The Foresters Arms, Southend-On-Sea

Revisited the pub after a few years and found that it has lost a great deal of it's "Old School" charm. The characters who gave the place its ambience have gone to be replaced by rather officious bar staff. Too heavy a reliance on the strippers and as a result has lost much of its family appeal. Strippers are off the stage and now frot the drinkers. Can be tiresome, but if that's what your looking for then all well and good. Strippers very second rate, not up to London Pub standards. Drinks prices slightly over priced for locale. And for some reason the inside toilets are now closed, so you have to go outside to another building.
