Much improved, is a much brighter and airyer space than it used to be. Dart board and dukebox, big TV for the sport. Good pub is a highly competitive area.

An 'old fashioned' pub. Lovely atmosphere with great ales on offer. Spent a superb hour or so there - could have stayed much longer. Highly recommended for a real ale officianardo.

Great little pub on Maldon. Attended a live event in there, which was a great evening. The Landlord is a really friendly guy! 😉👍🏼

For me one of the best pubs in Maldon, good atmosphere, decent beer only knocked a star off as the barmaid could do with lightening up a bit, been in there a few times now and always seems massively pissed off. Maybes it’s me!

The Carpenters Arms was a much needed spot to relax while we waited for the fireworks. Warm and cosy with great beers. A lovely pub, tucked away off the high street. Well worth a visit.

Stumbled across this pub on a visit to Maldon and booked in for the quiz night. It's a proper pub, with a nice atmosphere. The beer is of a good quality and varied selection at reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and helpful. Quiz was really good and the locals were very friendly. Worth a visit.

me , my partner and our friends went to the carpenters arms last week , the food was absolutely amazing , real nice pub food with a hearty feel , the only thing i have to complain about was the fact that we wanted to go the night before we went and when we booked online they rang us up half an hour later when we had already got ready to say that they are closing and when i asked why they said they wasnt that busy so they closed , even though they was supposedly open for another 4 hours on their website , therefore we had to go the next day .

Time to sort your act out guys winter is coming. Only 4 people in tonight apart from us and all of them offering loads of advice to a 5 stone young girl on how to change a barrel but no actual help. I did hear one gent say to the girl... "If you can move it - then it'll be empty" .... 20 minutes before I got a pint.... Time to fix the fire 🤞 Oh - and the young girl was brilliant by the way - she's a keeper.

The Carpenters is quite simply a "proper pub" that sells proper well kept beer, by proper decent and hospitable people. I love the way its wonderfully basically decorated and that gives it so much charm (I liked the beer clips on the ceiling). Very fair prices too. A real joy to visit despite current restrictions.

This was my first visit. The pub is nicely laid out inside and the barman was pleasant and friendly. I was meeting a friend for lunch and had looked online to check out the menu. Unfortunately, on arrival, we were told that the lighter lunch options weren't available, only full meals. Apparently, they were in the process of changing their menus. As neither of us wanted a large meal in the middle of the day, we settled for a drink and went away hungry. However, that said, it is a pub that I would visit again and the full meals did look lovely.

This is a great drinkers’ pub. It doesn’t do food, but there’s always a good selection of real ales and ciders. Spartan and traditional inside, as a proper pub should be. Friendly service. Situated a little out of the way in Gate Street, but I seldom visit Maldon without coming here for a pint or two.

Congratulations on your C .A.M.R.A. award, you certainly won't be getting one for customer service. After ringing to enquire as to whether you did food, was told that you were starting your menu on Monday 20th April 2015, wonderful!, you would e.mail a menu, even discussed vegetarian options, of which you would have two.Did we need to book, no, shouldn't be that busy on a Monday! So today we drove 15 miles to come to you for lunch only to be told on arrival,sorry we don't do food!What a way to run a business?

This is a great community pub, recently taken over by enthusiastic landlord who loves his real ale (and it shows!). Excellent range of beers, many of them sourced from local breweries. No food at present, although I understand there are plans to offer a limited range soon, including home-made pies from Colchester.

Visited The Queens Head last night with my fiancée to try their new carvery all you can eat roast dinner. The food was outstanding, when they say all you can eat they really mean it, and it includes meat unlike any other I’ve been too. The meat was cooked to perfection, the gammon was the best I’ve had and there was 4 meats to choose from. The chef was previously a butcher and knows how to cook and carve, it was so yummy. There was a good selection of potato’s, yorkies and veg, also all really yummy. The potatoes were crispy outside and fluffy inside and the gravy was a good thickness and also very tasty as it’s made from the meat juices. I was hesitant trying an all you can eat carvery, however this blew other roasts I have tried in Essex out the water. It was as good as an expensive roast that you would find in a bistro pub. My fiancée and I are making our way round local pubs trying their roast dinners and this flew straight to the top of our list! Also - the homemade icecream is outstanding and i’d urge that people try it. It’s really creamy and they have lots of options. Thank you for a lovely dinner!

Looked inviting from the outside so decided to give this establishment a try. Spotless interior , big menu with many tempting options. Our coffee was spot on , just how we like it "proper coffee." Wifey had bacon, brie and cranberry panini which she said was delicious. Myself chicken , bacon and pesto sandwich with granary bread. Thick slices of gorgeous bread with a well packed filling , it was very satisfying. Very good service and highly recommend.

Limited menu, service was brilliant as was my nachos, but the salsa and guacamole were poor. The burgers were not the best but The chips were good.
