Lennards in Rainham

Ah, Lennards – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a proper, no-fuss evening out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff, particularly Walter, are an absolute delight; they're warm, chatty, and go out of their way to make sure everyone's having a good time, which really adds to that homely feel. It's brilliant for all sorts of occasions, like family parties or just a casual pint, with plenty of space to spread out and a solid range of beers on tap. On the flip side, though, it's a shame there's not much clarity on food – you might end up just sticking to drinks if you're peckish. The hours are a bit limited too, so it's not the place for a lunchtime stop, and without a website, it's easy to miss out on any updates. Overall, it's a gem if you're in the area and after a straightforward, enjoyable spot, but worth keeping those little niggles in mind for the full picture.
