No 1 in the top 50 gastropubs of 2021! Michelin-starred gastropub on saltmarshes by the Thames estuary, with a seaside feel to the wood-panelled rooms and reclaimed timber tables, all of which are usually booked in advance by diners. Pride in local food extends to producing their own butter, bread and salt. Walls are hung with the work of local painters. Children must be 10 years or over and there is no children's menu. PLEASE NOTE: Inside seating is reserved exclusively for restaurant reservations but there is some seating available in the conservatory for drinkers. However, if the pub is busy, the conservatory tables may all be reserved and the staff may not be able to serve non-diners. It is very advisable to ring ahead to check.
