The Half Moon in Rochford

Ive just started to go to spread eagle once a month on martin day night.ive never had such good night was brilliant the bar staff are amazing and so is the dj

We booked for Boxing Day and everything was all ready and waiting on arrival and was advised there had been a slight accident with a pudding but we were offered alternatives and this was sorted straight away. The staff were all very polite and helpful and all the food was brought out on time and no complaints. We do this every year with our family at the Anne Boylen and we are never disappointed

Not a bad pub, decent range and OK staff.

Last night was my second visit to The Punch Bowl and on both occasions the meal, service and atmosphere have been bloody amazing. The drive out to the pub itself takes you through some of the more rural parts of Essex. It’s remote enough to make you wonder whether you’ll actually ever arrive but close enough to surrounding towns to make it well worth the visit (just 25 minutes from where we are in Leigh). You’re greeted by the friendliest staff you could hope to meet and are immediately made to feel at home before being taken to your table and looked after the entire time. If cosy, traditional country pub is your vibe you can’t get much better and after a couple of hours sat down with friends, eating amazing food and drinking great wine it’s incredibly hard to leave. It’s worth mentioning that The Punch Bowl do NOT automatically add a service charge to their bills and they also only accept tips in cash so take some with you because you’ll be kicking yourself if you leave without rewarding the service. The waiting staff are out of this world 😊

Didn't have food, hence no rating. Haven't been to Rayleigh for some time, but had the pleasure of spending just over an hour today there at lunch time. What a proper pub. All ages represented and a warm welcome from the excellent bar staff. Friendly atmosphere and enjoyed our Guinness and Bacardi / diet cokes sat where the 2 bar areas meet. Wish we lived nearer and best wishes. Cliff & Lauraine.
