The Mighty Oak Tap Room in Maldon

We stopped here for a Sunday roast after a walk and enjoyed an excellent meal in a cosy, friendly old village pub. I'm already planning another walk in the area so we can return.

Had a lovely meal a table of 10 for my birthday food service 10 out of 10

Discovered this pub by chance a week ago when walking a local circular hike in the area. We called to see if they had a table and unfortunately they were fully booked. At the end of the hike we popped in for a drink. The pub is geared up for food mostly on Sundays, but the team were so accommodating and welcomed us to sit at the bar. The atmosphere was lovely - very traditional country pub vibes - with the staff knowing most customers by name. The team were so kind and accomodating, they even managed to squeeze us in for a Sunday Roast which we were so grateful for after our hike. Food was delicious, service was great and everyone was so friendly! We will be back!

Very nice hotel, furnished beautifully. Lovely well equipped room. Lots of nice touches. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Bar offers interesting cocktails. Restaurant was closed as it was a Monday. But there's a good I dian right next door.

We turned up on 12 motorcycles this morning which was probably not very helpful. We almost filled the seating capacity. We were welcomed and the service was spot on. The food arrived faster than I expected and the quality was excellent. A proper decent cafe with the bonus of an excellent range of baked goods, cakes etc. Not one of those fluffed-up and overpriced places you tend to find nowadays. Will definitely be visiting again but we will give the owners a heads up before turning up mob-handed.
