The Cornucopia

Walked through to this place originally in January. Was completely dead with the manager who was originally in charge admitting he couldn't see them staying open much longer. Sadly he was right as it closed in July. Good news is it has reopened and I revisited here last night. Barmaid was very friendly and I thank her for her patience when my phone had a blip for payment. DJ was very friendly as well and the atmosphere was one of friendliness and enjoyment. Next time I'm in Southend I will definitely be revisiting. Ignore the negative reviews. Most of those probably just don't appreciate a good old fashioned English pub.

If you're interested in visiting or want to know what London pubs were like in my youth... a warm welcome and chatty staff and locals quaffing pints of best bitter, ladies lingering over a port and brandy then you'll have to visit this lovely little boozer in Southend on Sea!!! Old style decor, standing room only on a busy night and rock n roll tunes on in the background. Wish we still had these kind of boozers around in North London but sadly all gone. And for goodness sake there's a great sit down fish n chip shop next door, The Neptune!!
