The town’s first ever pub, the Lock & Barrel remains Frinton’s favourite

Despite its coastal location, Frinton-on-Sea was long known as a ‘dry’ town - remarkable for its distinct lack of a pub. The Lock & Barrel changed all that though, bringing brilliant ales and proper pub food to the town’s much-loved Connaught Avenue.

Set among the independent shops and boutiques of "the Bond Street of the East Coast", the pub is the perfect place to recharge your batteries after a hard day's shopping - and a great spot for refreshment after a day at the beach.

Come on in!

There’s a trio of top ales on the pumps, plus popular lagers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, and there’s a tempting menu of traditional favourites served every lunchtime (and evenings at weekends).

With a wonderful open fire to warm you up on a cold winter's night, and two pleasant courtyard areas for when the seaside sun shines, The Lock & Barrel is a popular pub all year round. 

Not just Frinton’s first pub - also its finest!
