| My comments are some 50 years old. My father was the licensee from 1951 - 1957 and I spent many a happy school holiday there. At that time it was the local fisherman's local (except for the annual illuminations when it was the first and last for the day-trippers who arrived by "charabang" in the Seaway carpark.) Then it was a "beer only house" no spirits were served. It had a small private or ladies bar. Recent photographs that I have seen show one bar. The feature of the pub was the assortment of bric a brac including preserved siamese twin monkeys and a glass case with evening dressed squirrels playing billiards. Quite a place for a teenager in the 50's to grow up. purchall - 28 Dec 2007 04:08 |
| I visited the Cornucopia on 22/12/2007 during an evening in Southend. This is indeed a tiny, intimate pub with an 'L' shaped bar to the right as you enter from the corner of the pub. A traditional interior greets you, with the lighting at a pleasant level. A very friendly, well-traveled and knowledgeable landlord offered me a warm welcome on a freezing December night, and it was nice to hear his stories in between songs from the lively karaoke session belting out by the front of the pub. Mighty Oak "Mauldon Gold" was on very good form - I enjoyed two pints - and an Adnams seasonal ale was also available. I was told there were normally three ales on, and that one of them is regularly from Mighty Oak. I will visit again, maybe on a quieter night - no disrespect to the karaoke participants some of whom had excellent singing voices! Good 8/10. lad_newton - 26 Dec 2007 21:30 |
| Nice little street corner seafront pub selling two real ales.Can be a bit noisy summer weekends but all in all a nice small comfortable pub.It'supposed to be the smallest pub in Essex with the honour of the smallest pub in Britain going to The Nutshell,Bury St.Edmunds. anonymous - 7 Jun 2006 17:10 |
