Don't try here if you're on your own. They don't want you're business. Pathetic attitude.

We visited for a family meal and ordered a mix of dishes, including two different chicken options. Unfortunately, both family members who had chicken became unwell the following day with symptoms consistent with food poisoning. The third person, who had a different dish, remained well. While we can?t say with certainty that the meal was the cause, the timing and symptoms raised concern. We?ve reported it so that, if needed, the chicken storage and preparation processes can be reviewed. Noticed someone else send chicken back on reflection.
Service kinda slow but I'm not sure if the kid was new?

Visited Oilys today, was very empty so a weird atmosphere. Felt like we were just being watched by the staff. Food was pretty quick but ordered the chicken strips and they are extremely greasy nearly inedible. Also card machine doesn?t work this is signposted at the door but seems like it has been a long term issue as signs looked old.

Lovely food including a good gluten free selection. Service and team were friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Would recommend.

Starter (brie with cranberry) and desert (milkybar cheesecake) were fantastic!! My main, which was a blue cheese burger, was a little dry unfortunately.
But over all it was a great meal.

I've heard Oily's is good from locals but this is the first time my husband and I have visited. There's a large car park to the front of the restaurant, it's a bit overgrown in part by overhanging trees but completely free. When we entered the restaurant we were seated quickly, the place was very clean and it appeared everyone was getting served rapidly without delay. Noted, we did visit on a Monday but I had noted from other reviews they experienced slow service. That was definitely not our experience. The staff and the service they provided was very prompt and courteous. For starters we had garlic mushrooms and mushroom tartlet. Both of which were very nicely presented and the taste was gorgeous. Got our main course, we had shoulder of lamb and salmon pasta. Both dishes again were very delicious. The portions were also very generous. I noted in reviews some had grumbled about small portions and value for money. Honestly, I totally disagree. Very nice food, decent value for the portion size and very nicely cooked and presented. If those people visited more restaurants they'd know what prices are like these days. Now, the reason I'm giving Oily's 4 stars rather than 5 is simply the payment. Currently, due to technical issues, they are not accepting card payments. I think it's been going on a week or more. Honestly, it should be sorted quicker. You either have to pay with cash or via bank transfer and show proof you've made payment. This made me somewhat uncomfortable as you shouldn't have to do this to make payment. It would also be really nice if the outside area here was cleaned up so you could sit out with a drink, but it's very overgrown. In all a very nice restaurant, offering nice food, friendly staff, just a shame about a few things about the edges of the place.

I have not been here for a while, and it could be even longer before I go again if, in fact, I do!
It was my daughter's birthday, and her love for steak I finally decided on Oilys as I always used to love the food there.
We were warmly greeted and shown to a table as expected,
It went downhill from there.
I got up to order drinks to be told there was no bar service, and someone would be with us shortly (If only).
We were just getting ready to get up and leave after waiting over 30 minutes without any drinks when the young waitresses finally turned up to take our drink orders. Not wanting to cause a scene and struggling with social anxiety, we reluctantly stayed and gave our orders.
15 minutes later and nearly one full hour. I started to get up to leave, extremely disgusted and less than pleased with all the services we had received.
My daughter kindly pointed out the waitress was starting to pour drinks order, so again reluctantly stayed. ( I should have left) Approximately 5-10 minutes after we received our drinks, we finally had our food order taken.
By the time the food had arrived, we had been there for nearly two hours. The Food looked as you can see, but I had completely lost my appetite by then and struggled to eat. I almost had to force it down; this was just so I didn't waste my money on service and food I wished I had never had the experience of.
