Me and my partner visited the Sylvan Oak at the beginning of August with family and all we can say is WOW! We were absolutely blown away, from the attentive service from all the staff, the tranquil atmosphere and the outstanding food we all had. Even with it being a smaller venue you feel as if you have your own privacy between tables, which was lovely, as we were able to freely chat amongst ourselves and not feel as if we were disturbing anyone else that was there. While all the staff were amazing, we would like to give a extra special thanks to Ben who made our time there even more enjoyable. From providing recommendations of wines that would compliment our dishes to his attentiveness throughout our booking, he’s an essential asset to the business and makes everyone feel welcomed and well looked after. The food was incredible! You can tell that all the chefs involved have a true passion for what they are serving. Everything is incredibly thought out and all ingredients compliment each other throughout every dish. The variety of different foods available on their menu means everyone can find something to enjoy and tuck into. A couple of us had a look through their cocktail menu and tried their Passionfruit Martini, which we agreed was the best one we’ve ever had. The cocktails alone have convinced us to return to try the others available, what better way to make the most of the atmosphere inside and outside the venue? I would highly recommend, without a doubt, to pop into the Sylvan Oak whether you want a sit down meal or a couple of drinks to unwind from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It truly is a hidden treasure in Findon, and one we hope more people make the most of.

Here for a friend's special birthday party. All the food and drink was beautifully presented and delicious. Other items on the menu were just as tempting. I'm sure we will return and benefit from the great food and the easy goodwill of the staff.
