What was once the Royal Oak pub was the beneficiary of a lavish conversion from the team behind The Woodspeen, leaving it as this stunning restaurant. The original premises now act as an entrance into a modern, stylish cocktail bar, then to an understatedly elegant dining room that’s impressive in both size and stature. In the summer, there’s an equally attractive terrace awaiting your arrival. The cooking is based on the finest produce from around the UK, so expect luxury ingredients like Dover sole and chateaubriand to share – all accompanied by a serious wine list.

The Greene Oak’s modern bar has a pleasingly laid-back feel and the quirky horsebox tables on the terrace add something a little different. Menus use the best of the British larder and offer an appealing mix of dishes. The 45-day aged rare breed steaks are a speciality and the weekday lunch menu is a steal.

There’s a degree of opulence to this popular restaurant housed inside a whitewashed building. The striking dark green interior features glitzy rose gold panelling and distinctive tiling, ensuring the dining room feels a little bit special. Modern European dishes make use of effective, well-judged flavour combinations and there’s an assured level of technique in the cooking. Sit in the main room overlooking the fire pit or in the airy conservatory, while the smooth service team look after you with aplomb.
