Royal Oak, Yateley

I have had the missfortune of visiting this pub today and i have to say i would never recommend it to anyone, Having ordered a salad thinking not too much could go wrong with a salad right? how wrong was I! Firstly i was undercharged for 2 childrens meals and the came out to ask for the the extra money, not sure why i should pay for thier mistakes but paid anyway. They dont put up a childrens price you have to ask so i didnt know they had made a mistake.

When my salad finally arrived on first glance it looked ok, one bite in however the croutons tasted like something dragged from the back of the store cupboard and mixed up with the cardboad box they came in, but carried on anyway, figuring i wouldnt make a issue of that. The chiken in the salad wasnt freshly cooked it had obviously been stored quite possibly all day or a couple of days. Sadly i had almost finished eating this when i noticed that there was mud on the lettuce, this time i thought it time to send it back......... I have never come accross such a rude and obnoxious man in my life, i was told i was complaining for the sake of it and did i actually wash all my salad leaves at home?! (erm yes!) I then asked for the pubs chain head office address and was told i couldnt have it as it was a stupid complaint!! This is one place i will not be visiting again and i will make sure i tell as many people as possible to avoid it at all costs!

I think all the posative comments must be his friends as theres no way it deserves the rating it has! gets a big fat 0 from me.
