The Oak Inn — Restaurant in Wales

What a little gem! Our friends had told us about The Oak at Guilsfield and said how nice it was and how good the food is.

Well, we went there last night with our friends and everything they had said about it, didn't disapoint in fact it was Damn Good.

Surprisingly there where only two other groups dinning at the same time. I had expected more, but then I guess mid week in a village pub could be a little quite.

I would recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment, especially as we come out of Covid and it gains popularity, especially at the weekend's when I have been reliably informed it gets very busy.

With Covid regulations still in place, we where only waiting outside for a very short time before being warmly welcomed and shown to our table by Jess who then left us to get settled before returning with an extensive menu and to take our drinks order.

Jess or sister (I think) returning with our drinks, poppadoms, fresh water etc. before taking our order.

I had difficulty deciding which meat/fish to have in my meal, Jess (or sister) said that I could mix it up with a little of each if I wanted to and yes I did.

Once our food was cooked, the girls cleared our table, asked if we were ready to eat. They then brought out our food and arranged it ready for us to plate up. It looked delightful and as usual I over ordered for myself, there was loads!

It was so enjoyable that I didn't want to leave any. However the quantity did beat me and I left some rice and chips. Next time I think I will ask for half n half.

Overall this was a splendid night, good company along with good food n drinks in a wonderful environment made special by the staff. I thank them all.

I will most definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending The Oak at Guilsfield to any one.

If you like the traditional village pub, great beers and superb food then this is one place you should visit, especially as it's not to far off the A458 if you're passing...

We had a takeaway this evening …. We’ve had a few from here before and we’ve eaten in there too … Not sure what went wrong tonight as it’s usually ALL 5 star but the Peshwari Naan was very wet inside and fell apart , the rice was very very greasy and the chicken in the Tikka Balti was very grissley . Poppadums were standard but oh my god the pickle tray is absolutely the bare minimum they can give out isn’t it , and it’s not enough for two people for sure .

The veg platter was good , the seafood Silhetey was good but overall it just scraped a 4 out of 5 and my wife only wanted to give it a 3 …. Very disappointed and very surprised too if I’m honest . There’s so much competition nowadays that you have to be careful don’t you . We won’t go there again , like I said … it should have been a 3...

Popped in for a drink on a Saturday afternoon with a couple of friends. Bartender was pleasant, atmosphere was slightly depressing and noticed it was affecting other patrons. Paid for a bottle of Peronni and a small mocha which came to £9! Living in Hampshire even that would be extortionate! Noticed another mature female staff member who was quite rude with a poor attitude. This was also mentioned to me by my friend who had been served by this individual. Atmosphere poor, certain staff member attitude requires improvement and will not be coming back in the near future. A shame considering this was a lovely establishment to go...
