Oatsheaf - Hart

The restaurant was average. We decided to have lunch there after seeing some local places that looked promising, but unfortunately the food was just average. The staff behind the bar were pleasant and chatty, but when the same person brought us cutlery, she was on the phone and didn't acknowledge us, just placing the cutlery on the table. The food took a while to arrive; I ordered the crispy duck noodle salad and my husband ordered the chicken burger. My salad had very little duck, maybe just 5 small pieces, and the rice noodles were clumped together like they had been microwaved. My husband thought his burger was nice, but for the price we paid, we expected more. The burger was £17.95 and the duck was £17.50. Overall, the meal was just okay, nothing special.

The restaurant offered a good variety of food options and most dishes were of good quality, although the creme brulees were not impressive. Unfortunately, the food was not very hot when it arrived at the table. One dish had a clearly marked allergen on it, but the staff quickly replaced the meal and removed it from the bill. The wait staff were friendly, accommodating, and helpful, however, there were long wait times between courses, despite there being many empty tables. Overall, it seemed like the kitchen staff did not meet the high standards set by the front of house team.

Jess and Callum made our Christmas party of 16 absolutely fantastic! They took care of us from the beginning to the end, fulfilling all of our requests promptly. Despite having a large table of 16, the food was delicious and came out quickly. They even accommodated a few allergies in our party, ensuring that everyone was well taken care of. We highly recommend this place! Thanks to Jess and Callum, our Christmas party was unforgettable!

Terrible management The manager should NOT be behind the bar during the busiest periods. He should not be a manager at all if he prefers to hide away when the staff need his support??? Absolutely shocking behaviour and there no excuse for it. Drinks arrived at our table when the food was delivered….. Staff running around like headless chickens. Nothing is organised but that’s down to the lazy manager. Sort it out

Great night at the Oatsheaf. I would thoroughly recommend. Food and service was excellent! Good selection of beers as well.
