Nice experience Big thanks to the staff at Oilys. Especially to the manager and the owner. We arrived without a resevation but were given a choice of seating, the manager came over with a bowl of water for our little Yorkshire terrier and fussed all over her which she absolutely loved. Unfortunately there was a little mishap with the chicken pie. The staff were were very apologetic about it. And the owner even came to see us. Things were qickly sorted out to everyones satisfaction. Thanks a lot guys/girls. Looking around as we were leaving all the food on the plates looked lovely. Will visit again

Great food and service and location for the lakes x We had a lovely experience in Oilys, we were very fortunate to enjoy a free bottle of prosecco at our table from the new management. The food as always was first rate and staff were very helpful. Looking forward to our next visit x
