Half Crown in Castle Point

Ambience very good and a very welcoming pub, Food is OKish, but it's pot luck with the rump steak. Couldn't chew mine!

Amazing dog friendly pub, with a great choice of sports to watch. Food is brilliant, this pub has everything you need.

Been to the Half Crown a few times since Christmas and really like it as it has a nice atmosphere. The food is very nice and the staff make you feel welcome and are friendly and helpful. Have taken our dog in there a couple of times and they bring him a bowl of biscuits and water which he loves. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Can't rate the food didn't try but great prices and atmosphere friendly staff and patrons

We have children so getting out for dinner and couple of drinks is difficult without children we have 3 local pubs all opposite eachother. We called half crown one evening asking if we could attend with children as two others stated no children even when all eating a meal. When we arrived on a Saturday evening our table was reserved for us staff greeted us and was welcoming. We ate had a few drinks ended up staying later than we thought as was made to feel welcome my children was made to feel important. Since then we have been a couple of times our children are 5 and 9 we ate lovely food chatted with staff and regulars danced felt very comfortable. No other pub allows or welcomes children and dogs very family friendly

Fantastic little pub, food was lovely and reasonably priced Service was absolutely fantastic, such brilliant staff. Also dog friendly! Lovely little resident Frenchie too 🐕 Thank you!

A great little pub, nice staff, good food at sensible prices. PS small car park.

Food was really good for the price, typical pub grub but really good. The atmosphere was amazing all of the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Our food came out in a good time of 5-10 mins after ordering. Definitely would recommend to anyone. And it's dog friendly which is a bonus.

Decent pub. I was only in there for a couple of hours in the late afternoon. Good service.

Great pub, lovely people, great for food and good for dogs 👍

A nice pub here, very friendly service and decent food, well priced as well and apparently they do cheaper drinks at the beginning of the week! I may upgrade the atmosphere rating in the summer but as I haven't been here in the summer yet, I cannot judge. Would recommend!

Mikie is amazing absolutely made our night came here first time with my girl and really enjoyed our selfs

My son is leaving for Australia. We approached the Half Crown to see if we could host his leaving do. They were extremely accommodating, kids & dogs were allowed. We were able to ring in our own food. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Thank you for making his surprise gathering a success. Jill and family

Amazing place, delicious food 😋

Came in for Xmas drinks and lunch with the family. Excellent pub with great service. Manager Tess was very warm and welcoming . Would definitely recommend to all thinking of visiting !!!

Lovely warm and clean place, feels very festive thanks to all Christmas decorations. Food was served hot and great value for money . We tried hot mulled wine and it was lovely . Family and dog friendly pub which is always a plus especially in this cold weather. All in all great gem definitely worth a visit .

The staff are amazing, I left my wallet on the chair and it was returned to me intact . So very grateful.

The family at the next table were extremely offensive

Great, friendly service would definitely be back

Super fast service. Lovely atmosphere.

Lovely family and dogs friendly pub .

Ashley was amazing at the bar, Jordan was a lovely chef who catered to his customers and the owners were fantastic at accommodating all guests. A fantastic pub and I can’t wait to come back

Great location and food will definitely return as service was friendly and hospitable

Popped in over the weekend, 90’s night and live music on Saturday - just perfect. Tess was brilliant, helpful and accommodating. Defiantly recommend.

The food was delicious 😋 And the Tess was very helpful 100% recommendation 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

We just dropped in prior to eating at the benfleet tandoori for a couple of drinks.The barman was a youngster and wasn't with it,However I know the landlord keeps a tighter ship and normally the service is better

Great pub, very good for watching sport and great food.

Fantastic place. Lovely staff great atmosphere. Great food. Would definitely recommend this place. Gemma

I have visited a couple of times the service is friendly and knowledgeable. I like the fact that they are dog friendly and always have good selection of treats. Tess and Dave are very welcoming.

Food is very good and reasonably priced x

Fantastic little pub, Tess is amazing x

I was served by the wonderful Ashleigh! She was great and very attentive! Will definitely be coming back for their sports nights!

Bar staff very accomadating we stop for a couple on our dog walk.

I was only in for a short time ,but seeded very welcoming, clean, and a great pint of Guinness.

Had lunch here with friends and was not disappointed. Friendly staff and nice food, which was excellent value for money. On the day we visited, it was very quiet (Tuesday), hence 3* for 'Atmosphere' but we will definitely be returning.

There are 3 pubs in the area and this one is my favourite so far. I did visit few times and every time the service is very professional and quick. On few occasions we came with family for lunch or dinner and the food was always cooked perfectly. Enjoyed the Halloween and Christmas special quiz run by Sam - it definitely was fun for everyone. Half Crown is now our local pub for any occasions even if its just a quick drink after walk with our dog 🐕. Thank you and I will definitely see you soon.

Just had the best steak cooked for me here today, top notch cookery from their kitchen compliments to Jordan the chef! Also had a great beer and have a great variety of spirits to choose from especially cazcabel coffee tequila! One of my faves!

Had a meal and a few drinks, staff, food and drink were all excellent.

Absolutely lovely pub with a lovely atmosphere. Great chef who knows how to cook and present the food. Even the steak, cooked to perfection. Thoroughly recommend

Had a great birthday at The Half Crown very friendly service and polite staff. Managers are superb x love that they are kids and pets friendly

Lovely friendly pub with very tasty food especially full English breakfast. Kids and dog friendly too which is a bonus. Great place to pop in have a pint and chat with regulars. Definitely worth a visit. The manager ain’t bad either

Lovely quaint pub, great food, lovely staff

Staff were very friendly, with good service. I find pubs very noisy. Probably due to the music cranked up, so everyone has to talk/shout louder. Unfortunately the outside seating closes at 9pm.

Lovely pub very family friendly. Comfy beer garden out the back. Food very good and great value for money. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Had a lovely lunch in here with my family. Staff were very helpful and food was amazing. Will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and speedy service! Highly recommend a visit - I'll definitely be back soon!

First time visiting the half crown. We booked a table for 11 the night before. The staff were very accommodating and managed to fit us in at the later time we needed. Great atmosphere in there, with very friendly/helpful staff. The staff were very busy but still smiling. Both food and drink were great. Definitely recommend for a relaxed pub meal. Thank you.

Lovely pub in Benfleet, the team were so friendly and attentive. Had lunch midweek and the food was delicious and great value. They have a lot of screens so good for sports and a nice little garden for warmer days. I will be returning for sure, thank you for the great service :)

Great bar service, quick and efficient! Food was lovely! Would definitely recommend!!

Lovely pub great food and friendly staff!

Perhaps not as popular as the Hoy across the road but it is a very nice pub and when they have a band on it's a really good night.

Only popped in for a quick pint. Friendly barstaff and a good selection of ales. Hopefully wil return.

lovely pub! so welcoming, came with my toddler and the guys behind bar were so lovely, didn't feel a nuisance at all.

Typical pub. Food is inviting and nothing bad to say. Staff nice and attentive. Downside is nothing special or go over and above so not worth 5 stars.

Great time is always had at the Half crown, defo recommend great food and drinks

Absolutely amazing pub and efficient staff. Will definitely be back.

Having spent the morning walking through Benfleet Downs, my pupster and I were tired and hungry. Did a quick bit of Googling, read this pub was dog friendly and we popped in. Because pup is a Rottweiler, she is sometimes not welcomed due to misunderstanding of her breed. But this pub did not disappoint. Water and treats provided for my pupster, along with a fuss from the staff. Highly recommended.

Lovely cosy pub. Great service from the bar staff

Just popped in for a swifty before catching a train.

Greatest pub in the fleet. Owners and staff are great. Always welcoming and staff go above and beyond to make your experience excellent. No pub compares.

Great atmosphere and a really good band playing last Saturday night

A great little pub with a big atmosphere. Big screens showing sports and of course, we love the live music as we play there a few times every year. The landlords always make us welcome when we come in either as the band or as a social visit.

Great coffee and friendly service

A great pub. A lovely atmosphere. Situated a short walk from Benfleet station.large public car park a short walk that’s free after 5pm. Lovely staff, great atmosphere Went here on a Friday, which is a karaoke night all the way up to Christmas. Dave the DJ was great. A good singer to.

Lovely staff. Made me feel at home

Been coming to this lovely pub for the last few years. Staff are always welcoming and professional. Whenever within a 40 mile radius of this establishment I plead you to make the journey xx

Big up the chef !! I think his name was Jay top notch

The food was amazing and so was the staff just 10/10 best pub I’ve been to

Great local pub, good selection of drinks great for a quiet drink and bite to eat

Great friendly local pub with a great selection of beers, ciders, spirits & wines. Dog 🐕 friendly which is always a bonus

The staff was lovely and welcoming. Nice food and drinks :)

Had a lovely meal at the Half crown last Monday evening. There were 6 of us, variety of dishes, all cooked well. Service and staff good. Would recommend eating there

Great food drink and staff. Tess is the best landlady ever xxx

Great beer. Great atmosphere. Top staff. Thanks for the bubbly.

What a lovely pub! Nice food, friendly welcome and a spacious garden :)

Had a very nice family lunch steak was delicious and the burger was really good and service was quick and neat. Will eat there again.

Visited the Half Crown yesterday. Booked a large table for a family gathering. Staff were very accommodating, friendly and always on hand to take our orders and check everything was ok. Food arrived in good time after ordering and was great value for money. Love that there are board games available to keep the smaller guests occupied at the table -great idea. Thank you to all the team that served us.
