The Punch Bowl in Paglesham has been named Essex's best restaurant by OpenTable diners, with a 4.8-star rating.

The Punch Bowl in Paglesham has been named Essex's best restaurant according to OpenTable's latest Diners' Choice: Best Overall Restaurants in Essex, as of 5 November. The rankings are based on diner reviews collected over four months from the OpenTable restaurant booking website. The 17th-century pub and restaurant is located in rural south Essex and is run by Rob and Sally Beaumont. It has received a 4.8-star rating from 165 reviews and holds two AA Rosettes.

The restaurant's menu follows a nose-to-tail philosophy and focuses on flavour-driven, unpretentious dishes. Everything is made in-house, from bread to mayonnaise, using local, seasonal and organic ingredients. The menu changes daily to reflect the freshest available produce and regularly features day-boat fish, rare breed steaks, offal and vegetarian options. The Punch Bowl also offers two or three roast options every Sunday and hosts regular food events that highlight classic cooking and unusual ingredients. The pub reopened in January 2024.
