Restaurant review: The Peterboat, Leigh-on-Sea
The Peterboat is pretty much synonymous with Old Leigh.

The Peterboat
The pub, perched on the very edge of the estuary, has been there for centuries (since 1757 in fact) and on a sunny summer’s evening there are few places finer to stop for a spot of supper and a cool beverage – or two.
After months of work in the winter off-season, it now has an extended bar and dining area with more seats (handy as it gets super busy.) Thankfully, however the Peterboat lost none of its public house charm in the revamp. Nor have any of its classic dishes (yes, cockle chowder I’m looking at you) been ditched. In fact, the menu has not been amended, specials aside, for at least a year. No pointless, change-for-change’s-sake here, thank you very much.
Today I’m loving… this Darlings of Chelsea sofa
Sofas are undoubtedly one of the items for a home it really is worth spending a little bit of cash on.
Because, let’s face it, you’re probably going to spend a fair bit of time curled up on them over the years (and yes, if it’s a good ‘un, it really will last years. Ours was custom-made for my husband’s grandad about 25 years ago and it’s still going strong in our lounge…)
And this Galloway corner sofa is the stuff couch dreams are made of!
Totally tropical
Today I’m loving… the world on a plate (literally!)
An innovative collaboration between two iconic brands – Seletti and Diesel – has resulted in some, ahem, out of this world, plates!
