The Punchbowl is a 17th century gastro pub, located in the heart of rural Essex and the Crouch Valley and the South Essex Salt marshes. We offer nose-to-tail style menu, with unpretentious dishes that focus on flavour. Everything is made in house - from bread to mayonnaise, and we use local, seasonal and organic ingredients. Our menu changes daily, as the season's best comes in, and always features day boat fish, meat, offal, rare breed steaks and excellent vegetarian cookery.Our beautiful garden bar has a lawn and york-stone patio looking out across the farmland of Paglesham and the River Crouch. Throughout the summer we offer BBQ dining from our hand-cranked Asado and Rotisserie Grills.

    The food was good, the service was minimal as only had lunch. I am more than happy that the Kings Arms is back in action and serving food, however, it seemed evident that we went for Friday Lunch they are struggling for customers. This may be because it is January, however, I believe they need to look at their pricing as this may be a factor. With the Popular Angel very nearby with easy access and parking, they are offering food at a slightly lower price than the Arms- burgers being one example. The Arms are charging additional for cheese and bacon - can understand the bacon but not the cheese. Pizzas are a pound or so cheaper and finally charging £5 for a pint of Diet Coke is extreme. I want the Kings Arms to be successful and so my feedback is meant to be constructive- either drop prices slightly and take the hit or maybe look at more economical ingredients to bring down costs. Good luck the Arms - I’m fully behind you but will struggle to pay over £50 for two lunch meals and two soft drinks in the future.
