Situated in the heart of Billericay, 3 min walk to the station. Named after one of Billericay’s old inns, this was a near neighbour of the pub which now bears its name. In the early 1800s, 3 coaches a day stopped in High Street, on their way from Southend to London. The Rising Sun ran a daily horse-drawn service, leaving at 7am. Opposite the Rising Sun, & behind a blacksmith’s shop, was the Half Moon beerhouse. It had been thought that The Blue Boar stood on the site of 39 High Street (these premises), but, now, number 49 is believed to mark the spot. With 5 changing Real Ales rotated from local breweries such as Bishop Nick, Maldon, Jack Rabbit, Georges Brewery & a little further a field, Nethergate, Wantsum, Woodfordes & Adnams. Plus Abbot, Doombar & Ruddles always on the pumps. A spacious accessible pub with tables out the front & a large beer garden for those sunny days, or sit by the open fire during the colder months. Food served from 8am to 10pm Monday to Sunday. Regular quiz nights and fund raising events. Families welcome throughout the pub. Pay & display car park to the rear. This pub offers something for everyone.
