Oscars Restaurant @ Abbey House

Sunday lunch was a bit mid. Cheese souffle was tasty but looked like scrambled egg. Roast dinner was a tiny carrot and parsnip, 4 roast potatoes, 2 wafer thin slices of beef, no red cabbage as promised and some mangetout. Mustard was burger mustard and not English. Pudding was alright, egg custard and a slice of pear in caramel sauce. Not the best, service was alright and the wine was nice.

Lovely and great value for money with the lunch menu 3 courses for 24 pound

Everything was 5 star, foods was exceptional, very tasty. Dessert was very good also. Staff were great, very tentative and prompt. My only complaint which isnt really complaint but a suggestion is add mashed potatoes to the plate to, it just makes sense to have Roast and Mashed. Overall it was up there with best roast in area.

Very lovely place to eat for my anniversary. The steak deal was amazing. A tall gentleman with long ish hair served us on 03/05/25 at 7pm. The wine he recommended was lovely too and the service was quick!

We went to Oscars at Abbey House Hotel for a lunch celebration with a friend. The place is absolutely stunning — elegant but still really welcoming. We don’t usually go to posh restaurants (always feel a bit out of place, tbh), but Oscars was lovely. The staff were warm and friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed, which helped us feel at ease straight away — especially with the kids and a group of mates in tow. What me and my partner had: Starters: Pork Belly Bits with Bramley Apple Compote – The pork belly itself was a bit mild in flavour, but the apple compote really lifted it and added a nice contrast. Goat’s Cheese Thyme Tart – My partner really enjoyed this one. He said it was creamy, well-balanced, and went down a treat. Mains: Slow-Cooked Cumbrian Lamb Shepherd’s Pie – I absolutely loved this! First time trying lamb in a shepherd’s pie and it was lush. Proper comfort food — I’d 100% order it again. Linguine with Prawns & Pan-Fried Seabass – He found it light and satisfying with a lovely white wine and lemon cream sauce. The portion was massive for him, but fair play — he still polished it off. 😄 Desserts: Sticky Toffee Pudding – Another winner for me. I’ve only recently gotten into sticky toffee puds as I am not a dessert person but, and this one was spot on not too sweet! Classic Tiramisu – Smooth and not too sweet, with just the right hit of coffee and chocolate. He was well happy with it. Service: The staff were brilliant. Really kind and patient, and never made us feel awkward, even with toddlers running about. They gave the kids some colouring pencils and paper to keep them busy, plus a kids’ menu which helped loads. We don’t tend to eat at places like this often — usually feels a bit fancy for us — but this was honestly such a great experience.
