🍕 Freshly Made Pizza at Oak Mead… with a little rewind and a few giggles!

Claire’s delicious barbecue chicken pizza is ready for its close-up — but before you tuck in, we’re taking you backwards through the making of it. Smoky, saucy and seriously tempting! 😋

And because the pizza shouldn’t get all the attention, we tried getting Claire and Kirsty to pose for the camera too. Let’s just say there were a few extra takes… 😂🎬

Come for a freshly made pizza and a friendly welcome. Whether you’re staying at Oakdown or popping in from nearby, everyone’s welcome at Oak Mead. 💚

It’s the perfect way to round off a game on the Oak Mead Golf Course! We’re pet friendly too, with plenty of free parking for customers. 🐾⛳

Who would you share this with… or are you keeping every slice for yourself? 🍕👇

What a fantastic day at the Sidmouth Classic Car Show! 🚘✨

Oakdown Holiday Park was proud to be one of the main sponsors of this wonderful event, which brought together an incredible collection of cherished classic cars, friendly enthusiasts and visitors from across the area.

From beautifully restored vintage vehicles to much-loved motoring icons, there was plenty to admire throughout the day.

It was great to see Sidmouth buzzing with visitors and to support an event that celebrates the town, its community and its brilliant local atmosphere.

Here are two highlights from the day to see some of the stunning cars on display.

Thank you to everyone involved in organising the show, the owners who brought along their vehicles and everyone who came out to enjoy it.
