Blue Scrumpy left this review about Olde Trout Tavern

The Olde Trout Tavern is situated close to the centre of Southend and near to Victoria railway station. It is a corner pub that feels light and airy inside. There is a stone tiled floor, multiple flags on the ceiling, a games machine and a jukebox. Toilets are reached via a corridor to the rear, lined with dozens of pumpclips. There also appeared to be an upstairs room, which I did not explore but which is possibly used for functions. TVs were off, in favour of music and the pub hosts quiz nights. A wifi code is provided.

The pub can be found in the Good Beer Guide and there are 4 handpulls on the bar. The house beer is called Trout Ale, which is a rebadged Black Box Landing Gear. 2 guest beers were both from Wanstum - SS Richard Montgomery & Session Mild. The fourth handpull was clipped with 2 Snail's Bank ciders - Apple Hog & Fruit Bat. On keg were Anspach and Hobday London Black & Thornbridge Jaipur. The only food option was the well promoted toasties.

There were plenty of locals in for my Monday afternoon visit and I found the barmaid to be friendly and efficient. Certainly one of Southend's better pubs.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Olde Trout Tavern

An alehouse of sorts, although looking a bit more like a café at the front (and a fish and chips shops from a distance). Perhaps twice the size of a typical micro-pub at ground-floor level, but there's also an upstairs room by the look of things. The 'house' Trout Ale from Wantsum, Greene King's London Glory and Golden Fez from Mighty Oak (£4.30) plus a Snails Bank cider available from the four handpumps. Thankfully my beer was in better shape than the atmosphere, which was very flat on a Sunday afternoon.

Quite light and bright and full of life. Not necessarily a traditional pub (very much feels like a shop or restaurant conversion) and is fairly plain but perfectly acceptable, with further seating upstairs. At the bar were three cask ales and a cider. They do jugs of beer so I slipstreamed behind one just out, meaning another excellent pint of George's Brewery, this time the Wallasea (fair to say that I was getting a taste for their old skool bitters by now) which shook the Richter scale at NBSS 4.5 - so well-worth the GBG slot. 7.5
