• British • Southend-On-Sea

Situated near the seafront and high street, but far enough off the circuit to feel like a secret place. The Alex is one of the friendliest pubs in town and for many it feels like home. With a friendly vibe unrivalled in the area, it'd be rude not to pop in. Oh, and did we mention that we've got an Xbox with a stack of games and a SNES with Street Fighter 2, so you can challenge your mates for the next round!Head to our Facebook page to keep up to date with all of our events and offers.

The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views. The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
