White Hart, Thundersley

Food and drink reasonably priced but they have destroyed a traditional old village pub and turned it into a chain pub clone. Gone is the atmosphere, the old beams have been painted an insipid sort of beige colour and there are three piece suites to sit on. Not somewhere that I would go back to in a hurry and I lived in the village for 27 years.

Loyal Toast, Southend on Sea

We found it to be very friendly pubby sort of pub when we first went there in 2007 and we are still going there today. The food is good home cooked fare, not the plastic stuff that you get from these food and drink chain plastic poser palaces. They keep a mean pint of Adnams Broadside along with a selection of lagers and cider as well as the usual spirits, many of which are on offers. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we have made many friends among both the staff and regulars. I would recommend this pub to anyone who likes a good honest pint in a good honest pub.
