I ordered a haddock wild rice biryani however I found it disappointing. It was haddock curry service with rice and a plain Nan. It should have had a coconut Nan and onion salad but there was no salad and the Nan was plain shop bought. The curry was ok but it was not has expected. I did tell the server I wasn’t happy but they just seemed dismissive. I won’t be going again!

Truly traditional English pub, with great atmosphere. Accepts children and dogs. Free parking.Menu interesting but limited in our view but very tasty.Parking: Right next to pub very convenient.Kid-friendliness: Children there when we went.Wheelchair accessibility: Reasonable

Arrived around 5.30pm on a fairly quiet wed evening for a ‘quick’ meal. Ordered 1 peppered steak pie & 1 ‘creamy chicken & leek’ pie fairly quickly. Over an hour later our food arrived, I thought this was a pretty excessive amount of time considering how quiet this large pub was. I cut into my pie to discover it was chicken & veg, including peas which I don’t eat. It was then explained there had been a mix up between the kitchen & front of house & that there was no chicken leek pie tonight! Husband by this time has nearly eaten his meal & I’ve had to order something different. I was told my burger would be 6-7 minutes … husband finished his meal & mine didn’t arrive for nearly 10 minutes after! There was no real apology & no offer of anything off the bill. Very disappointed to say the least. I visit True North pubs pretty regularly & have never experienced this level of service before. Very disappointed & it has spoilt what should have been a pleasant hour or 2 out!

Came here for Christmas Eve lunch and the food was absolutely amazing, best meal I've had in a really long time everything was so flavourful and piping hot. Definitely worth the money we were totally stuffed at the end and such a lovely atmosphere, lovely way to spend Christmas Eve!

Booked a table in the 'tap room area' ad the main restaurant was full. Ordered at the bar which was fine, although the gurl serving us was unable to answer any questions about kids menu. Food took ages to come, and when it did they had forgotten one of the kids peas. I chased this up but they took so long to come the rest of us had finished. Same with condiments, only arriving 10 mins after the food. Food was OK but nothing special, service was poor. I only live round the corner but this reminded me why it had been so long since I last ate here, and why I tend to go to craftworks if wanting a drink locally.

Booked a table this evening with my husband and dog. On arrival having checked earlier that it is dog friendly we presented ourselves at the bar. The bar is an area with a tiled floor. We were then handed menus and told to sit where we wanted down the steps into the "tap" room area. We had booked a table, were not shown to this. No table had reserved on it! Everytime the door opened it was freezing. I had dressed for having a nice relaxing meal and several glasses of wine. DONT offer yourselves as a dog friendly eatery if your not! Now at home British Oak, with a takeaway and a bottle .very disappointing service or lack of it. The British Oak | Booking Confirmation (DMN-16840893209)
We booked in last minute. Ordered the pie roast which was one of the best pies I have had, veg was cooked to perfection and really tasty and good old hendo's to go on our pie. Dessert I had apple and ginger crumble with custard just one word wow!! My husband tasted it has he had one in another pub last week and said it topped that by far. Hubby had sticky toffee pudding, good size portions and very nice. Service excellent.

Went for Sunday lunch and got sat next two stinking, wet dogs, one of which was barking inside, despite half of the pub being empty at the time.Service was a joke. Ended up leaving before the desserts come after waiting too long. We already prompted the staff for the starter and the main.It’s cheap, but won’t bother again.

We went in today for the Sunday lunch as it was a special anniversary, the food was cold, I had to find a waitress she took the food bk to the kitchen 5 mins later she bought the food bk it had been microwaved and was soggy and dry we couldn't eat this as it was awful, we were offered a free drink or dessert but refused this and left.

Beautiful pub with attentive, polite, friendly staff.Sunday lunch was delicious and plentiful, dessert was incredible!Would have given it a full five stars for the food if the roast potatoes had been crispy… but that wasn’t really a issue just a preference.Will definitely be back!
