Description
If you’re looking for a top pub that boasts an impressive selection of cask ales and pub food, make sure you visit The Crooked Billet in Leigh-on-Sea.
Taking its name from a boomerang-shaped tree branch, The Crooked Billet is the oldest pub on the High Street and the only one that isn’t named after a ship.
Located opposite Billet Wharf, just a short walk from Leigh-on-Sea Station and Leigh Broadway, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy traditional British pub hospitality, great food, and a unique selection of cask ales and spirits, in the heart of the town.
If you’re planning an event, the dining room holds up to 50 people and can be hired for a variety of different occasions.
