    Great food, solid portions and lovely attentive staff. Food is priced well on the whole - Sunday roast you can request as many bottomless sides as required but you get a healthy amount to start. Question marks over the drinks pricing however, £5.50 for diet cokes is a bit OTT for me!

    Very disappointing visit compared to previous visits before the change in management (which we hadn't been aware of). Very slow service and not advised of lack of specials menu choices until we ordered our food nearly an hour after we arrived. Steaks were OK but the peppercorn sauce was watery and the chips weren't well cooked. The dessert came in a reasonable time but the sticky toffee pudding wasn't hot (almost cold in the middle) and the sauce was very thin/watery. The food prices were high - as they had been under the previous management - but this was no longer 'fine dining' with good service and didn't merit those prices at all. We won't be coming again.

    The service and the meal were superb! The restaurant was very quiet with only a handful of tables for brunch. Staff very attentive and the oysters were excellent.

    A gem of a gastropub. Considering the number of great dining options in the neighbourhood, The White Oak really stands out. Fantastic food: quality and selection was first rate. Excellent friendly service. Good ambiance. Will definitely return. Family and dog friendly.
