Paul Pry in Rochford

Very good Sunday roast, excellent value for money.

Booked lunch for a group of 4 - table was ready drinks and food ordered after surprise and delight and the variety and keen pricing of the food. Four different meals ordered and all we absolutely spot on, quality, temperature, quantity and speed of service on a busy Friday. Fantastic, we visited a larger chain last evening apart from the buffet it was no comparison, expensive, lacklustre and disinterested staff. A quick chat with the manager was fantastic the most engaged and positive approach to food and customers - a revelation. So happy to return, soon!

This is our local pub and we have visited frequently for a Sunday roast. It never disappoints, especially today. The beef was lovely and everything else was delicious, we will be back next week!

I use to knock about in this pub in my younger years with all mates, beautiful memories were made in the beer garden and every Friday & Saturday evening. Skip 20 years and I popped back with my husband for a chilled Saturday afternoon drink, he was happy the football was on and I reminisced with a glass of red. Bar staff are super friendly and Luke could even pass as a sommelier. Great atmosphere, family friendly , I just wish I had the kids to hang out in the wonderful garden! Thanks guys!!

Great afternoon, good food and Luke behind the bar was amazing

Great garden and atmosphere with super friendly staff

Great pub, friendly atmosphere and amazing staff! If you want some great drink reconditions and decent food, visit the Paul Pry!

We had a bottomless brunch at the Paul Pry on Saturday & I was really impressed. Luke & the team were constantly checking we had drinks & topped them up which gave us value for money. Highly recommend & we will be back soon!

We went to the Paul Pry yesterday for a bottomless brunch! Such good value, amazing team on hand to ensure drinks were flowing, food was prompt and we had such a lovely time! Amazing value and service! We will definitely be back! Thank you to the whole team

For many years have I Passed this pub on visits to Rayleigh and always wondered if it was any good. Today we popped in for a spot of Lunch and was so not disappointed! It’s not just about the food or the beverage, nor the price and not even the service which was exceptional btw. But it’s about the experience, and what stood out for me was the experience started the very second the front door swung open, greeted by excellent well informed staff we were shown some excellent service, informed of all what’s available, guided to the best deals and promotions, welcomed into a warm friendly atmosphere, was aloud to bring our cockerpoo in (who was instantly given treats and water) food was unbelievably priced and exceptional quality for that price! Yes there were promotions on which we took full advantage of but having perused the main menu you are always gonna get a great deal here. This sublime first class treatment carried on till the moment we left and carried onward with our day. We only popped in for a quick bite to eat……Wow 🤩. Will be back and probably found a new favourite spot morning noon or night! Well done Guys

DO NOT order a seniors meal with dessert unless your prepared to wait AGES

Nice little pub with nice outdoor area

Lovely pub felt cosy, and warm like a proper country pub & nicely decorated, menu had a good selection of reasonable priced yum food . They even put together a full plate of dinner for my dog which included a whole chicken breast, loads of veg & new potatoes at £5.50 it was a nice little treat for my dog Hugo. On arrival I spoke with Luke who was extremely kind & helpful making my whole visit super friendly and welcoming. This is the vibe you want from a pub thankyou Paul Pry 👌🏼.

Love this pub in Rayleigh. Good food and great value. Seniors menu perfect for smaller appetites. Excellent hospitality always a warm welcome for our group of Ladles who Lunch.

First visit yesterday and we will definitely be going back soon

We went here for a Sunday lunch today and it was excellent. The beef was really tender and the turkey the same. The vegetables and potatoes etc were great too, you can never have enough roast potatoes. We are very lucky to have this as our local.

Best service from luke. he was so friendly and made the brunch experience seamless and always made sure we had a full glass!

Love eating out at the Paul pry , food has always been fantastic , we all enjoyed our meals , great price too. Staff are so lovely and friendly , already looking forward to returning. Definitely recommend a visit ……..

Love this pub, very friendly, lovely food, definitely come back again

Good food and service. A great night had by all.

Thanks you Paul pry for organising our birthday meal for my mum Great service and food 😘

Great great pub with very good atmosphere. Food is lovely and staff are great :) xx

A nice roast dinner and lovely rose wine Very busy but was Sunday lunchtime Tables were very close together

Probably the best pub I’ve ever been to staff are great friendly welcoming food great and great atmosphere

Friendly staff Lovely food Great for kids Good all rounder Would recommend Also don’t have to put registration in when there!! 👍

Used to be the best pub in Rayleigh this but they kicked all the youngsters out of Benfleet and thundersley for drug use and they all go here now ,on weekends , full of 20 something cokeheads , who Q up for cubicles to have a blast real shame , tine to find a new regular Sorry guys but someone had to say it ! Maybe I’m just old I dunno , not my bag especially if I’m paying £6 a pint 🍺

decorating the lounge and having to use a small table we decided to eat out, once we'd been allocated a table, ordered drinks and food we didn't wait logn for the food which for a busy sunday evening was good

The service was quite poor. I had booked but nowhere specific to check in nor helped. Chaotic bar. However the food was lovely

Went here based on the menu and others reviews but we were disappointed with the service. No point to go to check in having booked a table. Would be better with note to order at the bar. However the food was lovely

I came here for a mates 21st I was served with excellent customer service by a bartender called Alex her was so friendly and pulled the best pint of fosters.

Mostly good, however the Hunter's Chicken from the Senior Menu was very disappointing. Visited again. Nice place great value food

Nice pub for a pitstop. Good variety of beverages on offer, all to be enjoyed in the garden at this time of year whilst the kids entertain themselves on the play area! 🍻

Really nice pub with plenty of seating both inside and out. A Greene King so good and drink can be ordered via app and delivered to your table. Food was a little sub par but was a very busy night so will put it down to an over worked kitchen. Would recommend

Had a family meal there as well .staff were friendly food fantastic atmosphere brilliant would recommend to anyone..

Very busy bar with a mixture of ages

A lovely friendly pub with a great beer garden. Bartender was very good, offering recommendations and ensuring people were served in a timely fashion. We will be back!

Good food and always a good night out for a drink, and hats off to Luke the man's a genius, had me trying new drinks I'd never of made off my own accord and now have new favourites!! Trust the man!! Extremely helpful and very welcoming

Customer service is great, especially from Luke who’s super friendly and very easy to get on with. 10/10

Couldn't get friendlier and more polite staff, I can honestly say I've never had a bad time in the Pry and would recommend it. Great staff, great service, and competitive prices. The food is always amazing and well cooked. I've never had a bad meal 10/10 every time.

Paul Pry is one of my local pubs, we always meet there. Good beer and good atmosphere

Great pub, outdoor garden, welcome to dogs. Food is up-standard pub grub, but is always to a high standard. Slightly biased as our local but we love Sheril and her Team.

Had a table booked for the whole euro tournament, drinks brought to our table by Sheryl and her really well organised team! Great atmosphere

Visited today for lunch had a great experience and time friendly staff. Good food

A lovely afternoon lunch today, the staff were amazing even helping with a very strange request. Great job.

Great pub & great atmosphere. Cheryl was so welcoming and went out of her way to help everyone. We went on a Euros night so very busy but still great fun.

Excellent place for a drink with lovely staff. Incredible atmosphere for sports coupled with delicious food. Without a doubt the best pub in Rayleigh!

Went to the Paul pry for my 21st birthday!! Was amazing when booking and amazing on the night!! Really friendly and made sure we had the best night!! Thankyou so much!! Couldn’t recommend more for events

Me and my mates came here to watch the euros and the experience was exhilarating. Good drinks, great atmosphere and even better staff, especially Cheryl. Very pleasant and amicable crowd. Will definitely be coming back soon !

Came to dinner on a Monday evening with my Daughter. The pub was fairly busy for a Monday night and the atmosphere was happy and friendly. The bar staff are very polite and friendly. My daughter had the beef and ale pie which was lovely but the star of the evening was the “Burger of the month” the all american burger. It was absolutely delicious. the sort of burger you would get at a great burger pop up.. much better than five guys. Would come back for the burger alone. Thank you to the lovely waiter that looked after us. Didn't catch his name but he was working the lower bar and couldn't do enough for us. Lovely evening, thank you

Great pub friendly, good food, service, very organised. Totally recommend this pub , great atmosphere, lots of sports events shown. Painting evenings, quizzes, DJ, loads more.

Fabulous place. Great atmosphere. I had a wonderful time with my friends. And meeting a new little friend🐕🤩

A really great place to eat, drink & socialise. The food is delicious & very reasonably priced. A special thank you to Luke & Ben who are always so friendly & helpful as are all the other staff, my (some OAP!!) Group of friends are now becoming regulars & would always recommend to others.

Good value lunch from the lunch menu, friendly, cheerful, helpful staff too. Will be returning soon, highly recommend

I visited yesterday and my eye was taken to the Seniors menu. Three courses for £7.99! I had soup of the day, tomato and red pepper. Bangers Mash and peas and finished with chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream. The portions were adequate and the quality good. This is amazing value for money. The pub is comfortable and friendly and yesterday Billy ‘The bar’ was running operations guiding like minded diners through their options. Not Michelin starred but very good value. Oh! I forgot to say the Green King IPA deserved a CAMRA accolade.

Good lively pub with friendly staff and reasonable food

Everything from service to staff was great lovley selection of food and beer.staff all polite.well done Paul pry

Nice pub. Good prices...... but mind your head if you're tall!!😉😂

We have been a number of times to Paul Pry, they have a lovely outside & we were lucky with the weather when we visited, had to wait quite a while for food but was told at time of ordering....nice pub, staff & garden

Tried the halloumi hot honey on flatbreads the other evening. They are amazing. So is the new desserts. Well done to the chef !

Had the pleasure of attending the summer menu launch which was a real treat.Some great new additions to an already fantastic menu. The new flatbreads and loaded fries were delicious . Lovely selections for the summer . Thanks to Sheril and the team fora lovely evening

From the very beginning staff were amazing. They made us feel very welcome and did not rush us at all . My parents had a seniors menu and I had a wrap and my husband had a amazing southern fried burger. The food was piping hot and delicious. My parents had crumble desert. Service and friendliness very absolutely 100% This is a gem of a place. Can't wait to go back

Quick service, great food and very friendly staff. It's a lovely place with a great atmosphere. Can't fault it!

I had my retirement drinks here and the bar staff (2 lads and a lady) were brilliant 👍🏼

Updated... Friday lunchtime... unbelievably slow service. One bar man on. Waited 10mins to get a pint.

I was there with my mates and we had this one worker who was an an absolute star. I think her name was Emily L. She cared for us so much and we were all complimenting her of how good at her job she was. Thank you so much for the service Emily L!

Held my 60th birthday party here. Food was excellent and so was the service. I went with their DJ who was great. Nothing was too much trouble.

We popped in for an impromptu lunch and it was lovely. Not at all busy when we arrived around 12.30, staff were friendly and attentive and food was delivered quickly after ordering and was very nice indeed. Surroundings are pleasant, we sat in the conservatory area but there were also plenty of tables in the main pub area. Food was very nice and very good value - 2 meals with drinks cost less than £20. By the time we left the place was almost full so we definitely arrived at the right time! A very nice lunch and we will definitely return.

Really nice place to go. The outside space is really good but makes me laugh that the small non smoking section is next to the rest which is smoking - like the nasty smell knows to stop there. But at least there's a little separation. Non smokers like to sit outdoors to!

Absolutely disgusting, nothing on menu, everything dry and overcooked, got served rump instead of sirloin, frozen bought in order of the day , should all be ashamed of yourselves, never go back

Well done Paul Pry for putting on the Easter hunt. All the children (and adults) loved it. So much thought went into it to make it special. Been telling people how good it was. Thank you x

Took the kids down to the Paul Pry for the Easter Egg hunt. The girls loved it. Not only did they entertain our little ones but they got to meet the Easter Bunny too and they gave out free activity books. A very nice, warm and welcoming establishment. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice pub really busy during England game

Good atmosphere, food, 😀 able to chat x

Not for the first time, my family & friends enjoyed another excellent afternoon/evening at the Paul Pry. Food excellent, good value drinks, and polite & friendly staff.

Visited on Sunday for lunch. There were 13 of us and it was a birthday/mother's day celebration. Despite being a busy time for them and ours being a large party.. the service was excellent..food was tasty and hot.

My favourite pub in Rayleigh, popped in a couple of Saturday afternoons recently, place was buzzing. Sheril who runs it is always so friendly and accommodating.

Couldn't really fault it, spirits quite cheap too. Only down side was selfish trappy folk constantly holding doors open for long enough periods to get cold...

Thank you so much to all the staff at the Paul pry , I met some friends for lunch and the service and food were great, Sheril the landlady was personally so helpful and brilliant customer service and lovely atmosphere

Pub seemed dirty. Awful smell which we were told was drains?! Terrible smell like chemicals. Food was awful. I chose just the wrap and drink £8.49. Cheapie lunch so not expecting much but it was awful. A tiny piece of chicken in each half of the wrap. Stone cold. A small handful of cold chips and a salad leaf.

Fun place to head to, wasn't happy about the parking when I came out though, couldn't workout how the other driver got out of their car but I was parked in the lines. Very busy car park, chaotic. Drinks were top choices here and food was smaller than I expected but good quality. I would go here again, but maybe let me wife drive next time 😜

Great pub. Fantastic atmosphere. Lots of space. Very friendly and helpful staff

Recently we held a surprise 60th birthday party for a family member and the Paul pry was nothing but perfect and helpful. The atmosphere of this pub is incredible and the staff are all so helpful and friendly. The food we had for our party was delicious and brilliant prices for what you get. I would highly recommend this pub for a party or to just go with your family for a lovely meal out. 100% will return.

Weekday late afternoon so not busy.

Really enjoyable pub which was busy and lively yet absolutely copes with the numbers they have. Didn't have to wait at the bar. Servers really friendly. Venue was busy with regulars and parties etc. Yet nothing suffered per se. Recommend for sure.

Out of loads of food when we went. Wont go again. Car park was crazy.

Great pub. One of the best in Rayleigh

Great pub with a good selection of beers and Food bonus is the car park and location to the high st

Overall, it's a really lovely pub. Made to feel welcome when we came in. Was very busy with families as expected on a Sunday with football on for hubby. Being a Vegi food was average, having the mushroom chilli could have done with a pitta and sour cream for garnish on top, just my preferences. Would come back. Thank you all

Very busy, and a great atmosphere. Full of young lads and lasses.

I’m writing this on behalf of my husband we had such a pleasant experience with the unorthodox but highly effective Mitchell he has the comic timing that just goes down so well his approach may make people shake heads but he can read a crowd and how they will respond a great asset to the team. Food was outstanding and timely even though the venue was busy compliments to the chef and Katie on who delivered our food another great team member I cannot wait to return and have many more great experiences pub humour should never die in this woke age a

Very surprised to find this amazing Pub with all the amazing staff Food was great the atmosphere was amazing 💕💕

Couldn’t recommend enough!! I booked my boyfriend’s surprise 21st birthday and was able to completely decorate the area at the back while also being able to do karaoke at the front of the pub! Such a fun environment and everyone had such a great time! We had the buffet which was amazing and Cheryl was super helpful! So greatful! 🥰😊

Really nice pub, lots of cosy nooks and crannies to sit in. Food was great - hunters chicken, katsu curry and beef and ale pie. Good sized portions too. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.

I came here for lunch, it was lovely! The food was delicious and hot. I had the burger. Prices were so reasonable and portion sizes are great! The service we received from Mitchell was excellent thank you very much and we’ll definitely be returning to try more of the menu.

10 minutes before our booking we are called that we aren’t able to attend anymore as they have a huge party no one knew about and our table was cancelled. Wasted money on cab fare is here and now having to pay out extra to go somewhere else. Guy on the phone was just like oh sorry. Ridiculous.

Had a family meal to celebrate a birthday. The food was lovely, portion size was generous and the service was great. We will definitely go again.
