Restaurants  

Squires Coffee Shop: Cosy Cafe

Squires Coffee Shop: Cosy Cafe, Rayleigh

 sirenna Says:  Squires is a cosy little coffee shop serving sandwiches, soups, quiches, baked potatoes and cakes. There are many different kinds of tea and coffee to choose from, though I can't comment on them as in fact I despise coffee and normally stick to juice. The food is great...

The Paul Pry: Great Pub Food

The Paul Pry: Great Pub Food, Rayleigh

 sirenna Says:  The best thing about the Paul Pry is the tasty, reasonably priced food. They serve really decent 'pub grub' here. On the downside, the noise from live televised sporting events can be overly loud - it would be nicer if they would confine this to one section of the pub, as... 

The Roebuck: Chain Pub

The Roebuck: Chain Pub, Rayleigh

 sirenna Says:  The Roebuck is another of those JD Wetherspoons 'chain' pubs. The place is brand new, but not particularly attractive to look at on the outside, and distinctly lacking in atmosphere in the vast interior, though the drinks are cheap. During the day it attracts a mixed crowd... 

Marco's Bar: Tapas and Wine

Marco's Bar: Tapas and Wine, Rayleigh

 sirenna Says:  This is my definately my favourite spot for eating and drinking in Rayleigh. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the food is excellent. On certain nights there is live music here, and as at weekends, you'll need to arrive early to get in. Marco's isn't cheap, but the... 

The Crown: Coaching House

The Crown: Coaching House, Rayleigh

 sirenna Says:  The Crown is an ancient old pub, which was originally a coaching house. The food is OK, and the place gets pretty lively at weekends. Last time I was there, there was a pool table, and quite a strong emphasis on showing televised sporting events. I don't know if the same... 

The Spread Eagle: Traditional Pub

The Spread Eagle: Traditional Pub, Rayleigh

 sirenna Says:  This is one of those small pubs where the same people have been drinking for years. Generations in fact. There are a lot of old men! These days I don't find the place as friendly as it used to be - but everything changes I suppose. There's no garden, just a small courtyard...

Rayleigh windmill

Rayleigh windmill, Rayleigh

 sirenna Says:  Rayleigh Mill dates back to the 19th centuary, and is a well known local landmark. Owned by Rochford District Council, the mill is open Wednesdays between 10am and 1pm, and Sundays between 12pm and 3pm.

 Rayleigh is a small market town with one main high street, at the top of which stands the Holy Trinity Church. There are a few pubs (mostly of the old-fashioned kind) a couple of boutiques and cheap...
