The best restaurants in Maldon East of England

This restaurant is no longer trading - this building is now occupied by Maldon Spice. Completely different management and staff. Reviews for Chilli are no longer relevant

The new menu, is lovely. We both had the steak chips and onion rings that were amazing, lovely staff and Zoe who waited the tables was really lovely and very helpful. Jacey was great, with great knowledgeable about the food and drinks 10/10, definitely will go again. Also met a lovely couple who were celebrating a birthday. A really good night:)

The Single star, Please consider it as my aggression. I should have given minus 5 for the behaviour they shown just now. Why are these people doing business. Waited for almost 30 Minutes just for some chicken kebab. It was ready once and while I was waiting they gave my meal to some lady randomly popped in. They must be insterested in something else.

Thought I would give this shop a try, first clue was that it was empty at about 5pm on a Friday ? Very poor fish and chips paid £9.50 for large Haddock which is cooked fresh, but the problem is they then wrap it in paper and it gets totally ruined by the time you get home, the batter sticks to the paper and the fish is also on top of the chips which makes those very soggy too. Pies also £4.60 which is ridiculously expensive and chip portion is very small. Should have gone to my usual chip shop ☹️

We have just had the most amazing Sunday lunch. Everything was cooked to perfection and such generous portions. A lovely atmosphere, super staff and a great pub.

The Chequers is an excellent pub and restaurant. The menu is varied and the portions are generous. The quality of the food is always very good. I always have problems deciding on what to order as I really like about 8 things on the menu. What a dilemma to have! The bars are in keeping with this historic coaching inn. Cosy and welcoming. The selection of ales is very much to my taste and I enjoy the choice. The friendliness and service of the staff is first class. The host, Dominic, is usually on hand to have a chat or checking if his customers are happy. This really is my favourite pub in the whole of the Maldon area.

So glad they opened up when they did. Been using one in Bentalls centre up the road that's gone downhill. Food here is always freshly cooked and tastes great. Staff really friendly. Would be 5 stars if you had a card machine to pay with. Definitely use these from now on. Food is great. Now given 5 stars as they now take card

Some of the staff are lovely and can't do enough but the most recently employed couldn't really care less. They don't listen to what you want and just go their own ways. Some training in proper customer service might help. I go regularly - if certain staff are on the till, I turn around and go to Costa over the road. It's such a shame because most of the people who work there are just lovely.

Good friendly staff make the venue agreeable and inviting, food is ok but uninspiring. Fairly priced and reasonable quality, typical fast food american diner fare.

One of my favourite fast-food joints in all of Maldon. Delivery is always super quick, and personally, the pizza food tastes better and is of higher quality than any local competitors, including chain restaurants like Domino's or Papa John's.

Ordered a delivery and knew straight away the food would be bad. Within 10 minutes of calling, m food arrived and it was clearly microwaved to within an inch of its life. Nothing seemed fresh, the beef was rubbery and the sauce was bitter. The wontons were so flat I still don't know if they had filling in or not! Honestly it was almost inedible. I wasted so so much!! Usually I'd save it for the next day but it was only fit for the bin.

This is the 3rd time myself and my party have returned to Osea leisure park and we were planning on returning again next year until this experience at the deck house which has now made us pause to discuss other options. On checkin we were excited to be told of the investments that had been made to the deck house restaurant / bar - sadly that’s where the excitement ended. We were greeted in a very friendly manner as we bought bingo tickets for the adults and the kids played on the arcades at the other end of the room. In total due to the size of our group we must have spent nearly £500 on games, bingo and the bar/food. It then went downhill. Our kids were spoken to rudely by management because they were using the machines whilst bingo was on ( a simple rule of no kids in the building during bingo would have negated this), one of our party was asked to leave the bar as she had a baby ( in a very unprofessional manner) and then one of our party were ignored when they won at bingo because the caller ‘didn’t hear them’ - by the time of the latter all the kids had gone because of the way they had been spoken to - some regulars and staff actually shouted at them to ‘shut up’! All they were doing was playing on the games provided - no shouting or bad behaviour. The bingo caller and some of the other bingo participants who I assume were regulars were beyond unfriendly and so unprofessional that we all left mid through the game and came away shocked at how a purported family friendly establishment had got it so wrong. I have never been made to feel so unwelcome - it was appalling. The osea leisure park accommodation is great and our experiences until this point have been excellent. If we do come back we will not be going anywhere near the deckhouse and if management want a truly family friendly holiday village they need to address their staff and rules immediately. Very disappointing!

Dog friendly pub on the shore front. Decent food and excellent service

I've not had the food here. The pub has amazing views in all seasons and weathers. The staff are very good and friendly. A definite place to go.

What a let down booked a table to have dinner and was told they do not do food but the website is still says they do need to update website to say they no longer do food 😡
