The Royal Oak, South Ockendon

Total disappointment, complete and utter waste of time! since new owners have taken over they have totally killed the pub, they have ripped the heart and soul out of a lovely old pub, in has come blaring spot lights, fake marble bar, over exagerated decor! Landlady extremely surly and very rude which goes hand in hand with the bar staff, the most ignorant staff I have ever been served by, three visits running they had no beer on tap? Had run out and no one could change barrell. Bearing in mind this is the only pub in the area, surely common sense would kick in and realise you charge normal pub prices to get the punters back in? No totally overcharging, she seems to forget this is Ockendon not London. Pub is deserted every night of week, wonder why! Restaurant, what a joke, not one person in there, but then twenty pounds for fishand chips, dont bother going.
