A Real Seafront Pub

We are a proud, traditional seafront pub offering everything you need under one roof. For over 20 years, Jan and Jolene have made The Castle a welcoming staple just a stone's throw from the beach.

Enjoy a great pint at the bar, sit down for a hearty meal at our famous carvery, host an unforgettable event in our function room, or book one of our comfortable upstairs guest rooms for a great night's sleep.

Real food, real ales, and real hospitality.

Sunday Carvery

A delicious plate of traditional Sunday roast dinner

Our Sunday carvery is a local favourite! Choose from a selection of perfectly roasted meats, load up your plate with crispy roasties, fresh vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and finish it off with plenty of proper gravy. It’s the perfect way to end your weekend. Tables fill up fast, so be sure to book yours today!

Fun Times at The Castle

There’s always a brilliant vibe down at The Castle.

Sitting right on the seafront, we're the perfect base for the Southend Carnival and local firework displays.
