"imagine if they want to, a ancient secular fishing village down in the direction of the mouth of the river thames, which once testifies to a time the Roman poor, who directed his way upwards to lick the city of londinium. that is leigh at the sea, or old leigh, as it is known to the locals. the piece leigh, which was not transformed into a pose paradise of cafe/bars, ladies, eating and illegally parked expensive cars with equally expensive vanity. old leigh is just that old. it has been for hundreds of years to catch and serve in small tile skins. Of course, this has been hand in hand with a series of fine (and just as old) pubs, which have been cared for the soul man for an equally long time. to the peter boat. in its current incarnation, it is one of the newer pubs in old leigh and offers for two different masses: older regular (mostly of the year) and younger trinker (each the sun vague in view from mai to september and over christmas). the pub itself is certainly nothing special standard dishes, standard foods and manages to blur a price increase apparently based on the temperature. the service is always incredibly slow when the bar is busy (each of these sunny days) and the staff in the summer are the next students willing to work for minimum wage regardless of experience or ability. the winter is however a completely different fish boiler, but it is not really winter that makes the peter boat worth a train trip from london. in hot days, this pub comes alive. it generates huge amounts in nothing better than a parking lot full of picnic tables with a portakabin flew seafood in the corner. on one side there is the sea wall and the fishing boats with a view of the mouth canal (muddy sea bed, looking at the flood and coming out and kent far away from a clear day). what makes it special is the pure ingenuity, eccentricity and mix of people who drink in the sun. it is really a melting pot of the Essex people and I apologise to everyone to go there without running into at least one person they know. old leigh is one of my favorite places in my hometown and there are not many! I am not going enough there and I am critical of the overall Southend area. there are places like the peter boat and those who go there for year more that remind me why I loved it when I grew up. if they dare in this direction, they owe a visit....and are not deducted from the brights angels, essex young and girls or seafood they need to meet. it is never really a place, decorations, music or products that cneipen or bars make it the people. so they meet them; all character with their strata and all the long, sunny days of summer to tell them."
