The food tasted great but a bit more attention to detail would make a big difference…. I ordered a sirloin steak fries on the side. it came rare as I’d asked…. Placed on a plate with a well dressed green salad. I asked where the mushrooms were 🤷‍♂️the lovely waiter took it back to the kitchen and on returning announced there was a flat field mushroom hidden under the stake! It was served with a hollandaise sauce but said peppercorn sauce on the menu… they did bring the correct sauce on request and gave me a free pint of beer. I think the plate looked a bit empty…. A few roasted tomatoes, maybe a little slaw would have made it a bit more colourful and pleasing into the eye. The chef can clearly cook and I will return…. Ps… a bit of a facelift or a theme would give it so much more atmosphere….

We had an excellent lunch at The White Oak. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The food was splendid, with compliments to the chef. In view of this, it seems churlish to flag the following. Hopefully, the comments will prove helpful to the management. 1) why does The White Oak charge the full £27 for the two course set lunch, when those items chosen do not meet this £27 threshold? In short, we are paying over and above the menu prices, if itemised separately. b) why no calories shown on the menu? We had thought this to be a legal requirement. c) why no main course salad(s) on the menu? There were a selection under the previous management, and not everyone wants to eat a "heavy" meal at lunchtime! Do please consider a salad(s) option. Despite our quibbles, we would happily come again, though the seating pods in the garden are something of an eyesore and the area was so much nicer without them!!

Good food, friendly service nicely paced - we will be back

Great food apart from the desert which was very dry....main course of salmon and roasted new potatoes was very good. Service was awful and we refused to pay the service charge. We have been coming for years so very disappointing.

Really love the new starters. If you like seafood try the Calamari! The tagliare is also well worth a try. For meat lovers jump on the Vesuvio and veggie lovers the Doganieri is unique and special. When the sun is shining much more than just a pizza place. Excellent!
