"Boy has this place gone downhill. It used to be my ‘go to for a special Sunday lunch’ place! Went today with a friend and a 5 year old child and despite the 3 degree temperature they sat us outside in a ‘tent’ sort of structure with a 6” gap between the floor and the start of the thin material that was all there was between us and the elements. Despite a whole load of heaters, it was FREEZING. Grey, pinched faces huddled in their outdoor coats whilst they ate the rapidly cooling food. When it came to the food obviously it wasn’t just space that was an issue. They clearly hadn’t increased their food order but instead just shared the food between more people . If they were hoping for a loaves and fishes event, I’m afraid they will have been disappointed. You might have thought the plates had been prepared by the borrowers, the portion was so small! The spoonful of gravy, didn’t even manage to cover the one, charred roast potato but, when we asked for extra gravy we were charged £1.50 for a tiny pot! What restaurant charges for extra gravy??? We ordered a child’s sausage, mash and peas, but got, sausage mash carrots and broccoli. The child won’t eat vegetables except peas, so that was wasted. The ‘adult’ meals were supposed to come with a bowl of vegetables. Half way through eating we reminded the waitress that we still hadn’t got the vegetables. She said she was sorry, but didn’t bring any. My friend ordered a glass of red wine that, after a reminder, finally turned up as my friend finished her meal. We complained at the end that we hadn’t been given the bowl of vegetables and the child’s meal wasn’t as ordered. The waitress said she was sorry. Clearly greed has replaced quality. Cramming in more people to increase the takings at the expense of comfort and a decent meal. So disappointing."

Have always enjoyed visiting the Oak Tree so went for lunch on Saturday. Was aware the restaurant was under new ownership but was surprised to see the old menu has been replaced. I would normally order the scampi but this wasn’t on the new menu so went with the Parmo which was awful. We will not be returning

Go here regularly. Not aware it has been taken over. Ordered grilled beef and onion pannini with onion gravy. Came on a dry baguette no gravy, masses of awful salad in baguette with a few pieces of beef on top, no onions or gravy. Other orders incorrect. The staff were hovering over us throughout the meal, very off putting. Will be finding somewhere new for our monthly catch up

Read some indifferent reviews but decided to give it a go as the location next to the airport was a key factor, lunch and straight to the airport. This was one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had, really enjoyed it and will visit again, staff were very polite and helpful. We booked a table for 12.20 and were seated upon arrival, it was not really busy at that time but it had filled up by the time we were leaving, as for a table in the main building, but to be fair, the outside seating area may suit others.

Avoid at all costs it’s vile. Nothing at all was enjoyable about our experience tonight. The Parmo looked and tasted as if it was cooked last week and served today the photo from other customers below is exactly what to expect, the chips tastes as if they had been soaked in what can only be described as old stagnant larger. Full of young staff that couldn’t care less, spent the majority of the night stood outside the kitchen doors talking amongst themselves while there was tables waiting to be served and tables that needed clearing. Such a let down when the previous owners made such an effort

Not great. We’ve been here quite a bit since it re opened and with each visit the food has gotten worse this latest visit was the worst food we’ve had so far. Lamb chop starter was truly dreadful, I understand lamb can be fatty but these were 80% fat and white, uncooked, grisly, inedible fat at that. One of us had what was called cheesecake on the menu but it was a weird rubbery consistency and nothing like cheesecake. We did tell our waiter but all we got was a mumbled “sorry” and he just took our plates away and never came back to our table. It’s such a shame as it was quite nice when it originally re opened, wonder why it seems to be going downhill.

I am gutted actually . Firstly the staff were fantastic. Me and my wife went today . She ordered a Sunday lunch well done beef . It came out rare and pink with rotten carrots on it . I ordered a Parmesan which came out microwaved to scalding hot with a very small amount of cheddar cheese scattered in the middle . Both meals came out within minutes of ordering . We had both walked 3 miles to get there to be so let down . We complained . We finished our drinks which cost £11 then we left . I even give them £15 which included a tip . The reason I am putting this on here is not to complain although you ruined our day . It’s to let you know you need to sort your kitchen staff out . The young ladi...

Visited last night for the first time since the Oak Tree was taken over. We usually are regular visitors at the pub, but unfortunately last night was our last visit. Even though the place was busy, we were disappointed in the evening and the changes that had been made. We did not realise the menu had been changed and it has not been changed for the better. Real lack of choice now, and a pretty non-existent childrens menu which has now changed to burgers and chicken wings (which young child can eat chicken wings? Ended up just asking for plain pasta, which was still brought out covered in garlic butter! Adults both had parmesans, which came our extremely greasy, and with terrible chips... thi...

I’m not surprised at the last few reviews as I have just witnessed an absolute shambles of a meal ! Me and my husband use to go here all the time in the summer as the food and people use to be polite ! Brought my mother and sister who lives quite a distance away for lunch my mother found a hair in her food and was disgusted but she was polite about it and told the young waitress who was lovely and apologised and said she would take it of the bill which was fine until the head chef neringa came matching out with an awful attitude and and demanded out 2 children would turn the phones down and that she owned the pub ! Clearly furious my mother found her ginger blonde hair on her food she though...
