A nice-looking old pub (the building is partly 15th century apparently) with about 4 or 5 hand pump ales available when I visited. I opted for Adnam's Broadside, which proved very good.

My only complaint was that no food was available after 9:00 pm (which was shortly before I arrived). I know this is a common policy but it seems crazy to me when people are starving hungry and want to order food not to be a bit more flexible with the hours rather than operating a strict cut-off at 9:00. If restaurants can stay open until 11:00 or midnight, why not pubs?

Given the size of the pub the bar area is too small; bar manageress not the friendliest either. Outside garden area is big but plagued with insects.
Putting that all aside, it is a good pub with decent range of drinks and never seen any trouble there. Is most expensive of the three in Benfleet which might explain my last observation.

A very nice pub, been here a few times and the locals are very friendly and never witnessed any kinds of trouble.
The food I have ordered has always been served after a reasonable amount of time and in good condition.
As one other user has mentioned, the large beer garden makes it the perfect pub for those long summer evenings. Highly recommended. Only downside are the quite high prices compared to the two other pubs close by.
