We ordered a selection of tapas from roasted cauliflower, calamari, garlic chilli prawns, lamb chops and the incredible chorizo (you need to order this). Food was delicious and we finished up with desserts, the lemon mouse being our favourite! We had a great experience here and some really good tapas if you’re craving it coming back from those summer holidays. We can’t wait to return for the new menu in October!

I have been coming to the Green Oak for a number of years. I am delighted to confirm that after a period of mediocrity it’s now firmly back in the great category. Regularly meet up with old work colleagues who now seem to favour the Green Oak for our get together. Food is of a good standard consistently, but the real USP is the staff always a different person but always the same outstanding service friendly welcoming warm. Whoever is responsible for interview and selection well done, don’t ever drop your standard it’s what makes the difference.
