A fantastic micropub selling it's own beers from st George's brewery at wakering plus many guest ales. I've never had a dodgy pint in there !no food, apart from bar snacks but believe they allow takeaways from local food outlets to be eaten inside .worth a visit .

Love this place. Not my local but the choice is great, prices reasonable and love the updated decor. If you like your ales, this is a must! As long as you open to more than standard lagers, this is a place to go, if only for the retro tabletop video game consol they have.

I really liked it in here. Doesn't look much from the outside as it is essentially a converted shop, but once inside it's a cosy space with great local beers brewed in Essex and an interesting non-standard snack selection. Felt like a really good natured locals establishment, which is fine by me.

We went for a nice drink with our dog only to be treated very rudely by the manager/owner! He had already been rude to other customers who had walked out earlier when we were just sitting with our dog who sat next to us and some other customers across from us asked if they could say hello we said yes and our dog went across only a few steps to say hello on our command at which point he said that we have to hold her on the lead even though she was on a lead. He at the same time was having a go at other clients who were sitting with their lovely dog next to them trying to tell them to move their dog who wasn’t blocking anyone’s way and his manner was very rude in the tone of voice he used. He then accused our dog of being not well behaved as well as the other dog when both dogs were brilliantly behaved and on leads and will only listen or move on the owners commands. If this owner/manager does not like dogs and cannot deal with them especially well behaved dogs then they should not be a dog friendly pub when he is on duty!!!! We have been there before where there has been many dogs and it was very welcoming but in this instance it was not welcoming or dog friendly at all!!! Such a shame as it use to be a great little pub!

Bitter sweet visit tonight I’m really sad to say. It’s my birthday today (yeah me!) and as my hubs and I have done on lots of occasions, we took our baby girl (8mth Bernese) with us for a drink. Owner came to us to tell us to keep her on lead. We always do, she’s a fabulous pup but she’s a tank so we are careful about her socialisation and every ones safety. He then got into an awkward row with another dog owner. At the point where we heard him say he was going to ban all dogs, we drank and left. To all the patrons past, if our girl has ever upset you, if we’ve let her off lead (I’m genuinely convinced we’ve not but accept criticism if we have) I wholeheartedly apologise. We loved coming here with her, loved her meeting people and of course Casey 🥰 I’m really upset this has happened on my birthday, but I can’t ever visit this pub again. It’s not dog friendly and that’s fine for any pub to be but if we’ve been the problem I’d have preferred a better approach on the numerous times we’ve been there than my birthday today. Whilst I’m here, for what it’s worth, the bar staff are absolutely awesome. We’ll miss you xxx

Unfortunately I’ve had a bad experience, I tried to sort my issue out directly with them sending pictures and emails but they can’t help, I spent £75 on a cake and was very disappointed and to my embarrassment so were my 20 guest ! The cake was very stale and the sponge was tough / harden ! Tasted like it was a week old ! Everyone couldn’t believe the quality I got for £75 they said I should contact them which I did and they can only help if I returned the cake , how ridiculous as it was cut up , spat out and thrown ! I’ll stick to m&s as they’re always moist just gutted with my experience,looks like I’m not the only one who was served stale cake ! I only leave bad reviews on company’s I’ve spent a lot of money on and have been treated unfairly and no obviously I don’t want 20% of my next order ! Why would I spend more money when my first £75 cake was stale 😡

With Southend having limited options for halal dining, this is a good choice. The experience the first time I visited was a nice. The food is decent, and the staff on shift were very friendly and welcoming, leaving me wanting to come back. However, my second visit was less impressive. I went with a group of 15 to celebrate my brother's birthday, and the server seemed visibly irritated, both in his facial expressions and tone of voice. Despite this, I wouldn't discourage others from visiting, as the server might have just had a bad day. Overall, I think it's worth trying for a casual meal.
