    A focus on the incredible wines from Tenute Orestiadi, Sicily. A young company that vinifies the best grapes grown on the island: from the Belìce Valley to the slopes of Mount Etna with the aim of tracing routes that unite the people of the Mediterranean. Known as the crossroads of the Mediterranean and with influences from Italy and Spain but also Arabia and Africa, Sicilian cuisine is a veritable melting pot of flavour. Guests are invited to arrive from 6:30pm for a 7pm start. Due to the group nature of the evening we are unfortunately unable to delay proceedings for late arrivals. To see the menu or for any dietary requirements please contact Andrea on info@thewhiteoak.pub

    An old favourite, wasn’t sure how it would be after takeover by Brucan. Still a lovely venue, though ambience rather spoiled by the fact that we were the only people there for most of a Thursday lunchtime. Service is lovely, and chef adapted a dessert for diabetic requirements. The price has certainly increased but the quality is still high.

    Menu abit limited at the moment and both of us didn’t rate our desserts highly. We both left half as actually didn’t taste very nice which was such a shame. The pigeon was extremely rare, but seeing as I don’t eat pigeon often wasn’t sure if this was how it was supposed to be cooked. I usually have a rare steak so not put off from this, but this was charred on the outside and raw on the inside. Main options limited, their old menu was better.

    The food was good although it could have been warmer. The service was excellent. It was a bit noisy but I accept that this is probably part and parcel of a Sunday lunchtime and I perhaps should have asked for a quieter table at the time of booking which I will do next time. It was impossible to find a parking space in the car park but I discovered a public one not far away so this was fine in the end.

    Excellent Sunday roast - quality cuts of meat and great sides (which are “bottomless”). Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Highly recommended.
