The Oakhill Inn

Ive given 3 as feel there's so much opportunity and potential here and felt lower would not be fair We've been many times and it's always been super. Some teething issues we were told. I do hope the team can turn this back around. I won't comment on food etc. Until we return to ensure a fair review.

We live locally so visit on/off. The two previous occasions, the food was really good. Nice atmosphere & enjoyable. However, we visited last week & it was not good at all. My son ordered the steak to be told it’s either served pink or well done. He opted for well done but it was awful - he said it tasted “off” & it was smothered in a garlic butter sauce - so only ate his chips. I ordered the chicken & ham pie. It was hard, tasted stale, the seasonal veg was mushy & tasteless & the mashed potato was like playdoh. My husband had a burger which was dripping in grease. Sadly we left there disappointed, still hungry & we won’t be visiting again till either the chef or menu changes.

No ales were available on tap so had to order lager. My wife wanted a medium cooked steak but told this was not an option, if has to be pink or well done! She opted for well done as didn't want it bloody but unfortunately it was then far too overdone for her liking and was salty. I had the chicken and ham pie which was mostly crust and not much meat, I should have read previous reviews! Vegetables, red cabbage and greens very mushy. One star for food and drink boosted to 2 star as the front of house staff were lovely.
