Although our food was very satisfying we were very disappointed to see the pizzas and feather blade steak had been removed from the menu. ??

A delightful range of dishes with many excellent combinations of ingredients, that are beautifully presented and extremely enjoyable. The menu designers and chefs really have created some fabulous cuisine options. On a number of occasions I have been served by Darcey. A really experienced, first class waitress, who is always alert to customers? needs without being at all intrusive. I do hope her managers will convey my sincere appreciation.

Always the best experience here. Staff are extremely accommodating, food is lovely and an overall wonderful atmosphere. 10/10 one of my favourite restaurants to visit. Even better that it is also dog friendly.

We visited on New Year?s Eve to find that there was a special menu that evening which was £65pp. We asked for the normal menu but were told they were only serving off the limited menu that evening. We were confused as there was no advertisement of the £65pp menu anywhere on the website or within our confirmation email when we booked. The waitress we had dealt with it excellently and we couldn?t fault her friendliness. She explained that others had also complained that on special occasions like Valentine?s Day and New Year?s Eve there were special menus but guests hadn?t been made aware of this in advance. The menu itself was very limited - a 3 course meal with 4 options for the starter, main and dessert, and a drink at midnight (long after we?d have left the restaurant!). Therefore we decided that we would prefer to try to find another restaurant (a bit of a challenge on NYE!). We had paid a £20 deposit but thankfully the manager refunded it. We have had lovely meals at the Four Oaks before so felt disappointed by the false advertising. We were really looking forward to our meal and this put a dampener on our evening. Hopefully nobody else will be stung with the same issue in the future.

Came to the Four Oaks for New Years Eve with my partner and dog and had an amazing time! We had a three course meal and all of the food was delicious. Our server, Darcy, was outstanding, friendly and made our entire evening so enjoyable!

Visted on NYE with my family and was absolutely delighted to have had Maria as our waitress all night. Nothing was too much, the drinks were flowing and even the dogs were cared for! Absolutely 5* experience! We will be back very soon! ???

We came for an early NYE dinner and loved everything!!! Everyone loved the food and cocktails were delicious. Especially, the chocolate espresso martini! Maria was amazing as always, she?s the best!!!! A family favourite for us all!

We absolutely love going to The Four Oaks for different occasions and swear by the Sunday dinner. We decided to go for Christmas as a family of 3, so we booked well in advance. We were booked in for early afternoon and arrived on time and were seated straight away. We ordered our drinks and had preordered our starters, mains and puddings. It was a shame that our expectations of the day weren?t seen. Our starters came out more or less as soon as we sat down. This was before our drinks had arrived. We finished our starters and our drinks came just before the end of these. Our mains were then put down in front of us. The turkey and beef were lovely but the side dishes were not to the usual standard of The Four Oaks. Once we finished our mains, the puddings came straight out. We had hoped for a little time between the main and the puddings but we gave them our best shot. Needless to say we didn?t finish them. The bar area, throughout our time there (approx an hour) was very full and VERY loud. We felt it would have been much better for festive spirit to have closed the bar to the general public whilst people were eating. The price per person felt very hefty for the result of the day. In and out in an hour with no glass of fizz on arrival. It was £100 per adult and £50 per child. Next year we won?t be eating out, we will stay home and cook for ourselves. It?s a shame really as we had high hopes for our Christmas Day!

Building and atmosphere is great fun, but the food was beyond expensive and awful. I?m at a loss as to how they can call themselves a gastro pub! We had the sharing platter for 2 ? goodness it was a size 2 prawn, some jalopenos, a Cumberland sausage and some hummus. It was truly below par. I was actually shocked into writing a review!!

We have been here a couple of times for Sunday lunch and so we jumped at the chance to come for boxing day. We pre ordered from the festive menu which was our first mistake. The Roast Turkey was not the best and a disappointment. There were barely two slices on the plate, Roast potatoes, pig in blanket, the stuffing ball were all massively over cooked and had an air of reheated about them. The sprouts were rock hard and there was hardly any gravy to mention. (Considering we pre ordered this was disappointing.) The Festive Pie lacked veg but otherwise was ok. The staff were excellent and the service was great, It is just a shame that the food did not live up to previous visits.

Popped in after a lovely walk in the park had a few drinks and some food, I couldn?t speak highly enough of our waitress, Eloise. The pub has a lovely atmosphere, and it?s well worth stopping In. Its dog friendly and Eloise our waitress couldn?t have been more accommodating, and helped get some water for our dog

Visited in 22nd Dec. Despite being very busy the service was quick and the food superb. The cocktails were also lovely too.
