I don't know if this place has had a change of management recently but there have been quite a few notable changes, not all for the best... They don't seem to like turning the heating on these days even if their customers are shivering. They've got some new beers on which are decent (Beavertown/Brewdogs) but always seem to be sold out. Also got a new Pinot Grigio which is just cheap and nasty. New decor behind the bar which is fine. Some of the same staff though, who are great to be honest.

Planned stop on a night out to watch the rugby, as we found the pub were showing the match. They have a large room with a big screen, showing most major sports. For significant matches it’s worth booking seats. There is also a screen at the other end o& the pub with good seating and standing areas. So, based on our criteria for having a beer or two whilst watching the match, it met our expectations.

We took part in our 1st pub quiz at The Black Rabbit on Thursday night. The bar staff, Ben & Beth were friendly and regularly visited our table collecting glasses and clearing empty plates - the food was really nice. Jade was a great quiz master and came round checking our progress. The atmosphere in the pub was lovely and the other customers were friendly too. A jewel in Maldon's high street.

I'm looking forward to paying this pub a visit this coming weekend. However I'd like to know why there was a change of name from The Ship and Anchor to the Black Rabbit? And what would be the chances of seeing any regulars from the 1990's - when Stan then Jo could be found behind the bar?

Female member of staff was argumentative and rude, accusing different groups of stealing money from the pool table when it was on the floor.

Went here last night for dinner with a friend. staff are nice, decor is cool but the food was awful which was so disappointing. Menu is predominantly Greek food so i ordered the Loaded Fries which was chicken yeeros, onions, bbq sauce and tsziki on a large portion of fries. the whole meal lacked flavour and was very bland the only thing that had any taste was the tzsiki. the chicken seemed to be prepare and bought in due to the perfect little cubes it was in. And it was all stone cold. my friend had the vegan burger which she said was nice but again her chips were stone cold. we seemed to be the only ones eating so its not like the kitchen was overwhelmed. wouldn't recommend for food, better off going to witherspoon, at least the food is hot

The service was good and we were glad to find a dog friendly pub. Sadly I couldnt eat my meal, the chicken yeeros was rubbery, very strange texture. When I called the waitress over, I went to explain and she mentioned the texture before I got my words out. So it sounds like people have complained before. Children's meals were also small portions , definitely wouldn't recommend.

I went to this place to meet my mummy friends for a play and a bite to eat. While soft play is ok it's not very clean and toys were scattered all over the floor. Menu - very bland pizza or burgers, not a child friendly menu. Overall it's ok for a one off visit but I'd rather make the effort and go further a field

The black rabbit is not safe for children considering it has a soft play area. Owners is rude, the menu is just basic burger or pizza. Nothing really I want to give my children. The owners leave their children's potty laying around for them to do their business and leave it for ages. Would not recommend. Also music is playing so loud the children cannot watch the films that are put on.

Called in on Saturday after booking a table for lunch on line, however when we got there we were informed no food as kitchen had a problem. So we were somewhat disappointed as we had walked all the way there, decided to stay for a drink as we were there. Not a great selection of ales a few were off for some reason but a fair selection off gins but not all that were on the menu which again was disappointing. My daughter when there on Monday night but again still no food being served so they also had to go elsewhere. Friendly enough staff and a nice atmosphere inside they just need to sort out the kitchen and bar then this really will be a pub worth going to.

This pub is so beautiful and had a wonderful atmosphere, we did go during the rugby so was very busy but the staff was still smiling and making sure everyone needs were met. With the food I was really shocked they had a vegan menu which was huge along side an amazing normal menu! I went for the Mac and cheese veggie chicken burger with fake bacon and BBQ sauce, oh my word it was the best burger I have had in ages! Thank you so much!!! My partner said his was really good too, plus the halloumi we had on the side. I really recommend this pub if your near it!

Started pricing up before I'd ordered most of drinks and manager didnt bother to say goodbye as we all left. One visit is enough.

Went here for the first time today as my daughter and her friends go all the time so decided to give it a try even took the dog as they are dog friendly. Found a table outside in the sunshine and downloaded the app. On the first attempt found the app very hard to use but after the first go it seemed a lot more simpler to use. Ordered and paid for our drinks and they arrived nice and quickly. After the first go we found it easy to order food and then more drinks. Food was to a very good standard and plentiful no complaints from any of us. Will we go again for sure good selection of food and drinks friendly pleasant staff.

Visited this place for lunch on the way home from a shopping trip, the first thing we noticed were that the two ladies serving both had very untidy unkempt hair, none of them were wearing any sort of headwear to keep their hair off their faces, the welcome wasn't very warm either, the pies were slightly overdone but hot and the mash was just warm, the pies did not have a lot of flavour to them but there was a noticeable twang to them, possibly mixed herbs not quite sure, the meal was passable but doubt that we would eat there again, the hygiene issue needs to be addressed as we also noticed that the staff were also dragging big bags if potatoes around in between serving although they did put on a a pair of rubber gloves to do this but I doubt they washed their hands after taking the gloves off.

On the 5th October a group of us were booked for a meal at the Green Man: we had booked by email a few days before and the day before we phoned to confirm and change the numbers from 8 to 7. We were told that would be fine and no problem. On the day we arrived and were told they had no record of the booking because it wasn’t in the book. The bar staff said we couldn’t have booked by email or it would be in the book. We said we’d phoned the day before and were told that would be fine: the bar staff said we must have phoned the wrong number. We used the same phone and pressed redial: the staff said we should wait a moment as their phone was ringing. We pointed out that proved we’d used the right phone number: the bar staff said she’d no idea about that and we couldn’t have made a booking because it wasn’t in the book. Her attitude throughout our discussion was extremely off-hand, bordering on rude: she gave no hint of an apology and no indication of what could have gone wrong with their system for taking bookings. Even when we’d proved that we’d phoned the right number, she refused to accept that we’d contacted you at all and simply said you were too busy and couldn’t give us a meal. It was made very clear that she just wanted us to go away. Luckily we were able to make a booking on the spot for the King’s Head, who in complete contrast to the Green Man were very helpful & gave us an excellent meal. It is a great pity that their standard of service and politeness has deteriorated so much, since we as a group regularly sail to Burnham and have used the Green Man for many years; however we shall no longer trouble the Green Man with our custom since it is clearly not wanted.
