Sunday Roast Platter - The Best!!!
Probably the best Sunday Lunch menu is Maldon right now. The Sunday Roast Platter is a must. A mix of succulent meats, superbly roasted potatoes, veg and the trimmings. Super bar service and a great wine list. Service with a smile… very happy customer.. would highly recommend. Nice job team.

Top marks for Babs (Barbara)
My wife and I visited this business on Sunday for a drink. It was a wonderfully warm day. We experienced a very friendly and helpful service. At the time, I was accidentally overcharged. Had I asked for a receipt, I would have immediately detected it. Following our visit, I became aware of the error. I rang the premises and spoke to the owner, Babs. She apologised for the mistake, and told me that if I were to pop by, she or a member would reimburse me. Today. I returned with my wife. Babs was in attendance and immediately remembered our telephone conversation, and without my having to provide further evidence, offered to refund me the overcharge. Instead, we were given drinks of a higher value without having to pay the extra. We felt very welcome there. Babs is a very friendly and understanding person. We will certainly return. Whilst there, my wife enjoyed her squid in chili sauce

Great service. Great food.
Great position lovely view of the river. Really good menu lots of fish and also steak. Good variety of gluten free options. The crab salad with chunky chips was a great choice. The young lady serving everyone outside today was doing a great job on a very hot day and was so helpful.

Impromptu lunch - discovered a gem
What a lovely little gem! Popped in for morning coffee, stayed for lunch too. Friendly, great value. Maldon is definitely worth a visit. Don't overlook this charming town.

Great food and hospitality
We had no booking, but made exceedingly welcome, shown straight to table. Order taken promptly and meals served without undue delay. Good choice or real ales and many fish options on menu (also non fish). We had crab salad + portion chunky chips….. and seared tuna steak….both 5*. This was only quick ad-hoc visit, but need to return to work through starters and more mains. Standard of food was way beyond ‘pub grub’.
