Travellers Joy Photo The Travellers Joy dates back to the 18th century and the site was formerly used for public hangings!  The pub's name originates from a flower which was renowned for growing in the area at the time.  Located just 2 minutes from Rayleigh town centre with its train station, we are close to Rochford and Basildon. We re-opened following a refurbishment in April 2008 to which the colour scheme is deep burgundies, browns, mustards and dark blues, which blend together to give a great look.  There are also stylish fixtures & fittings with interesting features such as booth seating with TV's in them where channel's such as children's and sports can be viewed.  It is all open plan however there is a separate Sports Bar which is particularly busy on Fridays and mid-week when a match is shown, but you can enjoy sport here anytime. We are a trouble free venue but have the added bonus of security here at weekends as this is quite a popular place to be.  Part of the Hungry Horse chain we serve hearty meals every day from the extensive menu. We attract many diners in the area and have become one of the best Hungry Horse pubs for meals.  If it's just a drink you want our 'Horse Bar' has a peaceful atmosphere where you can relax in comfort or something a little more involved our quiz night or pool competition.  Here at the Travellers Joy we will offer you a friendly greeting any time.
