At Oak the menu is in a constant state of change, responding to the availability of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Whether you're looking for a satisfying lunch, a midday cup of coffee, or a delicious dinner, Oak welcomes you and the whole family. Not only are you welcome at any time, but you’re encouraged to stop by to pick up some vibrant vegetables or a bottle of natural wine. The restaurant’s wine list is curated with real wines that narrate a story, sourced from growers who employ low intervention methods. Found just outside of Bath, the small chemical free market garden is proof to the team’s commitment, here, the team cultivates as much as possible for both the grocer and the restaurant.
At the heart of Oak is the belief that exceptional food begins with prioritising the soil. As growers, grocers, and cooks, the team have a mission to offer, produce and serve food that embodies simplicity and thoughtfulness. Vegetables that not only look and taste extraordinary but also originate from land farmed conscientiously, free from chemicals and over cultivation are the ones that are chosen here.
Start off with table snacks of pickled carrots with fermented cashew or spiced almonds. Follow up with middleground beetroot salad with homemade ricotta and candied walnuts, and a plate of cannellini beans ribollita with sourdough and cavelo nero. There are also dishes of leek risotto with hazelnuts and Old Winchester cheese, and Jerusalem artichokes with ajo blanco, apple and shallot vinaigrette. If you like pasta, try the ricotta ravioli with spinach and pine nuts for a dish you'll love. For dessert, you must try the dark chocolate ganache with hazelnut ice cream, and the sciacchetra amphora and possa.
