Pleasant and comfortable Gray & Sons pub with a friendly atmosphere. Unusually for the area, there is normally a Harveys beer available, as well as Brewers Gold, Tribute and three changing beers. There are several TV screens, which mostly show sports matches, and an outside smoking area. Cribbage and other card games are available. All in all, a pub that is well-worth a visit. South West Essex CAMRA Branch (Essex Area) Pub of the Year 2023, 2021 & 2018.
