The White Oak

A beautifully presented pub where it’s clear that real effort, time and care are invested in both maintenance and aesthetics. There’s a good-sized car park to the rear, which is tidy and well lit. Inside, the atmosphere is fantastic — clean, spacious and welcoming. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and we felt genuinely well looked after throughout the evening. The food was truly delicious. It’s clear the team take pride in what they offer, with thoughtful specials and periodic menu changes that keep things interesting. I only wish I’d noted the names of the two servers who looked after us, as they were excellent. This will definitely become a regular spot for us. Absolutely worth a visit!

A lovely celebration lunch for 2 birthdays. I was looking for somewhere to bring my birthday pals for lunch and combine it with a walk. A nice circular walk on Cookham moors led us to the door of The White Oak. The interior is bright, spacious and they patio doors were open, with seating inside and out. We enjoyed a fantastic selection of starters, followed by delicious mains. I'd mentioned when booking that we were celebrating a 65th birthday and they sweetly acknowledged that with some cake and a candle. Very enjoyable lunch and will happily return 😊

Having been midweek previously and loving our experience we thought we should try out the Sunday roast. Wow, did this live up to expectation? Yes, it did. This is without doubt our new favourite roast lunch spot. Everything was cooked to perfection and just how we love it… And the bottom sides were an added bonus! The service was great, and we were met with a friendly smile and welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be returning to our new favourite spot. 10/10.

Visited yesterday for a traditional roast with the family. I had the Roast Suffolk Chicken, alongside traditional trimmings others had the beef and pork. Every element is executed with finesse: from the perfectly crisp potatoes to the expertly seasoned seasonal vegetables, and a rich, savory gravy, complemented by a generous pig in a blanket. It’s a genuine celebration of the British tradition, executed with modern finesse. And its bottomless trimmings....make sure you have a big appetite. They also have some amazing deserts. Plus the staff were amazing, will definately heading back soon!

A lovely pub for a Sunday lunch. One of the best roast dinners I’ve had in a while. Great veg to go with the roast and all very fairly priced. The service was top notch, but didn’t get the name of the guy who was our server. Saw ‘trial’ on the receipt… so if he’s not there full time- hire him!

An incredible Cookham gem! The staff are always very friendly and attentive. My first time having a roast here, and I'm blown away. Everything was cooked to perfection, the best cauliflower cheese I've ever had. Dog and family friendly.

10/10 bottomless roast lunch today. Fantastic service and excellent food. Will definitely be returning!

Food was very good and I would definitely recommend this place for a Sunday roast. The desserts we tried were also exceptional. Cocktails - not so good. Tasted too watery. Biggest issue was the waiting staff. Completely oblivious to customers, would all hang out around the bar so quite difficult to flag one down. Also, out waitress, bless her, very polite. Completely clueless. Better training needed and they will surely be equally exceptional.

Modernized pub with superb service and food at a reasonable price. I had venison pie topped with buttons of mashed potatoes, served with roasted carrots smothered in butter. Desert was a trio of brioche donuts sprinkled with sugar and served with salted caramel and a yummy custard. Add a couple pints and Bob's your uncle.

This place is lovely. We come here for special family lunches. Apparently it's owned by Terry Wogan's daughter. Well I don't know if that's good or bad, however each time I have been here there has been famous people here. Last time was England rugby supremo Clive Woodward with his family, then this time was a guy a recognised as a baddie in a lot of prime suspect type tv movies. I guess you get a lot of that in Cookham though. Nice, but meal for 5 always costs over £120, however at this place I think it's worth it.

Visited here over the weekend of the Queen's 60th Jubille back in June 2012. I came here with my cousins and their spouses and we were seated quickly. Excellent food -- my cousins ordered hamburgers and I ordered the 8 oz steak. Everything turned out very well and we were all very pleased. All of this was made better by the fact that the town had basically shut down to have a massive street fair for the Queen's coronation. Very energetic yet relaxing. Would definitely visit again.

Very nice meal good atmosphere and friendly staff. Deserts a little limited but would go again.
