About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
The Olde Trout Tavern is a popular pre-match spot for both home and away supporters due to its proximity to Southend United's Roots Hall stadium, which is approximately a 15–20 minute walk away. The pub offers a welcoming atmosphere with a selection of real ales, including the house-brewed 'Trout Ale', and traditional home-cooked meals such as steak and kidney pies and sausage baguettes. It is also known for hosting quiz nights and darts events, providing a social setting for fans before and after matches.

We have done a couple of acoustic sets and their open mic nights on a Thursday. Always great fun. Staff and punters all really nice. Beer is good too. 100% would recommend.
The Olde Trout Tavern is a wonderful spot with great atmosphere and even better service. The staff are warm, welcoming, and always ready with helpful recommendations. The food is delicious fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal, a drink with friends, or a relaxing evening out, this place never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy, friendly, and memorable dining experience!
Such a lovely pub with a very friendly attitude and some seriously great cask ales. Price wise more than competitive and to be honest no fault to be found. Plus the kitchen is open a couple hours a day. Very happy to recommend
Nice place but not enough choice of real ales on a thursday night, other than that all good.
Great place to meet friends for a drink and a chat, the staff are friendly and always remember your name and your drink. Clare the owner and her husband are great hosts, it is always a pleasure to visit The Old Trout. Drinks selection is extensive and well priced unfortunately I have not eaten here as yet to rate the food but I am told by friends that the food is very good and reasonably priced. Look forward to my next visit. Keep up the good work Clare.
