Review The Old Garrison - Shoeburyness

Stopped here on a whim, was actually in the area doing the herd in the city elephant trail and was passing by very hungry. We sat outside in one of the pods in the front, lots of choice on the menu, ordered for all 5 of us, including all having milkshakes, and came under £50! There's a summer offer where children eat for £1.50 which is amazing. Staff very friendly, food yummy and filling, I had a medium all day breakfast with 1 added extra, and the bread that came with it was so thick 😋 everyone enjoyed a piece of that. If I'm in the area again, I will be returning. Thanks so much for a pleasant experience.

I stopped for lunch after finding the last elephant from the art trail in the pub's front garden. I was a visitor to the area to do the trail. It was a fabulous place for lunch.. such good value and tasty food!

Nice pub , great food and a lovely garden with little sheds you can sit in

We had a lovely lunch here. Has a nice play area which kept my 3 year old entertained before food arrived. The milkshakes we had were amazing. Food was nice, simple pub grub. The portions were really good and it was great value for money.

New management,new menu & great value \ prices. Clean inside & out with useful outside area . Google image for photos

Very clean and friendly place to drink or eat. Food was lovely, I had a large all day breakfast, the bacon on it was really thick with plenty of it, nice crusty bread as well. I choose a Cruzcampo beer to drink which was served lovely and cold in correct glass as well. All in all this is a very well run, clean pub that serve value for money food and a well served, well presented pint from friendly, efficient staff. I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Gorgeous pub, great beer garden - very dog friendly, lots of space and drinking water available. Lovely outdoor huts to sit in if too hot. Huge kids play area as well. Can’t fault it! Go.

First time if trying here we came accross it whilst looking at the elephant outside and my boy liked the play area. So we booked up to come over for lunch this weekend. Went in for 12.30 on a Saturday got in before loads were there to eat so it was pretty quiet. We had a choice of a booth outside or a table inside. We went for inside as it kept trying to rain. Owner/manager was nice and friendly and so we're the bar staff. A good choice of 'pub grub' food. Everyone enjoyed their meals, even the more picky ones liked their food. The father in law went for pie and mash (which he has quite often) and enjoyed it. The steak baguette was tasty especially when I added onions and grilled halloumi. I was concerned of how good it was going to be, I was re assured when I was asked how I wanted it cooked and was definitely not disappointed. The pizza on the specials is a good size and even comes out in its own box and I was told that was really good. Service was prompt, you definitely get a lot for your money and everyone felt it was very reasonable. The play area outside was great as well, we sat in the restaurant section in the end but the kids loved the play area. I never visited before but clearly the new management are doing a great job

Just popped in for lunch. The young lady who served us was lovely. The food was delicious (the banana milkshake was the best I've ever had). Prices really good. The only downside was the rather loud 'gentlemen' at the bar!!

New owners, great food and drinks, staff are very pleasant. Will go back many times. Park is excellent for kids. Order to table is so easy. Wifi would be even better.

Visited for first time. Lovely day plenty of outside seating in sun & shade. Staff friendly & helpful. Great beers. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed it & will be back very soon.

Have been to the Old Garrison at Shoeburyness for lunch many times, very good food and definately not expensive for the size of the meals provided. Good atmosphere and helpful staff. Good value food for the prices.

Good food and a reasonable price. Plenty of choice. Friendly service and lovely pods in the garden. Nice play area for kids.

Ordered takeaways a few times always really nice and good value , the place looks so much better now has had a makeover , lots of events on for families so nice to have this on our doorstep , hope to visit lots over the summer

Lovey staff , good portion food, Dogs welcome Lady behind the bar was great Shame about the loud bar flys that haunt the place, I suppose every pub has those

The pub provided the venue for a very special family event. The level of attention was exemplary and couldn’t be faulted. Thank you again.

Not been there for 2 years big changes since then.nice pub.reasonble menu.

Really great breakfast very impressed. This pub has really transformed under the new ownership. The food is great, there's a great atmosphere and there's always something going on for families.
