The best restaurants in Maldon East of England

Had a great night the tapas style menu was lovely and good value. Staff were friendly they just need to get some Sailor Jerry's 😆

Lovely food, excellent portion sizes. Highly recommend

Stoped on Saturday after around 2.30 hardly anybody eating Ordered two teas panini and sandwich . Notice says “good for is worth waiting for “ . Yes we waited went in to ask for the teas which eventually came Eventually the food and it was dreadful. The coleslaw looked runny and not to good at all . The BLT on white was truly awful pale fatty bacon the cheapest of bread and lettuce just inedible I went inside with the plates and told the girl who was indifferent and surprised Toilets awful no paper which I also said when I left Really poor experience

We arrived and we were quickly shown to our table. Our drinks orders were taken, and we were swiftly served. Our meal order was taken after some deliberation over the menu as there was a great choice of many lovely things to eat! Two of the group chose starters, and after a bit of a wait, they arrived. They looked and reported to taste delicious. The serving were large, so, only order if you are really hungry! We had quite a wait for our main courses but they were worth the wait! All of the meals were well presented and again, large portions. Mine was delicious and all the others reported that theirs were tasty too. The seasonal veg were cooked to the bite which makes such a change from some being over cooked. If you have room for a dessert, there is an ample selection of hot traditional puddings through to cold desserts and ice cream. Two of us ventured to have a chocolate brownie with ice cream. Again, the portions were generous but really tasty. The ice cream portion was the biggest on the plate, which was perfect! If you want fast food then this is not for you as the serve 'good food not fast food ' which we all totally agree with!

Ordered a take away for the first time in a long while. Tasted lovely was loads for me & i ate for 2 days. Staff member was friendly & food was ready on time for me to collect. Discounted price made it better than a supermarket meal. Will be treating myself more often.

Absolutely perfect. What a truly wonderful gem this is. Thank you so much for making an afternoon celebrating the life of my husband so completely pefrect. The buffet provided was gorgeous. All fresh and wonderful, including fish and chips, fine cheeses, sandwiches, pasta and home made scotch eggs (a favourite of my husband's) still hot and everyone said the best they'd ever tasted. Honestly couldn't have asked for more. Nothing was too much trouble. My heartfelt thanks to Rob and Toby fur everything. P.s. My overnight stay in the red room... so tastefully furnished and gorgeous.

Siempre visite cuando esté en Solihull. Me encanta su jamón / queso tostado o su pollo / tostado de tocino. delicioso. También su sultana danesa... ¡Yum! El café es bueno y me gusta sentarme afuera, a menudo Baz el cantante de country está viajando por Costa y así obtiene entretenimiento gratis! Usa mi descuento suricato, 25% de descuento en comida.

This pub is a lovely old traditional pub with a lovely fire and outside seating it has a good range of beers and a good selection of food for everyone the Sunday roast is particularly good and they always have a nice selection of deserts

Was passing through and decided to stop for a drink. Staff friendly and welcoming, plenty of seating within and a lovely garden area outside

Having just finished Sunday lunch at the restaurant I would like to compliment the food, but I am afraid I cannot. Generally speaking apart from one person having nice ham,egg and chips the remaining 9 dishes are a great disappointment.Would not bother to eat here again!

Good service from Rebecca and great Sunday lunch 👍😄

Our first visit here after the takeover from the Tiptree Jam company. Rather disappointed. We were accommodated quickly despite a number of other tables already being reserved however why are dogs allowed inside the restaurant especially jappy dogs that don't like each other?? Really concerned that we saw one of the members of staff petting a dog and feeding it in between serving customers!!!! In the past dog lovers were served outside. One couple chose their cakes while holding their dogs in their arms right next to the cake display. I had the half size breakfast which was not hot when served. The streaky bacon was in bits and looked awful on the plate, the poached egg was over cooked and hard and it certainly was not served with sour dough bread as described on the menu. The bread was ordinary sliced granary bread! My husband had the Eggs Benedict and also had overcooked poached eggs - not the 'perfectly poached' ones promised by the menu under a bright yellow Hollandaise sauce. Clearly it is attracting customers but it will be interesting to see how it survives in the summer when the area gets really busy and the traditional passing customers do not want to pay the prices or eat this rather pretentious food. Tiptree knew their target audience. Customers certainly have to be prepared to pay high prices for very average food which is very creatively described on the menu!

Had a lovely Christmas meal, the food is excellent and big portions. Thank you to all the staff that made our evening really enjoyable.

Always helpful and great food not greasy well done 👍🏼

This was our second visit to the Jolly Sailor for our regular boys lunch. Excellent food, good service and well kept ales. Rather than pay in the public car park, try the large car park at the rear of the pub first.
