I went to Goffs Oak a few weeks before Christmas with a group of friends for a Christmas meal, expecting a festive experience. Unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. We were given the Christmas menu upon arrival and ordered drinks while deciding on our meals amd waiting on friends. However, when we were ready to order, we were then told they had run out of turkey – the main dish associated with a Christmas meal. The pub wasn’t even busy, so it’s baffling how they were out of such a key item. We were surprised and initially thought it was a joke but it wasn't. They could have given us this info as they handed out the menu to set expectations. Then, when we received the bill, a service charge was included, despite the service being lacklustre at best. When I raised my disappointment about the experience with the staff taking the payment, their response was indifferent. They offered a half-hearted “sorry” that clearly lacked sincerity. Staff arent proactive with their service. It's a pub with potential but sadly it was an underwhelming experience. I wouldn’t recommend it for a festive meal.

Out of 5: Value for money 1 Service 1 Meal 1 Atmospher 2 Not the best venue attended for a Sunday lunch, The Gofs Oak would be very low on my list of venues to return to. Service charge removed, out of 7 meals 2 were turned twice for being cold.

Very welcoming pub we stopped off here on a walk for some drinks. Nice open fire. Atmosphere was great! Thankyou

Staff are super friendly and will help you choose something to your taste and spice preference. We always find the food tasty. It's generally a quiet place, which means you can have a good conversation and usually can just walk in without booking ahead. We've been before and I'm sure we will be returning.

Although only given an "as soon as possible" time period, the delivery was made within 20 minutes on what was probably abusy night
