Legra Tap & Kitchen in Southend-on-Sea

When two such names as Leigh on Sea Brewery and Black Circus Food collide you know you've got a total winner. There's always an incredible menu on offer that's supported by wonderful beers! Service is always second to none too

Great beers and friendly staff. Terrific food too. Well worth a visit.

We hired Legra Tap & Kitchen for a family private event in February. We would like to extend our gratitude for the way the manager Terry and his staff went out of their way to accommodate our family. A mention to Rhys who took our original enquiry and moved it forward. Nothing was too much trouble and all communication was with thought and kindness. This was from re-arranging tables etc. and looking after guests on the day. We decided on the cold buffet option which was really nice and well received by all our guests. I would not hesitate to recommend Legra Tap & Kitchen to anyone looking to hire a venue. Jill and Max

Came for the kids Easter do. It was eggcellent. Service was on point and most importantly the kids had an absolute blast with face paint and decorating eggs. Very rarely do reviews but this was worth it! The only thing missing..... Get a gate on the entrance so the kids can run about and the parents don't stress

Imagine being both the best place to eat and drink in this part of Leigh. Everything we've eaten has been so delicious, and it's such a novelty being able to enjoy so many different local drinks. Service is absolutely faultless, everyone is so friendly and accommodating! We have to come more!

Highly recommended! Bought all my family here and they absolutely love it! I’m a connoisseur of food and this is one of my favourite restaurants ! I’m fussy but I have no complaints when I eat here! ✔️clean and hygienic ✔️staff lovely and friendly and couldn’t do more for you ✔️the food is delicious and great quality ✔️well priced for what you get ✔️ variety to choose from ✔️ lovely atmosphere ✔️kid & dog friendly Well worth a try and then you’ll be like me hooked x

Nice family friendly pub. The food is nice, there's a bunch of drinks, beers and wines options to choose and the service is quite good too

Lovely place, tasty food, great selection of drinks, staff is really friendly and nice. Dogs allowed and very welcoming.

Far better than the previous incarnations, nice not to modern feel and nice group of people. Shame about the place down the road that takes the crown

Lovely pub, service was great and nice and local with great selection of Ciders

Awesome food, great choice of beer and dog friendly. Love it!

Came here for dinner, the menu was very limited and when the food arrived it was disappointing. Seems to be just frozen battered food deep fried and served, nothing special. Good selection of beer and ale however.

This place is a little gem, we had a family meal for my daughters 18th birthday and we couldn't have picked a better place. The food was amazing not only in taste but value too, all our allergies/preferences were catered for, food came out quickly and hot considering we were a very large group. The staff couldn't be more helpful, had colouring for the children and a fantastic range of drinks. Will definitely be back

Food last night for valentines was lovely. Bit of wait for food, but the wine with the set menu went down well while we waited and the food was delish and super fresh when it was served up. Great value and the live singer was a nice touch 👌

Reasons to love: very friendly, monster hot dogs (maybe too monster) and spicy selection of food if that’s your thing - no pretence at being ‘gastro’ as such but fresh, tasty street/festival/pub food; big selection of ales and decent wine (refreshing change from standard pub Pinot and Chardonnay) and very dog friendly - so much so that Daphne the dog automatically turns in when walking by - this is wholly the fault of my son I will add. Things that could be better? I don’t actually like spicy food so maybe more options that aren’t and please bring in the fishy things that the kitchen has provided in the past/externally - absolutely delicious…. Especially the cockle popcorn that came and went so quickly when it opened!

Usual Friday evening drop in for a quick drink. Love the friendly atmosphere and and service and the beer.

Great food, beer and great service as always. Highly recommend

Interesting place. Friendly and knowledagble bar staff, but was lacking atmosphere when I called (it was a very wet and stormy day and there were few people about). Probably better under different circumstances.

Delicious food - one of the best burgers I’ve had in Essex and the Korean fried chicken is juicy, flavoursome and tender. Great range of local beers, a new favourite IPA!

Recently just been having drinks, but have previously eaten food, Leigh on Sea Brewery are a great local brewery, with a huge selection of beers ranging from pales, ipas, ales, and some guest beers. You will find something to drink. Plenty of street parking, plenty of seating.

Shocking experience - ordered lunch, ORDER WAS TAKEN only to be told 10 minutes later that we'd have to wait at least an hour for food!! Service was abysmal, confrontational and very rude. If your open from 12pm perhaps you need to think about serving food before 3pm...what a joke!!! The response from the owner is poor...I came the previous day to when I left my initial review and oddly, ordered food for lunch at 1pm & it turned up 10 minutes later. If you're relying on customers to look at your website for the oddities about when you decide to serve food, then make sure it's consistent. And BTW I have never come across ANY restaurant, pub or cafe that makes a decision to serve lunch after lunchtime at 3pm, let along the appalling way we were spoken to by your staff!!! Southend and Leigh are fully of good places to eat, where not only do they serve lunch AT LUNCHTIME, but they make sure their staff are trained approoriate to do their jobs...so we'll be eating in these places, and not Legra Tap (and so called) Kitchen.

Absolutely brilliant night out. Wine tasting and quiz night. I tried two of the beers on tap suggested by very knowledgeable barman, pier train and lovely. Liked them both. Quite different. One bitter and the other sweeter. Restaurant was clean and roomy with pleasant and friendly waitresses. Loos were clean and well serviced.

We have paid a number of visits to the Legra since it opened, most recently in August. Not big craft beer drinkers, although I’m partial to a pale ale or a cool cider, but the wines options are good to accompany a meal. The service is consistently excellent, importantly so is the food, and it’s great value. Tacos or the burger being our norm, but must try the chilli on its own as it’s great with the tacos. Everything is fresh and full of flavour. It’s easy to over order as the food is plentiful, particularly if you have side dishes or starters. Well worth a visit. The only downside is it can get loud at times, and acoustically, particular out the back, it could be improved. A lot of that is down to who is in and how long they’ve been there though :-))

So nice to see something different appearing to be going so well. Loved the atmosphere, dogs and families being welcomed was great and a big selection of unusual drinks

Good beers, good vibes, knowledgeable staff.

Absolutely smashing roast dinner, definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Great place.. Staff really helpful.. Food excellent... Make sure you go there hungry..

First trip, good food, beers always good. Waitress very pleasant.

Great beer. Need to try the food.

First time here made welcome. Had ramps for wheelchair so very good. Good food and beer. We really enjoyed it there. Will be back soon. Highly recommended. Plus has free meals for kids in week. 🤩👍🏻

Brilliant local bar! Really welcoming vibe, lovely staff and great drinks selection. They do a really good pub quiz too every couple of weeks!

This place is great! Lovely atmosphere with music in the background and not overpowering. There's lots of seating outside and the inside is deceptively big! Rhys on the bar (apparently known as the bearded beauty) is really knowledgeable on the drinks available and so polite! The food was great too I recommend the loaded nachos, loaded fries harrissa popcorn chicken and the prawn crackers with firecracker sauce. Tilly served us with food and was equally attentive she made sure we had everything we needed. It's also child and dog friendly! The whole experience with manners, service and attention to detail is beautiful to be part of.

A bit disappointed. The bar staff were very pleasant but had little idea about the beers on offer. More of a pub that Craft 'Tap'.

Lovely pub in Leigh on sea,a great range of beers from the Leigh on Sea brewery

Fantastic range of local brews, excellent service, if you go to bar you can taste before you buy. Sunday lunch great ut would like them to change menu more often, then we will go more often!

Reece and Tilly were amazing, the service they provided was above and beyond. Definitely recommend

Popped in for a couple of beers and some dinner. Great selection of locally brewed ales and lagers with some ciders as well. Food was well presented with great portion size for the money paid

Good selection of food. Went on fathers day for the first time so may explain some of the following issues. App was having issues so had to order from bar. Tables outside were left for ages before being cleared. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Great food, lovely ales, nice chilled atmosphere, lovely garden out the front, bit ut dies get v busy on warm days

Saw this place from the road and decided to give it a try! Sat in the lovely shaded garden and shared the amazing Korean tacos as well as sampling the BBQ! Great food, attentive friendly staff and lovely inside too. Will definitely be back!

We dropped in for a drink and something to eat. Food was great. Fresh and spicy tacos. The waitress Tilly was lovely and the barman was bearded and beautiful! We’ll go back again and again!

We visited for the first time Monday and loved it. Have been recommending alday today whilst at work.

First time visit last night and a fantastic place, lively and friendly, great beer and lovely food

Friendly staff and a great selection of beers.

We went on a Sunday and we a bit disappointed that there wasn't a roast dinner option - however the options they had were delicious and we really enjoyed what we ordered. The staff were so helpful and let us move into a corner so my son didn't get overwhelmed. We enjoyed it so much we went back the following day for the tacos and they were amazing too. Good choices of wines/beers as well.

A wonderful refurbished pub, used to be The Harry. Serving great craft beer and delicious quirky international street food.

All the family enjoyed the experience, I had the mexican tacos, which were very tasty , the fries are very good. All this complemented by a great range of beers and ciders etc. The staff are efficient and friendly.

What a lovely place, beautiful beer, stunning food, superb atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and welcoming, highly recommended!

Nicely done up. Good range of beers. Friendly staff. Nice snacks. Nice patio to sit outside. Toilet nice and clean. All good.

Fantastic roast dinner. The shin of beef wellington was a delight. The option of vegetarian pumpkin wellington did not disappoint. So much flavour and everything was cooked to perfection. This was backed up with the best chocolate browny and ice cream. We sampled a few of the local beers, so many to choose from we could have stayed all night. The friendliest of staff, chatty smiley and happy to be there. Dogs are welcome which always adds a calming atmosphere. Great value for money. Will be recommending and returning again by soon. Thanks again @legratapandkitchen.

Popped in on a Sunday and had some great food. The staff were all really helpful and the place had a lively atmosphere. Not a fault found

Great place. Quiz night on a Wednesday is a treat. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and large selection of local brewery beers. Quiz just the right level of challenge. Most enjoyable experience

The food is always amazing and the staff are always super friendly and helpful! i loooovveeddd the taco night! Can't wait to come again!!

Food was absolutely delicious, tacos in particular and everyone working there were so friendly and helpful.

Amazing place, great food, good service and a relaxed atmosphere. We'll be back for many more Sunday roasts!

I had originally posted quite a negative review of this new pub/bar/restaurant as I had been anxiously been awaiting its opening as it is a few minutes walk from my house. I attended on the opening night and while they had made the place much more attractive then the old Harry I was very disappointed with the beer as it was following the American trend for over flavoured/hopped IPA etc. Ok it wasn't designed for me and I guess I wasn't their target market. The table only service also really put me off. I am delighted to report that they have changed their business model and I now I love the place. The aspects I love the most are: they always have two first class ales on cask, the bar and restaurant staff are really good (particularly Ellie and Terry who are stars of the show), my dog is always made welcome, there is a nice buzz about the place, when its sunny it nice to sit outside in the spacious seating area, the foods great too. Anyhow, its splendid to be proven wrong about this place and find out that I am a devoted fan.

Great venue with dining options and pub style at the front! Good offering on food, which is very reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly & helpful!

Had a lovely lunch a few weeks ago with friends I had the vegi tacos 🌮 , followed by the vegan brownie . Food was excellent as was the cider. I had the white peach 🍑 still cider, recommend by the waitress, this was so good and easy to drink. Definitely going back again!

I went with my husband for a drink and some food we were both very impressed. The firecracker prawn taco’s were really good and my husband enjoyed the local brew. Going to try the Sunday roast next!

The food in this place is amazing! ! I had the prawn taco's and my friend had the chicken, both were absolutely delicious and packed full with flavour.. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and service. The beer is great too!

Amazing food, Hard working friendly staff!! All round great place to visit!!! The Tacos are so delicious, with a side of loaded fries! Everything so fresh and full of flavour.

Great food, great beers, great quiz night. Perfect place for a meal out with family or friends or just a couple casual beers. Love that they’re dog friendly too 😍

Brilliant place for a top quality pint, don't be fooled into thinking 'Legra' is solely for eating, the front area is bar service and excellent for a 'session'.... And you're spoilt for choice, with an array of top quality well looked after beers and ciders to try, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about what's currently on offer, and if you're unsure about a beer you can try a small sample before you buy!

Always a great place to visit. The food is amazing and all the staff are brilliant. If you enjoy good beer made locally, then this is it.

Great food and craft beers. The burger was awesome and loved the selection of tap beers. Will definitely be back!

Great food and good drinks selection, highly recommend 🍻😁

I’ve been here many times with the lads, to try the new and existing exhibition of craft beers. This was the time that I had to introduce this restaurant and bar to my wife and kids after a family bike ride. We were actually pleasantly...

Great food, great beers what more do you want. Love it

Superb craft beer establishment that can't be pigeon-holed as a pub or restaurant but does both really well. Awesome beers, tasty menu with lovely staff and atmosphere.

Great choice of craft beers and though we only had bar snacks..nachos / fries etc, the food was good , overall a vast improvement on the previous establishment would highly recommend. Will return to try the burgers etc.

Great Sunday lunch with family. Excellent food, tasted home made - great Beef Shin Wellington and vegetables. Friendly service. Few menu choices for a main meal and quite pricey for a local restaurant. Good children's menu. Prices a little misleading - we thought the main course cost included dessert as they weren't priced separately. Despite all this we would return and would like to try the snack menu which looks amazing!

10 of us had a top quality Sunday lunch, that was enjoyed by all ages. The service was perfect, the atmosphere was great. Will be back

quality drinks.. quality service.. quality time

Excellent Sunday lunch as always. Great food, great beer, great staff. ❤️

Artisan beer and mexican taquitos and fries yes, it was absolutely delicious combo😋🍻 Definitely kids friendly and pets too‼️Great👍 Fantastic service helpful, friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back and recommend‼️

Great local bar/kitchen, owned and operated by a local leigh on sea brewery. Fantastic flavoursome food 👍, simple but tasty.😁 An extensive range of micro brewery beers🍺 not your usual pub selection. Now open until 11pm at weekends😟 and table service only, so no bar to lean on🤦‍♂️get in early early or reserve a table. Recommended 👌 Possibly the busiest venue on a Saturday evening in the area🤪

Great selection of local beers, very good street food style menu and very friendly helpful staff.

Great beer selection, staff are friendly and helpful. Dog friendly and really tasty food

Was pleasantly surprised by this local gem! Great food, great beer, lovely staff. What more do you want 🙏

What a great place where both beer and food are at the top of their game.

Good atmosphere, pleasantly busy, staff friendly, wine quite pricey but a decent Shiraz. Decor could be improved, in my view, but would definitely go again

Full disclosure - prior to Legra Tap opening I’d long been a fan of Black Circus Food who run the kitchen, and of LOS Brewery and it’s beers. The two joining forces to open a pub is a stroke of genius. Great selection of beers, and there’s always some limited edition ones too. The menu changes up frequently - but some staples are must-haves. The tacos are amazing, loaded fries, and the Mac and cheese. Great vibe, quick table service too.

Lovely ambience. Staff very friendly. Will happily come again.

Great selection of real ales, food is great and it's dog friendly too.

Fantastic local beers and amazing food. Service could be a tiny bit smoother but otherwise great! The food here isn't like anything else in leigh, very original and serious flavours

Really great atmosphere, fantastic beer / cider menu and great food! Service was good too. I can see why you have to book. I’m making it my mission to try all the beers, so will be back! Great place

Just left here but needed to say what a fantastic place. The staff are absolutely fantastic and so friendly. Was made to feel welcome from the moment we walked in to when we left. Food was so good. Definitely will return

Great beer, friendly staff, and a generally pleasant atmosphere

My wife and I went to Legra Tap for lunch and a couple of drinks on a Friday and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The service was friendly and fast, the beers on tap were very tasty and the food was delicious. We...

Fantastic food and an outstanding collection of beers available.

Excellent pub since the new company took over. Excellent staff really friendly and helpful. The beers and food was really nice. I would highly recommend

Visited a couple of weeks ago and felt that the food was not the same quality as when the bar opened but thought we would try again. Drinks and atmosphere were good but the food is now overpriced for the quality. Too much sauce etc to cover up the lack of filling in the tacos and again too much sauce on the nachos to disguise the lack of cheese and other ingredients you would expect. Shin of beef sub was ok but the roll didn't seem to complement the plate. So disappointing as it was good to have a local pub within easy walking distance.

Enjoyed a meal in November 2022 with a group of friends and had a thoroughly great time. The food is exceptional and a great choice. I recommend the soft shell crab burgers.

I had heard good things about this place and they certainly delivered. Fantastic Beef Wellington Roast, and all the sides were so delicious. Will definitely be returning. Great service and drinks too. Suitable for children too, they have highchairs and a children's menu. Looking forward to returning.

Best roast dinner ever ! Very crispy potatoes and delicious dessert !

Food average but atmosphere and beers really nice

Well what an amazing lunchtime experience. We have come to visit friends and they took us here for lunch. Six of us had a meal I had the belly pork bao with loaded fries and it tasted so good. Our waiter Harry (with the nice...

Went yesterday with friends for the second time. the food was really nice and different. The loaded fries are to die for. The choice of beers and ciders are amazing. Staff were lovely.

Food brilliant Service brilliant Locality brilliant What a incredible transformation of this establishment!!

What a lovely surprise. Spent a very chilled out lunch enjoying a mix of their tortillas which were really delightful. I opted for 2 Japanese shrimp and 1 chicken, whilst my friend picked a mix of the 3 Mexican and they were all quite delicious...
