Wibblers Brewery Taproom & Kitchen in Maldon

Went on a Friday lunchtime. Very pleasant staff and a very big menu for a small establishment. Decently priced too. Chicken burger good, cheese baguette OK, huge plate of chips. We were there quite early so not sure if service might be affected later on as quite a few people arrived.

Went in for a drink, stayed for dinner. The choice of beers was good. Dinner was very nice, I had 2 starters and fries instead of a main and my husband had the burger. And all at a reasonable price. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be going back.

This place blew me away ! I had a steak which I ordered medium rare it was cooked to perfection. Followed by a crumble for dessert which was was nice and hot really enjoyable in the colder seasons. Had brilliant service the waitresses were really helpful and topped the experience not a bad word to say .

Went here with my partner, We really enjoyed the food and the beer was great. I am a vegetarian and I chose a nut roast which was really good and at a great price too. Staff were so friendly and had big smiles throughout. Would recommend to everyone who wants a fantastic lunch .

Very disappointed with the experience we had at wibblers, most of the food was over cooked and poor. The steak wasn’t cooked how we asked but the waiters did fix this for us however the waiters were extremely poor.

The staggered seating timings means that there is no waiting to order and main food comes quickly. Table clearing could be quicker.

Such a huge disappointment…..drove from Southend to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The food was a plate of over fried mush…. A vegan platter a huge bowl of olives, peanuts and toast ( not pitta bread) a few fried falafel (frozen) and humus. And so expensive… and so tasteless…shan’t be returning or recommending anyone else to go here ☹️☹️☹️

An absolute disappointment. We were looking forward to a celebration lunch for my birthday 🎂 and the food was abysmal. A vegan platter consisting mainly of olives, peanuts and convenience food which was fried to mush.. Potato bravas arrived as large boiled potatoes in a yomato sauce. The tapas didn't fare better with once again fried frozen food; a cheese.ploughmans had some cheese placed on dome salad leaves plus lots of crisps. Large portions but we would have preferred quality over quantity. The only saving grace was the Wibblers beer and the helpful service from the bartender and waitress £94 could have so easily meant a decent meal. Reduce the vast menu choices...ditch the frozen convenience food and cook from scratch!

Delicious beer brewed on site, along with a well stocked bar for those who don't like beer. Pleasantly surpised with the food menu, which is extensive & really good. Four of us tried different things for dinner & all were impressed.

First time here and very local to us. This is an actual brewery as well and you can take a tour. As a real ale Dan, this was the ideal place to enjoy a pint ( or three ). Six different ales to choose from and a few lagers ( plus a couple of ciders ) - all brewed here. Service was great and a pleasant and knowledgeable bar man served us and then showed us to out table ( we had booked which is advisable ). Great choice of food and very generous portions too. Very enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Just returned from sunday lunch at Wibblers . Took my mother out to celebrate her 86th birthday. The roast dinner is fabulous. And plentiful (you will not leave hungry) had tiger prawns in garlic butter to start . I could have eaten a bucket load of them . They were delicious. Great choice of desserts too. And to top it off there is an excellent choice of real ales (other drinks available of course) . My second visit...it will not be my last . Already looking forward to returning

Our first visit after a recommendation and we decided to try the Sunday roast…..the meal was lovely! Very generous portions, very well presented and very tasty 😋 It was a little chilly to sit outside but the option is there for the warmer days. I would recommend making a reservation. The host was very friendly and the service was good.

Stopped here on our Sunday weekend train excursion. Restaurant was full, but they found us space (my 9yr old son & I). I had the gammon, egg & chips while my son had the chicken goujons off the children’s menu. Both meals were tasty, substantial and well presented. An unexpected highlight for me was a couple of pints of finely-crafted ale. The barman was very friendly and shared plenty of information about the brewery. Will definitely go back … though perhaps with a couple of my friends for a more in-depth exploration of their brewed products!

What you see is what you get, no fuss, really good food and drinks. It was really busy when we visited and the service was still good. We had the tapas board which was excellent. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Great beers and ales, food was excellent value and very tasty. Recommend the lagers there!

Absolutely amazing! My husband and I come here a lot, both with family and friends. Every single time we leave having the best time, staff are so friendly and helpful. The food is always absolutely amazing! We love it here! Definitely worth a a visit!

Very busy as a ways good food and drinks we had a good Sunday lunch bit of a wait but it was worth it

The meat was dry and hard and overcooked. The veg either soggy or hard and the staff were miserable. Not great for lunch with friends

Have just (half) eaten the amazing Liuisiana platter at Wibblers. Lots of dishes I have never seen or tasted before, all fabulous. Washed down with some sour cherry cider, yum! Taking 2 doggy bags home too

Family down from 'up north' so unch @ Wibblers gave all a chance to chat, laugh and have excellent food. We thought when the food came out that we would not clear our plates but food was so tasty we had to!! However take home...

This is the best dining and cidery on the Dengie. Waitress and chef very accommodating attentive. Excellent food, promptly served, hot and fresh. Great to see the seafood special platter is back on the menu. Thanks.

We felt very unwelcome - surprising for a small business in a rural area that surely relies on being a destination recommended in reviews etc. It began from arrival when we asked for menu for the cafe - to have it corrected to 'restaurant' (there...

Excellent visit, sampled selection of beers, Was given a guided brewery tour, had tasty lunch and bought a few beers to take home. This is a place we will definitely revisit.

Visited for my fathers 60th birthday, greeted with the warmest welcome. Fantastic beer as to be expected. The Sunday roast was huge and lovely. Really appreciate you all making our day special

Fantastic array of beers 🍻 Fantastic food. Great choice of everything. Brilliant surroundings and atmosphere. Definitely be coming back regularly

Title says it all really. Just a shame we were driving and so couldn't stay for more but i did buy some bottles and cans to drink at home.

The beer was excellent and we had different beers which were all very good….. the food was a Sunday roast, the meat was over cooked and had clearly been sat there for some considerable time…. The gravy was very poor and tasted of ash as...

The staff were very welcoming and the beer was of a very high standard. Unfortunately the lamb was so over done it was almost unrecognisable, it was dry and had lost the flavour of local lamb. I suspect it had been carved earlier in the...

Had a very busy weekend being spoilt wrotten for mothers day it was topped off this afternoon with an amazing lamb roast dinner, fantastic beer and wine 🍷 and superb service. Thank you for making my day so special 😍. Cant wait to return 😁...

Cannot fault the service. The range of beers and ciders and all else are unmatched. Warm friendly environment and clean facilities. Im a local in the area so wibblers is a go to for me. P.s. pls can I win a bottle of Prosecco xx

Just had an amazing meal at Wibblers. Food wonderfully hot and so fresh. The Beer battered black pudding was especially good! Would def recommend to anyone looking for a quality night with fine food and fab beer.

Popped to Wibblers for dinner tonight. The COVID-19 measures are fantastic and they now have a large, comfortable marquee which is great, even on these windy, wet and slightly chilly evenings. The waitress and barman are very friendly and attentive. Food, wow, absolutely gorgeous, and plenty of it. The beer is also very fresh and moorish, there’s a drink for everyone if you’re not a beer lover. I left very stuffed and extremely happy. I highly recommend a visit (or two).

We ate inside at Wibblers in August 2020.I know these are exceptional times and people have to be spread out meaning fewer tables can be used. But unused tables and chairs were just stacked at random places in the middle of the fairly basic dining room giving the impression of a second hand furniture warehouse.The food was ok, but there were 4 of us and 3 of the meals came together with the 4th one being served some minutes later and I don't ever like that.The menu said my meal (Mixed grill) came with "Chunky chips". It didn't, it came with a bowl of (almost cold) skinny fries.When the meals arrived I asked the waitress for another drink and was told I would have to leave my meal to get cold and go and queue at the bar. I don't know if this is anything to do with Covid or not, but its not good customer service. Needless to say I didn't go and they lost the sale of my 2nd drink.We were not offered desserts and didn't even know service had finished at 8pm until we saw 2 of the waitresses get into a car and leave.All in all it was a disappointment and I won't be going back.

Were in the area viewing property’s. Had read great things about Wibblers, so we popped by for lunch. It did not disappoint. We were the first to try the newly introduced seafood platter and it was fantastic. So tasty and really filling. Great service and lots of COVID measures in place to keep everyone safe. Will definitely be going back! Thanks for having us x

Had a very tasty afternoon tea for five from here last week. Plenty of sandwiches, mini quiche, cakes and Prosecco! Excellent service and easy to collect. First time I have been to Wibblers, but it certainly won't be the last.

Awesome, awesome, awesome Simply excellent service provided during lockdown, these guys have gone to another level to keep the local customers happy! Well done and we look forward to your re-opening

Came in for Friday lunch and had the chefs special mixed grill.... wow! Biggest and best mixed grill I’ve had in ages, everyone loved it and would definitely recommend to come for lunch!

I was really looking forward to going to Wibblers however found the steak and ale pie I chose could have been better if meat had been in smaller even chunks,cooked to be more tender,better seasoned,and would have preferred short crust pastry rather than slightly soggy puff pastry. I chose the cherry bakewell dessert-quite tasty but not a true bakewell topping more like a sponge topping lacking the usual texture and flavour of a bakewell,other s who had same dessert agreed.

we had a great meal here today, but before you go make sure you are hungry good service great food in a great atmosphere , yes its basic but its clean and you get a good wecome make sure to book,

This place is fantastic. The beer is consistently fantastic and the service is above and beyond any establishment in the area. My partner and I frequently visit Wibblers as we know we'll have some very good food (the burgers are exceptional), some fantastic beer and experience very good service. Thank you Wibblers, love Esta & Chris ❤

Had the dirty chicken burger, was amazing by far best burger I have ever eaten!! Yum!! Loveky tap room, great beers and lovely people!

Sunday lunchtime, not too busy but we still had to wait 55 mins for a plate of roast dinner and a macaroni cheese, this is not acceptable , we were informed of the wait after 40 mins saying the Mac cheese would be another 10 mins.My partner really enjoyed her roast pork and there was plenty on the plateMy Mac cheese what can I say, not my best choice, not my idea of the dish but except every cook has a twist on a classic but in my opinion this was a tornado away from a classic, will not order this again.Next time we will not be driving because I would like to sample more of the beers on offerThe service side of the establishment needs attention, the young guys tried hard but lacked customer focus skills In this day and age barmen collecting glasses and smoking is a definite no no even if outsideOverall we will be back to try again.

We regularly pop to Wibblers as the beer is worth the 40 min drive. popped in Saturday for a spot of lunch but they had steak on as a special so I tried it, it was good steak and reasonably priced, similarly the other half tried the garlic prawns (a favourite of ours in Lanzarote) and these were also really good. Oh and the beers as usual were extremely good and perfectly served.

Great experience great service.Visited with a group of friends. Great real ales brewed on site. Selection of other beers from the local area along with a selection of spirits.Great menu too.The whole place has a great feel about it set in a barn all brilliantly refurbished a great place to relax. Knowledgeable staff with great info about the whole brewing process.First class well done.

Great place to go for a great drink with beers brewed on site, a great selection of ciders & gins too. Food is all cooked in house great homemade meals, and good choice of gluten free meals. Great friendly atmosphere and always welcoming.

1st visit with family. Great atmosphere and a great pint of IPA. Very relaxed environment for an evening drink.

Great beer brewed on the premises, fantastic choice from golden to black beers. Food cooked to order from local suppliers. Family and dog friendly atmosphere where you can chat to the brewer "Phil" about what your drinking.

took mum for pre Christmas dinner today, what can I say, the food was great and lots of it, obviously, being a brewery tap room, the beer was good. the staff were friendly and not pushy, a perfect place to take family and friends for a meal and a couple of beers.it now has a new extension with lower tables so good for the older less able (my mum). if you like beer and good food, much of it locally sourced, this is a place not to missed.
