Unpretentious pub with regular bands and musicians. Don't have their own food but have arrangement with local takeaway who deliver to the pub. But the best part is the outside deck which looks straight down the river with fantastic sunsets

This is a nice pub near the shores of the river Crouch. It's quite small but drink prices are reasonable and they do need more bar staff as there was quite a wait at the bar. They have a lady's mouth as the urinal in the gents which gives rise to am interesting conversation. There was a live band when I was there and they were quite good, but for me it was too loud.

The Smugglers Den, full to bursting with live gig events. Located beautifully with seating on the waters edge, adjacent to local nature and woodland. The Smuggler Den management, staff and locals are friendly bunch, welcoming and a pleasure to know. Overall a very enthusiastic place, and an atmospheric pub on event nights. Family and live music venue all good people are welcome including happy dogs! Cheers🥂🍻

Not been to the Smugglers for many years and I don't recall it being anything special. How different now, a great selection of drinks, excellent bar staff, especially Matt, and the outside seating area by the river is a fantastic relatively new addition. Definately on my regulars list now.

Describes itself as cosy and casual. When you get here its smaller and cosier than you might anticipate. They've also had a change in menu in that they no longer serve food. It's alright for a quick beer, or if you are a local. If you were looking for something with more, then look elsewhere!

I thought I would give this pub the benefit of the doubt and try it again but unfortunately it's still no better. We got talking to another couple and they said the barmaid was rude, I said yeah she was rude when we came here last. I don't know if she is the owner or a barmaid, either way she needs lessons in customer service. The food on the other hand was good however I won't be visiting this pub again whilst this owner/barmaid is still there

On our second visit we were pleasantly surprised that the soup was wonderful. When we visited a year ago, the soup was far to spicy which is why we didn't return for a year.
