Smugglers Den, Hullbridge
The Smugglers Den is a members club located on the bank of the beautiful River Crouch with views across the river to open countryside. The river is home for many activities with small and large craft travelling further up to Battlesbridge or launching to go skiing eastwards towards Burnham on Crouch. Most weekends sailing dinghies can be seen racing from the adjacent Hullbridge Yacht Club or from Eyott Yacht Club on the northern side of the river in Fen Creek. Sunsets over the river are a real joy, all of which can be viewed from our Private River Garden with tables of varying capacities for individuals or groups.
Adjacent to the Smugglers is Kendal Park, which is a well-kept nature reserve and river walk, ideal to build up a thirst to quench with a pint of Smugglers Real Ale, a bottle of Vino or any other drink that takes your fancy. Food is available after 3pm in association with The Broadway Grill supplying a host of English and Greek Mezza’s, Kebabs and a vast selection of freshly made pizzas.
