I've been living in Grays since 2006. I've had a few roasts around here and they have been so terrible that I didn't even write about how bad they were because of the old saying ' if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all'. We normally have to venture back to East for a decent roast.
This pub has finally taken up the mantle and delivered a Sunday roast that you could spend all day cooking at home and then when it was time to eat it....(you know when your eyes and nose have already eaten the food you are too full) Everything was delicious the roast potatoes need a special mention (Jasmine's Nana's recipe) fondant potatoes that melted in the mouth and were full of buttery heaven, real tasty Yorkshire pudding along with roast parsnips carrots beans and broccoli you have hit your five a day before you have reached the meat (we had beef and pork roasts)
All this for £12 and you get desert too!!

There are tables outside if the weather is nice with a view of the Thames twenty yards away or so . Definitely worth calling in for a beer and a...
Read moreJust had some hallomui fry’s and breaded mushrooms for starters, and the panang chicken curry, we’ll all I can say is WOW , the fry’s and mushrooms were cooked to perfection, but the main course was absolutely fantastic, to be totally honest it’s the best panang curry I’ve ever had, the flavours were just perfect with just the right amount of a kick to it , Complements to the chef. Also I’d like to mention the staff who are so friendly and welcoming, we felt like regular’s,although this was only our second visit, if you’re looking for something a lil different and very reasonable prices and friendly staff then this is the place you need...
