Excellent service, although small menu covered everything, did have a specials board nothing on there, but we went mid week. All meals freshly prepared and fresh. I did ask for extras which although not on the menu they accommodated. Fantastic food Good atmosphere, has facility for restaurant to be separated from bar area, hope this is done at busy times. Fantastic thank you

I had an ox cheek lasagna with garlic bread and it was by far one of the tastiest lasagnes I’ve ever had with real shreds of meat in, it was delicious! One of our party had a nut allergy and they were really friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend this hidden gem for brilliant food

Well worth a visit to Hardys, got a little lost when driving but super glad we did. The Korean noodle bowl was fab and ask the chef to add a touch of heat if that’s your thing, I wish I had..but the dish was still tasty. Wonderful service and helpful waitress with narrowing down choices. Wish I had room for dessert.

Three years ago I said to my hubby “what Mayland needs is a place for women to go that’s non threatening and fun, like a cocktail and tapas bar”! It seems that Stuart, owner of Hardy’s, was listening. I have just got back from there, his new cocktail tables and bar area are lovely, the tapas was very reasonably priced (£4 a dish or four dishes for £15) and the passion fruit mojito 👌🏻. I’m definitely going back but next time with my girlfriends.

I was staying at the marina for the evening so thought I’d try this local pub. Well I wasn’t disappointed. It was only me and my dog but was made to feel very welcome. I didn’t have any food so cannot comment on that but the beer (I was drinking the Pravha) was very good! The dog was made very welcome and was offered water. The staff and customers were all friendly. They had live entertainment and nice vibe! What more can you want? Give it a try I’m sure you will enjoy!

Food was quite nice. But, places that put the cheap @rappy sauces on the table are basically saying that they don’t really care about serving quality food. Why they do this is beyond me! If I buy something from a pub or restaurant, why would I want put rubbish mustard or brown sauce on it?? If you put this stuff on tables, then I assume this is the quality of the ingredients in the kitchen. Please take a bit of pride in what you do, and don’t skimp on stuff like this.

We have visited many times before and enjoyed previously, we was really disappointed on our recent visit. Not only with the food but the service too. I ordered the cod and chips the cod was horrible the batter was slimey and so was the cod couldn’t eat much of it all. My daughter ordered the lasagne which was covered in so much cheese it made it greasy and she had to scrape it off to be able to eat it and the salad had so much dressing on it was sloppy. My partner ordered the scampi which had been cooked for too long so it was dry. Service was quick taking our orders but the chef was bringing out the food which makes me wonder what the waitresses were there for. Usually when we visit you get a friendly welcome and goodbye didn’t receive that this time. Limited choice of menu which we understand for was Easter Sunday but that shouldn’t mean the service and quality of meals is limited too.

Popped into Hardys for dinner with the family on my way home from work. Always greeted with a smile and the food is good. Just simple good old fashioned pub food with a few extra dishes such as fajitas to take care of those that want something different. We are by no means regulars but probably get to eat here every 3-4 months. Can highly recommend Stuart and his team who are always willing to do anything extra that you ask for. Very accommodating!

We regularly drive to Hardy's from Woodham for their Liver, onions & bacon as well as Fish&chips. Yesterday we arrived famished, to be informed that the menu has been cut down and my partner's favourite was no longer available!The new scaled down menu is nothing more than what you would expect of a roadside Cafe, certainly not a place claiming to be a Bar& Grill.Partner settled for lasagne while I stuck with the fish & chips. Well what a disappointment as the lasagne was dry and the chips.....well they were fries rather than the chunks chips!As for my fish & chips, what can I say......other than I was sorely disappointed. My fish was half the size it had always been and the chips were fries and dry!We certainly will not be going back.Very disappointing and sad that a place we had come to look forward to going to for lunch every month, has turned into a run of the mill cafe!The staff remain outstanding I must add and always serve with a smile and genuine concern for the customer experience.As for the fantastic full English breakfast that I used to enjoy with my girlfriends several times a year......that too is a thing of the past, as the management has deemed fit to stop this and only open from noon!Poor show!

Still showing the old menu on the web. The pool table has now been moved into the old restaurant area and,although it was great to see people enjoying pool, not what I want to see when eating. Pub used to be full at 8 on a Friday night but seems empty now. Atmosphere gone. We cancelled and went elsewhere. Very disappointed as feel a great local asset has been lost. Won't be back

The new function room at Hardy's takes dining there to a higher level and the new lighter menu gives me the opportunity to have a starter or desert with my main course. Brilliant guys!The servers were attentive and observant of my needs without being "in my face". Overall. I enjoyed a relaxed family meal at a very reasonable price. I will return time and time again. What I don't understand is why Hardy's is not the top restaurant in Mayland. I've eaten in them all and Hardy's is the best.

Situated in a quiet residential area away from any main road I got the feeling that the place is use to its 'regulars'. That be said the staff smiled and we're polite & curtious.We were visiting our elderly aunt who lives locally, so decided to try Hardy's.The food was an absolute delight!Apart from some tough roast potatoes the food couldn't be faulted!We had the mushrooms with cibatta, pork belly strips and pate' with cutney for starters, which we all agreed were very nice and the portion sizes were huge on EVERYTHING! LolWe asked for the kids meals (mini kids roast {£5} and spag bol) to come out with the starters which they did & they were huge too!Followed by the adult Sunday Roasts {£10} (turkey and beef) ~ Lovely.Chicken Fajitas & the Carbonara. All so lovely and tasty!We ordered for deserts the Cherry Bakewell pudding with Ice Cream, Salted Caramel Fudge Cake (BIG hit!) and Crunchie Cheesecake & kids Chocolate Brownie and Ice cream. Not that I had any, but there wasn't any complaints! LolIn total there was 6 adults and 2 children, in all our bill was £170.That was with 2 bottles of wine and plenty of cokes.Not sure how long it will be until we are in the area again, but would like to visit again!And lastly, love the decor and the music play list!

A peculiar pub. I had a meal here in december last year, and whilst the food was nice enough we were the only table in the building so it was short on atmosphere.

3 of us had dinner in here tonight and I was really impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. We had main courses and deserts; the main food was well presented, came out really hot and was clearly fresh. The deserts were delicious and came with the choice of cream, custard or ice-cream. We were even given the choice of cream style. The customer service was excellent, the young lady who served us very friendly and polite. The choice of food was typically pub food, but ranged from Mixed grill to Scampi, to Lasagne to Steaks. Price wise main courses ranged from £9.00 upwards and deserts were mainly £5.00. The restaurant part of the pub is clearly sectioned off, and the whole area was spotlessly clean. There was a nice outdoor area with benches undercover so lovely to sit at on a summers evening. 5 min walk down to the sea wall - great way to burn off a great dinner. .

Had Sunday lunch last week as we have done many times was surprised that there was no mention of the usual roast on the board or indeed on any of the menus, although we were told there was chicken and beef which we all had. The bill was incredibly expensive for 3 X starters 4 X roasts and 3 X desserts and a not by any means large amount of drinks compared to previous visits and nowhere up to the usual standard.

Having been to Hardy's a couple of times in the past for a Sunday lunch (both times the food was good enough), I was excited to try the breakfast. The "Big English", which was two of pretty much all you could want in a fry up came out and was a generous portion and tasted great. However, I was astounded by the price of £12 for a fry up, I wouldn't even expect to pay that in London and in comparison to other places nearby where you can get an equally good breakfast for pretty much half the price, it is hugely overpriced. Overall, the food is good and I must add that the lunch menu isn't overpriced at all, but I think something needs to be done about the price of a fry up.

We all agreed that the meals were good value and certainly filled us up, the ham baguette had several slices of thickly carved, tasty ham and the tuna baguette was well filled and tasty.The outside area is sheltered and pleasant even though it looks out on the car parking area. The inside is divided into an eating area and a bar, all tastefully decorated and having a pleasant ambience. I would thoroughly recommend this bar and will certainly be returning

My brother lives in the area and suggested a visit to Hardy's as a change from our usual lunch venue. I did what I usually do and had a quick peek on here. One of the things that I always find refreshing is an owner who takes time to respond, so Hardy's already had a few brownie points before we got there. The pub is well set out, bright and welcoming. The staff, very polite and friendly. Most of us had the Cajun chicken burger and it was very well done, just Cajun seasoning, no breading or fake stuff no frozen chicken. It was fresh, well cooked and juicy. Good selection of beers and just a nice family friendly pub. Well done! Highly recommended.

Its also nice that Stuart the owner is always available to speak to and my family and I always feel welcome.If you are looking for a place to eat and enjoy yourself this is the place to go.ThanksRay and the family

At last minute we decided to go for a meal Saturday evening, but my husband fancied a drink, so we decided to stay local. We was welcomed through the door, the decor was nicely done. We was shown the table we reserved, sat next to a lovely photo of Sean Connery & Elvis whom are my favourite idols! We ordered a lovely bottle of Pinot Grigio, it was very refreshing. We was shown the menu, which had a great variety of foods. I am a fussy eater and found a good selection to eat, was spoilt for choice! I had the New York chicken in the end with chips & salad. My husband had the steak & ale pie, which chips & peas. The aroma that was coming from the kitchen was lovely. When the food arrived, it looked delicious! My salad was ab fab & the chicken was so tender and moist which flavoured nicely with the BBQ sauce. My husband loved the pie, he was pleased it had a pasty bottom, which he don't get that often. He enjoyed the pie & said it was filled with great chunk of tender beef, his plate was empty! We had a look at the dessert menu, again a good selection. I had the crumble & custard, it was yummy! My husband had the pudding with custard, he said it was perfect portion & tasted lovely. We both had coffee afterwards. The service was great, we was looked after well. We really enjoyed the Meal & atmosphere was good. We be looking forward to coming back here. It's a place to visit!

2 dishes had burnt batter on the fish, The waitress didnt ask us how our meals were until it was too late. We informed them it was burnt and she simply said she would tell the chef. So paid £14 each for burnt fish.

This is our favourite place to eat in the Dengie and the food was always very good. The quality of the steaks at our last visit was so amazing and we were told that the restaurant now sources it's food from local suppliers where they know the farm and growers that supply them

Went here lunch time for a spot of food with a group of friends. Staff were very welcoming warm and friendlyIv never been here before but I understand it's been recently refurbished. It's clean, nicely laid out and areas separate out side to eat drink and smoke.Also worth noting its a 5/top marks on the hygiene rating!The food was all great we all ordered a varied selection from salads, burgers and pie and chips, all of which was severed together and promptly (steak and ale pie with veg and chips plus gravy was a amazing!)Will definitely be visiting again and is highly recommended!

Recently visited hardys for the first time. We were greeted with a warm welcome from the manager and seated in the restaurant side. As soon as we're seated out our table we could hear a lot of noise from the bar side due to the football being on. We were surprised just how noisy it was so if your expecting a quiet meal avoid during the football! Both sections aren't separated by a full wall.The menu has a lot of choice and the portions are generous. The children's menu is also very good and the staff are only to happy to cater to any requirements. We had a nice meal with good service, would visit again if in mayland.

We all enjoyed our fantastic Sunday Roast at Hardy's. For Desert i chose a cheesecake which was one of the nicest I have ever had. The Restaurant is very attractive with comfortable chairs and plenty of space between the tables and the staff were very helpful and attentive. Thank you Hardy's for making Mother's Day so special.

Me and my partner took our 1 year old with us for some lunch today. I had lasagne which was one of the best I've had it was a perfect size portion. My partner had the lamb roast which he said was lovely but disappointed with the veg ( corgette, coliflower and carrots ) and our little boy had chicken nuggets chips and peas which was a big portion for a 1 year old but for older children it would have been fine. We all enjoyed the food but I felt they needed more staff as it was busy with a few large groups so we felt like we were forgotten about. We were served straight away for our main meal but it took a while for our empty plates to be taken and to be offered dessert, we were given the menu but it took so long for the waitress to come over our son started to get restless and tired so we just got the bill instead . Very friendly and welcoming.

I had a lovely meal with my wife from the revised menu,the food was as tasty as it looked and the prices are without doubt as reasonable for the quality of food, as possible. We have a great asset in the village of having this family orientated pub with staff that is always polite and courteous and Friendly to make everyone welcome. I would recommend family and friends to Hardys every time

Big variety to the menu and always great offers, loyalty points too, most of my family and close friends eat at Hardy's and I would highly recommend to anyone, Dan Mayland

Having had Sunday lunches before here, we decided to go today as we had just arrived home from holiday and to save us cooking. As usual the friendly staff looked after us and served up a wonderful full plate of beautiful meats and vegetables. Too full up to have dessert. Thoroughly recommended.

Hardy's never cease to provide great meals with fresh food and a good choice. The Fisherman's feast is exactly what is says on the tin. Cod, scampi, prawns with chips and trimmings. Excellent. The wine choice is good plus several real ales make this an ideal eatery. 5 stars.
