The Trading Rooms, Westcliff on Sea

Nice little pub that I and the wife frequent perhaps once a fortnight.
Excellent pint of Woodfordes Wherry, the only ale available at time of visit.

Staff presentable and the place is spotlessly clean.

Food is nothing special for the prices charged which on occasions has been a let down , so we eat elsewhere. Still nice place to have a refreshing pint and or a large glass of wine.

The Carlton, Leigh on Sea

A very interesting pub, well worth a visit. My wife enjoyed the mandarin vodka and I enjoyed beers served in here, I had one of each starting with Adnams Southworld, Arundel Gold, and my last pint , A fullers ESB! - they certainly seem well-kept. Top marks to the bar staff who remember details - despite being on our first visit to this pub, not being our local. When I bought a second round, the barman remembered my wife didn't take ice in her drink. Such a refreshing change from the numerous places where the staff automatically ask if you want ice but don't bother listening to your answer. Only a little thing I know, but its the small details that go towards making a great pub which the Carlton certainly is. The pub has large windows at front which makes the pub bright and airy, and has a small beer garden to the rear. It is also dog friendly and they provided a small bowl of water.

Elms, Leigh On Sea

Nice garden/patio area that is well kept.
Very friendly manager and duty manager who was working on the day of our visit.
Have been before and the young girls were stroppy and robotic in their approach.
We ate here, I know its cheap food but the kitchen assistant over cooked everything to the point where it was inedible.
Large selection of real ales , but as it was warm I opted for lager which was excellent (Tuborg) .
Toilets clean as was the rest of the pub , despite being quite busy.
