The best restaurants in Maldon East of England

Very delicious and substantial afternoon tea. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great atmosphere. Tea was replenished as often as needed. Alternatives were readily provided if booked in advance. Good value for the price paid.

Perfect service and delicious food, we went for afternoon tea and it was one of the best I’ve had so thank you! We will be back for sure.

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.

What a lovely little cafe. We had a realy lovely breakfast. We was very lucky to get in as it was very busy. Very clean and the staff were lovely

I ordered a Graze Table for a group of 12 which was delivered and set up by Laury so no work for me! Everyone really enjoyed the colourful range of food and the sausage rolls, vegan rolls, spanakopita (have I spelt that right?) and arancini were highly praised. My fish loving friends buzzed around the fish platter with the cat being pretty impressed too. The Brownies were gooey delicious and the Pavlova melt in the mouth.

I appreciate they have recently moved restaurants and need time to adjust but our experience was ridiculous. We arrived at 8:20. We had to ask for menus and to be served drinks. They did not take our order until half 9. The owners warned us that the dinner may take about 25 minutes to make ……. 1 hour 10 minutes later, still no food. We did not start eating until 20 to 11. The food was lovely but when it came to paying the bill, we were charged 3 times resulting in over £600 being taken. When we asked for the service charge to be removed, they refused which I don’t think is legal. If you do visit this restaurant, book for 6PM, you should be out by midnight

Took delivery; helped in ordering as needed; delivered in time although we live a little away. Food was good in quality and quantity. It is a good change of taste from usual restaurants and takeaways. Felt it could have been better without food colour and with less oil added.

Can never fault them. Always friendly and always consistent with their food. And I've tried a handful of different things from their menu. If you haven't tried their new menu, you have to try their smoothies. Their mango smoothie tastes like summer and is my new addiction.I often get their stuff to take away and am never disappointed

If there’s one thing I know from my first-class days, it’s how to spot top-tier service and great food—and the tapas evening at Cap & Feathers in Tillingham did not disappoint. Four of us touched down for a night of food and fun, and we were in for a treat! Every table was packed, and yet the service was smooth, with friendly staff and that fire roaring away, adding the perfect cosy touch. Now, onto the food: prawns, chilli chicken, beef, and a paella that made us want to stay grounded for more. Those dishes were the stars of the night, bursting with flavour and seriously good value. It’s not every day you find a menu that matches the quality you’d expect at 35,000 feet! A special shout-out to Dave, the chef, who came out for a chat, making sure everything hit the spot. It’s those personal touches that make all the difference. And with the music and buzzing atmosphere, it felt like a full-on fiesta—no turbulence here! Honestly, it was an evening where everything came together perfectly—great food, great company, and even better service. I’ll definitely be booking another seat at this culinary flight!

amazing place, lovely selection of food, amazing taste and exceptional service!! would highly recommend to anyone to come here

The seafood shack now accommodates for non seafood lovers by offering freshly cooked baguettes with a choice of filling •carved ham •cheese •chicken mayonnaise. These need to be pre ordered by 11am on the day or phone up during the week to get your order in ready for the weekend!

The food is very good here. Always fresh and tasty. The deserts are my favourite here. All home made. Have to book in advance as it is very busy. Very old pub with it's own parking for about 10 vehicles in a country setting.

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