Me and my daughter had lunch at the Oakfield (my daughter is 4) on Monday after our visit to the zoo. We are members and have visited the oakfield before. On this visit we were welcomed by a lovely lady who seated us and gave my daughter some colouring (extra bonus points from my daughter when colouring is involved) A young man came to serve us who was really chatty and didn’t just speak to me he spoke to my daughter aswell. Our Order was taking and the food and drinks arrived really quickly. It was delicious. I had the cod and chips and my daughter had pasta off the kids menu. Overall it was a lovely experience The food is expensive but it’s very fresh and great for a treat

The food was a lovely experience tied in with staying in the Reserve lodges. My little boy said the pizza was 10 out of 10.
