Tea Rooms/Restaurant
Today, The Hollywood is a well known and established local venue, catering for weddings, functions, conferences etc. Originally, it stood on an un-made section of Shipwrights Drive, where tea dances were held and a tuck shop provided lunch time treats for the children of King John School.
The building itself has changed little over the years, albeit there have been extensions to provide larger premises, enabling the proprietor, Mr Mike Goff, to hire out the rooms for various functions.

We are celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary, and had our wedding breakfast here, and it was great, thank you Mike, best regards

My son had his very nice wedding and reception at The Hollywood in 2009. I can remember it as our tuck shop back in 1950s when I was at The Shipwright secondary school. Now sadly it has been replaced by houses. It’s a shame another bit of Benfleet history has been lost.
Now unfortunately knocked down and replaced with houses.
We had our wedding reception at the Hollywood, April 10th 1948, the road was still unmade.
