The Spade Oak

Kelly the waitress was so helpful and funny. Enjoyed an excellent seabass and sticky toffee pudding! My husband said his dirty burger was very good too.

First time at the ’new‘ Spade Oak, and we had a warm and friendly welcome, introduction to new staff and explanation that some were being trained. The menu had varied, interesting and flexible choices, and food was served hot and all tasted very good. Nice to have a reliable and inviting place to eat in walking distance along the river. A busy restaurant is always a good sign, and we will definitely return.

The area was well spaced out considering the pandemic, the staff were friendly, the wait was reasonable and the food was excellent. Parking was good with a large car park.

This is the 2nd time we’ve been recently, the 1st time the service was slow and questionable. Today the service was lovely, although we weren’t informed of the specials. Our waitress, Bridget was lovely. We will be back.

We were politely received by friendly staff but waited a good half hour from ordering our food before it was discovered that the kitchen had forgotten us. So our main courses were rushed to our table before our starters and they had to be put on one side while our starters were organised. Luckily our main courses were salads and came to no harm. In general the service was friendly but desperately slow all through the meal.
