A photo of Alex Southend On Sea restaurant
Price: Moderate
• British • Southend-On-Sea
Situated near the seafront and high street, but far enough off the circuit to feel like a secret place. The Alex is one of the friendliest pubs in town and for many it feels like home. With a friendly vibe unrivalled in the area, it'd be rude not to pop in. Oh, and did we mention that we've got an Xbox with a stack of games and a SNES with Street Fighter 2, so you can challenge your mates for the next round!Head to our Facebook page to keep up to date with all of our events and offers.

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.

Price: Moderate
• British • Canvey Island
A truly classic pub which has so much history, we even feature in the Dickens novel "Great expectations". This pub is a true gem - on a sunny day, enjoy the outside area near the sea; in winter, settle down by our real fireplace in the warm and cosy pub. Enjoy a drink in the "Drifters Bar" upstairs or a delicious meal in our downstairs restaurant area.

    We were visiting Kara Lounge & Grill the second time, with our friends from France. The food was superb, we ordered kix of starters like cacik/sucuk(spicy Turkish sausage absolutely fantastic)and for the main we had House special mix platter for 4-5 people. Honestly we were stuffed with all the starters that we could not handle the main dish. So had to pack up. Everything was very fresh good quality food. Also had some mock-tails, decent size glasses. We will be coming back again and again as its one to go place in town.

    This is by far our favourite restaurant locally. The staff are all so friendly and knowledgeable. The food is outstanding, the range of cocktails is very impressive, and they have some really special wines on the wine list. The restaurant was full, but we didn’t feel rushed at any point. Terry the proprietor is just lovely. Working hard to make sure everyone is having a good time. We honestly love it there.
