The best restaurants in Wickham Bishops and Woodham Maldon East of England

Always great food and super friendly service. Prices reasonable and we were well looked after. Can’t wait to try the new Coggeshall branch soon…

The food is very good here. Always fresh and tasty. The deserts are my favourite here. All home made. Have to book in advance as it is very busy. Very old pub with it's own parking for about 10 vehicles in a country setting.

A lovely little pub off the beaten track. A nice welcome from the landlady and a superbly kept pint of Abbot Ale. Lots of cat memorabilia around the old wooden beamed pub. A great find!

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!

Just back from an excellent lunch after a lovely 6 mile walk starting and ending at The Queen Vic. Wonderful hospitality and the food was really good - very generous portions too.

7 of us descended on this building for lunch and were warmly greeted by our lovely waitress, who made us feel very welcome. Tables were repositioned & cleaned , chairs moved, menus provided and adequate time allowed for us to settle and make our choices. 5 adults & 2 children all with various requests ranging from ham egg & chips, sandwiches, scrambled eggs on toast and jacket potatoes. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, and the cups of tea's & coffee's. Prices were fair and we all said we would return.

We all had an excellent time at the Hurdlemakers Arms, tucking into roast dinners, we each had different, beef, lamb, pork and turkey , and they definitely don’t skimp on the portions of meat. We had a great selection of vegeatables ( of which the leftovers we had boxed up to bring home) All our plates were emptied, it was all so beautifully cooked and presented.Our partners had starters of homemade soup , and homemade pate, both of which were extremely tasty, but having visited before we girls skipped the starters to allow room for the amazing roast. We finished with coffees as no room left for desserts. Nettie and Gary and the gang have great hospitality qualities, and obviously take pride in the food they serve, which is evident as a roomful of happy diners. Would definitely recommend for anyone to dine out, and we will certainly be coming back for the Christmas themed dinner as soon as we can arrange a date.

This place is a favourite for lunch and on this occasion I had rib-eye steak whilst the others I was with had roasts and one a vegetarian option. All thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. My steak was cooked exactly as ordered and those having roasts loved them. Will definitely be back soon.

I ordered Rogan Josh which was very Oily and greasy. Wife ordered Biryani mild spice. Biryani turned out to be very very hot despite that we ordered mild. The meal was 60% left. Raised this with the staff. Was ignored. When it was bill time, this got questioned. Nothing was offered in the way of reducing or voiding that dish. It had 2no pints of Orange and Lemonade….£7 Each!!!!!!!! We will not be going back there again. Beware people you’re food will be oily and disgusting and you will get ripped to shreds on the drinks. £66 for the two of us…. Never again

I wanted to praise The Green Man. We've been going to the pub since we were children, over the past 50 years and although we do not live in Lt Braxted any longer we still go back; it never fails to deliver. The new owners are keeping the standard high! The liver & bacon was delicious, very tender & plentiful. The prawn & veg Thai stir-fry was amazing, really spicy but not overly so. Go to the Green Man, you will not be disappointed!
