The best restaurants serving British food in Maldon East of England

Amazing service and the food was delicious! Would thoroughly recommend! A particular thank you to Megan, who looked after us so well.

What a charming, welcoming place this is. We were served after seating and had a lovely freshly made soup with crusty bread and butter, followed by a slice of delicious home made bread pudding. The ambience was set off by two children quietly playing a game in the corner and two more couples who had been walking on the sea wall. The owner even gave a couple’s dog a treat, making time for a leisurely chat in the meantime. Overall a great experience in the lovely village of Tollesbury. I will definitely return.

The bistro does the best Sunday roast. It was superb. Dessert was all made on premises. The service was fantastic. Warm and welcoming. Couldn’t fault it. Will definitely be coming back.

I prebooked by email .. communication was brilliant. Service very good and amazing bacon sandwich. Definitely recommend. We’ll 100% come back.

We had a delicious Mary Poppins themed afternoon tea for 2. Sandwiches, light fluffy scones, delicious cakes. The attention to detail was brilliant even down to a spoonful of sugar (sherbet) and a chocolate spoon and a blue cordial for the medicine! Staff and the service were superb. We would definitely go again to sample the rest of the menu or another themed Event.

Lovely staff, well run pub always made to feel welcome.

We wanted a sarnie and a cuppa on our way to visit St Peters on the Wall and chose this place as it was on the route…..more or less. We were so glad we did as we enjoyed generously filled sandwiches with full salad ( not just a few leaves) coleslaw and crisps and good coffee all at a very reasonable price and service with a smile. The cakes looked really good too.

Popped to Le Bouchon for our 20th wedding anniversary dinner yesterday. We have eaten here many times before and have always found it to be very good but last night’s meal (7 course tasting menu) was EXCEPTIONAL with each course being truly excellent! My husband is a retired chef (was a very good one) so naturally he is a bit of a foodie critic and can be particular! We both agree it was one of the best meals of our lives and we eat out a lot, lol!!! What a treat and on such a wonderful occasion! Thanks team, wonderful evening, food and service x

This is my favourite place in Maldon! The atmosphere and and service make it such an intimate experience. It is the perfect place to meet friends - although I will I come here with my family, my husband and love taking my six-year-old niece for breakfast dates. The team and owner, Mario, are so welcoming and friendly. I will often come here for a coffee by myself and just sit for an hour or so taking some time for me. The coffee is phenomenal. There is not a place like it nearby, the diverse menu options cater for everyone. And the Tapas! Wow! There is not a thing I do not like on the menu and the fact that it is varied for seasons and holidays means that you can have a different experience every time. I cannot recommend Driftwood high enough. It is my go to place and if you haven’t tried it, you really should! Perfect for casual dining and special occasions.

Had a Christmass meal with friends at this local pub. Staff very welcoming and food very good. The Christmas menu caters for most needs. We all enjoyed our meals

Absolutely amazing food. First time visiting after reading the reviews here and we wasn't disappointed. We will definitely be returning. Had the ham, egg and chips and is definitely up there with the best we've ever had. Highly recommend.

Really friendly and cheerful welcome to both me and my son this evening when we arrived cold after football. Great chips too! 😋

Incredible experience. Great food, location and service for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend and easily accessible on a day trip from london.
