The DJ who is in charge of doing karaoke dictates what you can and cannot sing. Can't say I've ever seen that before at other venues, especially seeing as he had the song downloaded on his laptop. Can anybody tell me what about Arctic Monkeys isn't allowed?

Great,atmospheric,busy pub. A pint of San Miguel for under £5 in Southend!!! The barmaid who served me was friendly,polite and efficient. She told me the owner wasn't greedy and so didn't overcharge. It showed. The pub was busy,with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.
