| This pub is slightly away from the centre of Rochford. It's listed in the current Good Beer Guide. But it has clearly been closed and has only just re-opened under new ownership. Doom Bar was the only ale. Still £1 for a J2O (I was driving) seemed very good value. A beer garden at the rear looks as if it could be quite pleasant given a bit of attention. I hope they can get this place back up and running again. But on this occasion, it wasn't the best. blue_scrumpy - 5 Jul 2015 13:52 |
| Ive been here in different parties and was catered for as I would hope for each time. One of the young barmaids working recently couldnt have been less pleased to see me as I popped in as the bell went one night, but on the whole the staff are friendly. Sandbag is the star in this pub for me. So called after the recent floods that forced a fairly long closure last year. Shame as the pub is set down from a short but significantly steep incline from the road, so they really cop it when theres a prolonged downpour. Ive always found the landlord to be a thoroughly decent chap, so I cant agree with some of the comments others have made. Well worth a visit in a fairly crowded area of competition - Rochford. To me, this and the Golden Lion are clearly the best pubs in Rochford. DannyBoy2010 - 6 Aug 2014 14:35 |
| I thought this was a nice, homely pub. Visiting around Christmas time, it was nicely decorated and the staff were friendly. No sign of any mouthy clientele as alluded to in previous reviews, was a very quiet Thursday night. I had a pint of Urban Dusk which was in good nick. Two other hand pumps on, Brentwood Best and one other, can't remember the name, sorry. Couldn't stay too long, but would definitely go back. eastangliantour - 21 Dec 2012 13:12 |
| Revisted last Friday ,same comments as 6 months ago really,an unsavoury bunch there , we asked around ,it appears many of these "people" are not welcome in the surrounding pubs.We moved as far away as possible and did manage to drink some good ales in there . We noted this pub is in the current CAMRA Good Beer Guide,hope any of CAMRA's heiracy dont chose to try this pub out on a Friday evening !! aquickpint - 12 Jun 2012 13:31 |
| We visited on a friday recently ,one corner was taken over by what appeared to have been a crowd of drunken builders,lots of bad language and shouting,felt sorry for some respectable diners there,landlord seemed totally oblivious and spent most of his time outside smoking. However some decent beers served by a very pretty and friendly barmaid. aquickpint - 22 Jan 2012 15:52 |
