The Ye Olde Smack is a traditional family-friendly pub at the heart of Leigh-On-Sea overlooking the Thames Estuary. With a history reportedly rife with stories of smuggling contraband and rumours of secret tunnels, we get our unique name from the slang term 'snack' for an old fishing boat that sneaks through the water like a snake. Our prime location offers waterside dining, and our pub food menu is packed with classic dishes. Tuck into hearty pies or hand-battered fish and chips, or treat yourself to one of our indulgent desserts. With TNT Sports and Sky Sports showcasing the latest action on our screens, we're the perfect match day hosts. Spend a sunny day in our beer garden and enjoy a refreshing sip of something special from our well-stocked bar. We've got free Wi-Fi to keep you connected, plus disabled facilities for ease.
Join us for all the footy action across all the leagues, from the Premier League to the EFL, WSL and European competitions, not to mention all the internationals too!
