The Chandos Pub Oakley

Under new ownership. Excellent food and very friendly service. Sunday lunch offered a good variety and was delicious. Highly recommend.

The pub food was satisfactory, but I was disappointed that the "triple cooked chips" I paid extra for tasted like ordinary oven chips from the brand McCain. There was no noticeable difference in quality.

Fab night at the Chandos. Curry night was a great success. Food was fantastic and despite being fully booked the service was 2nd to none. As always Connor, Sean and the team were friendly and welcoming. Would recommend Chandos to anyone.

Curry night was definitely a hit, food was fantastic and the service and hospitality from the new owners is always second to none. I’m glad that we were able to get booked in before it filled up. 10/10 from the team will definitely be back.

The restaurant is always a pleasant place with friendly staff, but I was not impressed with the food. Only receiving 7 mussels as a main dish was disappointing, especially since I don't eat large portions and was still hungry. The staff were all wonderful, but unfortunately, the food was underwhelming.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious and heartwarming. We always have a great experience here. Conor and his team are friendly, welcoming, and fun. The menu changes regularly, so we get to try a variety of dishes. The chef, Sean, is happy to accommodate dietary requirements with advance notice. I highly recommend this place for its food, and it is also a great spot for beer.

Great food, lovely pub, excellent service. Loved our family lunch, everything was absolutely lovely. The small plates menu was extensive, just felt the main course menu could have been expanded to include maybe a chicken, pork or fish dish to cover more dining options. We were able to work around this with mixing up small plates. The mussels liquor over salted personal taste. Not quite 5 stars but good enough for us to want to return. A great village gastro pub with lovely welcoming staff.

I don’t think we’ve ever been to such a warm and friendly pub. Connor is an outstanding host who went way above and beyond to ensure our 5 night birthday get away was something to remember. We loved reading about the pubs history, chatting to the locals and Sean’s Sunday dinner was superb. Connor and Sean only took over the pub 3 months ago but they’re doing a great job. Highly recommended for a quiet drink or a lovely meal. Many thanks for the hilarious conversations on the most trivial of things. FYI it’s a barm!! Hope to see you all again, Karen Dave

Really disappointed after my first visit to The Chandos since the new management has taken over. We went up for some dinner, ordered some drinks and asked for a menu. Only then to be told that it was curry night so no other food was being served and curry night was also sold out. No where on their Facebook page (as website is still under construction) does it say anything about a curry night and needing to prebook nor does it on the sign outside that says the kitchen opening times. Everywhere suggests that the kitchen is just open as normal. I will not be rushing back to eat as I won’t be able to rely on the fact that they will be serving food.
