42 Broadway, Little Thurrock, Grays, RM17 6EW

This 19th Century pub was once know as the Half Moon, and has had a varied history since then.

Branch Pub of the Year in 2005 & 2010. Why not take a look! or even go in and try a pint!

White Hart

Local Pubs - GRAYS

People’s views on Grays differ!.. Some only think of the delights? (or otherwise) of the industrial past and present, Lakeside, the M25 and the Dartford Crossing.

However, here are (in strictly alphabetical order) three real pubs (all in the current Good Beer Guide) that you might like to escape to!
