from automatic gratuities, which seems unfair to both customers and the staff who have to work under these conditions. Given this experience, I am unlikely to return to the restaurant in the future, and I wanted to bring this to your attention in the hope that you will consider revisiting your policies and staffing practices to ensure a better experience for your customers.

We had an absolutely lovely time here this evening where the locals were as lovely as the staff. The food was absolutely divine and so reasonable, blown away, like it was from a proper street food vendor, we loved it. After a day visiting Legoland for our little boy's 4th birthday, we called in for food and everyone made such a huge fuss of him, he felt like an absolute boss. Even having a treat brought out especially for him from his friends behind the bar and sweets. Shout out to Biscuit the dog and his Mam - they made such pals. All the way home, he kept saying that he's now got 'cool pub friends'. Thank you all for such a wonderful evening!

Grabbed a quick lunch here with a colleague, wings are good, decent size. Though would be better if they were cooked longer and more off the bone. Overall decent experience.

Wonderful pub Mike runs - such a lovely crowd, always busy, live music (nearly every weekend which is impressive), great dance floor. Always have a great time at the Oak - also they have a great pub quiz! If you are in the area, this is the best pub. Also, drinks are a very fair price, which is rare these days! I see they have a new food partner - lost in sauce, so I will be trying this soon!

Food used to be amazing before and the lamb especially used to be soft and pull apart now it seems they have changed it to lamb cubes that are tough with little flavour. We tried again to see if it was a one off, but seems to be the same. The side dishes seem different also leaving a lot to be desired. Really disappointed as it was our go to Indian. Hopefully it improves, but for now we will look elsewhere.

Highly recommend as they serve the best fish and chips. We live in Farnborough and will only use this fish and chip shop. The batter is gorgeous and light and never greasy. Although it's very busy and the wait can be long , the food is cooked to order so very fresh and always piping hot. Thankyou guys for our take away fish Fridays 🤣

Stopped here because Legoland wanted 40 pounds for a 3 and 7 year old to eat pizza. Best decision made the entire trip. Food was great. Atmosphere was great. Some of the best wings I've had in a long while. If I lived in the area, I'd be here 3x a week.
