Nice place, friendly staff, some decent food and generally a pretty good place to eat. Bit more expensive than the nearby Harvester, but not by much now that Harvester have changed their menu and got rid of their 'early bird' offers.
Started going there more regularly now - they got hooks of my email address somehow and seem to regularly send out money off vouchers which make the visits more affordable for a family on a budget...

*UPDATE 3 May*

I and my family have been regular customers of the Oast & Squire for a number of years now. I rarely drink alcohol, and I don't smoke. The only 'vice' I really could be said to have is that I like to have a nice cold 'full fat' Pepsi or Coca Cola whenever I eat a meal out.

I appreciate that the Government has instituted this ridiculous 'tax' on sugary drinks as a knee-jerk reaction to the number of obese people out there (but not on sweets, ice cream, sugary foods etc for some reason) and that as a result companies are required to charge more for sugary drinks, however...




This means that by keeping the price the same, but removing the refills, for someone like me who usually consumes - on average - 2 to 3 drinks during my meal, I'm actually paying 200 to 300% more than I previously would have for my drinks, which is clearly FAR more than the Government's required increase!

So, ignoring the fact that these drinks literally cost the company just pennies per glass anyway (consisting as they do of a tiny amount of syrup mixed with soda water) how can they justify gouging loyal customers in this way??
