Didn't think there were any remaining hidden gems in terms of Essex dining, but the Railway Hotel in Southend has proved me absolutely wrong! My girlfriend and I visit often for tattoo appointments and shopping from Brentwood and will now be making a stop here regularly. The most surprising aspect was not the delicious taste OR reasonable pricing. It was the tremendously humble, welcoming service and the immense variety of dishes that wins for me. This establishment is a vegan's paradise but carnivores feel welcome!
Amazing pub has lovely furniture and is run by great people. I attended the Soup micro fundraising event was a real positive place to be. The vegan breakfast was amazing as well
Love this place. The food is so good and it always has a great atmosphere. Vegans and non vegans will love it!

Great selection of Vegan food on the menu with some lovely crafty beers to go with it. The pizza's, best in town for less than a tenner & staff, pleased to inform, advise & suggest menu items. A really cool musical vibe in here. It's like a hip London pub, plonked into a town that needs a bit info about what people want. Ie, vodka revolution has just opened up... Come on Southend, this isn't 2003.
The bartender was also more than happy to jump up on the bar to get a great photo of our gang that day. We'll be back!
Great old pub with loads of character, nice outdoor space, often have live gigs. Proper pub.
Excellent customer service. Terrific vegan pizza. Lovely merlot
This is one of my favorite places for a drink and the prices are very reasonable too. The food is great especially the pizzas and I'm not a vegan just for the record. Always something going on weather it's a comedy night a ska night or even jazz in the afternoon it all happens here. Overall a great pub with lots of quirks and charm too.
Love this place. Great music and awesome vegan food (even if you're a carnivore like me, especially the pizzas). They also have a 'pay it forward scheme' to help feed the homeless. Nice to see a local business with a social conscience.
Excellent service...magic music ..xxx
I've given 4 stars for the friendly atmosphere of this place. Everyone is so welcoming. Perfect if you enjoy live bands & you're a smoker! If you can look past the fact that its an old pub with tired decor 😉 its definitely worth a visit.
