Avoided this pub in past as never had anywhere to sit or even just rest your drink down. Had a little revamp recently, which has meant increased dining/seating available, and much nicer layout. Complimentary table snacks offered and table service make this a nice pub to go to. Haven't tried food, but will definitely do so in future.

What a lovely pub! There seem to be more pubs than houses in Old Leigh so it was tough to choose one (we didn't have time to try them all sadly!). It was a cold but sunny afternoon and The Peter Boat has a large beer garden overlooking the sea. Once inside the pub ordering drinks, we realised how warm and cosy it was in there and how cold it was outside. We decided to sit in but by the huge windows looking onto the beer garden and the sea.
The drinks were good and very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and there was a good beer and cider choice.
We only had one drink as it&apos

This place gets really packed at weekends. Trying to get a drink is a nightmare, when it first changed hands there were plenty of staff now its not so good! specials board is ok but not great, you cant even get just a sandwich!!!! you have to order a meal which is ok when its warm (the meal that is), chips are frozen type and tend to go soggy after 10mins. when they had a barby one Sunday that was ok. Dont think i would take freinds here.

The Peter Boat has fond memories for me as it's so many pubs in one location. It's brilliant if the sun's out and you want to get lazy drunk by the water waiting for the tide to come in. It's the place to be when Leigh has a festival on as you can sit and drink watching the world go by in all it's glory. Finally I'd recommend popping down there on a dark wintry rainy night as it's atmosphere changes completely. You feel exposed to the elements in the car park but once inside you don't want to leave.
The recent and much needed refurbishment has given it

Imagine, if you will, a quaint oldey-worldey fishing village down towards the mouth of the River Thames that once upon a time witnessed the might of the Roman army steering its way upriver to sack the city of Londinium...
This is Leigh-on-Sea, or Old Leigh as it's known to the locals. The bit of Leigh that hasn't been turned into a posers paradise of Cafe/Bars, ladies who lunch and illegally parked expensive cars with equally expensive vanity plates.
Old Leigh is just that - old. It's been around, catching and serving up seafood for hundreds of years in small cockle sheds. Naturally

A gem in old leigh, the peter boat has been loved by generations but mainly in the summer! The outside area is a great place to soak up the old town and meet up with large groups of friends. It can get a bit rowdy later in the day but it's all part of the fun. For food you can either order from the restaurant which is pretty basic or nip to the cockle sheds next door for fresh seafood.

In the winter this is the same as every other pub in the area, but in the summer it comes alive. the crowds mingle in together from the other pubs on the large court yard outside enjoying the sun with a very friendly atmosphere. it suffers as any busy pub does with long waiting times at the bar but a very social enjoyable place on a warm summers day

An ok pub in Old Leigh. This pub comes into its own in Summer when it has huge numbers of picnic tables outside. Drinking out there can give the impression that you are sitting by the sea - in really it is more often the mud-flats. During Summer there is a real buzz and it can be a great place to grab a beer and watch the sunset. However there is often a long queue and the toilets are grim. Out of season there are a couple of fires indoors which entice you in, however the food is awful particularly the children's menu which is so clearly microwaved and not very pleasant.

This is a nice enough pub with a great outdoor terrace which is the main reason for going (when the sun's out.) Same kind of beer as everywhere, interior nothing special, but when the sun's shining it's great. Wonderful views over the Thames and the sea. Buy some cockles and prawns and eat them here, it's great.

Always an okay place to grab a drink at the Folk Festival or the Art Trail. Service usually good, toilets (ladies) usually awful, but perhaps that's because I only tend to visit when it's busy.
Nice beer garden and it doesn't smell too fishy!!
Haven't eaten here for years but the food was always pretty average.

Old Leigh never fails in providing pubs that provide atmosphere both outside and inside, but to me mainly outside. This small, and I mean small fishing port that specialises in shellfish cockles, whelks etc. This community dates right back and has a rich defined lineage, a name that jumps out regularly is Osborne an original fishmongers that exist within the Peter Boat car park and supplement those seeking beer with allsorts of seafood, in some cases when intoxicated being the only time you would eat some of the creatures on offer. The pub itself is fine and provides a full menu, but its beauty

This is a great pub for sunny summer days and evenings, thanks to the huge patio area on the seafront. Sorry, estuary front.
It's in Old Leigh which is a quaint little fishing village and well worth a stroll through.
It gets busy during the week with day-trippers and local workers and busy at the weekend with everyone else. Last time we visited, we placed our food order at the bar only to be told that it would be at least 1 hour. This was said very matter of factly and the implication was that if we didn't like it we could go somewhere else. I guess they didn't have to care
