Be surprised if this is here in a years time. Not that it was totally without its charms.
A basic village boozer that seems to be missing the village. To give you an idea of the decor/ambiance - the gents khazi was bust, but a hand written sign showed you could use the ladies.
An elderly landlord was interrupted from his facebooking by his first sunday customers of the day. A couple of CAMRA awards from the early 2000s suggested at former glories and true enough, he delivered a beautiful pint of Goachers Gold Star - having pulled through and tipped away the first offerings.
We stayed for over an hour and just one more punter came in.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Angel
A basic boozer, located on the edge of the former Rainham Dock brickfields (now mostly orchards and horse paddocks). Partly opened-out to leave a reversed 'J'-shaped layout, with two seating areas around the central servery (the one to the left continuing to the pool table area) and a smaller return to the right with just enough space for the dartboard and oche. Greene King Yardbird (£3.80) and the more local Goacher's Gold Star available from two of three handpumps. NB - The locals seem keen on 'industrial language', so perhaps something to bear in mind if visiting with anybody squeamish.

Redecorated, both inside and out. Goacher's Goldstar is now on permanantly, together with two changing ales. I had both Goldstar and Piston Broke from Box Steam brewery. Both were in top condition. Friendly bar staff and the locals like a natter and a bit of 'banter. Worth my visit.
