| I used to live in Hatfield Peverel and "The Key's" was our meeting place in the early 70's onward's. We would sit in the corner about 10 or more of us. Dave & Rose Marx the landlord/lady were a great couple. Some of us had a taste for McEwans so Dave bless him got it in for us.The pork pie's always seemed to be the same one's but we know that isnt true it was just one of the in pub joke's.Dave & Rose watched as we all "grew up" and got sensible as Dave would put it. I went back to "The Key's" in 2003 for the first time since moving away in 1990. Dave & Rose were still the same and behold the porkpie's were still there.They spoke of Dave's impending retirement,and as I am aware they have both retired and moved on, and alas time had taken it's toll on some of the regular's from the good old day's of the 70's onwards.Good luck to the new landlord/lady and I hope to return to see "The Key's" in the not to distant future.The one change I did notice though is that the toilet's were now inside, many a cold rainy night saw a steady stream of male's using the ladie's that were inside instead of risking a soaking going to the gents across the carpark.Nice one took it's time but you did it. dunnenough - 2 Sep 2008 22:18 |
| Small local, with friendly landlord and stuffed animals all over the walls and what looked to be a stuffed bat hanging from behind the bar! Woodfords Wherry (excellent) was on while we were in. We were also lucky enough to be in at the time when the banjo players were doing their thing, which I believe is normally the last Friday of the month. dyyony - 19 Jun 2007 11:29 |
| Little atmosphere; 1970s plastic seats; giant hound behind bar - not very sanitary; beer generally Greene King IPA plus guest - but generally less than 4% - served okay if you like it weak; no food. A shame... could be a great place with a little thought. 473mils - 3 May 2007 20:45 |
| Very nice pub. Went there today with two friends on our motorbikes, based on the comment below. Had a very well kept London Pride, there was also Green King IPA on the pumps. The landlord and his wife were very frindly indeed, and are running a really nice little pub. The tidy beer garden looks like a real sun-trap, very attractive. We'll be back!
