                 Traitors Gate

                      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.  An early entry in the Good Beer Guide, it went through a “bad patch”, but with change in name came a change for the better, and three regularly-changing Real Ales. Branch Pub of the Year in 2005 & 2010.  Why not take a look! or even go in and try a pint!

 

               White Hart

                          Kings Walk, Argent Street, Grays, RM17 6HR

 

Another pub with a “mixed” past but now a Free House with a wide range of cask ales. Crouch Vale Brewers Gold, Champion Ale of Britain 2005 & 6, is the permanent offering, and a mild or stout is always available. A Rotating selection of top quality bitters completes the picture, or you may like to sample a Belgian Beer; an increasingly-popular tipple.  Hosts Regular Beer Festivals.  Branch Pub of the Year in 2007, 2008 & 2009.

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!
