The Bell Inn in Maldon

Excellent food, service and value for money

Friendly local with good selection of beers and excellent food. We stopped for lunch and the sandwiches were great.

Honestly the best place for a Roast. The roast potatoes are the perfect crispy and fluffy, loads of veg. and. The. CHEESECAKE!!!! OMG!! Its the BEST! Highly Recommend!!

Lovely place great beer garden. Food was delicious and service excellent. Would highly recommend 👌

Have eaten here a few times it never disappointing it fantastic

Great staff and great food what else can you ask for

Beautiful frontage, the flowers are colourful and look stunning. The garden is lovely too with seating outside. There is a duck pond with ducks and chickens in a coup. Sunday roast can be highly recommended. Not only is it great value for money, it is very tasty with generous portions. Sticky toffee pudding and cheese cake are highly recommended too. A happy find on our way home from a weekend away. It was a perfect end to our weekend. Well worth a visit.

We had the pleasure of attending a wedding at this venue / pub a couple of weeks ago , the food was amazing, the staff went above and beyond to help out with everything they really could not do enough to help and make it an amazing day for the bride and groom and their guests for the day , a truly amazing venue and staff

Lovely food and service, great friendly atmosphere

Visited today with a U3A group. The food was excellent and served by friendly helpful staff. Good choice of ales so well worth the visit.

Good beer. Very good food. £30 per head, including drinks.. not bad at all.

First visit to this lovely country pub. Traditional food is excellent and locally sourced, and I can't recommend their pies enough, and they sell Guinness, that ticks most boxes for me :-)

I came here with my family yesterday. We had such a great time the food was delicious! The waitress was amazing she really went all out to make our family meal special! Thank you! I highly recommend this pub looking forward to coming back soon.

Lovely old pub in the centre of the village. Good pub grub and a reasonable selection of cask beers. Nice atmosphere. Well worth a visit but book as its busy all day long.

Lovely place for a bit of lunch

Good food, great staff, nice pub

Friendly staff, cosy interior, nice surroundings

Didn't eat. Great location quintessential English country pub

Lovely roast beef & vegetables £14.95. Some of the vegetables come from their own allotment

We went here at 12.15 on a Thursday lunch time. The place was very clean. It had a nice garden area outside. The food was lovely. The lady that served us was very accommodating and helpful. Will definitely go back.

I rate this restaurant Top class and will be back more often. Thank you for making my Mums birthday a memorable meal and celebration.

Very nice food, and friendly staff,

Well my first visit to this pub. For a wake. Lovely place and the food that was made for the buffet. Amazing. All homemade and really tasty. Well done

Very good food and service coupled with good prices.

Hands down best roasties iv ever eaten! Lovely tender lamb would of loved a bit of stuffing in there though 😁

Had Sunday lunch here for the first time today. Lovely pub, cosy but tidy, and immaculately clean. Food is very good, home cooked food. Everything we had was delicious. Roast beef or turkey came with lots of fresh veg as well as crispy potatoes and all the trimmings! Lots of other options on the menu too. Deserts were too good to miss, including a pear and ginger crumble which was full of fruit. Tables were placed apart so you had plenty of space. Service was very good and friendly. Such a lovely pub, traditional and yet not musty. Really loved it and look forward to going back. Highly recommend.

A great village pub with excellent food and staff

Excellent bar food, nice place for a meal, very good friendly staff

Sat out in the garden. Lovely food and good service.

Unfortunately it's been closed because of Covid! I walk past it every day with the dog, and I'm looking forward to it opening, whenever that might be, and support my local village pub!

Great food and a lovely welcoming atmosphere and team. Very well organised.

Delicious food and friendly atmosphere

Enjoyed fantastic takeaway fish and chips tonight, first fish Friday of 2nd lockdown!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

(Tier2 lockdown). Clean and friendly village pub. Social distancing all in place, clear guidance and a decent pint of Guinness, outdoor heater in for those needing to be outside...

Friendly efficient staff, tasty food and safe.

Friendly staff. Good food. Generous portions. Covid safe. Nice friendly atmosphere. Good prices. No complaints.

Excellent food highly recommend the homemade plum crumble excellent service friendly atmosphere deffo coming there again

Found this beautiful friendly pub in the Brit stops camping book. The owners allowed us to stay in our camper van in the field at the rear. They were so friendly , we had a lovely meal outside in the garden. The food was excellent & social distancing measures great. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely food friendly staff great space

Gorgeous food in picturesque pub. Really friendly staff

Great meal and good service would recommend this friendly pub to anyone 👍

Great food, great owners, staff are great, clean welcoming.

Quiet and quaint pub, staffed by polite and friendly people. The food was delicious and served quickly. We shared a sharing starter between three and then had individual mains (macaroni cheese, garlic mushrooms, hunter's chicken), but the portions were substantial and we didn't have room for dessert. There was a good range of ales and wines. I would thoroughly recommend it and would happily go again.

Good selection of beers and wines, nice staff and atmosphere, friendly pub from the off, had sirloin steak which was superb and cooked as requested👍

Friendly. Great food. Needs another ale on to be the perfect pub

Great little pub, friendly staff and great food

Excellent food attentive service with a real old village pub feel.

We have been going to the bell for some months now mostly on a Friday night . Food always great ,pies are outstanding and recently the lamb dish has been a good contender for first place. A very friendly pub to spend a relaxed evening in, a feeling of being amongst friends. Long may it continue. Round two ,booked in for the pubs first Tapas night today. Usual great standard of food and service I hope it becomes a regular feature, 😁 We have been going to the bell now on most Fridays for a meal. A couple of weeks ago we had our usual meal paid the bill and went home. The following week we returned, the manager came to us at the bar and gave us some money. When I asked what it was for he said when they checked their bills it was noticed we had been given the wrong bill and overpaid so they were correcting the error. This was a first and I was very impressed, if only the world was more this way.
