Great Oak Beefeater

Service was great from Karen who was very friendly and didn’t make us feel rushed in any way. Food was delicious! I had the steak sampler, BF had the ribeye. All steaks were cooked exactly as we’d asked for and were very tasty. The chunky chips were perfect; crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. Then we finished off with apple pie and custard for me and Cadbury’s crunchier cheesecake for my BF. Mine was very nice, nothing magnificent, but a decent apple pie. BF wasn’t even going to have dessert but couldn’t resist the cheesecake, which was devoured in minutes and was apparently well worth having. And to top it off, they give discount to Blue Light Card holders which is a pleasant bonus!

We had a brilliant meal here with amazing service (thanks Louise!) and excellent food. It was a Friday night so the restaurant was busy but that didn't stop speedy service, with drinks order being taken within 5 minutes of sitting down and food orders taken not long after. We had made a specific request for a quiet table and Louise checked immediately if the table they had allocated was going to be suitable for our son. Food was all excellent and service overall brilliant.

We arrived knowing we were between the breakfast and Lunch menu times but were on a long journey so sitting down for a drink before we ordered lunch was all part of the plan, and we know what to expect from a beefeater. We were met with an attitude from a young female bartender who I can only assume was at the end of a difficult shift, a sharp 'what do you want!?' and a face that looked like it wanted to not me around people made me think we were in for a bad experience. Thankfully the food was as expected, the other staff were delightful. On the whole, pleasant. We won't think twice about stopping here again. Food, was just the Beefeater standard we expected.

Went for a late lunch here today with some family. Service was very good (quick, but not rushed) and each staff member we spoke to was polite, accommodating to whatever we needed and looked generally pleased to be there. They also asked about allergies/intolerances as soon as we arrived. The food was excellent, as we've come to learn from Beefeater. Steaks were cooked exactly as requested and the pulled beef extra on the side of my ribs was something else... Could have had a whole plate of that! Definitely recommend coming here... Will certainly be going back 👍

Normally grab a McDonald's on route to family in Kent but decided to have a proper sit down breakfast at Great Oak instead. What a great decision that was too! Tasty food and plenty of it. My toddler grandson had so much choice of cold and hot selection that he couldn't decide what to eat first and what order to eat it in! Great service from the staff too, friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Obviously the food took a bit longer than a Mac breakfast but actually cost wise there wasnt much difference, especially as grandson was free! Well done Great Oak. Trouble is the wife will expect a great oak breakfast every time we do the same trip now! 🤣

Had a fantastic,tasty,starter and main each at the Great Oak on Saturday.Offer of 2 courses for £15 ! Prawn cocktail followed by rack of ribs that fell off the bone.Considering the rib meal was £17.99 on the menu it was brilliant value.Including a free bottle of wine as we had converted reward points.Our favourite restaurant locally by far.Excellent service and atmosphere too.
