Went back today and can confirm the new management team have made a real difference to the place.
So much more welcoming and food was great.
Can recommend the house salad with buffalo cauliflower wings, classic burger and chocolate fudge cake.
We had soft drinks.
Will definitely be going back again soon!

Arrived 7:45pm on a Wednesday.
Took a while to be served, only to find the Kitchen was closed - not the first time we have been and found this!
They agreed to provide dessert but our first 2 choices were not available.
Ended up with a Rocky Road Sunday where they had to substitute brownie for blood orange brownie. Also sticky toffee pudding which was very stodgy/pasty.
Will not bother trying to go for food again. Such a shame as used to enjoy going here regularly.

This was our first time going to the Oak Apple for food since the new owners took over and we were really impressed. The salad with BBQ cauliflower wings, was the best version of that dish I have ever had! My daughter also really enjoyed her classic burger and chips. The service was also great - the staff were really friendly and incredibly helpful! Great service and great food!

Booked for a family get together of 20 people. Staff were lovely and accommodating before the day and throughout the meal. Everything ran very smoothly and we all had a great time (mix of adults and kids - aged 3-8).
We'll definitely come again.

Love the Oak apple, this is my local pub and I go here all the time with my family and young dog. The staff are always on top form and the beers are lovely. I've eaten here many times and it's great value and great food. Would highly recommend!

My Wife & I stopped here on our way home from Manchester, mostly to use the EV charger nearby. We decided to have food, which did not disappoint. The owners had only taken over that day but that made no difference to the service which was excellent. I'll stop there again when charging & definitely use the pub whilst waiting.

It’s been a while since I’d been in the oak Apple but I have to say the food was good value for money and the service we got from Sim was very good, greeted us with a smile and had the banter to go with it. Will definitely be going there more.

Lovely little pub just located on the roundabout by Spetchley and Whittington road. Been here twice now. Great for a general get together at a pub. Staff are friendly.
Nothing fancy, great for family or friend meetups for a drink and some food. Food was great especially the buttermilk chicken burger with cheese. Definitely stuffed after that order.
Wide range of drinks to choose from. Not bad prices either.

Great pub. Has EV charging (Fast) points, which is why we ended up here.
Decided to grab a burger and chips, which was very nice.
Staff were lovely and friendly. The service was great. It was early lunchtime when we visited, so not very busy, which was lucky as it was a Bank Holiday!
