Well I have to say I wasn’t really looking forward to todays meal as never been here and some reviews weren’t great . But as we left it to the last minute it was the only place we could get booked but omg I have to say that was the best meal I have had out in a very long time x the food was fabulous and our waitress Michelle done us proud and got everything spot on x
Thank you the oyster reach I had a lovely lunch out xx and we will definitely be returning
Have to say it was the best steak I've had in a long time!! As for the Mississippi mud pie.........wow!! The service was excellent with very polite staff &, although it was really busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food!! I will definitely coming again & booking our staff Christmas meal here this year!! Thanku x
First time coming and wasn’t disappointed. 5 adult meals all out together without any wrong orders. Food was cooked perfectly. No complaints at all. Desserts where amazing too! Service was good but could have been a bit more attentive. Had to keep flagging staff down if we wanted another drink or to pay our bill. Other then that we had a good experience here and will come again.
Shared a lunchtime meal with friends last week. Downstairs restaurant a little dated in decor and any kind of ambience (maybe needs a little background music) but maybe its better in the evenings? Menu was decent for meat dishes as expected, other choices a little limited. However the food we ordered was very pleasant and staff were attentive and very pleasant. Would likely visit again. Thank you 👍
Popped in for a drink with the partner during our bike ride. Staff were friendly. Seating outside that's perfect for the hot weather. Will be going back soon for lunch.
Came in for breakfast today. Honestly the best. Fast service, perfectly cooked food and really welcoming. Will make sure to recommend and will come back.
Just had our Xmas lunch here and it was excellent. From the initial meet and greet to the food and to us leaving 2 hrs later, everything was faultless. Lunch was absolutely delicious, we could only manage three out of the four courses ( had to take a rain check on the coffee but managed to squeeze in the mint chocolates 😁). Compliments to the chef and kitchen team! The waiting staff were attentive and our courses weren't rushed making our lunch time spent at the Oyster Reach very enjoyable. If Xmas lunch is happening here in 2021 we will definitely be coming. Would highly recommend. Well done !
Staff lovely and friendly, working hard and visiting table often to check if all OK and if need any more drinks. Food arrived quite quickly and what was supposed to be hot, was hot. There were a lot of us. 7, o didn't expect everything to be spot on but it was close. Only a steak over done on a mix grill and the lettuce leaves in a prawn cocktail and a salad were not very good quality, not very tender and were tough. Overall ghough a good meal had by all. As for the atmosphere, not sure if it was the weather(very hot day) or what but I would say the people on other tables were very subdued despite ours enjoying ourselves.
Amazing food, great staff, very clean and a good vibe, I can't fault anything 😋
I enjoyed a lovely Festive Turkey Dinner with my Auntie on Monday 28th November and I couldn't fault the food, service or atmosphere we had a very relaxing experience. I would recommend coming here for their lovely food. Here is a photo of our meals 😋
Excellent lunch, today we tried the two course lunch menu.
The chicken wings and garlic bread were lovely.
We then had upgrade to sirloin steak. Well worth the £1.99 upgrade.
Denise was welcoming as usual and sorted us a table with extra room.
Thank you to Adele and Fiona for excellent lunch.
Three starters and four mains from the lunch menu for under £40 is great value. Potato dippers were the standout, a lighter option to loaded skins, all the taste without the heavy potato.
The rump steaks exceeded expectation, no fatty parts or gristle. Nothing left on the plates at all. Skinny fries loved by the children, triple cooked chips enjoyed by the adults. Salad was fresh, spot on.
Ambience was pleasant, not too busy midweek though enough to have some background buzz. A very good experience.
