A proper pub, a bit scruffy around the edges but with decent food and beer.
I suggest the person unable to find the car park takes a eye test before driving out again!!

Highly overpriced for food - avoid.
Car Park? - where was it?
Awful muzak played as you tried to eat your meal.
This place does not know whether or not it is as pub or a restaurant. If it is a pub charge proper pub prices for food. If it is a restaurant it would need to smarten up its service considerably fpr the prices it is charging. Not good value for money.

Generally a good pub, staff were friendly, nice feel to the place. Quite a number of ciders which is always good to see, also a range of ales for those who prefer.
Menu was expensive and choice was quite limited. We both ordered steak, one was ordered medium-well done and came bloody, the other was medium and was still jelly in the middle. Both had to go back but the staff handled it very well.
So - a very nice pub to go for a drink but we won't eat there again I think.

I've been for lunch - good food but as others have said a bit pricey. Good selection of beers. Staff were pleasant, but it was fairly quiet. Pleasant enough decor, with a garden. Worth a visit if you're on a splurge.

Several ales on pumps, one of which was Butcombe, which I like (I know it's boring, but I'm an ol' fart). Venison and horseradish sandwiches on lovely bread.
No complaints from me, although I do agree, it IS rather pricey for what this place is.
I'm going back to pay for it soon! (Ballsup on the card front)

This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. My husband and I had eaten at the Garricks Head in Bath, which was lovely, and decided to try their sister pub, The Oakhill Inn. One Saturday evening we decided fairly last minute to try the pub out. We telephoned before we left the house and were assured they had a table for us. On arriving, they were very busy and we were left for 20 minutes at the bar before someone came to serve us. When we said we had a table booked, there was a panic while they tried to find somewhere to seat us. We ended up being sat, on our own, in the 'conservatory' which they obviously were not expecting to use it because it was freezing cold and none of the tables had been laid up. We were sat next to the kitchen and were subjected to the foul mouthed rants of the chefs for the entire duration of our meal. The waiter took ages to come and take our order and our food took a very, very, long time to arrive. My husband ordered hand cut bacon, egg & chips but when the 'bacon' came out it was two large strips of pure fat. We left as soon as we could. When I later wrote a letter of complaint to the pub I got a response basically telling me that I obviously did not know about cuts of meat and that Gordon Ramsay is fashionable and we should be used to foul language by now! I kid you not. Several of our friends have had similar, unsatisfactory dining experiences there. Suffice to say, I will not be darkening their doors again.

Went here for first time today midday and was more than a little impressed. It IS pricey, but the food seems to be both very good and very local (cheese, meat, etc. all from local sources). They have a very good range of local beers and ciders, too: Butbombes and something tasty called Glastonbury Mystery Tor. Also some foreign lagers on tap. The service was very good, but it was midday and there were only three other customers. I will certainly be back again.

Someone's trying to make a silk purse out of this sows ear of a pub.
Looks like a bit of a mess, being a mix of urban chic and rustic simplicity.
For some reason thay have decided to fill one of the walls with about 20 clocks, all showing different times.
The food is fairly routine but way to expensive and the staff are idle.
Nice garden out the back is the one redeeming factor.

No longer a pooltable, darts or skittles. They're concentrating on bringing in the real ale buffs and foodies. Friendly enough pub - nice locals too. Well stocked bar, open fire. Food's lovely if a little pricey. The new owners have done a great job with their other two pubs. Give it a try.

Just writing to inform this online pub community that as of 15-10-07 The Oakhill Inn is under new management. The pub is now owned by Charlie & Amanda Digney, owners of the Garricks Head (Bath Restaurant of the Year 2007) and the King William pub in Bath.
The pub has style change since the change of hands and is a very welcoming pub with a weekly rotation of guest beers. The restaurant also uses locally sourced ingredients and cooks everything fresh. Winning recipe!

The oakhill inn has undergone a cultural transformation, now it is THE destination for switched on pub goers, who want good food in a friendly atmosphere where children are positively welcomed . The traditional english pub fayre menu is fantastic , if sometimes a little pricey.
More options in the �8-10 main course please and this is the perfect pub.
Good range of real ales that are constantly changing and you are welcome to sample before buying...great customer service. Top end lagers from around world compliment the excellent range of wines....FINE FOOD
FINE BOOZE, an excellent recipe for success......anonymous

The pool table and skittle alley have a strong presence in this local pub, the ale is good with a guest beer being changed regularly. The Black Rat cider is a special. Range of food is good.
