What do you do with a pub that has the disadvantage of being islolated in a windy corner on the Thames Estuary.
Serve fantastic food!!
The ingredients are top quality local and the chefs work in a glass enclosed kitchen so you can see what is going on from outside the pub.There is nothing fancy about the pub itself but there is about the food.
The menu is small but the chefs know what they are doing with the food.The choices of wine,cheeses,meats and seafood are truly quality based.I could wax lyrical about any of the dishes we had,suffice to say that I cannot criticise any of them,truly amazing.
The leg of lamb came as two cuts,shank and prime leg the prime leg was good the shank was epic deep flavours of what lamb should taste like ....homemade strawberry ice cream with cream and shortbread biscuit and more cream truly EPIC.
Cheese board ...skate...homemade bread...even the butter was exceptional.
Put yourself out a little and go,please go it is the best pub food in the country

Went back for seconds last week it is still great!!!!';)
