Following several visits over the last few month, we have found the place empty most times with disengaged staff and the beer selection has not been to our taste.
This pub has consistently produced a selection of good beers in good condition and considering the success of the festivals, Beer & Cider with live music during Easter and September with over 30 real ales, there is little more a discerning beer drinker could wish for. The staff are knowledgeable about the beers & you can always request a taster & they will source your favourite beer on request if at all possible. There are always 6 hand pumps all serving top notch ales of which 4 rotate with a constantly changing selection, so there is always 1 you will like. Voted the Pub of the Year 2009 by South East Essex CAMRA you will probably not find such a consistently good selection of beer anywhere locally
