| Good grief this place is awful. I used to come here with the Mrs about 10 years ago and it was a bit dated then but they had a reasonable range of drinks and that "steak on a skillet n' chips for 2 quid" kept us interested. Used to be one section as the "saloon bar" (full of old scummers and wasters) and the slightly nicer "wine bar" bit in a different section. Now however they've knocked it all through and err..it's now completely full of scummers and wasters! You can always tell when a pub's died, cos it has that sickly detergent small that stcks in your throat. The Kronenbourg was stale and they had "run out" of diet coke (Pepsi). I don't think I've EVER been to a pub where they run out of diet cola? Surely Pepsi would be furious about that? Unless of course they owed Pepsi money. Part of the problem with this place lies with the size. It's HUGE, like an aircraft hangar! Knocking two large spaces into one vast space has doen it no favours at all. Utterly characterless and only a dozen punters (all blokes, all dodgy looking) staring at Sky Sports on the pull down screen (all the blinds at the front were closed to accomodate viewing this screen, so not even a whiff of natural daylight to make things marginally better). Yuk. Horrible place, horrible people. Somebody buy this place and/or just put it out of its misery.... glenn9ball - 25 Oct 2010 13:22 |
| You get a reasonable selection of beer here at an average price. The Directors was good.The trouble here was that even though it was quite quiet for a Friday the service was very slow (took the order quickly then disappeared for ages before getting the pint, this happened twice so not changing barrel). The interior is dated and they had karoke on, which is never a good sign for me, and not a great atmosphere, but have been in here recently on a Saturday lunch time and found it okay. badhabits - 14 Oct 2009 18:24 |

| A good, down-to-earth, reliable boozer. No fancy decor, no gimmicks, just a warm comfy pub livened up by the mix of sociable of Irish and Afro-Carribeans as well as the locals. It's also in a good area for dinner, being opposite 2 good Indian restarants, a spanking new Chinese place and a classy-looking Portuguese bistro which I haven't tried yet.... A good night out if you don't like Southend High Street! AshingdonMan - 18 Mar 2006 10:36 |
