The Oak On The Green, Bearsted

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE OAK ON THE GREEN. I HAVE JUST ARRIVED HOME FROM AN EXCELLENT THREE NIGHT STAY AT THE TUDOR PARK HOTEL, NEAR BEARSTED. ON OUR SECOND DAY, WE WERE LOOKING FOR A LOCAL PUB TO HAVE LUNCH, AND WERE RECOMMENDED TO TRY THE OAK ON THE GREEN. I HAD THE STARTER OF CRISPY BRIE, WHICH WAS HUGH, BUT DELICIOUS AND MY HUSBAND HAD THE PATE, WHICH HE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED (I CAN'T COMMENT ON THIS, AS I AM NOT A PATE FAN). FOR THE MAIN COURSE, I HAD CHICKEN BURRITO, WHICH AGAIN WAS DELICIOUS AND MY HUSBAND HAD THE FILLET STEAK WITH PEPPERCORN SAUCE. THE STEAK WAS COOKED PERFECTLY, WITH A LOVELY CREAMY PEPPERCORN SAUCE AND HUGH - HE COULDN'T MANAGE IT ALL, WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR HIM. WE WERE INTENDING GOING BACK TO THE TUDOR PARK FOR A SWIM IN THE AFTERNOON, BUT WERE FAR TOO FULL! WE ENDED UP G0ING BACK TO THE OAK ON THE GREEN THE FOLLOWING EVENING AND AGAIN THE FOOD AND SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. I WOULD RECOMMEND BOOKING, AS BOTH TIMES WE WERE THERE, THE PUB WAS VERY BUSY.
