Best Pubs in Southend-On-Sea

Good food, good service, and good value for money. Will definitely return.

As always we enjoyed a wonderful relaxed lunch at the Duke William. Staff members Jenny & Adam excelled at making us welcome. We like the new menu, especially the Jerusalem artichoke & goat's curd starter which is delicious. Ditto our old favourite the vegan cheeseburger & fries. There are so many things we like about the Duke William which is why we have dined there 3 times in recent weeks. Delights include the roaring log fire, beautiful garden with views across the fields & oast houses, plus the friendliness of the staff. We also like the ease of parking. The Duke William is our favourite country pub. Our only complaint is that Kentish Gypsy Tart is no longer on the menu, it was our favourite dessert, but has not been available to order for a long time :(

First time eating there thoroughly enjoyed it food excellent and atmosphere cozy relaxing. Just what you want on a cold November evening. Would definitely recommend

Felt very welcoming and comfortable. Enjoyed the drink and food selction. I didn't have a burger, while others did and I wasn't so impressed with the presentation of a burger on an oversized plate with some chips. We had a great evening amd no-one was complaining ! Thank you :))
