Historic riverside pub near town pier and ferry to Tilbury, with good views of the Thames from the rear terrace garden. The elegant main bar area has chandeliers and a log fire, with local photographs, and there are two upstairs function rooms. No TV or gaming machines, just background music at times. Reopened under new management on Christmas Eve 2017 after redecoration. Now has no real ale. The two beers on handpumps are brewery-conditioned.
