The Gun Pub in Basildon is a great place to visit for a variety of occasions. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the selection of beers and ales is impressive, especially the Doombar. The food is excellent, with a varied menu that caters to all tastes, and the portions are generous. The Gun Pub is also well-equipped to handle wakes, providing both private rooms and buffet options. The staff are understanding and accommodating of the difficult situation, making sure that the event is as stress-free as possible. Overall, The Gun Pub is a great choice for any occasion, whether it be a casual lunch or a more formal event. Highly recommended.

Had a family wake here. The staff were great and catered for the situation fantastically. Highly recommend. My only negative was pre grated cheese was used for the sandwiches and wasn’t that great. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I have been in the gun pub a few times now for Sunday lunch without problem but today was a very different story, Me and my partner are getting married in June and wanted to hire the hall at the gun pub I was told after I had finished my lunch the manager would be over to talk to us prior to the week before I had already had a chat with the manager about our interest in the hall,, after speaking with the up most rude manager today I was told she would have to say no to us hiring the hall but would not give us a explanation I can only assume it's because we are from a travelling back ground but she was very quick to take our 150 pound food bill today I would never ever go back to this pub with such a rude nasty manager that we dealt with today stay clear,!!!!! PRIOR TO THIS REVIEW I WROTE MY CHILDREN ARE AT A AGE WHERE THEY DO NOT RUN AROUND OR UPSET ANYBODY AND NOT ONE MEMBER OF STAFF HAVE EVER APPROACHED US AND ASKED US TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN AT THE TABLE I THINK U HAVE US MIXED UP WITH SOMEBODY ELSE U EMBARRASSED ME AT THE BAR IN FRONT OF A FEW PEOPLE TELLING ME U WOULD NOT TAKE OUR BOOKING AND REFUSED A REASON WHY THEN WALKING OFF VERY RUDE U PURPOSELY WAITED FOR US TO SPEND A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO THEN TELL US U WOULD NOT EXCEPT US SO WE ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT AT UR PUB BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO HOLD OUR PARTY MAYBE ITS BECAUSE U WOULDNT WANT A LOAD OF TRAVELLERS IN UR PUB BUT THANK U FOR UR COMPLETE LIES ON THIS REVIEW UR MANGER SKILLS ARE SHOCKING!!! BEST WISHS. Price per person: £90–100 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Afternoon Lauren, Thanks for finding the time to leave us feedback, although we feel that this …Afternoon Lauren, Thanks for finding the time to leave us feedback, although we feel that this review is not an entirely accurate representation of the interaction that took place. Firstly congratulations on the engagement, however yes the owner of the business did politely "respectfully decline to accept the booking" for the wedding reception. Although understandably this could seem unfair, it is as a business our right to do so. Our reservation to quote for the booking was then proved correct after you re-entering the restaurant declaring "we're never coming back to this s**t hole". As you say you have been in a few times before, & it is on these occasions our stuff have had numerous issues with children running riot upsetting other customers. Staff politely asked them to remain seated at the table & asked the adults of the group, but sadly to no avail. Staff have also found members of the group rude & intimidating on several occasions. It is on these grounds alone this booking was declined. Here at The Gun we welcome all, we wouldn't have even known of the travelling background, had you not drawn attention to it here. Implying that we are discriminating in anyway could be considered slander & libel. Payment of the £150 was for goods & services received at the time of visit & irrelevant of the booking. We assume that this is a tactic you are using to somewhat muddy the water. Best Wishes, The Gun More
