I wish I could pack this pub up and transport it to London with me…read more Not sure how much of a 'scene' there was in Southend, through trawling the internet we found Hush bar and this place. Approaching we nearly turned around. Slightly out of the main shopping area this place looked like a dodgy local boozer with hanging baskets. Getting closer I spotted the dazzling lights of a disco ball and I knew we were in the right place. This place is awesome. Pool table, check. Clean, check. Good selection of booze, including a non-alcoholic beer for the Mrs, check. Cheesey tunes, check. Fabulous and friendly staff, check. Lesbians, check. I have to especially say to the guy behind the bar when we went who was an utter delight. Letting us know the places to go an be seen. Even remembering my order. Toto, we're not in London anymore.

Haven't had the food recently, so I can't comment, but the menu is 'standard pub' and I would expect it to be reasonable. Pet hate? Singularly the worst pint of Guinness I have ever tasted in Essex, possibly England. Badly poured, and completely tasteless.

The staff are friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. The food is good but not great but I go for the surroundings. In winter you can sit in front a roaring log fire and is summer in the peace of the garden. It does get busy of an evening. The pub runs the camping field next door but it is a incredibly peaceful pub to have a quiet lunchtime drink.

The steaks are wonderful and excellent value for money, coming on a massive plate with loads of sides, well cooked and seasoned. Equally, the mixed grill was even a challenge for my dad, famed for his abillity to consume vast amounts of meat. However, the welcome is often chillier than the beer, which I have had served at room temperature, and this brings the score down a lot.

We were in a group with a small baby and they asked the mum if she would like any milk or food heated up which I thought was a nice touch.
