About This Pub

Ah, Paul Pry in Rayleigh – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot, you know? From what I've gathered, it's a proper community hub with staff who go above and beyond to make your visit memorable, whether you're there for a hearty meal or to cheer on the team during events like the Women's Euros. The food's a real winner, with rave reviews about tasty dishes at honest prices, and it's clear families feel welcome with all the thoughtful facilities on offer. That said, it's not without its quirks – it does get busy, so you might have to queue for a table, and while the prices are fair, they might not suit everyone if you're keeping things simple. Overall, it's a solid choice for a good time; I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh any minor niggles, leaving you with that feel-good glow after a visit.

Pros and Cons

Cons

It can get a bit crowded during big events or peak times, which might mean a wait for a table or service.

Opening hours seem to vary a little, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any surprises, especially on Sundays.

We had my dad's Celebration of Life here on Friday. The food was excellent, the service was great and the atmosphere, considering what we were there for, was amazing. Thank you to all the staff for making the day easier for us.

I recently visited The Pry for lunch with my daughter, a friend, and her little one, and we had a fantastic experience! The food was delicious, and the kids absolutely loved their sundaes. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service from the staff. They were incredibly welcoming and made a real effort to engage with our children, ensuring that their experience was just as enjoyable as ours. The pub also has a lovely little park in the garden, which would be perfect for summer outings. When we asked for a glass of wine, Alice recommended the perfect choice based on our tastes. We would highly recommend The Pry for families, and we’ll definitely be back!

I visited yesterday and my eye was taken to the Seniors menu. Three courses for £7.99! I had soup of the day, tomato and red pepper. Bangers Mash and peas and finished with chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream. The portions were adequate and the quality good. This is amazing value for money. The pub is comfortable and friendly and yesterday Billy ‘The bar’ was running operations guiding like minded diners through their options. Not Michelin starred but very good value. Oh! I forgot to say the Green King IPA deserved a CAMRA accolade.
