Situated in the heart of Old Leigh’s cobbled lanes with uninterrupted views out across the estuary, it’s no surprise that The Peterboat is an all-seasons staple for Leigh locals and day trippers from further afield.

Famed for serving up the freshest fish dishes in Leigh-on-Sea since 1695, head down to the quayside venue early to bag a prime spot on the seafront and order its signature Peterboat cockle chowder.

Too nippy outside? Head indoors for a hearty fireside welcome, instead. Offering a vast dining space with plenty of character to boot, The Peterboat delivers modern gastro vibes with soul and – if you’re lucky – you might just catch one of the pub’s popular live music nights, too.
