Prince of Wales in Maldon

Had fish and chips. Lovely and fresh. Tracey. Good night

Great place. Friendly atmosphere, cosy vibe, dog friendly and good beer.

Friendly, professional pub with excellent staff and wonderful drinks/food. We are regulars at the quiz night for a meal and then the light hearted quiz with a raffle to get a go at “open the box”. Claire, John and the team make you feel totally at home. We liked the pub and way you are treated so much we held a family event there in January and we’re totally looked after. Would highly recommend.

If you haven't been Go the food was absolutely 👌 💯

As a walk leader roaming Essex, I/we get to know the better pubs to eat at. This is easily in the top 5. Always a genuine greeting

My husband and I had a lovely meal here last night it was delicious 👌 My pasta dish had so much flavour better than some of the Italian restaurants I've been to. Starters were nicely presented and my husband's steak pie looked and tasted lovely he said. The staff are really lovely and can't do enough for you! It's a lovely traditional pub with a great atmosphere. I highly recommend 100%.

The amount of times we have been going past this pub we thought we'd try it and we weren't disappointed Excellent atmosphere staff were absolutely friendly and went the extra mile even put a birthday candle on my mother' inlaws cake food was absolutely perfect we will be going back

Lovely village pub. Best in Great Totham. Lovely manager, staff. Great food and ambience.

Village Pub with tasty home cooked food and decent portion sizes. Beavertown neck oil on draft. Decent Sunday roasts. My favourite desert has got to be the brownie or sticky toffee pudding!! The landlords Claire and John are lovely

I’ve already wrote a review I think you need an experienced chef you will get no where with this one plus fresh fish not frozen

First time visit ordered cod and chips the cod was battered but the fish inside was very wet didn’t enjoy at all my husband ordered a starter barbecued chicken wings and for main a small Liver and bacon when we got our food no starter to be seen the waitress apologised she forgot to order it my husband said he will still have it within 5 minutes it was served stone cold we sent it back didn’t want anymore I don’t know what sort of chef they have there but not experienced I know because I am an experienced chef so awful

Visited twice recently within a few weeks. Standard has dropped in the kitchen. Steak in pie has some very hard bits as if frozen before, Crumble on the second visit was not cooked in the container as before but simply compiled, apple and sultanas, the crumble added but not cooked together. Need to reconsider kitchen habits. Howard Massey 2 sept 2023

Good food good service reasonable prices

We have thoroughly enjoyed returning to The Prince of Wales, Great Totham. The warm friendly atmosphere and delicious food is worth the drive from Scotland each time! Well done John & Clare!

What a lovely pub and the best landlady and landlord who are so welcoming. Great service and a great roast. Would really recommend.

Lovely place to go, great food and friendly staff

To my regret, for some reason I had never been to this pub even though it is only 5 miles from us. Went for a Sunday roast and it was very, very good with friendly atmosphere and attentive staff and Landlord. If you like your real ales( I do!) they serve Adnams Ghostship and London pride which are kept very well. Left a happy bunny. Will definitely visit more often.

My daughter sang here. What an amazing place, friendly staff and people, can't wait to go back.

Out for a family meal. Excellent choice of food and good value. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We will be returning.

Great pub with really friendly staff, will be back!

Lovely atmosphere . Staff very welcoming and nice . Beer fantastic . Food absolutely delicious : extremely well cooked and very good size portions for the price . Just found my new place to have a Sunday roast AAA

Great atmosphere and beer selection. Be aware, food is often server only at the evening on weekend to avoid frustration :)

First visit here but certainly not the last Friendly welcoming staff, great atmosphere, and delicious home cooked food. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great pub food is fab. Staff warm and friendly

Clearly doing well for a village pub. Food good but portion management leaves something to be desired.

Great Sunday roast. Had a good selection of gluten free options as well

We came for food yesterday for my partners birthday. The staff are friendly, attentive and nothing is a bother! The food was out of this world, lots of flavour, with a plentiful portion! The price was perfect! Overall a brilliant evening and well worth it.

Fantastic place, lovely food, great helpful staff, will definitely make regular visits, the management John and Claire are doing a great job, well done guys.

A proper pub with a welcoming atmosphere, a good selection of beers and friendly staff. I visit regularly with a group of friends.

Great pub didn't eat but will be soon

Good pub food and friendly staff, great value for money.

Great food, excellent and friendly service.

Wow! What a beautiful pub, so cosy, welcoming and food was outstanding. First time and won’t be the last…New Years Eve lunch with friends. Fresh, home cooked, pub food that was tasty, plentiful and delicious. Spoilt for choice with a fabulous menu and great specials on the board. Service was excellent - compliments to the chef, owners and staff. So pleased our friends took us here…We will be back 110% and by the way…top tip…the after eight cheesecake is AMAZING!

Very good meal friendly staff and helpful thanks

Clare all I am going to say is thankyou the food you supplied was amazing your staff are very friendly and nothing to much trouble thank you so much

Cosy dog friendly pub with great food. Their pies are worth an order- usually handmade. Staff friendly and always accommodating. Plenty of parking.

Super pub. Claire and John are the perfect landlords. Friendly pub, great atmosphere. Lovely food too.

Food excellent, pub was bit noisy but it was full and very busy, staff excellent

Great food and friendly service...

Lovely country pub nice staff and surroundings I am one of their singers Gary Oliver I was well looked after , nice place

Visited today with family four adults and two children for my sons birthday. This was our 3rd visit and once lived up to all expectations. I had the small plated roast which has it says small but fine for me. Great value for money we paid we all had a couple of drinks and three desserts £110. Will be back soon

The new Landlords of this beautiful pub are amazing. The food is outstanding too. Nothing is too much trouble.

Really lovely pub, the home cooked food is amazing and the new staff are lovely, very attentive! This is now our local pub and we will definitely be back!

Great pub for the family. Welcoming staff and great atmosphere. Delicious meals made fresh. Great choice of food on both main menu and kids menu. Definitely somewhere I'll be going back to

Friendly staff. Good food. Reasonable prices.

Hadn’t been here for a long time even though we knew it had new management. Just didn’t make it but decided to book for Sunday lunch. Food very nice and prompt service. We knew it had been taken on again so hope Claire and John can keep it up to these standards. We will be back for dinner and one of your music evenings soon.

John & Clare have taken over the pub, we ate there tonight and had a lovely meal. Will definitely be back. All the best and we wish them all the luck xx

Great over 55's food deals. Good beer and cider.

After 4 failed attempts to o eat out we drove past the prince of Wales it was 755 and kitchen was closing at 8. They was extremely helpful and still did us a meal. The fish was so fresh I'm surprised it didn't swim too my plate it was truly delightful. Husband had Cajun chicken again beautifully cooked and moist definitely not reheated. After speaking to the owners they had only taken over the night before, hats off to them if that's the level of customer service and food we would quiet happily become regulars

Very grumpy bar tender. Told us we needed to book first but lots of space so we had to look elsewhere.

Our favourite.Good food well cooked do couple of gluton free meals on menu. Are helpful. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Nice friendly pub, with lovely food in large and small portions.

Myself and two friends had a wonderful meal here. The service was also excellent and food reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere in the pub too. Would highly recommend. My friend and I had Cajun chicken and our other friend had scampi and chips, the chips were to die for !

My husband and I have frequented The Prince of Wales on many many occasions. Alice and Conor are very sociable helpful and will do whatever they can to make you welcome. The food is exceptional. Its so very very fresh and delicious. Always plenty on...

This is a welcoming local pub serving pub food at a reasonable prices. Suit the old and young alike.

Nice friendly pub. Always a warm welcome.

Enjoyed the food. Staff were lovely

Great Food and Great service in Great Totham. Highly recommended. 😊

Lovely dog friendly pub. The landlord seems like a great guy.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely food.

Great pub with friendly and relaxed staff and well worth a visit 👍

Loved it. Great food and service

Food good (5 stars) but suffers from faded grandour syndrome and lack of soap in the toilets didnt help either.

Simply fantastic, a little haven of its own. Fabulous beer, service and food. The staff simply couldn't do enough for us and constantly went the extra mile to accommodate our needs. Couldn’t fault the cleanliness of the place, toilets had just been cleaned when we arrived! I would like to give 10 stars but it's not available! Thank You Connor & Alice! See you again soon

Tablets dirty the cloth used to wipe the table down looked like it was a old one not clean

Great take away fish and chips! Thank you 😊

My husband, 2 dogs and I recently popped in to this beautiful country pub while on our holidays to Essex. We were met with a warm welcome by the young chap behind the bar and we ordered a light lunch. I had garlic mushrooms, which...

My hubby gary drinks here on a friday with his buddies but i went with him and we ate in there. The meal was great and the people who run it are great and friendly.

Lovely pub great food great staff great atmosphere

Very good food at a reasonable price coupled with good Gin and Tonic made it a worthwhile place to eat.

Friendly and courteous. Went for a funeral wake and it was very well done .

Fantastic conner is a great landlord, go see for yourself

Always a wonderful experience, team there are fantastic, great value for money and feeling of a proper village pub.

Youll always get a warm welcome at The Prince of Wales, it's run like a proper pub in the heart of the village community. The drinks selection is good, and the fresh food menu is wonderful. We always feel at home here, table service is...

Lovely welcoming pub, great service and amazing food. Had the over 55's portion which was ideal for lunch.

We visited a dated market that Saturday morning and decided to go for some lunch. We had visited the Prince of Wales previously and had some bar food and when we arrived it was full. We spoke to the manager who told us that he took over managing the Public House several months earlier. We asked if we could book a table for lunch but he said they were fully booked however he could fit us in if we can vacate the table within 1 1/2 hours which we agreed. My wife chose a roast and I chose a burger and chips, both meals vere very tasty with great service.

Come here all the time with family and friends! Great food, great drink selection and great staff! Cannot recommend this pub enough for anyone looking for a nice meal and the best atmosphere.

Great village pub, great food, lovely atmosphere, warm and welcoming landlord and staff, our go to pub

There only a few pubs that make you feel welcome and do good beer their food is good too

Always a fantastic place to go for food and/or drink. Conor and Alice are always welcoming and friendly. Pub is dog friendly and baby friendly.. And the Sunday roast is 100% worth booking in for!

Fantastic food wouldn’t go anywhere else, and very friendly atmosphere.

Lovely pub. Great food and wonderful service.

Been here over 10 times in the last few years. Always felt very welcome and the food has always been very good. Think it's dog friendly too as there is always a well bahaved dog somewhere in the pub. Keep up the good work!

Great food friendly staff nothing too much trouble

Great atmosphere & very welcoming team behind the bar. Backed up by a good selection of food at extremely reasonable prices. Couldn’t recommend more .. enjoy !

We eat out almost every sunday, and have visited many local pubs we have had some very goods roasts, well this one tops the lot, lovely. A choice of a small roast for 7.95, or large for 10.95, great for us, as my wife prefers...

What a turnaround! Had a wonderful post-Christmas Sunday roast here with all the family. Lovely experience. We used to avoid the Prince under previous management, they were nice enough people but the food wasn't great and the interior had gotten a little shabby. Now looks very clean, cosy and well cared for, with comfy seats and plenty of space so you're not sitting on top of other diners. The food is great, with everything you'd expect from a quality homemade roast, including a particularly good cauliflower cheese and perfectly cooked meat. I had lamb (decent cuts, not overly fatty) and my wife had chicken, with compliments all round. They even gave us a decent jug of very tasty extra gravy, which always goes down well with our lot. The service was good and reasonably quick, we were served by warm and smiley staff who were very welcoming and certainly kept our drinks topped up! I felt I had to knock off a star as two of our dinners were missing roast spuds and the dining area where we sat was a bit too cold for comfort when we arrived, to the point where we had to leave the kids jumpers on... however the staff resolved the spuds issue pretty much immediately and in fairness we did get there right at the start of the lunch rush whilst the place was still warming up. Other than those two small bits of feedback I'd give full credit to the new management and staff for levelling up what is now a lovely local. We will definitely be going back.

Had a Christmas dinner for 30 with various combinations that were pre ordered. All was very well organized and served with smiley faces. The food was delicious,plentiful and piping hot. I am looking forward to returning to try out other dishes. Thanks for looking after...

Love the place great food, takes somtime to cook. But good staff to chat to nice attitude

A family Birthday get-together was the reason for our visit, and we were not disappointed. If you want ‘fashionable,’ ‘fine dining,’ ‘pretty food’ or small portion ‘nouvelle cuisine’ then I suggest you go somewhere else. However, if you want a big old-fashioned, plate full of...

Good food, welcoming staff and good prices. More more could you want Not huge choice of meals, but includes veggie options. Roast is good.

Had a nice meal with friends. A weloming pub to socialise A vey frfeindly local pub and restaurant plenty parking places

Great place to eat very welcoming

Good tasty sunday roast in a proper traditional pub

Excellent atmosphere good food pleasent surroundings

First visit for a few years, apparently new owners, food adequate, lacking atmosphere, really does need a woman's touch . Seems to be lacking a welcome touch as well .

Good friendly pub And good food

Nice and friendly village pub with great food

No food service from 2.30 until 6pm

Very good food and the quiz night on Thursday eve is great too
