The Oasis was a public house in North Gunnels, Basildon Town Centre.

It first opened in 1971 as The Painted Wagon having been built as part of the larger Great Oaks House development that also included the A.B.C. cinema and Tesco supermarket. It even featured a 'wagon' from which you could enjoy a drink.

It was later renamed the Jolly Wagonner before a further name change to The Oasis, which it remained through to eventual closure around 1999. The building then remained empty for around 17 years when it became a Roadhouse diner from May 2016 to July 2017, though following that businesses closure has remained empty ever since.
