Local record
History of this pub
Manor Farm was a large pub close to Rainham town centre, with a separate bar as well as the restaurant and plenty of customer seating. CAMRA records breakfast, lunch and evening service, a garden, family facilities and an adjoining hotel. Its listing says the property was being offered for sale in July 2024, more than two years before the final national closure.
Rainham History reports that the building began as gas showrooms around 1928 and became the Manor Farm Beefeater in the 1980s. Its photographs show the restaurant before its exterior was repainted and before the Premier Inn was added in 2011, on part of the car park. This gives Manor Farm an unusual earlier use: a showroom on the High Street, rather than an old coaching inn. The 1980s conversion is the broad period given by the local account; no exact opening year is supplied.
