A nice micro pub within easy distance of Prittlewell, which I was visiting. Love pints of 5 Points Bitter on cask at the time; shame about the England football performance being shown on a big screen! 😱

Pros: Good selection of craft beers which were well keep Barmaids were very friendly and helpful and could recommend good beer The locals / regulars seemed friendly and welcoming There was a diverse crowd of different classes and backgrounds Cons; There were too many steps to navigate down after a few drinks The place felt a bit too crowded even for a micropub

Recently visited on a Saturday afternoon with husband and the dog. They are very dog friendly here, even have dog biscuits on the bar. It is only a small bar so seats are of a premium. They have a single unisex toilet, which is lovely and clean. They have a great choice of beers and ciders in the fridge and on tap, which changes regularly. Enjoyed a good few before moving on to the next bar. They have recently been taken over by the people that run craftwerk in town, which makes for a really pleasant visit.

Lovely selection of beers. Went here on a Saturday evening after Southend United had been playing at home so it was busy, but still got a seat with the pups, and service was swift. They now have a downstairs bar but we didn’t visit as we were able to get a seat upstairs. Great choice of cans and draft, and are dog friendly so ticks all the boxes for me!

Great atmosphere. Lots of locals. Will is a brilliant host. Very keen on British wine, which was enlightening. Westcliff doesn't have a lot of great pubs but this one, though tiny, is a haven. It's probably perfectly sized for the clientele but I'd love to see it take over more pubs. We need more places like this!

Lovely little tap with a good assortment of real ales and promoting local micro breweries. Situated in an old municipal WC space is limited, but atmosphere in abundance.

Visited here at lunchtime on a Saturday. It wasn't particularly busy so we got served very quickly. I'm guessing it may be different when Southend United are at home! They have a nice selection of beers and ciders- I enjoyed a lemon IPA (draft) and a Peach Iced Tea Sour (can) and snacked on a kabanos and some nuts. We sat outside, although inside is also dog friendly. They have an outside tap and bowls which is great for the pups in warm weather. The lady at the bar was friendly. Will return.

Love it here, it's a little old converted toilet but don't be put off by that. Its a quirky little bar selling excellent craft beers and ciders. They have pop up food every so often. A right little treat for Westcliff Update 10/12/22 Still 100% recommended this place, beers are constantly changed, warm, friendly, great place to have a few different ales with like minded people Update 24/3/23 Just had a lovely couple of beers in Tap this evening. Lovely to see it busy tonight. Great beers and a great atmosphere. Everyone must go to this place.

This place goes from strength to strength. The beer range is amazing, with new beers to try pretty much every visit. The event nights are superb. Keep an eye out for a beer tasting night and book quickly or you'll miss out. If you're really into your beer, this is the place for you and if you're not, it's the place to learn about it. Pricing is insanely reasonable too. This is definitely a "don't miss it" experience.

We had my husband’s 40th birthday party in the Bunker as a private hire. It was brilliant! It was the perfect venue for a chilled and intimate do. They don’t have catering which was actually great as we could just bring along a few platters that were inexpensive. They had a great choice of wine and spirits as well as excellent beer, the staff were fab, would definitely recommend hiring and would happily do so again.

Not so good as a bottle shop, since the cans/bottles are at bar prices. Small-ish selection, small chiller, but I managed to buy quite a few good, vegan beers to take away. There were three cask beers and four keg taps for on-site consumption. Small seating area indoors on stools.

Firstly, the staff are great and the place is very clean. This makes the experience much more enjoyable. The food was 'OK' though the bacon sandwich I had could have profited massively from a bit more bacon. The food is what you would expect from a cafe. Inexpensive, clean and a good place to eat.

Party of 12 mature friends visited here on Saturday afternoon/evening. Were having a lovely time, great atmosphere, waitresses brilliant, spent a small fortune as this place isn't cheap. Then we had to deal with the owner's aggressive, rude behaviour, who decided it was time for us to leave as we weren't ordering drinks quickly enough. He has since had the audacity to accuse us of drug taking due to receiving a poor review. Benidict you should be ashamed of this accusation and should take a long look at you customer relations. We won't be coming back.

Visited for brunch; due to the eye watering prices only had coffee and left. Decor is quirky and ambience is nice but seriously, it’s cheaper to eat brunch at The Ivy. I fail to see how £16.50 can be justified for a chicken/avo wrap unless it’s actually garnished with gold leaf and mermaid’s tears. Coffee was decent, but found good food nearby at half the price.

This is honestly the best restaurant we've been to in years! The food was delicious with very generous serving of gravy and beans for a more than reasonable price! Our server (a lady with dyed hair and possibly in her 20s) was super kind and went beyond her job giving us other vegan recommendations and was so lovely to talk to. Only wish we lived close so we could visit here more often! Wouldn't mind if the prices were higher as it is so good!
