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 .

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! Can’t fault any of it. Had 2 small babies with us and service was great, food was incredible. Great drinks on too - good variety.

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.

Came for Sunday lunch with my family, was extremely busy and we were sat opposite the bar, we ordered the beef dinner and the pork and the portions were beyond our expectations! Beautiful food friendly staff and I will definitely return.

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.

Beautiful pub in a fabulous location.
Clean and cosy pub that have blankets at the ready if you are feeling the chill (love this)
Not much of a wait for our meals and they were lovely!! We have no space for dessert unfortunately
They have a little pond outside with some ducks, landscape is just lovely to look at.
Will definitely be returning

A lovely pub in a beautiful setting. Staff always very helpful and friendly. Food very tasty.
Only criticism is that as with most things these days, price has gone up and amount you get seems less.

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 🤍
