The Crooked Billet in Leigh-on-Sea is an inviting spot, blending traditional pub charm with delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere. Located on High Street, this pub-restaurant features rustic wooden floors and an ambiance that feels both cozy and welcoming. The staff are warm and attentive, adding to the overall friendly experience.nnOn our recent visit, we enjoyed two pints of Guinness alongside hearty dishes that exceeded our expectations. The classic “bangers and mash” – sausages with creamy mashed potatoes – was perfectly seasoned, a true comfort food with just the right balance of flavors. We also ordered the sea bass, which came with a delightful combination of young potatoes, prawns, and clams. The seafood was fresh and beautifully cooked, pairing well with the soft texture of the potatoes.nnOne of the pub’s standout features is its view overlooking the Thames estuary. Whether inside or out, guests can enjoy scenic glimpses of the water, which adds a refreshing touch to the atmosphere, especially on sunny days. The pub is always bustling with locals and visitors alike, making it a lively place to enjoy a meal or a drink with friends or family.nnThe Crooked Billet also serves an impressive selection of real ales, making it a great choice for those looking to experience traditional British drinks alongside satisfying pub fare. As regular visitors, we highly recommend The Crooked Billet for its delightful mix of ambiance, food quality, and fantastic views – a genuine gem in Leigh-on-Sea.
Completely humiliated by the lady serving. I waited in the restaurant trying to get some kind of acknowledgement. When eventually did get eye contact was completely ignored. Waited a bit longer, walked into the other bar and she just ignored me again. I know I'm not a regular but felt most unwelcome. Am moving in the area but disappointed as wanted it to be my local.
We went here and sat outside in the summer, the food was superb. This week with our two dogs, we came again and asked if the dogs were welcome in the bar and they said it was fine. My husband had the haddock and chips, sadly this time the batter was soft and tasteless. I ordered 2 sausages for the dogs. After half an hour I had to ask the bar staff twice where they were and each time, they said they are coming. How long does cooking 2 sausages. In the end we just walked out, paying for something we never received. So we went to the fab Sara’s tea room,. Never had anything like this at Saras or the Peterboat. Very disappointed this time especially one dinner and a wine costing £40
Nothing crooked about this fabulous establishment. A delight in the sunshine. The ambience takes some beating. Lovely vibe, terrific beer, friendly staff and punters. Loved it.nA billet is a living quarters for soldiers. As a former schoolboy cadet I really should've carried on my military career. Damn, I could have lived here.
Really like the venue and have previously visited and enjoyed the pub. Unfortunately the service was way below par on this visit. I myself sorted out menus for my table. Our server was slow and inattentive despite it being fairly quiet. When we were finally able to flag down our waiter to order food, we were then told a fair few items weren’t available on the menu anymore- mainly half of the vegetarian options. It was really quite disappointing as the place had been booked for a big family occasion and I’m afraid we won’t be returning in future.
