The service and the meal were superb! The restaurant was very quiet with only a handful of tables for brunch. Staff very attentive and the oysters were excellent.

A gem of a gastropub. Considering the number of great dining options in the neighbourhood, The White Oak really stands out. Fantastic food: quality and selection was first rate. Excellent friendly service. Good ambiance. Will definitely return. Family and dog friendly.

Amazing food at The White Oak, a nicely refurnished pub, only lacking a roaring fire on a freezing cold night. The main fish fish was sublime and the chocolate mousse was perfectly balanced and flavoured. Really friendly and attentive service topped it off; we’ll definitely be back!

The service really let down our lunch today. We never received our starters and there was no apology about this. The staff were just not on the ball. The mains were ok. There were a few cold elements which should have been warm to accompany hot food. Overall very average.
