The Oak Tree Inn - Meze & Grill
About This Spot
Stepping into The Oak Tree Inn - Meze & Grill, you’re greeted by a warm, unhurried atmosphere where the familiar hum of conversation mingles effortlessly with the subtle sizzle of the grill. Nestled just a short stroll from the airport and major roads, this spot feels like a quiet haven that invites you to pause, linger, and savor the moment.
The inn carries the charm of a relaxed local gathering place, where the welcoming smiles of the staff and the easy camaraderie among regulars set a tone of genuine hospitality. The decor is thoughtfully simple, clean, and comfortable, creating a setting that’s both inviting for a casual catch-up and perfect for a slow, deliberate evening out.
Here, the rhythm of the meal unfolds naturally — from the shared plates of vibrant, carefully crafted Turkish meze to the rich, fragrant smells drifting from the grill. Each bite carries a whisper of care and tradition, bringing familiar flavors to life in a way that feels refreshing and sincere. Whether you’re settling in after a busy day or just stopping by on a whim, the meals offer a quiet yet memorable celebration of taste without fuss.
It’s also a place where the little touches matter: friendly nods from the regulars, thoughtfully prepared dishes that cater just right to families, and a selection of drinks that complement rather than compete with the food. The Oak Tree Inn doesn’t rush you — it invites you to be present, to enjoy good company, and to return again as part of a growing community of those who’ve discovered something quietly special right off Yarm Road.

Me and my Mrs came here last minute for the first time. Probably the best service of any restaurant in the area, food was delicious, service and staff were amazing, would highly recommend! Well worth the money, will definitely return.

I arrived too late for dining but I heard nothing but praise from the other dinners as they departed. All the staff were very welcoming, as were the regulars ( thank you Jimmy - Jock) Timothy Taylors Landlord was the pint of choice. Decor and cleanliness was in very good order. Only a 5 minute walk to the airport, easily accessible to the major routes, withe car parking. A nice touch was a nod to the former RAF Middleton St.George and it's wartime history with three photographs in the entrance

100% the best Turkish restaurant I've been to in years. We went to The Oak Tree Inn on our last day at the International Fire Training Centre, after the meal I wished we'd gone there on our first. The service, ambience and importantly the food was outstanding. The owner whose name I didn't ask greeted us with a warm welcoming smile as did the hostess. I can't thank you guys enough for making what was an arduous working week rememberable for all the right reasons. I promised we'd be back in 2yrs time and we will. I only wished I lived closer. Keep doing what you're doing.

Hey google, how do I give more than 5-stars? Holy moly the food here was faultless. Great service and atmosphere. I had the mixed grill. Salad was very fresh, and the lamb kofta in particular was simply sensational (My photo doesn’t do it justice)

What a lovely surprise - went on a Sunday looking for a carvery but end up having the best meal I have had at a restaurant in years (it just happened to be Turkish!). Lovely warm, relaxed atmosphere and just brilliant food cooked with care. Kids meals are delicious and great value too. Will be coming back soon to share this fantastic find with friends and family.

Amazing food under the new owners, a genuinely great meal we both absolutely loved it. The Lamb was so tasting, the vegetables were cooked perfectly and the sauce… beautiful meal!… we would definitely recommend this place, it’s was very reasonably priced too!

The fish platter was excellent, the hot meze for 2 was stunning and the guvlec (hopefully spelled right) was warming and well cooked. The service is second to none. I will say the music doesn't quite match the vibe as a meal in a luxurious, plus restaurant is oddly scored by TIKTOK remixes. But honestly,you are there for the food and you won't be disappointed

It's been a while since our last visit to ' the twig' it has improved beyond all recognition. The menu has a good varied choice. Food is excellent well prepared and presented. Staff are attentive and friendly. I would definitely put this as a must go to. We will definitely be returning. Well done to all involved
