Fab venue full of clocks.. We ate early evening from the early bird option. The dishes I had were excellent. Tasty hot and well presented. Staff were friendly and welcoming, we will certainly return when we next visit the town. Also a great venue for relaxed drinks with lots of seating options.

What delightful place, lovely staff, wonderful food, decent prices, good beer, lox to the centre of town, good for the minster.... I could go on..... fantastic

The Oak at the Saracens head provides a delightful and inviting atmosphere, complemented by a team of welcoming and attentive staff. The dining experience is elevated by a range of high quality cuisine, and the proximity to Southwell Minster offers charming views. Without a doubt, it has become my favourite place to indulge in exceptional food amid a warm and pleasant ambiance.

Unbelievably beautiful food at incredibly reasonable prices. The food is high quality restaurant food at gastro pub prices, making it feel like a steal. They also do events, such as dinner balls, a few times a year, making a truly memorable evening.

Just to say thanks to David and his team for organising and running the Minster function suite for my mums wake. It was exactly as we wanted with the large numbers attending it meant my father and our family could catch up with the many friends and family attending. Everything we discussed was done and seamless. Even when we ran out of food, they sorted a few sandwiches for my dad! The bar ran smoothly also! Thank you and a pleasure to deal with you and we hope to return in happier times Gail Dewing Ps- only 4/5 on food and atmosphere as it was a wake !

We really enjoyed our meal at Oak last weekend. David and the team went out of their way to deliver a fantastic dinner with friends Thanks so much the food was also excellent and we really enjoyed ourselves The perfect local restaurant a short walk away
