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.

    Well first time visiting the venue. On arriving it looked a lovely tranquil restaurant/pub. On entering we was welcomed like regulars the staff so so welcoming and friendly 😊 We arrived 20mins before our booking and was told we can sit down straight away fantastic. Drinks ordered bought to table within minutes. All the other customers looked comfortable and happy which shows how lovely it is. Our waitress wow she was absolutely 💯% lovely happy is if we knew her for years.. Now the food OMG out of this world . The Fish and chips WOW that's the best I've EVER HAD. MY wife had the mixed meat roast it also looked amazing The portion sizes was fantastic 👏. I'm pretty sure Gordon Ramsey was in the kitchen cooking it as it was that beautiful and VERY tasty. So on our experience it's DEFINITELY 💯% actually 110% worth the drive out to it. Which we will be again very very soon. Once again thanks to our lovely waitress ( on till receipt it said jamie torres ) Thank you once again x Also to all the staff
