I originally came to find out if the Liverpool vs man united game was on. The lady I was speaking to didnāt really understand what I was saying, because she was Spanish I think. I saw someone in there I knew, so I asked them & thankfully the game was going to be on. I left after that.
I came back an hour later (4:30pm) to watch the biggest game in English Football. My plan was to get something to eat at Half Time. I sat and watched the first half with others sat around me backing both clubs respectfully. People were chatting away discussing the match and personal matters and I just sat there fixated on the game. Once half time arrived, I approached the bar and asked if the kitchen was open. This person understood me thankfully, but unthankfully, they remarked the kitchen was closed. I decided to get myself a Pepsi instead. As she used the pump, I ensured she was to use the full fat Pepsi, as at previous times, Iāve received Pepsi max. After me asking, āare you using full fat?ā She replied,āIām a mum and we donāt get things wrong?ā I chuckled as she handed me my drink and I then took my seat to prepare for the second half. I also treated myself to some dry roasted nuts, as the kitchen was closed. I decided to make conversation with a spectator of the match and asked him who he was supporting. Of course he said Man United, as theyāre the biggest club in England, like myself. We discussed the team, in regards to who should play, leave, tactics e.t.c. I found him really interesting. I chose the sit with him for the second half.
By full time, my bag of nuts were almost empty. I was kind enough to share them with the new buddy I met, which I really liked! The game ended 0-0 and I was thoroughly satisfied as I knew it was going to be a really difficult game away to our biggest rivals who were top of the league. The other united fan however, was discontent with how we played out with the ball, which I understood. Countless times we couldnāt keep the ball for more than 5 passes, however we defended excellently well and limited Liverpool to half chances. He was nice enough to buy me a drink, but he got Pepsi max š. I was nice enough to drink it though and I was grateful, as there not enough nice people out there. We discussed more football, and we ended up adding each other on Facebook. He shook my hand and said, āit was nice to meet you.ā He then left. I left not long after that and really enjoyed my time there, in terms of service, atmosphere, the reception and the drinks and nuts. Speaking of the service, the new bartender did approach me towards the end of the second half, whilst I was fixated on the game to tell me the kitchen was open again. The timing couldnāt of possibly been worse, but it was nice of her to...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe were a party of 17. We were given the function room, which was perfect. The negatives were ....we ordered starters, which sadly came out at the same time as the main and actually 2 of the starters, came out at the very end once 2 of our guests had already eaten their main. The curry was quite watery, and the nan bread was tough and a little dry. The cheese wasn't melted on the cheesy chips, and the service was a little sporadic and took quite a while, we then had to clear our own tables, putting the plates onto other tables so we could cut and serve a birthday cake that we had brought. All of that said, PLEASE DON'T let any of that put you off going. The staff were incredibly attentive and honestly couldn't do enough for us if we asked. The fish was probably the best fish I and one other guest had ever had. It was absolutely faultless. There were also no complaints from other meals, the burgers, the scampi, the steak, etc. Despite my negatives, I would recommend anyone to try The Burnt Oak. I can't reiterate enough how lovely the staff were, and on reflection, my negatives weren't the end of the world. We were a large party, having a lovely time. I would...
