Spent a pleasant few hours in a quaint old pub which would have been in the middle of nowhere when it was built maybe 300 years ago ? When things were built by eye ! It’s a grade 2 listed building and I’m informed the room I’ve pictured would have housed cattle initially and in later years a room for horses to recover after a day pulling a coach . They had a singer this Saturday doing rat pack songs which was a welcome accompaniment. The staff were lovely and the drinks were a good price . Thanks to all at the Royal Oak for a lovely evening .
Lovely old timber-framed building. My pint of Old Speckled Hen was excellent. Prices reasonable and service very friendly.
Such a beautiful quaint country pub, a real gem, with fabulous staff, so very clean and wonderful food. A beautiful beer garden to relax when the sun is out.
I had my mums wake here to, Mum would of really lived the day, they even got a cocktailtender in for the evening.
Highly recommended for family, sport and any other social events.
Always a welcoming atmosphere.
Visited today for a wake to celebrate my friends life.
We were well looked after and staff were really compassionate and understanding.
A great family pub dating back hundreds of years.
Well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed
Great pub great atmosphere and of course lovely beer
Warm and friendly, nice place to get out of the rain. My granddaughter loves the pub.
This place deserves more than 5 stars. Excellent service, all staff are friendly and very attentive. Food is brilliant, very good value for money, always hot & cooked to perfection. Selection of beers, wines & spirits.... spoilt for choice. The Christmas menu is also a must!!
Lovely country pub, full of character. Unfortunately the live music was far too loud to have a conversation. It'd been great if there had been somewhere quieter. Definitely going to tryout the restaurant.
Very nice pub for a drink. Friendly staff.
Went to a funeral wake at this pub found it a bit expensive but food was good and fresh staff very pleasant.
I held my 60th birthday party at The Royal Oak last night (21/12/2019) and cannot thank Jane and her team enough for the service they provided. The dining/function room was perfect as was the buffet and the staff were very attentive and friendly.....a perfect evening, thank you.
Attended a remembrance meal.
Catering was very good.
If l rated it now it would be 4 stars as they no longer sell good cider! A nice enough pub with lots of outside seating and friendly staff. No food though
friendly staff beer was good And band was Great
Fantastic home cooked food. Have not been here for years and wow, what a change, fab decor, team seemed nice and attentive. I did not book but they fit me in. It looked very clean, only critisism slightly but nothing major, is the smell of discinfectant. Im very fussy with my meat so i leave the slightest bit of fat, polished the rest off as it was georgous, when my waitress cleared my plate she then returned as the chef noticed i did not eat all the meat and was concerned if there was a problem, i was offered a free dessert, but declined as 1....the food was without fault, and 2...i was so full. Thank you though chef. X
Love the setting, love the history of the place, beautifully decorated restaurant and great food make this a place where you can just have a drink or feel like it's a treat to eat in the restaurant and enjoy the lovely dining experience. Would recommend it to anyone as it's more than just a pub.
Lovely pub, been recently refurbished. About the only nice bit of Ockendon.
Never seen any trouble in there, since new management have had it which is a couple years now, they are particular that they only allow decent clientel in there. I would highly recommend it. The staff are lovely and friendly and the Chef is brilliant, food is great.
A quaint pub with comfortable seating and on site parking. Prices were reasonable however the pub only accepts cash and not card. There is a cash machine a couple of minutes walk from the location.
