Located along the cobbled High Street in Leigh-on-Sea, The Peterboat, named after a Thames fishing boat, boasts a stunning waterside setting. Its surrounding landscape, intriguing past associations with smugglers and occasional shantysinging evenings continue to define its character.
We were greeted with a new autumn menu. Our choices included starters of flavoursome spinach and asparagus soup and peppered mushrooms served on a toasted brioche with creamy and savoury peppercorn sauce. The must-try fish pie that followed was really enhanced by accompaniments of cheesy mash and seasonal vegetables with a gorgeous white wine sauce, whilst the grilled goat's cheese salad with pine nuts, mixed leaves and redcurrant jelly was a hearty and winning vegetarian-friendly choice. We completed our meal with a classic vanilla crème brûlée, served with homemade shortcake biscuits.
This wonderful family-run freehouse evokes true pub spirit and tradition with great guest ales, extensive biannual ale festivals and summertime music festivals. Having recently received a fantastic refurbishment, dining at The Peterboat proves cosy in the winter thanks to the open fires, whilst in the summer, diners gather on the outdoor patio terrace to watch beautiful sunsets over panoramic views of the Thames
