| "Built on the corner of Church Road and Caernarvon Road, by A.&E.F. Cauler at a cost of £510. Later lengthened at an extra cost of £79.10.0d" - from their website. Had an excellent pint of Thornbridge "brother rabbit". There was another national brand ale on and another guest beer (not tried). If this freehouse was in any other town ie Chelmsford, it would be quite ordinary. However this is Clacton, and you have the wetherspoons and, er, thats it for any kind of half decent pub. So for that alone it is recommended on what may be a very short pub crawl. The pub is larger outisde than in. It does seem to be a locals place but no problem on that score, I think any visitors may get no further than the wetherspoons, as this place is a little hard to find if you don't know it is there. The landlord / barman was friendly enough. I think the current rating of 4.8 is a little low, I'm giving this a solid 7. What Clacton needs is some competition on the pub front !

| Not the biggest of pubs, but at least a pub which is something of a rarity in Clacton. Certainly a locals boozer , but , we were made welcome. Couple of guests ales. valtojos - 17 Jun 2011 01:59 |
| Unfriendly locals pub seemingly occupied by chavs. We left without even ordering anything. Can't say I regret this. Won't be back. simontheeditor - 13 Feb 2011 12:10 |
| A small pub just to the side of the main shopping area. It is a one room pub which has obviously been converted from something else - possibly a lifeboat house? The decor is basic but it feels more like a club than a pub. It appears to be used by locals rather than tourists. It had 2 real ales on the bar which were reasonable. boozers_knows - 10 Sep 2010 11:52 |
