Its never an easy thing to try to cater for everyones needs and wants at a Food and drink establishment. The Akeman does its best to be a drinkers venue, a romantic dinners place and even to some extent a family establishment where you can have a coffee with your friends and the kids. For the most part The Akeman... More

Hi there, our meat is of premium quality and generally cooked rare to allow the best flavour and succulent texture. However, please email us at marketing@oakmaninns.co.uk with more details and we'll look into your experience. More

Gorgeous building, great food and friendly service. My only complaint is it's a bit loud. Great place for a long boozy dinner with people that love eating out. More

The Akeman has an open Kitchen with 4 Chefs doing the cooking when 6 of us visited for the first time for Lunch on Easter Monday.So you are expecting the food to be vibrant & tasty! The Restaurant was quite busy with lots of tables with noisy children! The Chefs were slow in getting our starters,mains and desserts to our... More

The venue is stunning, all that the best modern design should be, the service is very good and the selection on the menu is just right, however, this can offer variable quality, the same dish on different visits can be quite radically different in terms of portion size and quality. Not the cheapest place to eat but for lunch especially... More

I ordered a crab pasta for main and it was stringy pasta, covered in tomatoes with the smallest bit of crab imaginable, not very nice. I had bruchette to start which... More

I've been to The Akeman many times and just wanted to comment on the special Mother's Day menu they put on this Sunday. It was a set three course menu for a good price and we all felt the choices were good, the food itself was wonderful and delivered with the usual good service. I think every member of the... More
