"I’m disappointed to have to write a poor review of this lovely venue, however, I feel I must share our experience. We were there as a group of six for brunch on Sunday. The venue was relatively empty on this occasion, but service was still...very poor. Everything took an age and getting staffs attention was difficult. After our drinks came, consisting of, amongst others, 3 lattes, all of which were different, and ‘fresh’ orange juice which tasted suspiciously watered down, we ordered our breakfasts. After an age, the breakfasts arrived. 3 of the six were wrong. Missing tomatoes, missing hollandaise sauce, missing sausages. We were left to sort out some of the issues ourselves by swapping food from plate to plate and had to wait for other food to come out. There was no apology from the server who I presume was the manageress? She merely remarked that she had ‘not yet had a coffee’ that morning and came up with a **** and bull story about why the order was wrong. There was also no offer of any sauces or wether or not we required additional drinks we had to request these ourselves (lipstick still present on one of the tea mugs). There was also no come back to check if everything was ok with the meals. As for the food itself, the ‘toast’ was horrendously dry (more akin to French toast), the hash brown burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside, and poached egg was served already burst. That said, the bacon and sausage was pleasant, but not worth the price. Getting anyones attention was difficult and there was absolutely no feeling of us being wanted/welcomed there. If you, the owner, is going to ask why we didn’t raise these concerns at the time, you may want to consider that we were there as 3 groups, all of whom hadn’t seen each other in some time, and didn’t want to cloud the pleasant meeting we had with the bad experience of your venue. Also, given the issues with the breakfasts, and amount of time we were there, anyone with an ounce of customer service skill would realise we hadn’t had the best experience and may have tried to rectify it before we left, or at least, apologised for the issues."

"I stopped by for some afternoon coffee and enjoyed sitting in their garden by the river. The young lady who served us at the bar was very friendly and brought our coffees outside. The drinks were hot, well presented, and came with a nice sized biscuit on the side. The Ship is a local favorite and conveniently located near several holiday parks for Lodge, Caravan, or Motorhome stays, as well as being a residential area itself. It is very popular with locals and tourists alike. The river is located next to the car park and is a stop for the York river bus service. There is a picturesque pathway along the river for those who enjoy walking."

"We've been supporting the Oak since it started doing food again, and have been regularly for lunch during the week, which has always been fantastic. We tried a takeaway Sunday lunch, which was lovely, so we decided to book again for ourselves and two family members. Unfortunately the food wasn't up to standard on that occasion. However, undaunted, we decided to give the Sunday lunch another try ourselves yesterday. The menu looked even better than before, and the presentation was wonderful, but the food didn't live up to our expectations. With the exception of the lamb shank, which was superb, the rest of the food was definitely substandard. The beef was undercooked, rubbery and chewy, and almost impossible to cut even with the addition of a steak knife. The roast potatoes were tough and soggy, the carrots cold and the peas hard. The cauliflower cheese was ok although a little burnt. We won't be doing Sunday lunch again here but will continue to support the pub during the week."

"This review is for the food only. However, being an establishment that's offers Halal dining, I have also mentioned a few other things that people will find helpful. Food is average at best. All chicken dishes taste the same. In starters, the fish pakoras were hard and didn't taste right. The seekh kebabs were good though. And so we're the chicken tikka botis. Lamb chops were acceptable. Quite a few deserts on the menu were unavailable. Naan and roti were fresh. Chicken in chicken palak was under cooked. Credit to the staff who took it back and took it off the bill. We visited the establishment on our way back from a long journey and had another 120 mins of travel left. We were running out of time for Asar prayer so had to visit the place. A few things to note... No place to make wudhu as the toilets were not really clean. We made wudhu in the car park after using the toilets. No place to offer salah inside. Not even an office. There was music being played and the place serves alcohol. The staff did turn off the music at our request and seated us in a corner where we could offer salah next to the table on our own mussalah. They did not mind that at all. So full credit to them for this. However, it's worth noting that the place was almost empty with only a few other covers. We stayed about 2.5 hrs. Prayed Magrib and Isha there. Had it not been for the rain and the need to make wudhu/toilets on a country road, we would not have eaten there for reasons other than food."

"Wow, what a delightful surprise! We happened to come across this pub while we were lost and searching for a place to eat, and I must say, we received such a warm and beautiful welcome that we immediately felt at home. We enjoyed a lovely meal with bar snacks on Sunday evening, which I would definitely recommend to everyone. However, if I had to mention one negative aspect, it would be that I couldn't eat the tomato soup—I'm sorry to say."
