Harden's survey result
Summary
This “lovely old Essex pub” with a white wooden facade serves food that is “well above average for pub grub” – and its popularity means it “gets overcrowded and noisy” at times. Originally three weavers’ cottages from 1460, the building was converted two centuries later using beams salvaged from naval vessels docked at Tilbury. Top Menu Tip – “the skate wing is delicious”.
Summary
This “lovely old pub” – a timber-fronted fifteenth-century building with brick fireplaces – has a “well deserved reputation as one of the best in Essex”, with “reliable pub grub” and a new beer garden featuring an outdoor pizza oven. “Eat in the restaurant upstairs if you can”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
