History of this pub
The Watermill was built in the 1970s as the Felmores estate in Pitsea was being constructed. In later years it became a family-friendly Beefeater with leather booths and full table service, while the Premier Inn beside it grew larger. CAMRA records that after the chain closed on 10 September 2026 the pub was changed to become part of the hotel.
