The Kings Oak, High Beech

After a gorgeous walk in the forest we saw this pub which looked great from the outside, beautiful building and lots of space - We were hoping for a roast dinner and had high hopes for this pub. UNfortunately the food choice was pretty basic english pub food, scampi, sausages and mash and that kind of thing, hardly inspiring.

I ordered the sausage and mash which was lumpy, the butter hadnt been mixed through and the gravy was just usual watery stuff, the sausages werent much better, my friend had the ham egg and chips, the chips were cooked in stale fat and the food just left a lot to be desired. For a pub that we had hoped would be a great sunday pub it was dire, the music on the screen was pumping out mtv dance. It has a lot of potential because of its location, it needs a new menu and for the place to have a more classic feel. A real shame.
