The best restaurants serving British food in Maldon East of England

Visited Black pig on a Sunday morning for brunch and it was very tasty. The presentation of the dishes is fantastic along with the excellent ingredients make each meal very enjoyable. We ordered the veggie brunch and Eggs Royale which I added a portion of streaky bacon as an extra. We also had the hash browns as a side dish which would have been nicer if the portion was for four and not three to save fighting for the odd one . Overall well worth a visit for some quality food.

Wonderfully decorated and intimate inside, makes a change from the larger samey same type venues in Maldon. Food was top notch, as was the service...although the fish pie was very dry. That said, that was only one below average dish out of 12. Only thing that would put me off coming back to Haus is the extortionate wine list. Cheapest bottles start at £27-30 and a Malbec was £36 and a bottle of Sauvignon was £46. Yes, £46!!!! No bottle of wine should cost that much, this is not Kensington, it's Maldon...bring the prices down to £20-25. Until you do, I regrettably, won't be returning.

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 have some friends staying for a long weekend. After a long journey due to traffic we thought it would nice to walk to the Fox & Hounds for some food and a drink. It was a beautiful evening so we sat outside. The pub has a large seating area at the front which is on the village green. The atmosphere was very relaxed. We went in and ordered the first round of drinks and collected the food menus. Our friends have two children who loved the menu and were very excited about ordering food. Louise came out and took our order. We were a party of six and had the following which we would highly recommend: - 3 x Johnny Cash Wagyu Burgers with Beer Battered Onion Rings and Fries with the skin on - 1 x Chicken Goujons with Chips - 1 x Chockrn Goujons with Cheesie Chips - 1 x Lamb Kabab with Rice Chris who is the amazing chef came out to check all was ok with the food. It was a big yes from everyone around the table. Everyone ate everything on their plates, even the children to the amazement of the parents. We ordered desserts. We have recently moved to the village. I felt very proud taking to the Fix and Hounds for the evening. I knew that they would love it and they did. If you live in Essex and want to visit a country pub for food and a drink on a summers evening the Fox and Hounds delivers on being in the heart of a traditional beautiful British village. Having plenty of outside seating on the village green, offering friendly and relaxed service, amazing vast food menu, amazing tasty freshly cooked to order food, and of course a full bar selection.

Great place with beautiful gardens and relaxed atmosphere . we attended a wedding and may see this as a future venue for an up comming gathering ourselves

good food good friendly service deserves to do better but a lot of people do not realize it is there especially visitors to the town but value for money is excellent give it a try

We had a lovely roast dinner which included homemade yorkshire puddings, loads of different vegetables and lovely gravy.

We were a group of 22 for a society day. The catering was excellent and timely. From Bacon Rolls and coffee on arrival to Ham Egg and Chips after. Very friendly staff, very agreeable venue

The food was ok nothing special but the worst thing was it was only card payments which we was not told when ordering as we always pay cash and when I asked if we didn't have cards with us how's would we pay then they told us that they would ask us to phone a friend and get them to make the payment.i went to the ferry boat inn not who wants to be a millionaire TV show

Fantastic food, and reasonably priced. The owner/manager was great and looked after us. Although a hour away from where we live we will definitely return. Support your local (or not so local) independent businesses!

great atmosphere, picturesque village, lots going on there. Excellent food!

Not impressed with The Kings Head at all, sadly we would not be willing to return. There are several other pubs in the area which are nicer.

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

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.

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.
