The best restaurants in Maldon East of England

It’s 2020, the pandemic if rife, school spots are limited. My wife finds this preschool for our cherished daughter in Arnold. As an Annapolis resident I had reservations. Pros: “academically” - we’re talking about babies here - the school is worthy of 5 stars. My daughter has learned a lot - difficult to put into words but I’d say they passively learn through tasks and the curriculum teaches useful skills that seem to keep a firm eye on setting them up for kindergarten. The key point is that they are learning and this isn’t mere daycare. I have zero complaints. Teachers? The teachers are incredibly influential at this age - but having had three years at the school with two daughters I can say with absolute confidence that the faculty are professional and emotionally vested in their children. The school employs a full range of age groups within the faculty- which means your child will have the benefit of youthful and experienced teachers. I found the older teachers seemed to LOVE their work and this showed with the children’s intimate interaction. Cuddles etcetera. Negatives: The only negative I have experienced is that, for one of my daughters, her peer class size could have been bigger. A large part of my negative is subjective and thus it doesn’t negate the “5 star” review… my daughter‘s birthday meant that she was three years old in September, whereas a lot of her classmates were half a year younger. That made a big difference with her interaction. If the class was bigger, she may have had more children in her age group. Six months means nothing to us, but put a 2.5 year-old next to a three-year-old and you’ll see there’s a big difference. Generally, the class sizes are however exactly what they should be… In sum I was surprised by how good the school is… if you’re reading this, I assume you’re like me…namely, you’re concerned and want your precious children get the best you can provide. I am mindful that I am writing like a cheerleader here but truly this preschool is/was an excellent choice for us; albeit, initially, a reticent one for me! Best of luck.

We only visited for lunch but service was excellent and meal was lovely.

Amy our waitress was awesome. So was the food! Will definitely be back 😁

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.

Great pub/restaurant with pleasant decor. Good varied menu. Delicious food. Staff very welcoming. Will definitely be back as heard their Sunday roast is good.

My Mother and step father came along for lunch with my teenage nephew, using a gift voucher that I purchased for their 40th Anniversary. They had a terrible experience with the food they were served, my mothers jacket potato was not only cold but had been cooked the day before with the stale taste, she sent it back and they brought out another, undercooked and hard! Needless to say she didn’t eat it. My nephew’s cream tea didn’t fare much better, again the scones were not fresh, like the had been made the day before, a bit hard and stale. My stepfather’s ham sandwich was OK. This is very disappointing, especially as it was for such a nice occasion.

Should stay open til 4:00pm if it says it’s open til 4:00pm. We turned up at 3:45pm and they wouldn’t even serve us a takeaway cup of tea. All the staff were out and locked up well before the advertised closing time. Poor show.

Brilliant breakfast for a large group. Lovely place too! We were a hen party and we all enjoyed the breakfast (much needed). Good value and quality and excellent service.

Excellent oriental food with plenty of seating and great menu options available. Very friendly staff helping to add to the experience. Public car park at the rear just off the high street.

We have regularly visited the cabin over some 15 years and sadly the latest reincarnation of this pleasant cafe appears to have given up on any kind of customer service, visiting this weekend we politely stood beside the sign asking us to wait to be seated and three members of staff ignored us for 5 minutes, we looked into the dining area where a few guests were surrounded by uncleared tables. We left having been ignored for another couple of minutes and visited another establishment which was equally disinterested telling us they had no drink or food..... Sadly 40 years ago when I sailed regularly at Burnham week and evening racing we always had troubles with aggressive locals,although we only live a few miles away, it would appear the people of Burnham really don't want visitors to support their businesses. I would suggest if you want to walk by the river and get lunch or afternoon tea, go to Maldon they are far more welcoming.

Not welcoming, very unattractive and cold staffs. Wrong order was given. It is very unusual for an Indian restaurant to serve raw vegetables but unfortunately this place has served me some raw vegetables.

Just moved to the area so decided to give this a try. Glad we did. Food was really tasty, great selection, our Chicken Tikka Naga being the star turn. Plenty of it too. We had delivery (decent discount applied, thank you) and it was delivered quickly and professionally. Will definitely be our go to Indian for the future.

Food never arrived restaurant could not get in contact with driver Had me waiting around for an hour after first call kept saying it was nearly here Ridiculous to work with another company and have no proper communication!

Fantastique expérience! Super accueil dans un lieu « genuine » avec un excellent menu et un service magnifique managé par Mark et son équipe. Allez y

Not long moved to the area and fancied a Chinese takeaway. Had a look online and found Jasmine. The full is available lots of choice. Decide to order half a duck with pancakes, prawn crackers, boiled rice, crispy chilli beef and sweet & sour chicken. We phoned and placed the order and drive to pick it up. Food was delicious. I highly recommend the duck and the sweet & sour chicken, Will definitely be using again,
